I used a variety of technologies throughout my music video project, with different ones being useful at different stages. During research, I relied heavily on online tools like Blogger, Google, and YouTube to organize my work, find information, and access music videos. I also used the iMac computer in class to have multiple resources open simultaneously while analyzing videos. In planning and construction, I used software like Google Docs, Final Cut, and Microsoft Word. I filmed footage with a camera and edited it using Final Cut. Now in evaluation, I am using podcasting to present my reflections and Google Docs to create an effective evaluation.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

Question 4 - Evaluation
1. Thisis questionfourof the evaluationstage inmymusicvideoprojectandis‘How didyou use media
technologiesinthe construction,research,planningandevaluationstagesof yourproject?’. Iuseda
varietyof differenttechnologiesthroughoutthe course of myprojectand differenttechnologiesand
software came inhandierat differentstages.
Researchwaspossiblyone of the biggeststagesof myprojectintermsof software andtechnology
used.AlthoughIdiduse more software thanI didhardware. One of the maintechnologiesIused
was Blogger,withoutbloggerIwouldn’thave beenable topostanyof mywork or progress. One of
the advantagesof Bloggeristhat it isaccessible anywhere,forexample,there isaBloggerappwhich
I downloadedforfree onmyphone andsimplyloggedintomyGoogle AccountwheneverIneeded
to checkor quicklyupdate myblog.Also,itisveryeasytonavigate andcan be modifiedtosuityour
needssuchas backroundcolours,labels,archive andnavigationtabs.Thishelpedalotintermsof
beingable toorganise myworkproperlyanddistinguishwhatstage of the projectthe workwas
fromand whetheritwasmine or Molly’s.The onlydisadvantageIfoundwithBloggerwasthatit did
not alwaysembedlinksfromall of the software Iused,one exampleof thisisGlogster,andittook
me numerousattemptstobe able to modifymyGlogsterpage sothat it wouldfitinthe blogspace,
evenwhenIhad the measurementsof myGlogsterpage correct,it still didnotloadproperlyon the
blog,soI hadto keeprepostingituntil itdid.ThisalsohappenedwithaPowtoonpresentation
althoughthishasbeenfixednow.One vital piece of hardware Iusedwasthe iMac, I usedthisnearly
everylessonandwasveryuseful asitwasable to access everythingIneededtomake progressinmy
project.One mainadvantage of usingthe iMac was that itallowedme tohave lotsof differenttabs
openat the same time whichmeantI didn’thave tokeepclosingandre-openingtabstoview at
differenttimes.Thiscame inparticularlyhandywhenitcame toanalysingmusicvideosasIwas able
to have Word and YouTube opensothat I couldwatch the videoandmake notesat the same time.
Also,Icouldhave the videoopentotake screengrabswhenIwasputting the analysistogetheron
Powerpointorsimilarsoftware. The disadvantagestousingthe iMacwas that I normallyuse a
WindowsLaptopso neededtogetusedtonavigatingaroundthe iMac software whichsometimes
got complicated.Also,Iwasn’table tosave workon the iMac and transportit withme home to
continue withthere.Asitwasa desktopcomputerIhad to leave itsavedonthere andfinishthe
workin myspare time ormy nextlesson.Anotherveryhelpful technologywasGoogle whenitcame
to the researchingstage.Thiswasparticularlyusefulasitallowedme tolookupanythingI needed
to findoutthat I didn’tknow,forexample,duringmymusicvideoanalysisitallowedme tofindout
release dates,receptionandawardsforvideosIanalysed.One of the timesthissoftwarewasmost
useful waswhenIdidmy ‘Historyof Music Videos’research.One advantage of Google isthatthere
isno endto its knowledge andisquick,simpleandeasytouse.One simple searchcancome up with
over900 millionresultstochoose from. A disadvantage tothisisthatit isdifficulttobe able totell
whatsourcesare reliable andwhatare givingfalse information.YouTube isone of the biggestuses
of technologyinmyresearchstage,asthisisa musicvideoproject Ineededtobe able toaccess
musicvideoswheneverIusedthe iMac, itwas alsohelpful infindingpaststudentexamples,
includingexamplesfromdifferentschoolsanditwasinterestingtosee whatotherA Level students
had createdall thanksto YouTube.One of the advantagesof YouTube isthat I couldview andpost
my ownvideosandgetfeedbackfromiteasilythroughthe use of the commentsbarand like/dislike
buttons.Itwas alsohelpful asitgave me access to all the musicvideosIwantedtoanalyse.The only
disadvantage Ifoundwasthat eventhoughmanyartistsdohave official videostotheirmusicvideos,
I couldnot alwaysfindthem,forexamplethe ‘SmackmyBitchUp’ took me a while tofinditas it was
2. blockedorremovedfromthe site a lot of timesfor beingsocontroversial. Vevoseemedtobe the
mostreliable accounttouse because itwas verifiedbythe artistandwas official.
