Technology can positively impact student achievement in several ways:
1) It increases students' higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills through applications designed for specific content areas.
2) It provides more opportunities for student-centered instruction rather than teacher-centered.
3) It enhances the cognitive growth of both students and teachers when used as educational tools.

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.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Editor's Notes
Introduction HI, my name is Jen Kava and I am a teacher with West Fargo Public Schools. I am so please to have the opportunity to discuss technology and student achievement with you tonight. Throughout this presentation I will be share with you a wide array of data that will demonstrate to you that the investments you are making in educational technology is having a profound effect on student achievement. Are there any questions before we get started?
Introduction I want to begin by highlighting the impact of technology on student achievement by identifying how the use of technology: increases student’s high-order thinking and problem solving skills increases the opportunity for student-centered instruction increases the cognitive growth for both staff and students increases workforce preparation gives students multiple chances to learn “from” media and “with” media These are the main components I will be addressing though out tonight’s presentation.
In the article, How Does Technology Influence Student Learning. Learning and Leading with Technology Cradler (2002) states, “Some technology applications are designed for use in specific content areas. Educators have also found valuable thinking tools among the technology applications available for educational purposes.” Where computers are used for simulation and applications to promote high-order thinking skills, students performed much better on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The center for Applied Special Technology found that students that used the Internet to research, share information and complete projects became better independent and critical thinkers.
In the article, Integrating technology into the classroom: How does it impact student achievement , it states, “The use of technology can serve as a catalyst for helping teachers understand individual learning styles of the children they teach” (Harvey-Woodall 2009). Teachers are able to provide more adequate means of student-centered instruction. “ Trends in the classroom have gone from overhead projectors to innovative programs” (Harvey-Woodall 2009) Examples of tools that are currently being used in West Fargo are: Powerpoints SMART boards Student Response Systems (Swan 2007) Teachers are able to individualize accordingly for each student’s developmental needs. If a student has a fine motor impairment they are able to use an adaptive mouse for their computer programs. If a student is identified as hearing impaired they will have access to a Redcat sound field to support that modification.
Harvey-Woodall(2009) also articulates, “Teachers must be aware of how technology connects with pedagogy and the content of the curriculum” This is an essential part of allowing teachers to utilize technology in the classroom . Teachers receiving professional development other than just in computer skills will incorporate technology applications in their instructional practices. (Harvey-Woodall 2009) Professional development for teachers must be demonstrated in a student-centered way in order for teachers to utilize technology that way in their classrooms. Examples include: Multimedia software Kidspriration, KidPix (Brabec 2004)
By incorporating and utilizing technology in the classroom cognitive growth in both staff and students is increased . Teachers will be Improving Instructional Strategies with technology implementation as well as becoming more familiar with technology applications. Brabec (2004) suggests, “A single technology application or process will help address a number of different instructional strategies.” Word processing allows learners to learn the strategy of summarizing, analogies, peer editing and dialogue, and organizational strategies. Web resources encourage students in working cooperatively, create their own rubrics, generating and test hypotheses. Organizing and Brainstorming Software creates graphic organizers for identifying similarities and differences and summarizing.
“ Research shows that when students learn to use and apply applications used in the world of work, such as word processors, spreadsheets, computer-aided drawing, Web site development programs and the Internet, they acquire some of the prerequisites skills for workforce preparedness” (Cradler 2002). Students that have the opportunity to participate in Tech Prep and career academics are able to integrate that knowledge with their core subject knowledge and identify how to conduct themselves in a workplace environment.
Dr. Reeves (1998) states, “Learning “from” media and technology is often referred to in terms such as instructional televisions, computer-based instruction, or integrated learning systems.” “ Television and computer are the two primary technologies used in the “from” approach” (Reeves, 1998). “ Most studies show that there are no significant differences in effectiveness between live teacher presentations and videos of teacher presentations” (Reeves, 1998). Dr. Reeves also states, “Learning “with” technology is referred to in terms such as cognitive tools and constructivist learning environments.” “ Cognitive tools can be used to support the deep reflective thinking that is necessary for meaningful learning.” Cognitive tools include databases, spreadsheets, and communication software, multimedia/hypermedia and computer programs.
In conclusion, I hope I have adequately shared research and data that will confirm the positive impact and growth opportunities that the Learners in the West Fargo Public Schools are receiving because of technology. Technology increases student’s high-order thinking and problem solving skills. Technology increases the opportunity for student-centered instruction. Technology increases the cognitive growth for both staff and students. Technology increases workforce preparation. Technology gives students multiple chances to learn “from” media and “with” media. Does anyone have any questions? Thank you so much for the fabulous opportunity to present to such an invested School Board.
