This document outlines a project to develop online climate change education modules to engage teachers and students and correct common misconceptions. The project team will create 5 standalone modules using NASA data and a constructivist approach. Modules will address misconceptions through videos, models, counterfactuals and pre/post assessments. A graphic design group will enhance the interface. The goal is to pilot test the modules in local schools in 2012 and disseminate them more widely starting in 2013.

CLEAN's primary goal is to steward a broad collection of educational resources and foster a supporting community to help facilitate students, teachers, and citizens becoming climate literate and informed about "the climate's influence on you and society and your influence on climate."
The focus of CLEAN's efforts are to integrate the effective use of the resources across all educational levels – with a particular focus on the middle-school through undergraduate levels (grades 6-16) as well as to citizens through formal and informal education venues and communities. The activities of the CLEAN Pathway project have 3 major components.
These slides were presented at the 5th annual Collaboration for STEM Education, Research and Commercialization Forum, Winter 2012, at the University of Notre Dame

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Education)?
6. Counterfactuals
• The Internet proliferates misconceptions of climate
change.
• Each module will use counterfactuals to address
misconceptions.
– Can help address student susceptibility to
misconceptions.
– Promote critical thinking using constructivist
approach
7. Misconception: Weather and climate are the same
thing.
Module: What is the relationship between short-term
weather and long-term climate change?
terrestrial planets like Earth?

Lake Erie freezes over 100% in some years and not
very much in others. This year to year variation is
due to changes in the weather.
8. Misconception: Climate change will have no significant
impact on people or nature.
Module: Response of the Sahel region of Africa to
climate change
• View Lake Chad from 1973-
2001
• Investigate the Palmer Drought
Index in the Sahel over time
Lake Chad Shrinking 1973-2001
9. Misconception: Individuals cannot make a difference.
Module: How can I reduce my greenhouse gas
emissions?
• Students will calculate
their carbon footprint.
• Students will extend that
to their entire class and
then to their state using
the Vulcan website.
CO2 emissions 2002 from fossil fuels
10. Misconception: Is the uncertainty related to the exact current
and future global climate change damages an excuse for
inaction?
Module: Investigate the cost-benefit ratio of action/inaction
• Students will use the
production possibility
curve model to see how
action will not hurt the
economy or cost jobs
• Students will learn how to
perform a cost-benefit
Example cost-benefit analysis
analysis: visualization
11. Future Activities
• 2012
– Finish drafts of modules
– Test pilot modules with classrooms in Toledo area
– Revise modules based on feedback
• 2013
– Roll out to entire Toledo Diocese schools
• 2014
– Disseminate widely
