some of the facilities listed above which are used with varying degrees of success in education. As a tool of teaching, they have values which are

These have been available for some time now, but vary in their quality of material and actual likely learning outcome. The usual idea is that the student
should work through a program at their own speed learning and giving answers, usually to multiple choice questions. The program might be one long
on–going one, but is more usually broken into sections of increasing complexity, which can be used in any order for the topic required. If the student
tries to go too far into the work before understanding the earlier chapters properly, then they will find it too difficult. Most programs have tests at the
end of each section to self–assess progress. The best ones also have optional tests at the beginning of each section to see if the student already knows
the material in it and can therefore miss that section out. The material varies in quality. Some are very good, making students at least think before
answering questions. However, this learning system suffers from one fundamental problem. It is fairly easy to skip through a section and then
immediately do a test on it. This however does not

Information Gathering Techniques
Effective information gathering is the most basic perspective–widening tool an effective leader requires. Good quality information marks out the
context in which the leader operates, creates the information patterns from which ideas emerge, and provides the criteria by which ideas are screened
and assessed. When you successfully gather information and assess questions or problems, you will increase your first–level resolutions. As you
perfect your assessment skills, you'll enhance your problem–solving efficiency and effectiveness.

It also includes silent observation and following up with verbal questions.In direct personal observation the researcher is the observer. Researcher
records what the participants are watching and doing. However, in social research direct personal observation plays a vital role. That is, the researcher
is watching what is happening, or may rely on the reported observations of others. In indirect personal observation the researcher must rely on the
reported observations (including self–observations) of others. In this type of observation the research could conduct interviews with people about how
they use, for example the search–engines. This is one of the most reliable methods for you to gauge the learner's competence.

Another method of gathering information is the questionnaire method. As the name explains its self the researcher devises the questionnaire based on
the number of factors involved in its research and he/she is trying to find out the exact point of view of the participants. In questionnaire method the

Misinformation and False Memory Essay
In class this week we saw cases where our memory fails when recalling information in the past and even seeing changes in real time in front of our
eyes. Misinformation is when someone gives information that is incorrect without the intent of giving the incorrect information. This is more likely
to happen in situations where the new information would fit someone's schema of the situation. In a crime example, we can say that a robber has a
knife in his hand and pointed it at someone, someone in the situation may have seen a gun instead of the knife and give that as a description. It is the
same when someone misreads a word or letter as another in a license plate. It is not on purpose but it is because our brains use shortcuts to link...show

All of these are viable explanations why people may believe in misinformation that is given.
In class we watched how social pressures could influence how others perceive a shared memory. The study looked at how friends can influence
misinformation that someone receives. In the study, they had participants watch a video and then take a survey, then a few days later take the survey
again while they were mapping the brain. While mapping their brain, researchers asked a survey question and also showed answers the other participants
selected (verifying the misinformation). About 70% of the participants sided with the misinformation, then the participants were tested a third time a
few weeks later to see if the new misinformation actually became part of the memory or if it only affected the participant for a short time. Researchers
found that it actually changed the memory and they remembered the misinformation.
Throughout all of these studies one thing seems to stand out and that is how all of these studies can have an effect on eyewitness testimony. If a person

graphics by Microsft Excel to link mathematical concepts to real–world applications. Moreover, PowePoint can be utilized for demonstration purpose.
Actually, after technology began to use in schools and universities, about 75 percent of students have higher grades than the students who have a
traditional learning process.
On the other hand, some people disagree with integrating technology in education, because it causes eye weakness and lets students depended on
computer which decrease their intelligent thinking, reading and writing skills. It is true that some students intelligent thinking decrease, and may lead
to eye weakness. But students should have high level of education in developing countries and health aspect can be avoided by using quality screen.
In conclusion, integrating technology in education is an excellent method, because this dynamic system used in the classroom make students more

Abstract
Information Processing Theory
The information processing theory is a group of theoretical frame works that address how the human beings receive, think about, mentally, modify and
remember information and how such cognitive processes change over the course of development. (Child development pg.186) Information processing
theory emerged in the late 1950s and early 1960s and has continued to evolve in the decades that have followed. (Child development pg.186)
The five key components in the information process theory are sensation, perception, sensory register, working memory, and long–term memory.
Sensation is the physiological...show more content...
Then the information goes to working memory, which allows that active information to stay around for a few seconds. After that, in–depth processing
begins making connections between new information and existing knowledge through rehearsal, organization, and elaboration. Last is the long–term
memory which now stores the information for retrieval at a later day and time. Input from the environment is what keeps information going in the
model.
As a child grows, the child's information becomes more complex, the distractions start to decrease and the attention span becomes longer. Children
begin to process more and more and faster.
The information process theory is used by researchers to study cognitive development in children. They have focused on areas such as the gradual
improvements in children's ability to take in information and focus selectively on certain parts of it and their increase attention spans and capacity for
memory storage. (Ken R. Wells, healthofchildren.com)

