Cloud computing is used to define a new class of computing that is based on the network technology. Cloud computing takes place over the internet. It comprises of a collection of integrated and networked hardware, software and internet infrastructures. These infrastructures are used to provide various services to the users. Distributed computing comprises of multiple software components that belong to multiple computers. The system works or runs as a single system. Cloud computing can be referred to as a form that originated from distributed computing and virtualization.
Pervasive computing also known as Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) is a concept in software engineering and computer science where computing is made to appear everywhere and anywhere. Eg:laptop computers, tablets and terminals in everyday objects such as a fridge or a pair of glasses.
•It is also termed as ambient intelligence, Ubiquitous computing ,everyware,physical computing, the Internet of Things, haptic computing, and 'things that think’.

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 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.

COMPUTERS IN EDUCATION - UNIT 9 - PROBLEMS OF USING COMPUTER FOR EDUCATION - B.ED - 8620 - AIOU
1. Unit 9
PROBLEMS OF USING
COMPUTER FOR EDUCATION
Presented by Hafiz Sultan Yousaf
Principal 'QAED
GAKHAR,GUJRANWALA
2. OUTLINE OF UNIT NO 9
• 9.1 Objectives
• 9.2 Economic factor
• 9.3 Lack of infra-structure
• 9.4 Lack of educational software
• 9.5 Attitudes towards computer
• 9.6 Installation and maintenance
• 9.7 Planning for implementation
• 9.8 Professional development
3. Objectives of Unit No 9
⮚Choose appropriate system from the
alternatives
⮚Assist professional in development of local
area network
⮚Develop positive attitude towards the use of
computers in class
4. Objectives of Unit No 9
⮚Maintain the computer system properly
⮚Appreciate the need of professional
development
⮚Evaluate the outcomes of compter use in the
class
5.
6. 9.3 Economic Factor
• A large number of computers are available in the
market.
• Choosing appropriate model depends upon a number
of factors.
• These factors according to Hussain and
Hussain(1989, PP.272-275) are:
Cost
Application
Features
Peripherals
Availability of software
8. 9.3 Economic Factor
• Possible sources of raising finds as Wood house and
McDougall (1986, P.261) have mentioned are:
The school administration budget
The school budget in a particular academic department
The school council
The parents' association
The department of Education or other education authority
Special government grants
Community groups, including commercial bodies and
charitable foundations
A computer vendor or dealer
Any combination of the above
9. Donation:
• Donation is the best reasonable fund source as
usually budget does not have capacity to buy a
computer.
• Donation may be from parent's association,
special government fund, and creditable
foundation.
• There is another possibility that department of
education may provide funds equal to the
amount raised locally.
10. Educational Benefits
• If budget is being provided by an organisation
other than government, it is with the objective
of purchase.
• These benefits may relate with the future
employment of the children e.g. an association
on special needs may willingly provides the
funds if they feel that computer will meet the
special needs.
11. Benefits to the Donor
• A donor may wish to have some returns from the
donation.
• A commercial company may wish to be assured that
students will be better trained for their work force.
• An institution wants to get nursery from the school.
• A private college of computer science may establish
a laboratory in your school as he wants to get students
in first year (i.e. F.Sc program).
• This institution will naturally want to visit the school
and be assured that his aims are being achieved.
12.
13. Lack of Infrastructure
• Lack of infrastructure is limitation to the full
use of the computer.
• Usually where computer is available, this
structure lacks. For this, one has to develop
Management Information System (MIS).
• This is not only useful in Business; it is
equally valid in educational systems.
14. MIS refers
• MIS refers "to the system that gathers,
condenses, and filters data until it becomes
information, and then makes it available on
time, and in useful form, for use in decision
making at various levels of management with
an organisation" (Blissmer, 1991, P.226).
15. COMPONENTS OF MIS
• COMPONENTS OF MIS are:
• An Information Centre
• An application development group
• A system group
• An operating group
• A technology planning group
16.
17. Types of MIS includes
• Personal computing
• Work group computing
• Network computing
18.
19. Computer Networking
▪ To use computer in education, it is necessary
to develop computer networking.
▪ Computer Networking may assume many
forms.
20.
21. Star Network:
✔ In this there is central controller (usually
computer) from which communication
channels radiate outwards, each is connected
to a separate devices e.g. terminal or computer.
✔For example a school system has a large scale
or medium scale.
✔ Computer which handles administrator's tasks,
class scheduling and instructional uses.
✔In this main task is of central controller when
it goes, whole network fails.
22. Star Network
• Astar network uses a central controller to
which remote terminals or computers are
attached.
• If the controller becomes inoperable, all
terminals or computers on the network cease
to/unction.
Source: Blissmer, R.H. (1991), Introducing computers. New
York: John - Wilay and Sons Inc. P.2 10.
