Innovation..introduction
Computer tools can help both teachers and students in planning, implementing, and evaluating instruction. For teachers, computer tools can be used to present instruction, provide learning activities and assessments, and evaluate student responses. For students, computer tools can be used to assist in learning and organizing work. Some key computer tools include word processors for writing, graphics tools for images, presentation software for displaying information, databases for organizing data, and spreadsheets for calculations and data analysis. Both teachers and students can benefit from these tools, but they should take care to focus on content over just form or flashy design elements when using them.
Computer tools for teaching and learning
Computer tools can help both teachers and students. Teachers can use tools like word processors to create lessons, spreadsheets to track grades, and presentation software to deliver lectures. Students can use these same tools to write papers, analyze data, and create reports. While computer tools provide benefits over traditional tools, teachers need to ensure students focus on content over just formatting or visuals. Overall, computer tools can enhance the teaching and learning process when used appropriately.
Universal design for learning
1. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provides flexibility in curriculum and instructional methods to maximize learning for all students. It is based on three principles: multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement.
2. UDL can be implemented in the classroom through varying presentation methods, participation options, and forms of expression. Examples include using multiple media types, allowing choices in how students demonstrate knowledge, and providing flexible models of skilled performance.
3. Integrating technology and UDL allows for more flexible learning materials and making content accessible for diverse learners. Resources like the UDL Class Profile Maker can help teachers understand student needs and apply UDL principles.

Video art power point
Video art is an art form that uses moving pictures with video and audio. It originated from video tape and can take the form of single channel videos or installations combining multiple videos. Pioneering artists like Andy Warhol and Nam June Paik began experimenting with video in the 1960s when the first portable video recorder, the Sony Portapak, allowed for instant recording and playback. Today, digital video and the internet have expanded the creative possibilities for video artists and many works are presented as single channel videos or immersive installations.
Video art power point
Video art is a type of art that uses moving pictures and audio, typically displayed through video installations or as standalone pieces. It gets its name from the original video tape medium. There are two primary types: single channel videos screened individually, and installations with multiple related video pieces screened simultaneously, sometimes combined with other art forms. Pioneering video artists in the 1960s like Andy Warhol and Nam June Paik began experimenting with early video equipment and helped establish it as an art form. Today, digital technology allows many more artists to create video artworks and installations with greater creative control and flexibility.
Harlem Renaissance
The Harlem Renaissance was a period in the 1920s-1940s when there was a flowering of African American culture, especially in Harlem, New York. Many African Americans had migrated north during the Great Migration to escape racism and find jobs. Artists drew inspiration from African and jazz styles and sought to express their own African American identity and experiences. Key artists featured paintings, sculptures, writings and more that explored themes of African American life and history and influenced 20th century art for decades. The Great Depression eventually ended the Harlem Renaissance by the late 1930s but its impact on African American culture has endured.

Learning disabilities are defined as average intelligence with substantially delayed academic achievement that is not caused by other factors like cultural differences. Students are identified as having a learning disability if there is a discrepancy of 23 or more points between their intelligence and achievement test scores. While definitions and identification methods differ between states, learning disabilities are generally characterized by difficulties in areas like reading, writing, math, attention, memory, and organization that interfere with academic progress.
Chapter 4
Learning disabilities are neurologically-based disorders that affect a student's ability to learn in one or more areas, despite average intelligence. They affect over 50% of students with disabilities and are characterized by a significant discrepancy between achievement and potential. Students are identified using discrepancy formulas that compare intelligence and achievement test scores. While formulas vary by state, most require a difference of 23 or more standard score points for special education eligibility. Proper identification and support through strategies like structured classrooms and inclusion are needed to help students with learning disabilities achieve.
Chapter 4
Learning disabilities are defined as average intelligence with substantially delayed academic achievement, not caused by other factors like sensory impairments or environment. Students are identified by a discrepancy between intelligence and achievement test scores. Identification criteria differ between school districts and states. The field of learning disabilities emerged in the 1960s and the number of students identified has increased dramatically since. Common learning characteristics include issues with attention, motivation, problem-solving, and information processing.