1. Introduction
It is generally accepted that information is a vital commodity for the successful operation of today's organizations. Nowadays modern business
organizations are using computerized information systems in order to obtain such information. However as the technology advances rapidly the main
issue is how can an organization should effectively use such an information system – which its management sometimes can be unpredictable – in order
to effectively help the whole organization structure to improve and take the most out of it.

Server software: Today's Web servers come with a variety of servers ranging from HTML editors in search engines to application servers.
Client Software: Two main browsers here. Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Site Management Software: Web site management includes such things as uploading HTMLfiles, showing a graphical view of a site, checking for bad
links, etc.
Application development tools: The tools listed under this category have much in common with the site management tools. Both edit HMTL and
upload files to the server. The tools have built in support, usually drag and drop, for scripting.
Application servers: These servers use special tags within an HTML file to direct processing. They also can have hooks to call external programs to
handle processing that is not built into the server, and they also separate developer and server portions into separate packages.
Implementation approaches: Such as ASP, CGI, Java, Application servers.

Class one is predominantly involved with personal privacy and protection from outsiders. With the introduction of the Internet into our lives, electronic
privacy as we know it has come to a halt. Almost all our information is stored on some sort of computer, whether it be at DMV, our Insurance company,

The management consulting industry deals in three different areas; risk management, consulting, and information management. In risk management,
companies "seek greater protection against unexpected losses , whether from natural disaster, lawsuits, political events, and internet scandals."1
Information management refers to the internet and how businesses organize and control the information flowing in and out of them2. Consulting

The introduction of the internet created an almost unlimited capacity for information storage4. However, to compensate for loss of space, a new
technology was created called portals. In a nutshell, portals organize information on a web–page5. They grew quickly in popularity. In 1999, only about
16% of companies had implemented portals, but by 2002, around 90% of companies were using them. This is important to the management consulting
industry because companies and businesses continue to invest in information technology. Information technology spending is expected to increase
again in the United States6. This increase in spending is primarily driven by the banking and financial industry, as well as the government and
manufacturing sectors, insurance, healthcare, and media. Employers "will need to employ ever more sophisticated techniques to transport, store,
secure, and replicate the additional information that is being generated everyday7." Investing in information technology can oftentimes be a big risk,
because it is often unclear what the new "big thing" is going to be, or whether the financial return is going to be worth the initial investment. This is
why risk management is heavily tied into management consulting and information management. The risk management portion of the industry helps
companies who endeavor to minimize risks within business transactions. They generally seek

They know where to look for the answer to both the common everyday information needs and for the answer to the more perplexing,

For students to be adequately informed about the value of the university library and resources such as the Internet in information retrieval there must
be a careful collaboration between teaching staff and library staff (Kenney, 2007). The focus in this task, of course, is preparing students not just for

leave the academic environment and take up their chosen careers (Lauer & Yodanis, 2012).