23.
24. Hierarchical Networks
• (Tree-shaped Networks): In this several other
computers or nodes are connected to the
central computer.
• Each node has devices such as terminals.
• Each modem hierarchical order forms star
network.
• Nationwide organisations use this.
25. Hierarchical Networks
• A hierarchical network is essentially a
multilevel star network.
Source: Blissmer, R.H. (1991), Introducing computers. New
York: JohnWillay and Sons Inc. P.210.
26.
27. Ring Networks:
• It is completely closed network.
• There is no central controller.
• Each computer in the ring has equal status.
• Each computer handles specific information’s.
• When sharing of information is required,
information is passed on over the ring network.
28. A ring network
• A ring network is a completely closed
communication channel with various devices
connected to it.
Source: Blissrner, R.H. (1991), Introducing computers. New
York: JohnWilay and Sons Inc. P.211.
29.
30. Bus Networks
• This is single communication channel routed along a
path in vicinity of each device that must be connected
to it.
• There is no connection between beginning and end of
the network so a terminator is placed at each end of
bus. No central controller is necessary.
• Each computer like ring net works has equal status.
• There may be another communication Network called
Private Branch Exchange (P.B.E) and Wireless
Computer Networks
31. Bus Networks
• A bus network is common channel to which
various devices can be attached. Attaching a
new computer to the network or taking one
away does not disturb the operation of the rest
of the network.
Source: Blissmer, R.H. (1991), Introducing computers. New
York: JohnWilay and Sons Inc. P.211.
32.
33. Lack of Educational Software
• Where to find educational software: Woodhoused
and McDougall (1986, P.238) have enlisted these five
sources:
• 1. hardware suppliers
• 2. publishers catalogues
• 3. computer magazines, especially educational ones
• 4. other teachers: conferences, seminars and inservice
courses
• 5. education authority support services.
• 6. Another important source is Internet.
34. Lack of Educational Software
• Educational software lacks in our country.
• But teachers in school, in general, have begun
to think of computers.
• Once it was also (lie same position in
developed countries.
• There was discrepancy between supply and
demand.
35. Characteristics of effective software
• They enlist following 12 characteristics of effective
software:
• 1. Use is flexible
• 2. Directions are clear
• 3. Computer response is appropriate and understandable
• 4. Screen formatting is reasonable
• 5. No disruptions are caused by system error
• 6. Level of difficulty is appropriate
• 7. Student input is simple
• 8. Correct, clear, concise terminology is used
• 9. Motivational approach is used
• 10. Instructional focus is significant
• 11. Instructional style is effective
• 12. Graphics, animation, colour are used when appropriate.
36.
37. Attitude towards Computer
• Teachers have been seen as providers of knowledge,
diagnostician, tutors, and judges of achievements,
disciplinarian and so on.
• Role of individual vary with the level the teacher and
• the way teaching is organized Computer may change
the situation, may assign new roles for teachers as
technicians, selector of course ware, individualizes of
instruction, managers, schedulers and advisors.
(Hawkridge, 1983, P. 156).
38. Attitude towards Computer
• It seems that in Pakistan, in most of schools
there will be only one computer in each
school, although it may be linked to a large
monitor.
• There is a possibility that teacher-class
relationship may transfer to teacher-
classcomputer triangle.
39. Attitude towards Computer
• Sanders (1983, P.642d) sums up the position
as: 1. "Computers and technology are an
unblemished blessing. 2. Computers and
technology are unbridled curse. 3. Computers
and technology are undeserving of special
attention".
40. Attitude towards Computer
• Attitude towards computers is sometimes
termed as "computer phobia". Anxieties
attached to computer may be of following
categories: A genuine fear of computer A fear
of somehow damaging the system Lack of
typing skills or a general knowledge of
keyboards A fear of not every being able to
learn as much as is needed Being intimated by
the language (or jargon) (Hall-Sheehy. 1988,
P.26).
41.
42. Installation and Maintenance
• After selection process, the sue and
composition depends upon the activities, this
relates to both physical and human factors, it is
better that classroom should he equipped with
I he same equipment the student will use I the
work environment.
43. Installation and Maintenance
• Wires and cables those hang from the back of
a system unit to a printer, personal computers
may look messy.
• It is advisable if more than one computer is to
be installed in the room plenty of power joints
may be matte available.
• Specially with separate cutlets or processors
and peripherals, and circuit breakers rather
than fuses.
44. Installation and Maintenance
• If supply of electricity is unreliable a voltage
regulator should he installed to save the
equipment from damage.
• The lighting both natural and artificial should
he adequate without causing any reflections or
glare.
45. Installation and Maintenance
• Furniture of a computer laboratory or room is a
problem.
• Most of furniture is never designed with
personal computers in mind and this affects the
training facilities.
