Overview
Mathematics is a subject that has no substitute and is compulsory in all modern schools. It teaches students to have the skills to count as well as perform both simple and technical arithmetical questions. Arithmetic is applicable in all professions thus the need for it to be compulsory in all modern schools globally (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015). Nonetheless, the main stresses associated with arithmetic is, understanding the new concepts in new topics. Many teachers are regarded as the cause of this problem as they fail to understand the concept of comprehension. Many teachers work with the assumption that if students understand the basic rules of mathematics, grasping the new technical terms and formulas can have similar results (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015). This problem is also not rectified by the regulators as they offer little to no support over the matter. It should be understood that students have different levels or varying computing powers. This means that they can easily make errors by either misreading the signs (computational error) or may misunderstand the underlying concept thus using the wrong logic. Overall, there is a common factor with this problem the inability to connect easily the theoretical features of math with reality (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015). The proposed intervention is to use digital or virtual teaching techniques to reduce these problems with the long-term aim of eliminating it. The use of computers or simulations to teach students is not new, as several schools have implemented technology in the curriculum in one mode or the other. The main advantage of this technique is that it implements the broad number of learning techniques allowing the students to familiarize themselves with one. This eliminates the limit set by teachers as they teach the course (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015).
Literature Review
Technology has evolved rapidly in the past decades; it has given way for more processing power, storage capacity and variation in sizes of devices. It has also evolved other sectors in the process such as education; many learning institutions have made the shift from the conventional learning techniques to digital. The main advantage of this shift is that majority of the students are familiar with the operation of these devices, therefore, the need of training is purged. Secondly and most important is that this form of education provides personalized learning, the rate of engagement is higher, students are exposed to competent teaching, assessment of learning is rapid and the quality is higher. As stated earlier, various students have various deficiencies when grasping specific mathem ...
Lessons learned? The digital future of educationTexthelp
As Coronavirus forced schools to close and caused an overnight shift to remote learning, our EdTech Strategist, Patrick, answers key questions on what we have learned during this unprecedented time and what the digital future of education will look like.

The proliferation of technology has re-defined the traditional learning environment. The classical
classroom model of teacher to student delivery is changing as technology becomes more pervasive in
educational environments. In addition, the availability of technology and the breadth of different device
categories and platforms is a stark contrast to the traditional classroom, and the pervasiveness of low-cost
devices provides opportunities to significantly re-define the learning environment. In this paper, we have
developed a real-time feedback mechanism supported by technology to allow students and educators to
assess comprehension in the teaching environment. Real-time feedback is input that is acquired whilst a
teaching practice is ongoing, and the outcomes derived from the feedback mechanism have provided a
strong pedagogical value to the learning environment. These benefits have been clearly elicited by the
academic staff who trialled the system.

11 Challenges in Education Industry (With Solutions)Kavika Roy
Stats report that 65% of educators across the globe are looking for ways to make their lectures more engaging and employ modern digital solutions for teaching. The reason is the competition to leave a mark amongst the top players providing the best education services.
Furthermore, the EdTech software market is projected to register a (CAGR) of 19.9% from 2021 to 2028. Further, if the projections are realized, the revenues would show year-on-year growth of more than 200 million dollars.
While stats and the popularity of EdTech are painting an interesting picture, the ground reality is still in stark contrast. Educators across the globe are still stuck with the age-old syllabi, traditional evaluation methods, and effort-hogging paper generation routines that are loaded with redundancy.

Question 1: The overall merit of the selected technologies over the ones mentioned in the assignment 1
The integration of the instructional technologies within a classroom setup has the potency of transforming the current/ existing/ modern form of education and institutional learning for students (Kilgo et al., 2015). Nevertheless, the emerging technologies on classroom setup have a massive impact during the implementation. As such, it is predictable that future technologies will offer a considerable benefit to all the stakeholders in the learning system. Furthermore, certain varieties of resources can be instituted in the school curriculum to demonstrate the importance of technology to children’s education. Agreeing with Duque (2014), the technology will always have some significant impact on in student learning as it allows the educator to enhance their lesson. Besides, the developing technologies within the education system help learners advance their technology skills, i.e., digital media literacy. Hence, learners will deploy the theoretical frameworks needed for authentic learning, as well as use technology as a cognitive learning tool (Duque, 2014).
