The document discusses 21st century education and the implications of digital technologies on teaching and learning. It addresses how literacy is changing in the digital age, how learning is becoming more connective and distributed, and how pedagogy needs to shift from a prescriptive to connective approach. Key concepts discussed include social media, web 2.0, convergence, and new media literacies. The document argues that education needs to resemble modern culture and that learning can occur beyond traditional institutions through networks and communities.
Digital Scholarship powered by reflection and reflective practice through the...Judy O'Connell
Current online information environments and the associated social and pedagogical transactions within them create an important information ecosystem that can and should influence and shape the professional engagement and digital scholarship within our learning communities in the higher education sector. Thanks to advances in technology, the powerful tools at our disposal to help students understand and learn in unique ways are enabling new ways of producing, searching and sharing information and knowledge. By leveraging technology, we have the opportunity to open new doors to scholarly inquiry for ourselves and our students. While practical recommendations for a wide variety of ways of working with current online technologies are easily marketed and readily adopted, there is insufficient connection to digital scholarship practices in the creation of meaning and knowledge through more traditional approaches to the ‘portfolio’. In this context, a review of the portfolio integration into degree programs under review in the School of Information Studies led to an update of the portfolio approach in the professional experience subject to an extended and embedded e-portfolio integrated throughout the subject and program experience. This was done to support a strong connection between digital scholarship, community engagement, personal reflection and professional reflexive practices. In 2013 the School of Information Studies established CSU Thinkspace, a branded Wordpress solution from Campus Press, to better serve the multiple needs and learning strategies identified for the Master of Education programs. The aim was to use a product that replicates the authentic industry standard tools used in schools today, and to model the actual ways in which these same teachers can also work in digital environments with their own students or in their own professional interactions. This paper will review how the ePortfolio now provides reflective knowledge construction, self-directed learning, and facilitate habits of lifelong learning within their professional capabilities.

Igniting a passion for reading and research is core business for school libraries, inevitably placing the library at the centre of the 21st century reading and learning experience. It is in this context that digital literature creates some challenging questions for teachers and librarians in schools, while the emergence of digital technology and/or device options also offers a great many opportunities. Collection development in school libraries encompasses an understanding of the need to contextualise these e-literature needs within the learning and teaching experiences in the school. The Australian Library and Information Association’s 2013 statement Future of collections 50:50 predicted that library print and ebook collections in libraries would establish a 50:50 equilibrium by 2020 and that this balance would be maintained for the foreseeable future. This statement from the Australian professional body raised the need to know more about e-collections in school libraries. For teacher librarians in Australian schools, the nature of online collections, and the integration of ebooks into the evolving reading culture is influenced by the range and diversity of texts, interfaces, devices, and experiences available to complement existing print and media collections or services. Management and budget constraints also influence e-collections. By undertaking a review of the literature, a discussion of the education context, and a critical analysis of the trends evidenced by national survey data, this paper presents an overview of the changes and emerging trends in digital literature and ebook collections in school library services in Australia today.

