Hace años se viene anunciando una crisis de la lectura. La gente ya no lee las obras fundamentales de la cultura, o acude a los libros sólo por razones utilitarias, no para alimentar el espíritu. Los estudiantes encuentran grandes dificultades para comprender lo que leen. Los índices lectores están bajando. La televisión y el video están apartando a niños, jóvenes y adultos de la lectura. Y como si fuera poco, los juegos electrónicos, los programas multimedia y la internet van a significar, ¡ahora sí!, la muerte del libro y de la lectura. (1) Por otra parte, todos los esfuerzos que hacemos por conquistar nuevos lectores o para salvar las almas de los que ya lo eran y están en peligro de perecer, parecen haber sido infructuosos.
Tengo la impresión de que cuando hablamos de “crisis de la lectura” es para significar que la lectura se encuentra en vías de extinción o al menos en peligro. El vocablo “crisis” tiene aquí un sentido apocalíptico: algo está desapareciendo para ser reemplazado por otra cosa.
El Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, da ésta como una de las acepciones de la palabra crisis: mutación considerable que acaece en una enfermedad, ya sea para mejorarse, ya sea para agravarse el enfermo. Puesto que casi siempre hablamos de crisis en este segundo sentido, quisiera explorar la otra cara del problema. Me propongo examinar la crisis de la lectura con la mirada del que cree que la lectura podría salir bien librada de esta enfermedad. Más aún, aunque esto suene muy atrevido, pensar que la lectura podría incluso terminar enriqueciéndose.
La literatura que se hace actualmente para los jóvenes inquieta
y perturba, pero no porque sus temas resulten contestatarios, peligrosos
o inmorales para su formación, sino porque se ha convertido en una
fórmula que ni cuestiona la realidad, ni hace justicia al arte literario. Aquí
se analizan, desde diversos ángulos, los problemas de la literatura juvenil.
Social media and social networks have become vital sources for prospecting, lead generation, client engagement and service support. In fact, a recent study of over 500 B2B professionals found that 72.6% of sales professionals that use social media outperformed their peers that don’t.
In addition to social media literacy and insights, today’s sales organizations need a bullet-proof sales process and strategy as well. The line between sales and marketing as well as customer and vendor has become blurred. Today’s sales and marketing process is collaborative and customer centric.
At this lunch and learn, guest speaker Shane Gibson, Sales Trainer for Build Direct will share:
The Rules of Engagement in social media for sales professionals
How your social graph impacts your ability to close deals and generate leads.
How to maximize your social media profiles so they attract clients.
How becoming an expert content curator can build credibility and influence.
How to use tools like Hootsuite and Nimble social CRM to pull all of your social networking together and make it easy and profitable to manage.

SAILing Takes You to Where Your Course Ought to Be - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Kelly Hinson and Angie Rudd, Gaston College
Strengthening Academic Internet Learning (SAIL) is Gaston College's online quality enhancement project (QEP). This initiative has been in place for 4 years, and places an increased effort on online course quality and a comprehensive online student support system to improve student learning in online courses. The SAIL initiative is an ongoing adaptive environment. In this session, Angie and Kelly will share the changes that have been made in the past year and why, along with the student feedback that promoted the direction of this initiative, and the reasoning behind the project and the standards put in place. Further goals for this session include: presenting a student perspective of the online environment, demonstrating the layout of our online courses in the Blackboard environment, and showing the current statistics of how these standards have improved student learning outcomes. Presenters Angie Rudd and Kelly Hinson have worked with the SAIL initiative since it was opened to instructors. Kelly has spent the summer redoing three courses using the updated SAIL standards. She and Angie work closely with the SAIL team to keep their courses at the highest standards. Both instructors are involved in online standards committees. In a lecture-based co-presentation, these two Gaston College instructors will show attendees how these SAIL standards are used to improve their online course quality. Examples will be presented from Introduction to Computers, Emerging Technologies and Management Information Systems courses. The main emphasis will be in the Introduction to Computers course. Statistics will be used to show the increase in student learning outcomes from the SAIL initiative. Attendees will take away the updated online course requirements for the QEP along with an understanding of what makes a great online course for students.
This presentation was created for the 2015 Ohio QM Consortium Members' Meeting. It describes how QM's Standard 3 aligns with the use of ePortfolios for assessment and measurement. Note that the pictures are hyperlinked to the examples.
Designing Exemplary Online Courses in BlackboardJason Rhode
During this presentation by Jason Rhode at the 12th annual SLATE Conference on 10/23/14, we explored suggested best practices included in the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program Rubric for designing engaging online courses. Jason shared practical tips from his experience building a course in Blackboard that meets the established ECP quality benchmarks. We also covered the steps and associated deadlines for faculty interested in submitting their course for consideration as a Blackboard Exemplary Course. This session was geared toward an audience already familiar with the basic online teaching tools available in Blackboard Learn. While the examples shared were specifically of courses in Blackboard, the principles can be applied to developing quality online courses in any learning management system.

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.
