Kurt Killewald chose to discuss the downfalls of technology in the classroom as a future educator seeking to understand both benefits and disadvantages of incorporating technology. While technology can offer tools like videos, computers, and smart boards, overreliance on passive screen activities can lead to student isolation, lack of social interaction, and inability to keep up emotionally with classroom material. Simply using computers as the main teaching tool does not effectively develop critical thinking without a teacher to guide learning. Technology also risks negative impacts if not monitored, like exposing children to inappropriate content online. As an educator, Killewald aims to utilize technology's benefits while avoiding problems of replacing meaningful learning with passive digital activities.
The document discusses project management and construction. It covers topics like managing large-scale construction projects, challenges in construction projects, and the future of project management. It also provides information on the International Project Management Association (IPMA) such as its member countries, certification program, and conferences on construction project management.
Kurt Killewald chose to discuss the downfalls of technology in the classroom as a future educator seeking to understand both benefits and disadvantages of incorporating technology. While technology can offer useful tools, overreliance on passive screen activities can lead to student isolation, lack of understanding, and emotional issues. It is important that technology serves only as a tool for teachers to utilize effectively, and not replace critical thinking, interaction, and mastery of fundamental skills. Excessive technology use may also enable laziness, lack of challenge, and overdependence on resources instead of intrinsic learning.
This document provides an overview of functions and their representations. It discusses the domain and range of a function, and how functions can be represented verbally, visually, numerically, and algebraically. It also describes the vertical line test used to determine if a graph represents a function. Inverse functions and the horizontal line test are introduced. Common types of functions covered include linear, polynomial, cubic, rational, and trigonometric functions. Mathematical modeling using functions is also briefly discussed.

Geothermal energy is primarily used in China, where 20% of the world's geothermal energy is utilized, and Portugal's Azores islands. In the Azores, geothermal energy is used to power 5 power plants and heat pans of food buried in the ground. Setting up a home or large power plant using geothermal energy has initial costs, but operating costs are lower than fossil fuels. Geothermal energy is a renewable and clean source that avoids pollution and depletion concerns of fossil fuels, though high initial drilling costs are a potential drawback for some. Geothermal plants work by pumping underground hot water or steam through turbines to generate electricity.
The document discusses chemistry state standards and concepts related to stoichiometry including:
- Balancing chemical equations and distinguishing chemical and physical changes.
- Mole ratios in balanced chemical equations give the relative numbers of molecules or moles of reactants and products.
- Common stoichiometry problems involve converting between the moles or masses of different substances using mole ratios from balanced equations.
- The balanced equation verifies the law of conservation of mass as the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.
The document summarizes the original 13 colonies in British North America. It divides the colonies into three regions: New England (4 colonies founded between 1620-1635), Middle (4 colonies founded between 1664-1682), and Southern (5 colonies founded between 1607-1732). For each colony, it provides the founding date, who founded it, and what entity it later became.
The document provides an overview of developments in construction project management in the United Kingdom from 1995 to 2005. It discusses several key reports during this period that aimed to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the industry, including the Latham Report of 1994, Egan Report of 1998, and National Audit Office report of 2001. It also outlines new procurement principles and commercial arrangements that emerged, such as early supplier involvement, collaborative contracts, long-term relationships, and supply chain management.

While technology can offer useful tools, overreliance on passive screen activities can lead to student isolation, lack of understanding, and emotional issues. It is important that technology serves only as a tool for teachers to help students develop critical thinking, and not become the central focus of instruction, as its impacts on learning are still being studied. Students may also become dependent on technology as a crutch instead of being intrinsically motivated to learn.
