Young American students are increasingly using communication technologies in schools. While college students have been more studied, communication technologies are also impacting younger students. Younger students primarily use technologies like PowerPoint, computers, smart boards, and projectors in the classroom in asynchronous ways by communicating with teachers through email. Both positive and negative impacts on student communication and motivation have been found. Teachers are also impacted as they integrate new technologies into lessons while maintaining standards. Studies show technology can positively influence student attitudes and learning if implemented properly. Overall, communication technologies are becoming more widely used with younger students as skills are needed for their future, but personal interaction remains important for young learners.

Information Technology in Education, effects of the continuing developments in information technology (IT) on education.
The pace of change brought about by new technologies has had a significant effect on the way people live, work, and play worldwide. New and emerging technologies challenge the traditional process of teaching and learning, and the way education is managed. Information technology, while an important area of study in its own right, is having a major impact across all curriculum areas. Easy worldwide communication provides instant access to a vast array of data, challenging assimilation and assessment skills. Rapid communication, plus increased access to IT in the home, at work, and in educational establishments, could mean that learning becomes a truly lifelong activity—an activity in which the pace of technological change forces constant evaluation of the learning process itself.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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

2. Personal Experience
I’ve used the following technologies in class when I was young:
– Powerpoint
– Computers
– Smartboard
– Projectors
– Television
I am studying young American students because I know that college
students have been studied more often. A reason that young
students may not have been studied as much is because they are
not as adapted to technology as much as older, college-aged
students.
3. Research Question
What is the impact of technology in the
communication of and between younger
students and teachers in the United States?
4. Why is CMC becoming increasingly popular in
schools?
“Medium is the Message” (Berge & Collins, 1995, n.p.)
• instructional technology and media changes ways of teaching
• i.e. Denison’s website- assists students
http://denison.edu/
Long distance collaboration is popular (Berge & Collins, 1995, n.p.)
• online courses and textbooks, Skype, email, electronic lectures (Berge
& Collins, 1995, n.p.)
Communication with global audience (Fishman, 1999, p. 73)
• students from all over can communicate through the Internet
In communicating with a global audience, the concept of mobile learning
emerges. According to Kharbach (n.d.), mobile learning happens
when students can access learning materials on their cell phones on the
go. This ability is key for students to be learning outside of the
classroom, as well as to be communicating with their teachers.
5. Reasons for Bringing Technology Into
Schools
Teachers are implementing adaptive learning, or the use of
technologies for students that adapt to their specific
needs, in classrooms of younger students, and these are
the reasons why…
1. Support thinking process
– Problem solving skills, complex concepts
2. Stimulate motivation/self-esteem
– in or out of class activities
– ability to aptly use technology
3. Promote equity
– unifies students, wide variety of technologies available
6. Reasons continued…
4. Prepare students for the future
– technology needed in workforce, experience and skills
5. Support changes in school structures
– technology may free up teacher instruction time
6. Explore technology capabilities
– new technology is intriguing (faster laptops, iPads, etc.)
Adaptive learning in schools is helping younger
students understand how to use technology for the
future.
7. In order to be a life-long learner, one must
have an understanding of technology and
how it works!
8. Impact of CMC on Students
“Educational technologists have likened the
impact of television and other electronic
ways of presenting information to the
impact of the printing press on learning”
(Berge & Collins, 1995, n.p.)
9. Impact continued…
• Interactive environment compared to pen and paper (Berge &
Collins, 1995, n.p.)
• Learning takes place at home and at school (Berge & Collins, 1995,
n.p.)
• Greater technology use more students familiar increased
desire to communicate through technology in school (Braak, 2001,
p. 42)
• Individual/collaborative learning opportunities (Siu Cheung, Tak-
Wai, Griffin, Ulrich… 2014, p. 70)
• Learning appears more attractive while using technology, motivates
students
Negative: May cause superficial discourse
(Eyyam & Yaratan, 2014, p. 303)
10. Impact continued…
• Online textbooks, educational websites, etc.
help students learn (Olmstead, 2013, p. 30)
• i.e. My Spanish online website:
http://www.vhlcentral.com/home
11. Synchronous vs. Asynchronous
Learning
• Synchronous- students and teachers online at the same
time
• Communication occurs at the same time (online lectures,
discussions, etc.)
