Screen Time and the Young Child: Strategies for BalanceStaci Trekles
Presentation on screen time and strategies for balancing technology exposure with other learning activities for early learners. For the Early Childhood Education Conference at Purdue University North Central, April 26, 2014
Studies have shown that, on average, people spend around 10 hours a day connected to some form of technology. Technology these days, for better or for worse, greatly influences and shapes the way we raise our children and greatly affects their growth and development. Our experts weigh in and discuss their views on how technology affects both children and parents alike.
Our services range from IC software development, electronic circuit designs, voice/sound editing to sales. We are experienced and excellent in research and development of Voice ICs, MCU, ELA and SRAM for Educational Toys like kid reading pen/kid tablet/story teller solution and RC electronics like Quadcopter, Quran-related products as well as some other consumer electronics~~ contact market5@chomptech.com for more
Though children have a healthy appetite across “traditional screens” such as television and movies, computers, and video games, their usage of these screens is declining. Instead, there’s been an upswing in children’s consumption of and participation in media through a mobile device. And though a mobile device is what every child expects to have in their pocket, the next big thing coming in mobile is wearable devices combined with the Internet of Things (IoT) as we saw in the announcement of the Fall release of Disney’s Playmation. This shift places a clear demand on creators: Offer something different to today’s digital kids.
In this session, Ms. Goodstein will present a case study of the Ad Council’s tooth brushing app/game Toothsavers, which launched this past January (http://2min2x.org/toothsavers/). The game is part of the Ad Council’s Children’s Oral Health campaign which targets parents of young children with the goal of getting kids to brush twice a day for two minutes. The case study will cover:
- Considerations for non-profits or social good campaigns when considering app development including cost to build, marketing and evaluation
- Best practices in designing an app for young children (and their parents)
- Lessons learned from our experience – what’s working and what’s not

Education has entered the Post-PC era; a time when mobile technology has ushered in a change to the way faculty teach and students learn. Mobility has many advantages, and tablet devices like the iPad have provided us with a sort of renaissance as we are freed from the constraints of the personal computer. Specifically, mobility increases engagement, eases collaboration amongst all members of a campus, and encourages creativity by teachers and students. By bringing together up-to-date research, with best practices from successful mobile 1:1 initiatives, this forward-looking session will present insights into what’s possible in the Post-PC era.
So I ask the question, will my own children ever own a laptop? Could Conner (12), Liam (10) and Keagan (8) be part of a new generation? #laptopnevers

Business Plan for a Healthcare OrganizationTwo main tasks.docxhumphrieskalyn
Business Plan for a Healthcare Organization
Two main tasks:
The first task is: Source of Revenue: An Increase in the Medicare Patient Population
The president of Gentiva Health Services is considering increasing her number of Medicare patients served next year. However, to do so she must begin to use RNs for client visits, which Medicare reimburses at $45 per visit. An RN costs $35 per hour versus the current cost of $15 for an LPN or nurse’s aide. The president believes she can increase her patient visits by 15% by accepting Medicare patients. She is also aware that if she increases her Medicare patients, the company’s administrative costs will increase by approximately $10,000 per year because of the claims file complexity.
Using the Gentiva Health Services Statement of Income http://investors.gentiva.com/financials.cfm, use the following volumes for your calculations:
Volume for the year:
· Flexible budget: 6,000 visits
· Static budget: 5,945 visits
· Actual budget: 5,889 visits
Prepare a two-page report that addresses the following:
1 How many more visits will the company generate if it accepts Medicare patients?
2 What would be the estimated profit or loss associated with the Medicare service line?
3 Would you recommend that Gentiva Health Services increase its number of Medicare patients served? Why or why not?
The second task is: Business Plan
Review the quarterly report and develop a business plan for the organization for its upcoming financial year. Be sure to include the following in your organized business plan:
· Organization segment
· Marketing segment
· Financial segment
· Projected cash flow statement
· Projected income statement
· Projected balance sheet
Feel free to take liberties with information needed that is not available in the report.
You may find the quarterly report at http://investors.gentiva.com/financials.cfm Include all required tasks for this assignment in a Word document.

Introduction
Technology has been so close to the children in this century than any other time in the past. Thus, it is influencing them negatively and positively. The world is moving in a technology path and it is the responsibility the parent to ensure that children too are not in behind by ensuring that they have the right environment that will help them grow technological . However, the information the children learn can be good or bad to them and it depends on the internet and the sources they get the information. Therefore, it is upto the responsibility of the parent to determine the kind of information that their children get. Too much exposure to internet will allow them get the kind of information that can harm their psychology. In addition, when they remain and take much time watching television ...

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

first place is important!
“…infant exposure to adult-oriented
media was associated with less
cognitive development, but exposure
to child-oriented media was not
associated with any cognitive
outcome.”

Theory aside. Witnessing the last generation of students with backpacks and bad backs. Moving from Gen-C to Gen-T.
J - Much of the focus on using mobile devices for reading instruction has been on the “fun” and not the “function.” Examples of games and widgets. Also depends on purpose…pleasure or informational reading. It’s not replacing education. Need mediation. Reading app wont’ teach kids how to read. Research out of Temple — when Parents sat down with iPad and kids — more emphasis on function not meaning of the text/content.
J - Newness of devices. Reading from paper for many many years. Novelty effect. Generation C to Generation T. Difference between using smart device for pleasure and for education. Teachers are eager to embrace devices but not sure where/how to start.
J - University Reading Clinic, Public School Classroom (k-4), College Classrooms, High Schools and Home with our boys. What is an interactive ebook? Initially just ePubs. Nook and Kindle. But then the iPad came out...had some great features. But the stories weren’t that good. And they were often filled with a variety of interactions. Like when PPT came out and people dressed up their slides with all sorts of transitions and builds. Distracts from the message. Tried to understand the process because these weren’t paper books. Not internet reading.

J - It’s not about the APPS. Assumptions that students know how to read. We let devices do the scaffolding. Replacing the need for living, breathing parents. Babysitting? Some programming provides scaffolding. See Toca Boca

H - Based on Garner’s Seductive Details Effect, where students were often distracted by things like “interesting, but unimportant information” (George Washington had wooden teeth), Sidebar informations, etc. found in informational books. These seductive details made it difficult for students to comprehend the main ideas of the text.
We see something similar happening with interactive ebooks used to promote and/or teach reading to young students. We have identified 3 different types of seductive interactions in these texts, some which appear to impede comprehension while others may actually help students to comprehend a text.