Question 2: The similarity and differences between the chosen emerging technologies and the none-chosen emerging technologies addressing:
a.) Addressing the needs and challenges inherent in the educational setting or relating to the scenario in the assignment 1
In the task one, some of the learning technologies mentioned include the digital booklets, the whiteboards, and use of Smart gadgets. These technologies vis-à-vis use of laptops, tablets, the PowerPoint are some of the other mentionable emerging technologies in the education sector. All these features consist of instructional learning tools for any classroom setup. Also, these technologies have a massive impact on the child classroom learning process as they can access different apps and resources. Also, teachers can make use of such technologies to include instructional learning and in improving the student digital media literacy (Pruet et al., 2016). Also, these technologies are flexible enabling students to adapt to new learning.
However, these technologies may not yield positive learning outcome where the educators lack proper skills in using such technologies in the classroom setup. Also, technical problem with setting up the technology may negatively impact its use (Pruet et al., 2016). As such, teachers must be well prepared and given enough time to incorporate such new technologies to appropriately support the learning environment. Such prospect of preparing and collaborating technologies may be time wasting and may involve a lot of technicalities and risks, e.g., software risks, outages, etc.
b.) Important.
A transformational principal plays a vital role in a school development. If I am appointed as a school principal, I will implement the development of technology to fulfill school’s initiative. An efficient technology has countless benefits in learning institutions. For students to perform effectively in the business world, it is important for them to know technology. Advanced technology in most of the schools encourages the use of minimal resources, and at the same time, it serves a significant number of people. Also, the use educational technology boosts student’s performance in school. They can meet the requirements of the instructor easily because there many samples online with a clear outline of how to handle the assignments. Besides, students can access their abilities through the use of technology. This paper discusses the role of technology in learning schools and the responsibilities of transformation principal.

Case Study - Option 3: Barbara
Barbara is a 22 year old woman who has recently graduated from college with a psychology degree. She is currently working as a waitress at a popular restaurant near campus, and says she has always planned to attend law school. Barbara was born in a New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother is an African American who is an assistant manager at a grocery store. Her father is Caucasian and works at a department store. Barbara reports that she was a shy, unattractive child, but that in general her early childhood was "pretty happy." Barbara says that during elementary school, she was constantly harassed by classmates about being of mixed race. Still, she says that she felt very close to her family during this period. She now insists that "I am not black or white, I am me."
Barbara is sexually active and engages in sexual activity with different men at least 1 time a week. Barbara indicates that she does not need protection because she is on the pill. She says she is simply too young to settle down. During her junior year of high school, Barbara had her first serious boyfriend, Morris, who was a high school classmate. She describes the relationship as warm and supportive and they became sexually active during her senior year of high school. They broke up soon after the first sexual interaction. In college, Barbara has dated and she acknowledges some bisexual experimentation. Barbara says that she prefers heterosexual relationships, however.
Although Barbara appears to be a natural athlete, she leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle. She does not exercise regularly and indicates that it is just not enjoyable.
Barbara does not like her job at the restaurant, but seems unwilling to look for other employment. She says that she feels "very jittery" whenever she gets ready for work, and she uses any excuse to take days off. She also refuses to associate with fellow employees, and reports getting very anxious when she was given a surprise birthday party. Recently, she has lost interest in cleaning her house and seldom cooks for herself. She also attends less to her personal grooming.

Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New Reality:
When hackers claiming to support the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad attacked and disabled the website of Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based satellite news channel, in September 2012, the act was another act of hacktivism, purporting to promote a specific political agenda over another. Hacktivism has become a very visible form of expressing dissent. Even though there have been numerous incidents reported by the media, the first case of hacktivism was documented in 1989 when a member of the Cult of the Dead Cow hacker collective named Omega coined the term in 1996. However, hacktivism is not the only form of cyber protest and conflict that has everyone from ICT professionals to governments scrambling for solutions. Individuals, enterprises, and governments alike rely in many instances almost completely on network computing technologies, including cloud computing. The international and ever-evolving nature of the Internet along with inadequate law enforcement and the anonymity the global architecture offers creates opportunities for hackers to attack vulnerable nodes for personal, financial, or political gain.
The Internet is also rapidly becoming the political and advocacy platform of choice, bringing with it both positive and negative consequences. Increasingly sophisticated off-the-shelf technologies and easy access to the Internet are significantly increasing incidents of cyberterrorism, netwars, and cyberwarfare. The following are a few examples.
