SXSW Interactive TCU: Learning to Change the World through Technology, Innova...Beata Jones
This presentation describes an honors colloquium offered at a private university in the U.S. which created a socially networked class experience that bridged the classroom with life outside of it. We offered an interdisciplinary, immersive, inquiry-based learning environment around the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive conference in Austin, culminating with student research projects and a TED-like event back on campus, after the conference. The course promoted the themes of technology, innovation and entrepreneurship at the university, while strengthening students’ communication skills within an interdisciplinary domain, leading to unique opportunities for the participating students. The course attempted to build a culture of innovation based on collaboration, interdisciplinary inquiry, and intrinsic motivation.
The course built connections between the students and the 30K+ technology, innovation and entrepreneurship community that attends annually the SXSW Interactive festival. The festival brings speakers and startups in the technology, social media, business, and communications fields for five days each spring, providing attendees with a chance to see technology innovation and entrepreneurship in action as new companies are announced, and new products are launched.
In the course, we asked the students to embrace distinct themes of SXSW Interactive so that each student had a unique, inspiring, and highly relevant experience. Students researched their select themes within the framework of technology, innovation and entrepreneurship contexts, heard from speakers, attended an opportunity recognition competition with other entrepreneurship students on campus, planned their conference attendance, attended SXSW sessions all day during the festival, networked with attendees and completed structured interviews, wrote about their experiences using new and traditional media, and organized a TED-like event back on campus, with presentations to faculty and fellow students about the things they learned. All the elements of their experiences were captured in individually themed ePortfolia, available online, which include the final learning reflection and synthesis.

Shift to the future – the technological disruption of learning and work - cio...Brian Kuhn
We live in unprecedented times... technology is disrupting learning and work as we know it. Machines are taking over more and more jobs and we need to be preparing this generation for a very uncertain unpredictable rapidly changing world. Education needs to shift to a world of abundant knowledge, leveraged through networks, and knowledge engines. CIO's need to be futurists and guides for their organizations to lead them forward into the future.

Leadership in a connected age: Change, challenge and productive chaos!Judy O'Connell
We cannot hold back the forces of change. The 21st century leader recognises that without keeping an eye on the future we may be doomed to remaining a prisoner of the past. With this eye on the future, the agile leader welcomes innovation, embraces change and thrives on chaos. What skills are necessary to survive in the future? What do you need to do today? Trends in knowledge construction, participatory cultures and social networks can give us the blueprint to successful leadership in our connected age.

Resistance is Futile: The dynamics of the Science CollectiveJudy O'Connell
Educators are increasingly using new media and digital technologies to teach and engage their 21st century students. Reading, writing, gaming, trans-media, immersive worlds, augmented reality, and Web 3.0 are all part of the new digital frontiers. Whether it’s science or science fiction, Alice in Wonderland or Angry Birds, the dynamics of this new information ecology can transform science classroom experiences. Assimilate these ideas, tools and techniques into your ‘collective’ ~ Resistance is futile.

Orientate parents to our changing world driven by technology. Use this presentation along with roadtrips to various social media sites using your computer, mobile phone, and tablet showing how people seamlessly move among the tools interacting with others, sharing, etc. Emphasize the important of parents learning to drive these tools so they can teach and support their kids online. Don't be afraid and ban, rather learn, embrace, and guide.
Vision for the future of learning and workBrian Kuhn
A vision for how learning and work can be enabled through technology. Three key strategies are essential: infrastructure, access equity, and learning & work spaces/systems. The interesting work and learning is made possible once the first two are substantially addressed. The first two areas are barriers to learning and work if not addressed well.

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.

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.