• Many of institutions do not pay attention to
this factor that must be paid.
46. Installation and Maintenance
• Chairs and tables should he of appropriate
heights, white boards, and keyboards and
antistatic carpets to avoid the buildup of static
electricity which can destroy recorded data.
• Trolleys for moving computers around the
school should have lips to prevent equipment
sliding off. The room should contain water mid
lire resistant data safe.
47. Installation and Maintenance
• Comfort is also a genuine concern. Tables may
be long enough to accommodate a system unit
and printer% may not have enough width for
the system unit and key hoard to line up.
• Often key boards are placed at an angle which
makes it difficult for two people to work
comfortably at one system.
48. Installation and Maintenance
• Consideration should be given to the noise
created by the printers.
• Six or more printers working at the sometime
in an enclosed room can make “the howl of a
banshee seem quiet by comparison”.
• The furniture should be portable and solid
enough to withstand movement over different
floor surfaces
49.
50. Security:
• Security is not only safeguarding what is
stored in a personal computer or on data
diskettes.
• It also extends to the equipment and the
training facilities.
• It is wise to have an envitmunent in which
each one can trust oilier.
51. Security:
• For this Sheehy (1986, P.204) enlists following
precautions to be observed:
• Constantly monitor the facilities.
• Install locks on all doors leading into the facilities
and control.
• Make arrangements for someone to open the doors.
Do not let the people/to check out and remove
software.
• Make unscheduled visits to computer room.
• Keep all software and suppliers locked up in a file
or storage cabinet.
52.
53. Planning for Implementation
• When computer comes in the school, it is an
exciting day.
• But at the same time, it is also start of anther
planning.
• This should be detailed as children will be
involved and theory will be converted into
practice
54. Planning for Implementation
• The final objective is to lead the children to
develop skills which otherwise might have
developed more slowly or might not.
• Each school will have to make decisions about
what will or will not happen to the computer.
• This may be due to many reasons which may
include number of classes, the internal
organization of the schools and its physical
layout.
55. Planning for Implementation
• The question what to do with computer depends upon
the staff as they must decide.
• It is not wise to insist on certain approaches.
• For better output, it is preferable to involve parents,
teachers and administrators throughout the process of
introduction computers to school.
• Woodhouse and McDougall (1986, P.285) have
identified three stages of involvement namely as
initiation, orientation and development. But this is not
final one:
56.
57. Initiation:
• Initiation: It is system selection. Staff is
introduced to computers and their use in
schools. This introduction may be made by
company's representative or expert of
computers. This should involve some practical
also. After this, information literature may be
served to all concerned.
58.
59. Orientation:
• Orientation: This takes place when it is sure that computer will
come to school. The first priority is to eliminate the fear or
phobia of teachers about computers. These fears may be:
• Redundancy: "The computer will take over my job".
• Inadequacy: "I do not know anything about computers".
• Insecurity: "The children probably know a lot more than I
do".
• Indignation: "There is nothing, worrying with my teaching
methods". (Woodhouse and McDoughall, 1986, P.266)
60.
61. Professional Development
• We have discussed teacher training in Unit 7.
Actually teachers need to know very little
about computers to be able to use them.
• The more the teacher knows the more
meaningful task is.
• Initially teacher needs to know how to switch
on and off the computer and load a computer.
62. Professional Development
• Teachers usually receive some in-service
training in their schools; usually this is
introductory demonstration sessions.
• There may be teachers who have got training
from local computer institutions.
• General orientation courses vary in scope and
reflect particular orientation of their
instructors.
• There is also variation as BASIC
programming, logo, software evaluation, and
general machine handling competencies.
63. Professional Development
• Now, let us have a look on the training plans
which principals and computer consultants
should implement:
• Identify each individual teacher's concern,
Provide opportunities for local teachers
exchange depending oil level of particular
teachers.
• Provide some incentive for time and effort.
64. Professional Development
• Organize a place where teachers can learn and
plan together.
• Let teachers take computers home to build
confidence and prepare lesson materials.
• Choose a school target for a year... and
supervise the collaboration that need to occur.
• Evaluate teacher’s effort and growth in
computer applications, being deceptive to level
each teacher is act, (Collis, 1988, PP.317-318).
65.
66. Evaluation
• In many countries, evaluation of software is
ongoing process but for teachers in Pakistan,
there is no ready vehicle to have such updated
information. The computing teacher journal
(International Council for Computers in
Education, Eugene, Oregon) is an example. to
discriminate between good and bad features of
software is a difficult task
67. Evaluation
• Before selection of any soft, teacher should
ask at least two questions: 1. "Do my students
have an educational need that this software
seems to address? 2. What does this program
supply that I could not do in some other, nor
available way? (Collis, B. 1988, P.319)