• According to The Israel Electric Company, Israel is attacked 1,000 times a minute by cyberterrorists targeting the country’s infrastructure—water, electricity, communications, and other services.• The New York Times, quoting military officials, said there was a seventeen-fold increase in cyberattacks targeting the US critical infrastructure between 2009 and 2011.• The 2010 Data Breach Investigations Report has data recording more than 900 instances of computer hacking and other data breaches in the past seven years, resulting in some 900 million compromised records. In 2012, the same study listed 855 breaches, resulting in 174 million compromised records in 2011 alone, up from 4 million in 2010.• Another study of 49 breaches in 2011 reported that the average organizational cost of a data breach (including detection, internal response, notification, post notification cost) was $5.5 million. This number was down from $7.2 million in 2010.14 The Telegraph (London) reported that “India blamed a new ‘cyber-jihad’ by Pakistani militant groups for the exodus of thousands of people from India’s north-eastern minorities from its main southern cities in August after text messages warning them to flee went viral.”
There have been recorded instances of nations allegedly engaging in cyberwarfare. The Center for the Study of Technology and Society has identified five methods by which cyberwarfare can be used as a means of military action. These include defacing or di.

Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation Damn it, .docxcowinhelen
Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation
“Damn it, he's done it again!”
Charlie Newburg had to get up and walk around his office, he was so frustrated. He had been
reviewing the most recent design, parts, and assembly specifications for Global Mobile's latest
smart phone (code named: Nonphixhun) that had been released for production the previous
Thursday. The files had just come back to Charlie's engineering services department with a
caustic note that began, “This one can't be produced, either…” It was the fourth time production
had returned the design.
Newburg, director of engineering for the Global Mobile Corporation, was normally a quiet
person. But the Nonphixhun project was stretching his patience; it was beginning to appear like
several other new products that had hit delays and problems in the transition from design to
production during the eight months Charlie had worked for Global Mobile. These problems were
nothing new at Global Mobile's Asian factory; Charlie's predecessor in the engineering job had
run afoul of them, too, and had finally been fired for protesting too vehemently about the other
departments. But the Nonphixhun phone should have been different. Charlie and the firm's
president, Hannah Hoover, had video-conferenced two months earlier (on July 3, 2006) with the
factory superintendent, Tyson Wang, to smooth the way for the new phone's design. He thought
back to the meeting …
• “Now, we all know there's a tight deadline on the Nonphixhun,” Hannah Hoover said, “and
Charlie's done well to ask us to talk about its introduction. I'm counting on both of you to find
any snags in the system, and to work together to get that first production run out by October
2. Can you do it?” “We can do it in production if we get a clean design two weeks from
now, as scheduled,” answered Tyson Wang, the factory manager. “Charlie and I have already
talked about that, of course. I've spoken with our circuit board and other parts suppliers and
scheduled assembly capacity, and we'll be ready. If the design goes over schedule, though, I'll
have to fill in with other runs, and it will cost us a bundle to break in for the Nonphixhun.
How does it look in engineering, Charlie?” “I've just reviewed the design for the second
time,” Charlie replied. “If Marianne Price can keep the salespeople out of our hair, and avoid
any more last minute changes, we've got a shot. I've pulled my technical support people off of
three other overdue jobs to get this one out. But, Tyson, that means we can't spring engineers
loose to confer with your production people on other manufacturing problems.” “Well
Charlie, most of those problems are caused by the engineers, and we need them to resolve the
difficulties. We've all agreed that production problems come from both of us bowing to sales
pressure, and putting equipment into production before the designs are really ready. That's
just wh.
Case Study #3Apple Suppliers & Labor PracticesWith its h.docxcowinhelen
Case Study #3
Apple Suppliers & Labor Practices
With its highly coveted line of consumer electronics, Apple has a cult following among loyal consumers. During the 2014 holiday season, 74.5 million iPhones were sold. Demand like this meant that Apple was in line to make over $52 billion in profits in 2015, the largest annual profit ever generated from a company’s operations. Despite its consistent financial performance year over year, Apple’s robust profit margin hides a more complicated set of business ethics. Similar to many products sold in the U.S., Apple does not manufacture most its goods domestically. Most of the component sourcing and factory production is done overseas in conditions that critics have argued are dangerous to workers and harmful to the environment.
For example, tin is a major component in Apple’s products and much of it is sourced in Indonesia. Although there are mines that source tin ethically, there are also many that do not. One study found workers—many of them children—working in unsafe conditions, digging tin out by hand in mines prone to landslides that could bury workers alive. About 70% of the tin used in electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets comes from these more dangerous, small-scale mines. An investigation by the BBC revealed how perilous these working conditions can be. In interviews with miners, a 12-yearold working at the bottom of a 70-foot cliff of sand said: “I worry about landslides. The earth slipping from up there to the bottom. It could happen.”
