Goal / Purpose
To equip teachers to digitally empower diverse learners to connect, communicate and collaborate by creating a rich environment indulging technology in the classroom to help them evolve.
To facilitate learning in a more impactful manner by integrating technology to help make the world a smaller place with interaction beyond the classroom and classmate to virtual trips and multi-region and multi-nation interactivity to commence projects and work.
Methodology
Bridging the range of project-based learning opportunities within “phenomenon-based” curriculum redesign, relevant and meaningful to students and their communities by:-
- giving flexibility to redesign student centered learning in a more flexible K-12 education and aligning to the system to set high expectations and close achievement gaps.

Here's your first look at this substantial new feature to Google Drive.
Google Classroom - Set Up and Tips for TeachersJohn Sowash
For the first time, Google has designed a product for a specific industry. Fortunately for educators, that product is for them! Google Classroom is a brand new tool designed to help ease the burden of sharing and receiving assignments from students.
The excitement surrounding classroom has reached a fever pitch; teachers are ecstatic and can't wait to get their hands on classroom. The excitement may be contributing to inflated expectations, however. Classroom is not a complete classroom solution; it must be used alongside perennial favorites such as Edmodo, Hapara Teacher Dashboard, Moodle, etc.
Don't have access, but eager to see what classroom has to offer? Check out this sneak peak of Google Classroom including instructions on how to setup and manage your first class!

#ForOurFuture18 UL System Conference Presentation: Online Learning - Current ...Luke Dowden
Two veterans of online learning will share their thoughts on the current state and the future of online learning. Chief online
learning officers face ongoing challenges growing, sustaining, and innovating online programs. Now that online learning
has entered the mainstream, what is its future? What fads will fade? What trends will be sustained? The audience will be
engaged throughout the presentation with opportunities to discuss the impact online learning has on technological
infrastructure, faculty support, course design, quality assurance / quality control, organizational structures, funding and
grants, and research. By sharing their experiences and insights into the current challenges and future state of online
learning, the presenters will discuss strategic and operational approaches to navigate current and future realities of online
learning. Credit to Dr. Darlene Williams for content on Future Opportunities and Context.

THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION
We are observing “a revolution in education.” We know that improving technology play a distinctive role in the evolution, and traditional foundations will face challenges in the future.
In my presentation, I discuss some initial findings on the future of the 21st-century education.
As a passionate teacher, I am interested how do I best educate my students?
It is not about what I teach, but about how I teach them.
According to the recent literature, on the subject, today’s education is behind new requirements and technologies.
There is a vibrant debate about preparing teachers to use new techniques as well as how up-to-date educators might become more “future-oriented” and familiar with new skills.
I am interested in discussing these thoughts with others.
Certainly, we should take into account the wide-ranging nature of education, which is especially significant, in developing countries.
I do not try to search for a universal remedy of worldwide education. It would be unrealistic.
It is certain that the future education will become more technologically driven, and will function in an environment where success depends on the use of new technology, development and improvements.
It is important to underline that from my perspective; new technology is not going to substitute students in a classroom.
More than that, it will neither replace the social life, nor the transformational experience of progress learners whereby they will go through as part of their study.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

2. THINK
DIFFERENTLY
“I would say it’s essential to create a culture of
innovation in the school. Accept that there will
be many successes and some failures, those
failures will drive even more success. Have a
solid plan in place that involves all constituents
in the process, and ensure the plan has clearly
defined outcomes. From a nuts and bolts
standpoint I would say ensure the infrastructure
is where it needs to be. If teachers do not trust
the technology, it will not be used.”

Approximately 82% are only moderately comfortable
or very uncomfortable with integrating technology.
82. Facebook Debate:
“I am really concerned that our kids will be drawn into those critical
attributes in FaceBook that are not related to the classroom topics.
Our kids lack that personal self-discipline.”
“Our responsibility is to teach our students proper etiquette and
prepare them for their careers. Social media isn't going anywhere.
We need to teach not limit.”
“Facebook is one of the ways our students communicate. There is so
much to be taught and supported- how to write appropriately, how
what you write is there forever, and how to manage emotions, at an
already emotional time, when consuming posts.
When we "lock it out" because colleagues don't want to police it or
develop lessons on appropriate use, it doesn't help us help our
students.”
83. Leaders who Blog:
“Our school and classroom blogs serve as a communication platform
and digital portfolio. My personal blog links media, technology and
current events. My school blog chronicles school and school board
technology happenings.”
“My blog shares ways to integrate technology as well as my
leadership thoughts and ideas. I share my blog with our teachers
and administrators. Often teachers will ask me questions about a
tool or a way to do something with digital resources, and if I've
written about it already or compiled resources I simply link them to
my blog post or wiki resource page. Having a blog and wiki saves me
time in the long run and helps me organize what I have already
researched and wrote about.”
84. Impact on School Culture
“Expanded the classroom walls of learning. Students see technology
access as more than just gossiping on Facebook or Twitter; they are
beginning to see the more practical uses of social media for
learning.”
“It has helped us create a student centred school that allows
students to have choice and influence in their learning. It has helped
us create real and powerful learning experiences and connected our
kids with people all over the world.”
Almost every teacher has an iPad and we have made it apart of
every staff meeting. We are steadily moving towards using some
form of technology in every classroom and building a school
structure to promote tech in the classroom.
85. Impact on School Culture
We have gone from desktop, stand alones to iPads and 1:1 in just 1.5
years. Attendance is up 15%. Discipline incidents are down.
Graduation rate has increased. Parental involvement has increased.
Student pride and engagement is up. Instruction and academic
engagement is up.
The biggest impact has been with teaching students to be cognizant
of their digital footprint. This group of students has always known
technology; few have other means to communicate. Using Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter inappropriately have had negative
consequences on some students (bullying, difficulty securing
employment, questions from college admissions).
Integrating a viable online blog in ELA courses has helped students
self correct, monitor others' writings, and learn quickly from past
mistakes.

94. “Leaders can connect an entire learning community from student,
parent, community, teacher, other leaders if they have the right skill set
and tools. Leaders can block or allow innovation for themselves and
others. Budget cuts are everywhere. Tech support is down putting more
responsibility on building principals. Even more so when sole building
administrator. Tech savvy amplifies school based efforts in many forms
- instructional, managerial, PD, secretarial, outreach, personal learning
networks, and on and on. Tech savvy helps leaders suck the best
resources from daily, local and national conferences via backchannel.
Tech savvy is a mindset our kids already have. We must do our best to
see through their lens each day. IMO (in my opinion) Tech savvy leaders
tend to trust students and teacher more. We need more trust in
schools.”
