Digital Citizenship in Education Visioning Safety and Responsibilities in Dig...ijtsrd
The inevitability of digital tools and technology usage has accelerated over the past 30 years and continues to grow rapidly. Digital interaction has become a part of everyday life and continues to covers our mind. This research assessed the likelihood of the respondents on how to deal technology properly. Using statistical tool and Survey Questionnaire, the data were analyzed using mean, percentages and t test two independent samples to measure the significant mean difference of the group respondents. The finding reveals that the group respondents were likely vulnerable when using digital tools. This includes the safety and security and their responsibilities. This study suggests that students and teachers were at risk during this advent of technology. Roberto L.

The role of UK higher education (HE), further education (FE) and skills sectors in developing student employability is clear. Technology can be an enabler to the development and communication of employability skills, but are organisations and employers making best use of it?

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.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science.

opportunites? How can the learning of organisations inform
and shape mainstream education.
Digital by Degree. What can we do to ensure people have a
better chance of gaining the skills which are actually needed?
Digital Skills for Life. How do we up skill the existing work
force - those in and out of employment? Can we provide
better opportunities for career transitions, career pathways
for all ages?
13. Do parents and teachers understand?
• EU could face a shortage of up to 900,000 ICT
professionals by 2020 (E-skills for Jobs in Europe)
• 47% jobs will disappear over next two decades
due to technology but for every job lost two will
be created (Frey and Michael Osborne, University of Oxford)
• The ICT workforce is likely to increase by 39% by
2030 (Science Council )
• 132,000 job opportunities possible in big data
over the next 5 years (E-skills)

24. Digital Skills for Life
• Government should invest in helping all the UK population
acquire basic digital skills by 2020, sharing the cost with
businesses and the charitable sector.
• Government should ensure job seekers are offered digital
skills training to help them back into the workforce.
• Government should mount an awareness campaign about the
need to improve digital skills among SMEs and charities. This
should include piloting of voucher schemes to access digital
skills training.
• Government should commission a major review of the
provision of lifelong learning for digital skills across the UK.
25. As a region …

student regardless of gender and background
• Promote all pathways that benefit the student
rather than the educator
• Promote cross curricular, project based work
• Review policy on digital devices
30. Apprenticeships
• Simplify the apprenticeship system
• Government must champion models which allow
microbusinesses and SMEs to either share digital
apprentices or to collaborate
• All employers should ensure that their training
providers are developing their apprentices’ digital
skills.
• All apprentices should be offered remedial digital
skills training if they have limited digital skills.
31. Digital By Degree

a- there is little consistency of approach, with variable strategies for
innovation and experimentation among teaching practitioners within colleges and other
providers.
b- limited access to continuing professional development opportunities or personal
preferences towards low-tech teaching methods

recognised the need for employers to play a greater role in course development and
delivery. Other recommendations:
improve digital technology infrastructure for individual learning; create minimum requirements (notably, access to
digital technology and infrastructure) for all FEIs; develop new, digitally-relevant investment criteria; and improve sector dialogue with funders.
