Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…
How to Plan a OBE Lesson incorporating ICT to support aspects of Learning & Thinking

Some ways to promote creativity in our classroomsDr. Goutam Patra
It is argued creativity can be team-based, observable and learnable. It is evidenced in a collective capacity to select, reshuffle, combine, or synthesise already existing facts, ideas and skills in original ways. Thus we could promote creative thinking, being and doing in HE learning spaces by focusing on creative, collaborative learning activities among both learners and teachers (and see also Livingston, 2010).
Here are the some ways of creating creativity in Teaching- learning situation

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.

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.

children?
7. Reflective Write
Three Minute Write:
What do our curriculum & our classrooms need to look
like so that our children are walking across the stage at
graduation with the things that we value?
10. Concept-Based, Competency-Driven Curriculum
Founded on the core competencies and focuses on big ideas
Examples of Big Ideas:
ELA K-9: “Language and literature help us find meaning and joy”.
Science 8: “Cell theory explains the fundamental nature of life”.

are related in real-life contexts”.
Social Studies 8: “The increasing connectedness of global society
carries both positive and negative consequences.”
11. Concept Based: Big Ideas
• From many specific PLOS to fewer, broader
Learning Standards
• Build deeper understandings
• Use knowledge & understandings in different
contexts
• Can shape curriculum in innovative,
creative, and responsive ways
12. What are Core Competencies
Core Competencies are:
•
the intellectual, personal, and social proficiencies needed for success in
school, careers, and life

Inquiry-based teaching is problem or question
driven; it encourages collaboration; it makes
kids into explorers and discoverers; it requires
kids to think; and it puts teachers in
nonconventional roles.

29. Karen Hume: Tuned Out
Case Learning
Involves inquiry if used when the case study is problem based, but not if it serves
as a review of previously taught concepts presented in narrative form.
Expeditionary
Learning
Inquiry that involves exploration of the natural world and/or the community
through students going out into the world and experts coming into the school.
Group
Investigations
Inquiry that is divided among small groups, with each group conducting its own
investigation of an aspect of the question or problem. Groups work
interdependently to share results and come to conclusions.
Literature
Circles
Inquiry through small, peer-led reading discussion groups, using any text form
(Harvey and Daniels, 2009)
Problem-Based
Learning (PBL)
Inquiry based on a problem that is presented so students recognize they need to
learn new knowledge in order to solve the problem.
Project-Based
Learning
Inquiry that results in the construction of a performance or artefact. Note that not
all student-centered products are the result of an inquiry.
Simulations
Involve inquiry when they provide a way for students to discover a variety of
perspectives, such as through role-play
30. Inquiry Definitions
Inquiry inducts students into the business of all
content areas, professions, and real-world
work. In other words, inquiry is the
apprenticeship into true expertise and
understanding by doing what experts do.

Boas, from Inquiring Minds: Learn to Read
