This document discusses creating digital identities to support research, teaching, and learning. It provides examples of social media platforms like Twitter, Flickr, and blogs that can be used to build an online presence. Guidelines are presented for developing an academic digital identity through various tools to highlight work, seek collaborations, engage in discussions, and maintain connections. Different styles of using these tools as an audience member, creator, or disruptor are outlined. Resources and examples are shared to help get started in developing a personal learning network and digital identity through curation and participation.

Social Media: Are you maximising its potential? #AHEIAJoyce Seitzinger
Invited Speaker presentation at the Australian Higher Educational Industrial Association (AHEIA) conference in Sydney, 17 May 2013.
This audience consisted mainly of HR managers in higher education organisations, so I aimed to show the rise of the networked academic and the advantages of networked practices by employees, and ask them if/how the organisation's policies enable or support those networked practitioners.
El objetivo de esta conferencia, impartida en la Facultat de Ciències de la Comunicació de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona el 25.10.2017 en el marco de la Open Access Week, es demostrar los beneficios derivados de la utilización de recursos basados en el web 2.0, como por ejemplo los blogs y las redes sociales como Twitter o Researchgate, para incrementar la difusión, la visibilidad y el impacto de la producción científica de los investigadores, así como para mejorar su reputación digital.

Academics' online presence: Assessing and shaping your online visibility_26oc...SarahG_SS
In our digital world, if you use the web, you have an online presence. And academics are no exception. Universities have webpages profiling their staff. Academic networks, like LinkedIn, Academia.edu and more, are used by researchers around the globe to keep in contact with colleagues and collaborators. And social media are everywhere you turn.
As an academic, you want your research outputs to be found and read. Making a difference and having an influence is almost a job requirement. Nowadays, the expectation is that you can be found online. So, what can you do to be aware of how you appear online? And, what can you do to increase your visibility? This presentation was part of a session for academics wanting to find out how they can review their existing digital footprints and shadows, make decisions about what kind of online presence they would like and plan how they can achieve it.
Several different possible ways of increasing their visibility as well as the visibility of their research and their outputs are discussed.

The Nature of Government
by Ayn Rand
A government is an institution that holds the exclusive power to enforce certain rules of social conduct in a given geographical area.
Do men need such an institution—and why?
الحكومة هي مؤسسة، تتمتع بسلطة حصرية «لفرض» قوانين محددة للأداء الاجتماعي في منطقة جغرافية معينة.
هل البشر بحاجة إلى مثل هذه المؤسسة؟ ولماذا؟ بما أن عقل الإنسان هو أداة رئيسة من أجل البقاء، ووسيلة مثلى للحصول على المعلومات من أجل توجيه تصرفاته، فبذلك يضحي الشرط الرئيسي لوجوده متمثلا في حرية التفكير والتصرف وفقا لتقييماته العقلانية.

As faculty blogger Michael Arnzen describes it, The Difficulty Paper
comes out of the idea that by grappling with intimidating readings, students can master their anxieties about (and become more confident reading) academic texts, and that – through writing out their thoughts (e.g., taking a metacognitive approach) – they can identify what they already know and what they still need to find out.

Delivered via email to students within the "Preparing for Class 2" email that would set out 4 readings (each student reading only one in preparation for a jigsaw activity) and 3 videos to review for the coming week. A final slide would be added for the particular class to link to the week's Active Reading Assignment (sometimes reflective responding, sometimes application responding, sometimes both).
slide set with preliminary notes as i build a public learning and teaching philosophy statement using non-traditional modes of delivery - as promised to students in a Teaching in Higher Ed course that I would make emergent document public. This is the penultimate draft - ready for final scripting.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

27. Summary
If timely communication, engagement, relationships
and conversation are considered of value to academic
activities then, if used effectively, platforms such as
Twitter can have a marked impact.
[I]f we think of a role of academic work to engage with
people, to spark conversations and debate, pull
together specialists in a field to network we find the
value of social media. Social media pulls insiders
out, and allows outsiders in to organizations, so that
they can create a more meaningful relationship
between themselves and their academic work and
communities.