Apple defends its practices by saying it only has so much control over monitoring and regulating its component sources. The company justifies its sourcing practices by saying that it is a complex process, with tens of thousands of miners selling tin, many of them through middle-men. In a statement to the BBC, Apple said “the simplest course of action would be for Apple to unilaterally refuse any tin from Indonesian mines. That would be easy for us to do and would certainly shield us from criticism. But that would also be the lazy and cowardly path, since it would do nothing to improve the situation. We have chosen to stay engaged and attempt to drive changes on the ground.”
In an effort for greater transparency, Apple has released annual reports detailing their work with suppliers and labor practices. While more recent investigations have shown some improvements to suppliers’ working conditions, Apple continues to face criticism as consumer demand for iPhones and other products continues to grow.

Jennifer is a 29-year-old administrative assistant married to Antonio, an Italian engineer, whom Jennifer met four years earlier while on a business trip for her marketing company. The couple now lives in Nebraska, where Antonio works for the county's transportation department and Jennifer commutes an hour each way to her marketing office. They have been trying to start a family for over a year. Eight months ago, Jennifer miscarried in her second month of pregnancy. Antonio's parents love Jennifer and often ask her if she is expecting again, hoping to encourage her to focus on her next baby. Jennifer's mother passed away two years ago and her father's health is rapidly deteriorating. Jennifer faces the probability of placing her father in a skilled nursing care facility within the next few months, against his wishes.
At work, Jennifer runs a tight ship. She is organized and prepares lists to assure that everything is done according to schedule. Everyone counts on Jennifer and she takes pride in never letting people down.
Jennifer has visited her physician numerous times in the last six months, complaining of headaches, backaches, and indigestion. Jennifer insists that she is happy and is not feeling stressed, yet she finds herself making more mistakes at work, unable to keep up with housework, and feeling tired and overwhelmed; she has begun to question her effectiveness as an employee, wife, daughter, and potential mother. Her pains seem to be increasing, but her doctor cannot find a physical cause for her discomfort.

Case Study # 2 –Danny’s Unhappy Duty
Employee Profiles
:
Carol Brown, Danny Winthrop, Thomas Fletcher
Carol, the Department Secretary for Purchasing and General Stores, has been
working at St. Louis Memorial Hospital for sixteen years, four of which have
been for the present Manager, Dan Winthrop. Carol likes her Boss, who gives
his employees more leeway than most. Carol’s main interests are her work and
her home—traits also typical of the other people who work in the Department.
Carol feels she is part of a close, cooperative group of employees.
Dan, or Danny, as he likes to be called, arrived at St. Louis Memorial four years
ago as a replacement for a Department manager who had been at the Hospital
for a number of years. Danny’s predecessor, Bill Taylor, was very strict in
everything from insisting that employees take exactly one-half hour for lunch
breaks to not having a coffee pot in the Department. When Danny came on
board as a Department Manager, his management style was much less strict.
The result was that Danny’s employees were much happier, and began to meet
and exceed expectations in getting their work done. St. Louis Memorial’s
previous CEO was a good friend and frequently complimented Danny on his
efficient and effective staff. Now a new CEO, Thomas Fletcher, has been hired
by the Hospital’s Board of Directors. Things are about to change.
Thomas Fletcher, new CEO and a recent graduate from a superior school of
hospital management, has always believed in “doing things by the book”.
Thomas originally had wanted to become a doctor, but decided two years into
the process that it was going to take him too long, and that he would be better
off becoming an administrator. He likes the idea of being an administrator,
and wants to be a good one. He has decided to start out his career at St. Louis
Memorial, of the smaller hospitals in the St. Louis area, but hopes to progress to a
a much larger facility in about four years, once he develops a track record at
St. Louis Memorial.
The Challenge: Communication, Criticism and Discipline, Leadership, Motivation,
Rules and Policies
Danny knows his employees quite well. They are generally a happy, cohesive, and cooperative group. They joke around a lot among themselves, but get the work done more than satisfactorily. All of them seem to give a

Case Study – Multicultural Parade
Read the Case below, and answer the following questions:
(No references needed, 2 pages double space, label the answer without copying the question in the paper)
1. What images come to mind when you hear the term “costume”? In what ways might it be considered demeaning?
2. Often people conflate “culture,” “ethnicity,” “heritage,” “race,” and “nationality,” or use them interchangeably. How are these concepts different from one another? Is a “Multicultural Day” different than an “International Day”?