Whenit came to presentationsoftware,Iusedawide range of technologiesandfoundsome more
useful thanothers.One of the typesof software IusedwasPowerpoint,Iusedthisona numberof
occasionsas thiswasprobablythe easiestsoftware touse outof all of themas I have beenusingit
for yearsand knewexactlyhowtonavigate itandworkit. One advantage tothiswas that itwas
reallyeasytoembedontomyblogand I was able toput inlots of transitionsandcliparts to make it
more creative.The onlydisadvantage IfoundwasthatwhenIuploadedanypresentationto
slideshare,andthenuploadedtothe blog,itchangedall the fontsIhad usedto somethingmore
basicand didnot supportthe transitionsor animationsIwantedtobe shown.Anotherpiece of
software Iusedon numerousoccasionswasPrezzi,Ihave lovedPrezzithisyearanduseditwhen
doingmyRepresentationinMusicVideos,AnalysingStudentExamplesandAnalysingMusicVideos.I
reallylike Prezziasitis verydifferenttoPowerpointandisfarmore interactive asitallowsyouto

advantage of Prezzi washowquickand easyit wasto get the hangof, andalso how funit wasto
workwithand create.I didn’treallyfindanydisadvantagestothissoftware otherthanhow longit
tookto load onthe blogsometimes,otherthanthatI foundthissoftware veryuseful.
In the planningstage Ididn’tuse manytechnologiesthatwere differenttothe researchstage,Iused
manyof the same.The onlydifferentonesIusedwere Google DocsandMicrosoftWord. I found
Google Docs reallyhelpful whencreatingmystoryboardastheyalreadyhadtemplatesavailableto
use for thistask.Thiswas an advantage as itmeantthat I couldveryeasilydownloadthe template
and change it to suitmyneeds,forexample,put inthe picturesandshotsI wantedtouse.Microsoft
Word came inhandyto do myshot listsasit was simple andeasytouse and I alreadyknew exactly
howto use it. The onlythingwasit seemedtoosimple andwasnota veryadvancedchoice of
technology.
Movingonto the constructionof the product,Final Cutplayedpossiblythe biggestpartinthisstage.
Thiswas usedto editandmodifythe footage thatwe hadfilmedforourvideo.One advantage of
FinalCutisthatit allowsyoutodo almostanythingto the footage that youhave filmed,youcanadd
colour,draincolour,add transitions,andmuchmore.There wasnot one thingwe wantedtoadd to
the footage that we couldn’tdousingFinalCut.The onlydisadvantage toFinalCutisthatitisquite an
advancedpiece of technologyandsotakesa longtime toget the hang of,althoughthiswasmade
easierthroughthe use of YouTube tutorials.The mostvital piece of hardware usedwasthe camera,
withoutthe camerawe wouldnothave a video.Ireallyenjoyedfilmingasplayingaroundwith
camera shotsand angles.Anadvantage tothe use of the camera wasthat it wasveryeasyto get
footage andchange the angle of the camera to getthe shots we wanted.The onlydisadvantagewas
that our camerahad quite a lowbatterylife andstorage systemsoitkeptdying!
In myevaluationstagesIhave usedmanyof the same as inmy otherstages,apart frommy use of
podcasting.Iam usingpodcastingtopresentthisquestionandthishasmanyadvantagesasit allows