ABSTRACT
This paper details an explorative and experimental project that is seeking to better implement virtual
technologies of Web 2.0 into the pedagogy of higher education. Our project endeavours to position these
technologies as a means of reorienting pedagogic practice within higher education around truly chaordic
communities of practice that serve to develop digital citizens. We have undertaken this project with the
belief that higher education should be concerned with answering the calls of our increasing digital society;
that is to say become a place for foster digitally literate learners, who’s learning is not restricted to physical
boundaries of the university but rather happens at all times over physical and virtual spaces.
This degree is designed to develop agile leaders in new cultures of digital formal and informal learning, with flexible program options in knowledge networking, global information flow, advanced search techniques, learning analytics, social media, game-based learning, digital literature, learning spaces design and more. Ideal for educators, school leaders, ICT integrators, teacher librarians, instructional designers, learning support specialists and teacher educators, who are seeking to develop expertise in global and community networked knowledge environments.
The emergence of online classes has transformed the landscape of education, offering students and educators an innovative platform to engage, collaborate, and learn in a virtual environment. With the advent of advanced technology and digital connectivity, online classes have gained prominence as a flexible and accessible mode of learning, providing individuals with the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills from the comfort of their homes. In this blog post, we delve into the dynamic realm of online education, uncovering its benefits, challenges, and the transformative impact it has on the future of learning and personal development.
Enhanced Flexibility and Accessibility:
Online classes offer unparalleled flexibility, allowing students to customize their learning schedules and pace their educational journey according to their individual needs and preferences. With 24/7 access to course materials, interactive modules, and multimedia resources, online learning caters to diverse learning styles and accommodates the needs of working professionals, remote learners, and individuals with varying commitments and responsibilities.
Interactive Learning and Collaborative Engagement:
Virtual classrooms foster interactive learning experiences through multimedia presentations, real-time discussions, and collaborative projects, enabling students to engage with course materials and peers from diverse geographical locations. Online platforms equipped with interactive tools, video conferencing, and virtual breakout sessions promote dynamic student-teacher interactions, fostering a vibrant learning community that encourages active participation and knowledge sharing.
Personalized Learning and Self-Paced Progress:
Online classes promote personalized learning pathways, empowering students to pursue their educational goals at their own pace and convenience. Adaptive learning technologies, self-assessment modules, and personalized feedback mechanisms facilitate individualized learning experiences, enabling students to identify their strengths, address areas for improvement, and chart their academic progress in a supportive and nurturing virtual environment.
Technological Challenges and Digital Literacy:
The transition to online learning poses certain technological challenges, including internet connectivity issues, software compatibility, and digital literacy barriers that may hinder the learning experience for some students. Educators and institutions play a vital role in providing technical support, digital literacy resources, and user-friendly interfaces to ensure equitable access to online education and foster an inclusive learning environment for all.
Social Interaction and Emotional Well-Being:
While online classes offer a dynamic platform for academic engagement, they may lack the face-to-face social interactions and interpersonal connections fostered in traditional classroom settings. Students may experience feelings of isolation, disengagement,

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.

3. why english matters
“It's hard to imagine what other department is better
suited to helping us prepare, in practical and profound
ways, for our future, for the highly unpredictable changes
in how we read, write, and communicate that are
reshaping school and work in the Information Age.”
Cathy Davidson, Duke University
https://www.hastac.org/
4. essential questions
• What does literacy look like in the digital age?
• How would you define digital age learning?
• What are the implications for what and how we teach /
engage students?
• If digital age students were asked to define essential
literacies for a teacher, what would they include?
11. the internet landscape matters in education
what’s important: the properties and dynamics of the internet
landscape – not the tools – and how to evolve with them
12. The New Media Literacies
play
performance
simulation
appropriation
multitasking
distributed cognition
collective intelligence
judgement
transmedia navigation
negotiation

15. 21st Century Education
Rethinking the who, what,
where & when of learning.
From prescriptive to
connective practices.
The delivery & distribution
of learning.
Who participates in
the learning process.
21st Century Education
Diverse learning spaces.
16. pedagogy | learning networks
Beyond the institutionalised logic of the school towards the
network logic of the learning community.
Learning institutions rethinking the possibilities around what
can be learnt, where learning can happen and who is
involved in the learning process.
18. reflect
• Are students equipped with competencies to communicate
effectively in digital spaces?
• Can students argue, inform, instruct, analyse etc for digital
spaces?
• How would you teach students to write for (and with!)
mobile devices?
19. Responding to opportunities & challenges
Trying to protect students and instructional time by banning
Web 2.0 or setting policies to keep it “safe.”
Preserving existing programmes and practices by using
technology in a way that ‘fits’ into what is already in place.
Taking a progressive approach by allowing technology to
transform the organisation rather than moving it faster and
further on its existing path.
20. Current technology demands a totally different
approach to instructional design and also teaching
methodology. It requires new skills from both teacher
and student.
21. Teachers are the learning professionals and catalysts.
When you put them in the mix with new technology,
you get powerful outcomes.
