The document discusses the Global Education Conference, an annual online event that brings together educators from around the world to share ideas and collaborate. It is founded on the principle of "professional generosity," which involves freely sharing knowledge and supporting fellow educators. Over the years, the conference has grown to include thousands of members from over 160 countries who participate in live presentations, discussions, and networking opportunities with the goal of promoting global competency and education for all.

Building Community in Online, Blended, and Face-to-Face Environmentskpritcha
Given at SIM University Faculty Learning Day (July 25 - 28, 2012)
Online courses, blended courses, and even traditional large classroom-based courses are often equated with anonymity and distance, among student colleagues and between students and faculty. However, the appropriate use of social media and communication tools can foster the creation of a thriving classroom community. This, in turn, can encourage more meaningful online dialog and group problem solving.

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. –David Potter (iEARN)
“…the Global Education Conference community is organized around
people rather than tech or content. Although happiness is definitely part
of the community, the better description might be that the community is
focused on ‘optimizing for professional generosity’.
Professional generosity drives Twitter chats, from #edchat to #kinderchat,
as well as community like Steve’s Classroom 2.0, Edmodo, and most
online educator communities. It acts as the antithesis of the outcompete-
the-world, zero-sum message US educational system promotes at all
levels. Steve and Lucy have a bootstrapped community built for an
‘infinite runway’ for teaching and learning, rather than quick success or
quick failure. Although it may not seem like a community that will garner
much attention from super angels, Lucy and Steve’s 365/24/7 “anytime,
anywhere” global teaching and learning community is the right model—
scalable, sustainable, impactful, and with a killer ROI, if you want to wait a
generation to measure it.”

“Every single moment for me has been magical.
It is almost impossible to pick one. The
presenters have all been wonderful, but it is the
discussions from the participants that make each
session exciting as people bring their different
view points to the presentation, offer additional
insights and information to the discussion and
arrange to meet up (online) and collaborate
together. It is the personal global interaction and
connections that make me stay awake all night
(sometimes) or has me wake up at a crazy hour
in the morning to connect with an educator from
the other side of the world. “
48. –Donna Adams Román
“What would happen if all teachers and
educational leaders demonstrated Professional
Generosity? What if all school districts did? What
if all organizations and industries did? I wonder
where the tipping point would be…in my own
school, in my district, in my state, in my
profession, in my country…in our world. We have
the technology. We have the trailblazers. We
have living, breathing examples out there doing
it. I can easily do my part. All it takes is a little
Professional Generosity intention on the out-
breath.”
