SXSWedu 2018: Making Critical Thinking Real with Digital ContentJulie Evans
Everyone from employers to educators are talking about the need for today’s students to develop effective critical thinking and problem solving skills-but few people know what that really looks like in a classroom or how to measure student competency in a meaningful way. This workshop is designed to take the conceptual understanding of critical thinking to a more practical reality. Grounded in research about employers’ expectations and educators’ challenges in this area, the workshop will use innovative digital content and games to demonstrate how students can effectively develop problem solving muscles, and how teachers can measure student competencies. Features Arts, Science and Civics.

Pink of Blue? Examining gender sensitivity in games - SXSWedu 2016Julie Evans
Contrary to what we may want to believe, emerging research indicates that use of digital tools and content within learning is not gender-blind. While girls and boys share a common interest in technology to support personalized learning, their uses of and aspirations for digital learning are often quite different. This is especially true with game-based learning. In this workshop, we will roll up our sleeves and interact with a variety of games that are popular in education. Using a new evaluation tool, participants will gain an insider perspective on gender-bias or sensitivity within games by examining the characterization, imagery and language, storyline and results of the game play.

The digital revolution is here and it’s changing how we work, and how we learn. And while technology is powerful in many ways, it can’t replicate our innately human traits; listening, teamwork, empathy, leadership, building relationships, building trust, and so on. What if we could leverage technology to support and improve these more human traits? How can we find a balance and better yet, use technology to support the effectiveness of all of our human interactions? Learn how Insights is embracing technology to leverage and enhance our humanity.

Assessing Your Current DesignOps Practice: A Heuristic Model - Dave MaloufWeb à Québec
Many companies are finding that they are being asked to add a DesignOps practice to their existing design organizations. This is great news, because by adding an operational mindset, and putting intentional design to one’s design operations, only better design will happen, which is the point, eh?
But how can I measure and communicate success? How do I even know what success is? How can I prioritize, and roadmap planning, and growth of my DesignOps practice?
In this lecture, I will propose a system that can be easily deployed and even customized so that as a design leader or a DesignOps leader you can show anyone in your company where you are at and where you are going to be working to mature practice and why.
Measuring & Evaluating Your DesignOps PracticeDave Malouf
This premiere version of this talk was given at WAQ in Quebec City on April 10, 2019.

https://www.slideshare.net/JeroenSpierings/professional-development-for-teachers
You must learn to see the world a new. We learn from the emerging future and utilize the wisdom of crowds This needs to be the mindset for transformation.
In general the flow of knowledge will activate the continuous optimization process.
A circular process where we constantly seek for and access knowledge, from feeling, observation, demonstration and challenging we are able to apply the knowledge in practice. We create deeper understanding and new ideas for adoption will emerge. We reflect on the application and learn so that we can curate new knowledge and share this with a wider audience. We focus on empowering teachers to make a difference. Important element is the sharing of knowledge, expertise and experiences so that we collectively learn from the emerging future. Each teacher can use the flow of knowledge to build their personal productivity grid to drive personal growth.
You step into the future to shift your frame of reference.

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.
