#TechCampMumbai: How can we use online communities to bridge knowledge gaps &...Josephine Dorado
During #TechCampMumbai, the workgroup which Neil D'souza, Bridget Roddy and I (Josephine Dorado) led, tackled the question: How can we use online communities to bridge knowledge gaps & provide volunteer opportunities? Using the Indian NGO Kranti as a case study, we created actions steps and a framework for curricula. TechCamp Mumbai 2013 was held on 19-21 February 2013 in Mumbai, India. http://techcampmumbai.org/
TechCamp is a program under the U.S. State Department’s Civil Society 2.0 initiative that connects civil society organizations (CSOs) across the globe with new and emerging technology resources to solve real world challenges and build digital capacity.
Teaching With Technology No Longer Belongs in a LabJane Ross
This presentation is for the ANPS Teachers Conference in Jakarta on the 16th October, 2010. It will focus on how the computer teacher needs to change their role from teaching computers as a stand-alone subject to becoming an Integrator and assisting teachers to use technology in their programs.
Screencasting is an easy (and FREE) way of making recordings in your classroom. Whether your students create them as they do project-based learning or you create them as you flip your classroom, you’ll love these relevant ideas and free tools to take screencasting to your classroom.
Attendees should be able to answer these questions after attending this session:
1. What is screencasting?
2. What tools can my students use to create screencasts and what is the process?
3. What are some example ideas for student creations and teacher creations?

Switching roles in flipped learning is not easy. Teachers need appropriate tools to rule classroom activities, encourage students' home work and evaluate their learning progress. Google tools provide a horn of plenty of resources to better flip teaching.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

7. WORDS OF
The technologies explored promote:
active and independent learning
application
creativity
critical thinking
problem solving
reflection and not mere comprehension
student engagement
Word of Caution: Soft skills need to be addressed
when technologies are used, e.g., time management
skills. There are countless technologies and distractions
on the internet. If students are not instructor-guided
and/or focused, then tons of unproductive time can be
spent on the web with no intellectual gains.