3. How is Ms. Morrison’s definition of “cultural clothing” different from her definition of “ethnic heritage”? Did her explanation clarify things for Keisha and Emily?
4. How might activities that require students to share part of their ethnic heritage alienate students or contribute to students’ and teachers’ existing stereotypes and biases?
5. Connect to 3 of the core themes:
(Equity in Education/ Theories of Learning, Culture, and Identity/ Teaching and Learning in a Multicultural Society/ Research and Educational Knowledge )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case Study:
In an effort to celebrate the growing racial and ethnic diversity at Eastern School, the school’s Diversity Committee decided to sponsor Multicultural Day. Numerous performers were hired for assemblies and presentations. During the day’s feature event, the “Culture Parade,” students were asked to showcase cultural clothing as they walked through the hallways. Teachers were encouraged by the committee to discuss clothing from countries outside the United States and to invite students who had such clothing to bring it to school for the parade.
Ms. Morrison was excited about Multicultural Day because many of her students had parents who were immigrants. She imagined the day as an opportunity for those students to teach others about their cultures.
A week before the event, Ms. Morrison brought a kilt to class and explained its significance to the students. “This represents my Scottish heritage,” she said, “and I am proud to show it to you today.” She then asked whether students had “special costumes” at home that represented their cultures. Several students raised their hands, which prompted Ms. Morrison to discuss the events planned for Multicultural Day, including the parade.
During dismissal the day before the parade Ms. Morrison announced, “Don’t forget to bring your costumes to class tomorrow!”
The next day, Ms. Morrison was pleased to see several Hmong and Liberian students came with bags of clothing. She saw that two other students, Emily and Keisha, brought clothing, so she inquired about what was in their bags. Emily, a white student excitedly pulled out her soccer uniform, and Keisha, an African American student, pulled jeans and her favorite sweatshirt out of her bag. Ms. Morrison told the two girls she appreciated the.
Case Study THE INVISIBLE SPONSOR1BackgroundSome execut.docxcowinhelen
Case Study : THE INVISIBLE SPONSOR1
Background
Some executives prefer to micromanage projects whereas other executives
are fearful of making a decision because, if they were to make the wrong
decision, it could impact their career. In this case study, the president of the company assigned one of the vice presidents to act as the project sponsor on a project designed to build tooling for a client. The sponsor, however, was reluctant to make any decisions.
Assigning the VP
Moreland Company was well-respected as a tooling design-and-build
company. Moreland was project-driven because all of its income came
from projects. Moreland was also reasonably mature in project management.
When the previous VP for engineering retired, Moreland hired an executive from a manufacturing company to replace him. The new VP for engineering, Al Zink, had excellent engineering knowledge about tooling but had worked for companies that were not project-driven. Al had very little knowledge about project management and had never functioned as a project sponsor. Because of Al’s lack of experience as a sponsor, the president decided that Al should “get his feet wet” as quickly as possible and assigned him as the project sponsor on a mediumsized project. The project manager on this project was Fred Cutler. Fred was an engineer with more than twenty years of experience in tooling design and manufacturing. Fred reported directly to Al Zink administratively.
Fred's Dilemma
Fred understood the situation; he would have to train Al Zink on how to
function as a project sponsor. This was a new experience for Fred because subordinates usually do not train senior personnel on how to do their job. Would Al Zink be receptive?
Fred explained the role of the sponsor and how there are certain project documents that require the signatures of both the project manager and the project sponsor. Everything seemed to be going well until Fred informed Al that the project sponsor is the person that the president eventually holds accountable for the success or failure of the project. Fred could tell that Al was
quite upset over this statement.
Al realized that the failure of a project where he was the sponsor could damage his reputation and career. Al was now uncomfortable about having to act as a sponsor but knew that he might eventually be assigned as a sponsor on other projects. Al also knew that this project was somewhat of a high risk. If Al could function as an invisible sponsor, he could avoid making any critical decisions.
In the first meeting between Fred and Al where Al was the sponsor, Al asked Fred for a copy of the schedule for the project. Fred responded: I’m working on the schedule right now. I cannot finish the schedule until you tell me whether you want me to lay out the schedule based upon best time, least cost, or least risk.
Al stated that he would think about it and get back to Fred as soon as possible.
During the middle of the next week, Fred and Al m.
