Lessons from the Frontier of Courseware DevelopmentDani Nicholson
This is a presentation I did last week (6/16/16) at the New Media Consortium (NMC) summer conference: The number of ed tech startups and the significant investment in adaptive courseware solutions can remind people of the 1860s gold rush: some prospered, but many failed. In the past two years of developing OpenStax Tutor, the OpenStax team has learned several valuable lessons that can benefit educators, digital courseware providers, and students from making costly miscalculations. Lessons learned and presented are 1) technology with high-quality content and assessment is most valuable; 2) instructor workflow is a highway, not a fork in the road; 3) emergence of data privacy standards can accelerate acceptance of digital courseware; and, 4) it's not about price, it's about value.
This is very useful in teaching learning process. This is to enhance the skills of the learners and to develop them holistically to be better prepare for their future.
Integration of technology in teaching and learning is an important aspect of today's education.Here is a presentation on what technology integration is, its benefits, and how teachers can put it into practice.

Role of Technology in influencing teaching and learning in K-12 spaceAmina Charania
Technology inclusion in schools often go as a welcome of resources. Are the teachers and administrators equipped to ask the right questions, choose and participate in what technology is used in their classrooms? This presentation highlights some of the frameworks as guidelines to educators, teachers and administrators in making technology integration decisions for their schools and classrooms.
Briefly describes my philosophy of technology integration in the classroom and the roles of the teacher and students. It also provides information for what effective and ineffective technology integration looks like in the classroom.

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.

BECTA Research report: Impact of ICT in schools: a landscape review http://publications.becta.org.uk/download.cfm?resID=28221“There was little collaborative work and pupils tended to work individually on the class computer in the corner of the room. Given the novelty value of computers in the 80s and early 90s, and limited access out of school, access to a computer was perceived as motivating in itself and used to promote pupil engagement in the learning process and ease classroom management in a relatively crude manner.By contrast, current use can be broadly described as characterised by collaborative, investigative and problem-solving activities designed to develop increasingly independent learners who are confident users of ICT, exploring and finding out for themselves, with greater peer interaction compared to non-ICT lessons (Hennessy et al., 2005). This is reflected in growing emphasis on elearning defined by the DfES (2003) as those approaches that exploit ‘interactive technologies and communication systems to improve the learning experience’ (DfES, 2003, p.7). Similarly, the JISC policy statement describes e-learning as ‘learning facilitated and supported through the use of some or all of the various technologies’, including computers, desk- and laptop, mobile and wireless tools, electronic communication tools, learning platforms and IWBs (JISC, 2004, p.10).”
BECTA and Ofsted reportsStrong links between high standards across curriculum with good technology provision. The wider use of ICT across curriculum = better GCSE resultsA BECTA Report stated that the “Impact of technology was greater when good resources were combined with good teaching”-----------------------------------Reynolds, D., Treharne, D. and Tripp, H. (2003) . ICT—the hopes and the reality. British Journal of Educational Technology Vol 34 No 2. Available: http://www.hull.ac.uk/php/edskas/Reynolds%20article.pdfOfSTED has summarised the characteristics of good secondary school ICT provision.(OfSTED, 2002) They are:• availability of different groupings of resources to match the needs of departments, for example computer rooms, clusters of machines and individual workstations around the site• computers networked and well maintained with good Internet access from all workstations• well-lit, comfortable computer rooms with sufficient space for pupils to work away from computers and for teachers to circulate and talk to individual pupils• effective communication with the whole class using digital projectors or the capacity to control all the computers• an efficient and equitable booking system for computer rooms.---------------------------------Miller, S., (2002) The Guardian: Moving target. Available: http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2002/feb/26/schools.itforschoolsOn paper, the headline results of this drive are already impressive. In 1998, only 17% of primary schools and 83% of secondaries had any internet access at all; according to the latest official statistics for use of ICT in schools, that had risen to 96% and 99% respectively by last year. Primary schools had, on average, one computer per 11.8 pupils last year compared with one per 17.6 pupils four years ago, while the ratio in secondaries has risen from one per 8.7 pupils to one per 7.1 over the same period. About £50m is being ploughed into the new curriculum online initiative to provide an array of new electronic resources across the curriculum in partnership with the BBC and software developers, while the new opportunities fund has provided money for teachers to receive ICT training as part of a determined push to improve their competence - and confidence - in using new technology to plan and deliver their lessons. At the same time, about 50,000 teachers, including 32,000 under the computers for teachers scheme, have been provided with cut-price computers. And when she unveiled the school of the future, Estelle Morris also announced a doubling of the funding for the laptops for teachers scheme to £100m, which will provide laptops for a further 100,000 teachers free of charge over the next two years. The revolution is well under way, and evidence is starting to emerge of the benefits it can bring.

Available: http://www.hull.ac.uk/php/edskas/Reynolds%20article.pdf“ICT raises standards of pupil achievement”DfES 2002 and literacyThe IMPACT2 interim evaluation highlighted the positive role of ICT in primary school English, but reported that the effect in secondary schools was minimal. ICT was found to have supported learning by helping to “increase the intensity of pupils’ learning” for example by using multimedia to create a teaching resource about apostrophes for other pupils to use. It also had the effect of “increasing pupils’ focus on story-writing” in the experiment where pupils planned a story by creating pictures to accompany it with a drawing package. Teachers used ICT “to support reading, spelling and redrafting as well as to enhance reading comprehension.” It also “supported pupils’ literacy skills by presenting words and text visually and aurally”.A second common use for ICT in Science is the use of CD-ROMs and multimedia packages. These are claimed to provide “highly motivating access to information and ways to communicate that information.” (Miller, 2001)ICT also allows pupils to communicate more easily with research scientists, through e-mail and on-line discussion groups. The World Wide Web can also allow them to take part in specific research projects, such as the Pupil Research Initiative at Sheffield Hallam University.