• Asynchronous- information may be accessed at any time,
teachers can be accessed at any time through email
I argue that young students in the United States are
currently using asynchronous learning because
they can contact teachers online at any time
during the day. This is causing a positive impact
because it helps young students take control of
their communication with their teachers.
12. Study on Students Taking Math (Eyyam &
Yaratan, 2014, p. 34-39)
• Private school in Cyprus
• Seventh grade math students
• Pretest and posttest given
• Technology used: Powerpoint and laptops
Conclusion
• Positive influence on young students in Cyprus
• Students had positive attitudes about studying math
• Can translate to United States- Powerpoints and laptops
are used here too
13. Impact of CMC on Teachers
“Computers threaten the chalkboard”
(Berge & Collins, 1995, n.p)
• Teaching takes place at home and at school (work)
• Technology updates/development need to be
implemented in staff development (Olmstead, 2013, p.
37)
• The United States has an immense amount of
technology that can be used in classrooms, as long as
teachers decide that they want to!
14. Virtual Classrooms
• Virtual classrooms are online environments
where synchronous communication between
teachers and students takes place (Kharbach,
n.d.)
• Synchronous communication- easier for young
students to contact teachers immediately
• Young students do not use virtual classrooms
yet- mostly used in college settings
15. Study on Teachers
(Braak, 2001, p. 41-57)
• Comparing CMC and non CMC
users (800 teachers)
• Factors: demographics, computer
experience and attitudes,
innovativeness, perceived
medium attributes, observed
organizational constraints
Conclusion
• Language teachers used more
CMC
• CMC only used in supportive
tasks currently
16. Impact on Communication between
Students and Teachers
• Students can email teachers
– Constant communication (both students and teachers benefit)
• Teachers can update students on current class
developments
– Class website, email
• Closer connections between students and teachers
possible
• Can cause an interpersonal divide between
students and teachers (Bujega, 2005, p. 19)
• Communication via email lessens FTF
communication (Burnett & Marshall, 2003, p. 48)
17. Teacher and Student Online
Communication
I argue that Roger and Littlejohn present the best
communication model that correlates to
teacher and student interaction in and outside
of classrooms via technology…
18. Rogers and Littlejohn
Communication Categories
Interpersonal Group Organizational Mass
Sender One One One or more One, maintains
control
Receiver One Few, may take
turns
Large audience Mass audience
Channel FTF or
mediated
FTF or
mediated
FTF or
mediated
Mediated
Examples FTF, letters,
telephone,
email
Lecture,
discussion,
listserv, IRC
Corporate,
networks,
intranets
TV, radio,
books,
Webportals
(Burnett & Marshall, 2003, p. 49)
19. Analysis of Table
• Interpersonal- teachers use this to talk to one student
via email because there is one sender and one receiver
• Group- used mostly in virtual classrooms, but young
students do not really use virtual classrooms
Conclusion
Group communication takes place more so with older
students in virtual classrooms, but because I am
studying young American students, I think that
interpersonal communication online is better and takes
place more often though email mostly.
20. Conclusion
• Impact of technology on young
American students: +
• Impact of technology on
American teachers:
both + and -
• Impact of technology used to
communicate between students
and teachers: both + and -
Technology WILL be constantly
developing and it WILL be
used in classrooms of young
students because they need to
learn how to use technology
for the future.
21. Conclusion continued…
Educational technology has been studied for a long
time. Communication of and between teachers
and students has also been studied forever.
BUT…
My topic specifically referenced communication
technology’s impact on YOUNG AMERICAN
students and their teachers. I conclude that there
are both positive and negative impacts on young
students in the United States because face-to-face
communication is still important in schooling.