CASE STUDY Experiential training encourages changes in work beha.docxcowinhelen
CASE STUDY: Experiential training encourages changes in work behavior and growth in one’s abilities, which is accomplished through a multitude of methods. Experiential training has proven to be cost-effective while motivating employees as well as improving self-awareness, personal accountability, teamwork skills, and communication skills (Ritchie, 2011). Additionally, the training methods provide trainees with direct experience, the opportunity to reflect on that experience, and share models to help trainees to deduce using both present and past experience, while accommodating learning styles and strengths (Ritchie, 2011). Valkanos and Fragoulis identify several reasons why experiential training provides value:
1. Ongoing advances in technology requiring changes in knowledge, skills, and abilities
2. Divergence between theory and practice
3. Mergers and acquisitions of enterprises which tend to bring new jobs, organizational culture, and work content
4. Constant environment of change, from working conditions to processes and procedures relating to organizational issues, quality, and new products or services, and requiring new competencies, duties, or work content (Valkanos & Fragoulis, 2007, p. 22).

BUS 308 Week 2 Lecture 1
Examining Differences - overview
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. The importance of random sampling.
2. The meaning of statistical significance.
3. The basic approach to determining statistical significance.
4. The meaning of the null and alternate hypothesis statements.
5. The hypothesis testing process.
6. The purpose of the F-test and the T-test.
Overview
Last week we collected clues and evidence to help us answer our case question about
males and females getting equal pay for equal work. As we looked at the clues presented by the
salary and comp-ratio measures of pay, things got a bit confusing with results that did not see to
be consistent. We found, among other things, that the male and female compa-ratios were fairly
close together with the female mean being slightly larger. The salary analysis showed a different
view; here we noticed that the averages were apparently quite different with the males, on
average, earning more. Contradictory findings such as this are not all that uncommon when
examining data in the “real world.”
One issue that we could not fully address last week was how meaningful were the
differences? That is, would a different sample have results that might be completely different, or
can we be fairly sure that the observed differences are real and show up in the population as
well? This issue, often referred to as sampling error, deals with the fact that random samples
taken from a population will generally be a bit different than the actual population parameters,
but will be “close” enough to the actual.

Case Study Crocs: Revolutionizing an Industry’s Supply Chain Model for
Competitive Advantage
If the products sell extremely well, we will
build more in season, and will be back on the
shelves in a few weeks. And we’ll build even
more, and even more, and even more, in that
same season. We’re not going to wait with a
hot new product until next year, when hope-
fully the same trend is alive.
—Ronald Snyder, CEO of Crocs, Inc.1
On May 3, 2007, Crocs, Inc. released its results for the
first quarter of the year. The footwear company,
which had sold its first shoes in 2003, reported reve-
nues of $142 million for the quarter, more than three
times its sales for the first quarter of 2006. Net in-
come, at $0.61 per share was more than 17 percent
of sales, nearly four times higher than the previous
year.2 These results far exceeded market expecta-
tions, which had been for earnings of $0.49 per share
on $114 million of revenue.3 As part of the earnings
release, the company announced a two-for-one stock
split. Immediately after the announcement, the stock
price jumped 15 percent.
The growth and profitability of Crocs, which made
funky, brightly colored shoes using an extremely com-
fortable plastic material, had been astounding. Much
of this growth had been made possible by a highly
flexible supply chain which enabled the company to
build additional product to fulfill new orders quickly
within the selling season, allowing it to respond to un-
expectedly high demand—a capability that was previ-
ously unheard of in the footwear industry. This ability
to fulfill the needs of retailers also made the company
a very popular supplier to shoe sellers.
This success also raised questions about how
the company should grow in the future. Should it
vertically integrate or grow through product line
extension? Should it grow organically or through ac-
quisition? Would potential growth paths exploit
Crocs’ core competencies or defocus them?
CROCS, INC.
In 2002, three friends from Boulder, Colorado went
sailing in the Caribbean. One brought a pair of foam
clog shoes that he had bought from a company in
Canada. The clogs were made from a special mate-
rial that did not slip on wet boat decks, was easy
to wash, prevented odor, and was extremely com-
fortable. The three, Lyndon “Duke” Hanson, Scott
Seamans, and George Boedecker, decided to start a
business selling these Canadian shoes to sailing en-
thusiasts out of a leased warehouse in Florida, as
Hanson said, “so we could work when we went on
sailing trips there.”4 The founders wanted to name
the shoes something that captured the amphibious
nature of the product. Since “Alligator” had already
been taken, they chose to name the shoes “Crocs.”
The shoes were an immediate success, and word
of mouth expanded the customer base to a wide
range of people who spent much of their days stand-
ing, such as doctors and gardeners. In October 2003,
as the business began to grow, th.

