( Find out more: http://wp.me/pTIwx-1pT ) The following presentation is from my PhD dissertation proposal hearing. It outlines my study which attempts to inform an understanding of this generation of traditionally aged college students and their relationship with digital and social technologies. Specifically, it aims to understand how college students navigate environments that are saturated by digital and social technologies and how these environments impact students’ psychological sense of self.

Nowadays the internet has gained paramount importance in the education arena. The main objective of the study is to identify the impacts of social networking sites (SNS) on growing up adolescent girls in KCC. To identify the nature of browsing the internet, to find out how social sites help to increase the knowledge level, to know the impact of using a social networking site. The study was conducted through a survey research design. For this study, purposive sampling was used. Samples were collected from the 13 to 18-year girls. The total sample size was 100. The average age of using the internet for the first time of the respondents was 17.71 years old. The study shows that teenagers were positively affected as social media helped in increasing their communication abilities, getting information, developing their technical skills, and how they can effectively use this recent technology.

Are Social Media Websites Harmful To The Youth?Evan Atkinson
This study was done to determine if social media websites negatively affect the youth of America. Many young people in the United States have accounts on social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace and studies have shown that these websites can have negative affects. With so many young people using these social media sites, studies on the negative affects should surely be done. After conducting a survey, and analyzing many secondary academic resources I determined that in fact the youth could be negatively affected by these social media websites. They are negatively affected in many different ways such as them being addictive, and distracting in an academic environment, but also can affect the youth negatively in several other ways. After coming to these conclusions, I am certain that more studies need to be done on this issue, so we can reverse some of the negative aspects of social media websites, and find a way to be able to use them in the best possible way.

Introduction
In basic terms, global citizenship can be termed as the critic idea of every individual into acquiring rights and civic roles that are associated with being an active participant as well as a member of the World. This can be in conjunction with the entire world philosophy and sensibilities that eliminates the citizen being just a member of a respective country or place. The general perception of being a global citizen is transcending a person’s identity in geographical and political borders. (Luis, 2010) Therefore, the rights and responsibilities of the global citizen are extracted from the membership in the respective broader class of humanity. The thesis of this discussion will exclusive be analyzing various aspects under the core subject of importance of becoming a global citizen. Such aspects may include preparing the globalization at crossroads which may exhibit other inner aspects such as klepto-capitalism and market liberation existing in various countries such as Russia, China, Thailand and Venezuela hence exhibiting their influx of economy and the waving curve of their economic stability since 20th century. This study will enhance us characterize the importance of global citizenship at a personal development as well as community development. (Reysen & Katzarska-Miller, 2013)
To start with, after a thorough review of the video clip on globalization at crossroads, an individual would be unable to speculate the comparison on globalism and globalization as they seem to be interrelating in the video watched. Nevertheless, there is a key difference between globalism and globalization. (Jacobs & Monfils, 2010) At a deeper analysis of the video clip and the prospective article, it can be vividly seen and concluded that globalism in the video and as well the article aim at discussing and describing exclusively a world that is based on the network of connections that span multi continental distances in a wider coverage. On the other hand, globalization attempts to describe the increase or decline in the extent of globalism in a world speculative as well as the multi continental distances. In a nutshell, globalism schedules causal rudimentary network whilst globalization seeks the energetic dwindling of distance on a bulky measure and in terms of economic growth. (Jacobs & Monfils, 2010)
After watching the video globalization and reading the article by the two authors, it is prevalent that there is need to be a global citizen since it has many benefits and advantages on the matters regarding the advanced technology in the world. This will as well link to their application to my personal, academic and professional goals that I am required to approach and fulfill in my life cycle. (Ja ...
In search of a better understanding of social presence: An investigation into...Patrick Lowenthal
Research on social presence and online learning continues to grow. But to date,
researchers continue to define and conceptualize social presence very
differently. For instance, at a basic level, some conceptualize social presence as
one of three presences within a Community of Inquiry, while others do not.
Given this problem, we analyzed how researchers in highly cited social
presence research defined social presence in an effort to better understand how
they are defining social presence and how this might be changing over time. In
this article, we report the results of our inquiry and conclude with implications
for future research and practice.

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.

13. The following study attempts to inform an
understanding of this generation and their relationship
with digital and social technologies. Specifically, it
aims to understand how college students navigate
environments that are saturated by digital and social
technologies and how these environments impact
students’ psychological sense of self.

15. Question Research
How do college students
construct concepts of “self”
in social media-saturated
and hybridized contexts?
16. this research assumes a
youth-normative
perspective
“attempts to understand
young people's experiences
through their viewpoint”

18. “Many student affairs professionals use
the term digital identity development to
refer to online professional self-presentation;
however, it is important to
tease apart the differences between
using social media as part of the
exploration and development of identity
and using social media to present
oneself in a certain way. Labeling the
latter digital identity development
confounds a developmental process
with a professional communication
strategy. Furthermore, labeling online
professional self-presentation digital
identity development may keep the field
of student affairs from more critically
and deeply examining how the
emerging adult identity development
process is affected by online
interactions.”
(Junco, 2014, p. 257)
19. “At one time it seemed to refer to
a conscious sense of individual
uniqueness, at another to an
unconscious striving for a
continuity of experience, and at
a third, as a solidarity with a
group’s ideals.”
- Erikson
(Erikson, 1968, p. 208)
On identity…
20. “In examining components of
identity, we also need to consider
the concept of self…
Who or what is the self
that observes, learns and
decides? If the self is an
integrated system, who is
in charge of coordinating
it? Who organizes the
facets of personality into
an integrated whole.”
- Chickering & Reisser
(Chickering & Reisser, 1993, p. 201)
21. The term “self” refers to one’s
sense of being.
One’s “sense of self” is the
conscious experience of one’s
internal life.
One’s “construction of self” is
how one comes to consciously
understand this sense of being.
The term “identity” is the
actualization of this self.
22. “Identity” is what one is and
carries with it a series of
properties. Although “identity”
and “self” have been conflated
in discourse, they are
understood here to be separate
but related. “Self” is subject
to “identity” as object. From
one’s sense of self flows one’s
identity (and potentially
identities).
24. literature
‣ Fragmented
‣ Nascent and growing
‣ Can suffer from being quickly “out of date”
‣ Largely quantitative, outcomes-focused
‣ Theories and frames:
‣ (Co)Constructivsm
‣ Connectivism
‣ Critical Theory and Literacy
‣ Makes distinctions between formal and
informal learning
28. participant
recruitment
College students 18-24 years old
‣ Completing/completed coursework in social media
(half)
‣ Identified by college staff has heavy/sophisticated users (half)
heavy/sophisticated usage gauged by
pre-interview questionnaire.
15-25 participants.. but determined by data exhaustion
Student Profile
‣ From a highly selective research university on a residential
campus near a major metropolitan area in the Northeast
‣ Likely undergraduate juniors or seniors
29. Pre-interview Questionnaire
‣ Establish usage patterns of participant
Semistructured Interview (First Session, 1 hour)
‣ Probe how students understand self
‣ Examine how sense is made of online/offline life
Synchronous Ethnographic Tour * (Second Session, 1 hour)
‣ Observe how students interact online
‣ How is identity constructed/understood
Follow-up as necessary—dictated by data
data collection
*
