Kimberly began the technology course feeling overwhelmed by the variety of tools available but learned about their educational benefits. She was introduced to blogging, podcasting, wikis and other resources and saw opportunities to incorporate them in her future role as a school administrator, such as using a wiki to gather stakeholder input. Though initially fearful, she gained confidence through practice and understands the importance of modeling technology use and supporting staff development. Blogging in particular can facilitate collaboration and student publishing, though also requires addressing safety and responsibility concerns. Kimberly now recognizes the need to advocate for technology to meet student needs and support professional growth.

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.
1. Kimberly Brown Barnette Technology Final Reflection I would have to describe myself as a technology “newbie” when it comes to all the new and varied forms of technology that can be applied to education. I began this course thinking that it would broaden my knowledge base of how to use computers in the classroom and how students can benefit from using different forms of software in daily lessons. I had no idea of all the ways technology can be used in a classroom with students to reach higher level thinking skills. As I was introduced through articles to blogging, RSS, podcasting, PowerPoint presentations, Wikipedia, project-based instruction, wireless internet access, e-communications, document management tools, and cyber-surfing, I became very aware that the past decade has brought education many technological tools to improve teaching and learning. In the beginning of this course I could relate to the overwhelming feeling that Warlick describes as the nature of information has become increasingly digital and networked (2007). As the course progressed and I was exposed to technology resources and was able to experiment with several of these new tools, I found myself thinking of all the ways I could incorporate these tools into my future position as a leader of a school. One of the most important areas I see myself using technology is in communicating with the stakeholders in my district. One method I see that could be very beneficial is the Wikipedia tool. It allows input from anyone with knowledge on a particular subject to read, comment, or even edit the information. The ability to include ideas from an entire range of school personnel and community stakeholders can be achieved just by asking for input through a Wiki. The great part about this tool is that it can be seen from anyone within a community or as far away as across the country. I learned that I should not be scared of technology and its use in my role as a future administrator. I need to be sure I have a good support by hiring staff who are intelligent about technology and have a desire to learn more about it and share their knowledge with others. I try to model all behaviors and attitudes in every aspect of my position that I want my staff to exhibit. This ultimately means I will need to model technology and use it in my daily duties as their leader. One of the things I look forward to is the instant communication and feedback I can receive through the use of texting and emails from myself to each staff member. I believe my fear of technology results from my ignorance of it. I feel that this course has relieved a lot of this fear. I do have to admit I spent about 4 hours trying to post a word document into my blog on Sunday night and I was so discouraged and distraught I nearly gave up. I was unable to find the “blog this” button and continued to follow the steps over and over with no success. The following morning, I sat down again, still discouraged and noticed a simple statement that reminded me to check the zoom level. As I clicked this zoom button I suddenly saw the words I had been searching for….blog this! I jumped for joy, ran to share the good news with my family, and reveled in my success. I hope to have many more moments like this with technology. In one of our readings, Richardson refers to blogging as a “revolution”. Merriman-Webster defines revolution as an activity or movement designed to effect fundamental change (2009). I see blogging as exactly that, an activity designed to effect fundamental changes in education and the way we create, publish, and share content. Through blogging we are creating a richer, more dynamic, more interactive Web where participation is the rule rather than the exception (Richardson, 2005). The 21st century learner can “blog” even if they have a minimum of technology know-how (Richardson, 2004). Blogs can be used to communicate with students and parents, allow students to publish work, and collaborate with all stakeholders of a school community. One fact that I learned in this course and it astounded me was the statistic of more than 900,000 blog posts are made each day and a new blog is created every second (Richardson, 2005). Blogging by students in the education setting does bring about concern in several areas. One of these areas is the ability for students to access inappropriate sites and be exposed to provocative pictures or inappropriate content. Many districts have placed blocks to these sites but for some districts the blocking actually interferes with some educational projects that become blocked and are not harmful to the students. A second concern is that blogs can allow personal information to be shared over the internet and this information can fall in the hands of predators. Richardson recommends protecting our students with thoughtful teaching and clear policy (2005). We need to be sure and teach our students strategies for how to stay safe and be responsible in their use of technology. My learning outcomes of this course have included an introduction to the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology and the use of the STaR Chart for identifying the technology needs of a teacher and a campus. I am able to recognize the needs of digital-age students and support my staff in acquiring strategies and tools to meet their needs. Through various articles I can identify social, legal, and ethical issues relating to technology and teaching and learning. Most importantly I learned through this course that it will be my responsibility to promote the success of all of the students on my campus by advocating, nurturing, and sustaining a campus culture and instructional program conducive to student learning and professional growth.