Essay On Information Technology

  • 1. Essay on Information Technology Information Technology Index. 1. CDROMs as a Learning Resource. 2. Microsoft PowerPoint.В® 3. Digital Cameras. 4. Videoconferencing. 5. Speech Recognition. Preamble. Information Technology, (IT ) is now a widely used tool in education, business and leisure. This project describes some of the facilities listed above which are used with varying degrees of success in education. As a tool of teaching, they have values which are discussed, but their widespread application in commerce and leisure makes having experience of them a requisite part of wider education. However, they can easily be construed as the way the learn, or as the only tool needed. With the exception...show more content... Such people will have quite a lot of computer literacy from the modules they already know and it will be interesting to see how much additional support they really need. 1. CDROMS as a Learning Resource. One useful way of using a computer in education is using subject specialist CDROMS. These have been available for some time now, but vary in their quality of material and actual likely learning outcome. The usual idea is that the student should work through a program at their own speed learning and giving answers, usually to multiple choice questions. The program might be one long on–going one, but is more usually broken into sections of increasing complexity, which can be used in any order for the topic required. If the student tries to go too far into the work before understanding the earlier chapters properly, then they will find it too difficult. Most programs have tests at the end of each section to self–assess progress. The best ones also have optional tests at the beginning of each section to see if the student already knows the material in it and can therefore miss that section out. The material varies in quality. Some are very good, making students at least think before answering questions. However, this learning system suffers from one fundamental problem. It is fairly easy to skip through a section and then immediately do a test on it. This however does not Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Good quality information marks out the context in which the leader operates, creates the information patterns from which ideas emerge, and provides the criteria by which ideas are screened and assessed. When you successfully gather information and assess questions or problems, you will increase your first–level resolutions. As you perfect your assessment skills, you'll enhance your problem–solving efficiency and effectiveness. Various Information Gathering Techniques Review documentation Documentation serves to clarify understanding, and perhaps most important, it provides the audit trail of the...show more content... It also includes silent observation and following up with verbal questions.In direct personal observation the researcher is the observer. Researcher records what the participants are watching and doing. However, in social research direct personal observation plays a vital role. That is, the researcher is watching what is happening, or may rely on the reported observations of others. In indirect personal observation the researcher must rely on the reported observations (including self–observations) of others. In this type of observation the research could conduct interviews with people about how they use, for example the search–engines. This is one of the most reliable methods for you to gauge the learner's competence. Use this (http://www.sla.org/PDFs/SLA2009/2009GatherandAnalyzeData__PQD%203–09.pdf) Questionnaire Another method of gathering information is the questionnaire method. As the name explains its self the researcher devises the questionnaire based on the number of factors involved in its research and he/she is trying to find out the exact point of view of the participants. In questionnaire method the freedom of what to say is not provided by the researcher. This is a very effective and handy tool to dig out the specific information about the research topic. Questionnaires are much more informal, and they are good tools to gather requirements from stakeholders in remote locations or those who will have only minor Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Misinformation and False Memory Essay In class this week we saw cases where our memory fails when recalling information in the past and even seeing changes in real time in front of our eyes. Misinformation is when someone gives information that is incorrect without the intent of giving the incorrect information. This is more likely to happen in situations where the new information would fit someone's schema of the situation. In a crime example, we can say that a robber has a knife in his hand and pointed it at someone, someone in the situation may have seen a gun instead of the knife and give that as a description. It is the same when someone misreads a word or letter as another in a license plate. It is not on purpose but it is because our brains use shortcuts to link...show more content... All of these are viable explanations why people may believe in misinformation that is given. In class we watched how social pressures could influence how others perceive a shared memory. The study looked at how friends can influence misinformation that someone receives. In the study, they had participants watch a video and then take a survey, then a few days later take the survey again while they were mapping the brain. While mapping their brain, researchers asked a survey question and also showed answers the other participants selected (verifying the misinformation). About 70% of the participants sided with the misinformation, then the participants were tested a third time a few weeks later to see if the new misinformation actually became part of the memory or if it only affected the participant for a short time. Researchers found that it actually changed the memory and they remembered the misinformation. Throughout all of these studies one thing seems to stand out and that is how all of these studies can have an effect on eyewitness testimony. If a person witnesses a crime or accident and either misinterprets it or intentionally gives false information and the police use that information to interview other Get more content on HelpWriting.net

All possible types of (ICT) such as; smart mobile phones, computers, are starting to replace a textbook in school and university with an online e–book. These types of technology integrated into a classroom can be a great tool to empower students to get a wide range of knowledge. Using technology in the classroom is affected in positive and negative ways. Moreover, people are divided into two different perspectives regarding this issue. Some people believe that technology will enhance student's knowledge, whereas, other authorities are struggling to provide technology in the classroom. Indeed, the positive influence of integrating...show more content... In addition, technology can improve student's skills by using it among classroom to let them typing on the keyboard to get used to it. Allow students to know how to utilize computer programs, such as, Microsoft office software. They will know how to make articles, presentations, brochures, and use graphics by Microsft Excel to link mathematical concepts to real–world applications. Moreover, PowePoint can be utilized for demonstration purpose. Actually, after technology began to use in schools and universities, about 75 percent of students have higher grades than the students who have a traditional learning process. On the other hand, some people disagree with integrating technology in education, because it causes eye weakness and lets students depended on computer which decrease their intelligent thinking, reading and writing skills. It is true that some students intelligent thinking decrease, and may lead to eye weakness. But students should have high level of education in developing countries and health aspect can be avoided by using quality screen. In conclusion, integrating technology in education is an excellent method, because this dynamic system used in the classroom make students more initiative and participating in the class. Furthermore, they will understand the lessons better than the traditional method of learning. Technology can motivate students to achieve high level of education. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Essay about Information Processing Theory Information Processing Theory Selicia Whidbee–Denmon AED202 April 1, 2012 Tracey Morgado Abstract Information Processing Theory The information processing theory is a group of theoretical frame works that address how the human beings receive, think about, mentally, modify and remember information and how such cognitive processes change over the course of development. (Child development pg.186) Information processing theory emerged in the late 1950s and early 1960s and has continued to evolve in the decades that have followed. (Child development pg.186) The five key components in the information process theory are sensation, perception, sensory register, working memory, and long–term memory. Sensation is the physiological...show more content... Then the information goes to working memory, which allows that active information to stay around for a few seconds. After that, in–depth processing begins making connections between new information and existing knowledge through rehearsal, organization, and elaboration. Last is the long–term memory which now stores the information for retrieval at a later day and time. Input from the environment is what keeps information going in the model. As a child grows, the child's information becomes more complex, the distractions start to decrease and the attention span becomes longer. Children begin to process more and more and faster. The information process theory is used by researchers to study cognitive development in children. They have focused on areas such as the gradual improvements in children's ability to take in information and focus selectively on certain parts of it and their increase attention spans and capacity for memory storage. (Ken R. Wells, healthofchildren.com) Infants–two years old As babies come into the world, they learn to use their senses to explore the world around them. Most newborns focus on and follow objects.