The Veterans Health Administration:
Taking Home Telehealth Services to
Scale Nationally
Andrew Broderick
ABSTRACT: Since the 1990s, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has used infor-
mation and communications technologies to provide high-quality, coordinated, and com-
prehensive primary and specialist care services to its veteran population. Within the VHA,
the Office of Telehealth Services offers veterans a program called Care Coordination/
Home Telehealth (CCHT) to provide routine noninstitutional care and targeted care man-
agement and case management services to veterans with diabetes, congestive heart fail-
ure, hypertension, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other conditions. The program uses
remote monitoring devices in veterans’ homes to communicate health status and to cap-
ture and transmit biometric data that are monitored remotely by care coordinators. CCHT
has shown promising results: fewer bed days of care, reduced hospital admissions, and
high rates of patient satisfaction. This issue brief highlights factors critical to the VHA’s
success—like the organization’s leadership, culture, and existing information technology
infrastructure—as well as opportunities and challenges.
OVERVIEW
Since the 1990s, information and communications technologies—including tele-
health—have been at the core of the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA’s)
successful system-level transformation toward providing continuous, coordinated,
and comprehensive primary and specialist care services. The VHA’s leadership
and culture; underlying health information technology infrastructure; and strong
commitment to standardized work processes, policies, and training have all con-
tributed to the home telehealth program’s success in meeting the chronic care
needs of a population of aging veterans and reducing their use of institutional
care and its associated costs. The home teleheath model also encourages patient
activation, self-management, and helps in the early detection of complications.

Overview
Mathematics is a subject that has no substitute and is
compulsory in all modern schools. It teaches students to have
the skills to count as well as perform both simple and technical
arithmetical questions. Arithmetic is applicable in all
professions thus the need for it to be compulsory in all modern
schools globally (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015).
Nonetheless, the main stresses associated with arithmetic is,
understanding the new concepts in new topics. Many teachers
are regarded as the cause of this problem as they fail to
understand the concept of comprehension. Many teachers work
with the assumption that if students understand the basic rules
of mathematics, grasping the new technical terms and formulas
can have similar results (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015).
This problem is also not rectified by the regulators as they offer
little to no support over the matter. It should be understood that
2. students have different levels or varying computing powers.
This means that they can easily make errors by either
misreading the signs (computational error) or may
misunderstand the underlying concept thus using the wrong
logic. Overall, there is a common factor with this problem the
inability to connect easily the theoretical features of math with
reality (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015). The proposed
intervention is to use digital or virtual teaching techniques to
reduce these problems with the long-term aim of eliminating it.
The use of computers or simulations to teach students is not
new, as several schools have implemented technology in the
curriculum in one mode or the other. The main advantage of this
technique is that it implements the broad number of learning
techniques allowing the students to familiarize themselves with
one. This eliminates the limit set by teachers as they teach the
course (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015).
Literature Review
Technology has evolved rapidly in the past decades; it has
given way for more processing power, storage capacity and
variation in sizes of devices. It has also evolved other sectors in
the process such as education; many learning institutions have
made the shift from the conventional learning techniques to
digital. The main advantage of this shift is that majority of the
students are familiar with the operation of these devices,
therefore, the need of training is purged. Secondly and most
important is that this form of education provides personalized
learning, the rate of engagement is higher, students are exposed
to competent teaching, assessment of learning is rapid and the
quality is higher. As stated earlier, various students have
various deficiencies when grasping specific mathematical
techniques, with digital learning the student are exposed to
various processes until they identify one they are most
comfortable with. This personalized learning technique gives
way to the higher engagement rates as students are taught the
same mathematical concept, with the only difference being they
3. use different approaches that they understand. This change has
also eliminated the use of outdated and complicated techniques
that have resulted in the poor performance of several students.
The technology will also be easily regulated thus allowing
students to not only access quality but also competent
education. Advancements in internet speeds have also made it
possible for students not to be limited in learning in school
alone but also in their respective residential areas. The internet
connection allows teachers to monitor their progress and
provide assistance where needed. This paper will expound on
these factors as well as provide the needed data both qualitative
and quantitative that will be needed to appreciate the
advantages of digital education.
Advantages of Digital Education
One of the main benefits of this intervention is that it
allows the students to be self-driven thus grasping a technique
that is personalized to their capacity. Therefore, it allows the
students to learn new concepts more easily thus giving way to
students that are more capable. It also sharpens their skills by
developing their analytical reasoning. This is important as it
eliminates the problem earlier stated of many students not
understanding the underlying concepts. The next advantage is
that it makes the students more accountable, by giving them the
broad range of techniques; it is the student’s duty to familiarize
themselves with at least one. With random and frequent
retention tests, the determination of the student is tested.
