Social media used in school libraries has become an essential tool that library practitioners increasingly use. These powerful online publications can help connect students, teachers, parents and the community to events that take place within the library. Social media is not only a promotional tool, but a means of engaging stakeholders and forging new partnerships. Join school librarian K.C. Boyd as she shares ways that librarians can use social media for branding, digital outreach, and instruction.
A presentation I gave to the STEM Club at Marymount University talking about my engineering background and how it helped my career as I shifted into business, law, and economics.

Using Twitter and PLNs teach students to conceptualize, think, and write in 140 characters. Formatively assess students and reteach them to customize learning and ensure competence. This session will use tech tools to implement Common Core Standards, thereby meeting the "deliberate, fewer, clearer and higher" articulated skill set students need.

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.

When you think of the librarian you probably conjure up images of old ladies with buns, bifocals and pursed lips shushing everyone that dares enter. This image no longer applies.
Our mission focuses on two topics: teaching information literacy and promoting reading. We do have books, but we also offer multimedia resources like DVDs, CDs, and audiobooks, online databases, and hardware like Flip cameras, Senteo clickers, e-readers, document cameras and more depending on the school.
Keith Curry Lance, an educational researcher who has conducted studies in 8 states found that students at schools with good libraries consistently scored from 10 to 20 percent higher on reading and other achievement tests REGARDLESS of the economic and educational levels of the community.
The reason I wanted to be here today was to let you know the many ways that your librarians can help you during your first year and beyond. We WANT to collaborate with you. Librarians have a set of standards we are responsible for teaching. When we can tie them in with your curriculum standards it is more meaningful to the students.We can provide you with magazines, online articles, books, professional journals, pathfinders, and online databases that support the topics you teach. We have professional resources like journals, magazines and books about education.We have online and print resources for parents to use.We can help you plan and implement projects that involve technology. We can assist with getting the tools as well as helping you and your students use them.
Let us know what you are covering or update your website so that we can tie in our lessons and displays to correspond with your standardsIf you have a big project planned let us know as early as possible. We may need to order more books or we can pull the books and be ready for the students to hit the ground running.If we plan a big reading event or book fair or any program be positive and provide your moral support. Students follow your lead.As you plan keep us in mind so that we can assist your instruction as much as possible.