Both edit HMTL and upload files to the server. The tools have built in support, usually drag and drop, for scripting. Application servers: These servers use special tags within an HTML file to direct processing. They also can have hooks to call external programs to handle processing that is not built into the server, and they also separate developer and server portions into separate packages. Implementation approaches: Such as ASP, CGI, Java, Application servers. 4. Intranet architecture There are several ways to build up an intranet.

Class one is predominantly involved with personal privacy and protection from outsiders. With the introduction of the Internet into our lives, electronic privacy as we know it has come to a halt. Almost all our information is stored on some sort of computer, whether it be at DMV, our Insurance company, state and federal government, video rentals, and even the EZ–Pass. While in the reality everything may indeed be objective, things in cyberspace are subjective. Type two is more on a corporate level bringing individuals together in mass and attacking their businesses. Businesses today are making more money than ever, producing more and more products. With this comes the increased danger in releasing information regarding the companies assets and progress. The final type, three, is the biggest and most detrimental to the people as a whole. One of the most fundamental weapons of a nation is information. These days we have more federal agencies than ever solely dedicated towards protecting and gaining information. Just to name a few: the CIA, DOJ, IA, and Pentagon. One of the hardest parts of protecting information, is the concept of how to hold on to an intangible object.

  • 10. Information Management Essay The management consulting industry deals in three different areas; risk management, consulting, and information management. In risk management, companies "seek greater protection against unexpected losses , whether from natural disaster, lawsuits, political events, and internet scandals."1 Information management refers to the internet and how businesses organize and control the information flowing in and out of them2. Consulting combines the two, where businesses employ advisors to help them manage risks and their information to further profit and prevent loss within the company. Information management is a long standing industry, that existed before computers and the internet. When technology advanced to computers, and electronics,...show more content... The introduction of the internet created an almost unlimited capacity for information storage4. However, to compensate for loss of space, a new technology was created called portals. In a nutshell, portals organize information on a web–page5. They grew quickly in popularity. In 1999, only about 16% of companies had implemented portals, but by 2002, around 90% of companies were using them. This is important to the management consulting industry because companies and businesses continue to invest in information technology. Information technology spending is expected to increase again in the United States6. This increase in spending is primarily driven by the banking and financial industry, as well as the government and manufacturing sectors, insurance, healthcare, and media. Employers "will need to employ ever more sophisticated techniques to transport, store, secure, and replicate the additional information that is being generated everyday7." Investing in information technology can oftentimes be a big risk, because it is often unclear what the new "big thing" is going to be, or whether the financial return is going to be worth the initial investment. This is why risk management is heavily tied into management consulting and information management. The risk management portion of the industry helps companies who endeavor to minimize risks within business transactions. They generally seek Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Information technology is bound to bring about cultural transformation in many developing and socialist nations. The information thread will help in networking various cultures and conflicts. New information systems also provide accessibility and connectivity. Together, these two concepts provide networking of information and people the world over. Now large data bases are accessible freely to people through international telecom networks. These data bases contain a variety of information on technology, trade, business, patents, travel, entertainment, and finance, for people to share and interact. Through these, specialists get connected to one another to enhance their knowledge and interests. By providing an interactive capability these networks serve a special role in networking international talent. Today we are moving products and tomorrow we would be moving ideas.