Finally, digital learning leads to increased involvement of both
parents, teachers as teachers find it easier to group students, and
parents provide the needed support for the educational benefit
of the students.
Intervention Plan
The intervention will have to follow a specific plan for its
implementation; first, the number of students who will be used
4. for the data collection will have to be listed allowing the correct
procurement statement to be developed. After the sample group
has been identified, permission letters will have to be sent to
the district education office as well to the students. This
formality is necessary as the intervention is not official and the
students are minors’ therefore parental consent will be needed
(Kiger & Herro, 2015). As the responses from the respective
parties are to be received, the appropriate platform will be
selected with the learner being centered. This will allow the
students to be held accountable for their education, as the
platform will provide them with various techniques that will be
needed to grasp mathematics more easily. The fourth stage of
the intervention plan will commence after feedback has been
given by the district education board as well as approval for the
students in the sample group. It will involve the specification of
the platform being used to the students, teachers, and
representatives from the education board as well as PTA
(parent-teacher association) (Tyner, 2014). This formality is
necessary, as it will be used to identify that the digital platform
is not a replacement for the conventional teacher but places the
teacher as the leader. This means for any inquiries over the
platform of the topic the representatives and students
respectively will address them to the teachers. The fifth step
will be the evaluation of the intervention with data being
collected through observation, testing, and questionnaires. From
the intervention plan, some of the expected results would be
students in the digital learning platform to have better
engagement towards the topic, better results in tests and more
optimism towards mathematics over the semester-long period of
the research. The main stakeholders after viewing these results
are expected to implement e-learning as the new norm as it
promotes performance.
Teaching Philosophy
In teaching, the main driving philosophy is the provision
of effective teaching thus helping students appreciate the bigger
picture towards education. With the implementation of e-
5. learning, teaching will be made more effective and efficient
thus encouraging students to be more analytical thinkers (Tyner,
2014). Moreover, digital learning will change the environment
of education towards student-centered learning environment
considering they are the main stakeholders in the education
sector.
Social Principles
It is important to understand that education is a dynamic
ideal that evolves in more or less the same manner as a society.
This interrelation has resulted in society ranking education as
having the highest value. This intervention plan will appreciate
this notion by encouraging students to be accountable for their
own education (Tyner, 2014). Moreover, the digital platform
will allow students to imparted with the most recent and
verified education.
Harm
This intervention is very important and called for as most
institutions use outdated teaching techniques that have been
approved by the regulators. Majority of learning institutions use
techniques that were coined in the late 1960s and late 1980s
(Pynoo et al, 2011). This period experienced vast changes and
therefore education changed with it. Nonetheless, the digital
learning intervention has proven to be dynamic in the same
manner as society and information. This platform will expose
the students to approved information and techniques thus not
limiting them to one notion that is taught by the educators
(Pynoo et al, 2011).
Protection
The internet of things has proven not to be a safe
environment for acts such as cyberbullying and others.
Therefore, with the stronger relationship formulated between
teachers and parents or guardians towards digital learning a
monitoring strategy can be designed. Moreover, the devices
used by the students will be limited to the sites that offer only
educational benefit. These are the best strategies in place that
can protect the students from unwanted exposure.
6. Bias
To ensure that each student is tested without bias
considering various techniques that use various amounts of time
are presented to them some form of standardization will be
implemented. First, all the students will be tested with the same
question, secondly, the longest techniques will be used to set
the timing of the test (Pynoo et al, 2011).

CASE STUDY
Angela is a White 17-year-old girl who is also the mother of a
baby named Adam, now 11 months of age. Both Angela and her
baby live with Angela’s mother, Sarah, in a small rented house
in a semirural community in the Midwest. Sarah, a single
mother herself, works as a food server in a local restaurant.
Sarah has another child, David, who is 13. Angela’s father
abandoned the family when she was 7 years old. Wayne,
Angela’s boyfriend and Adam’s father, has also become
estranged primarily because Sarah refuses to allow him in her
house. She is angry that Angela became pregnant and views
Wayne as incapable of, and uninterested in, taking on his share
7. of the responsibility. During her pregnancy, Angela continued
to attend classes at her high school. She dropped out, however,
when she was 7 months pregnant. She had grown increasingly
depressed about the prospect of caring for an infant, and she
found dealing with schoolwork and her pregnancy
overwhelming. Following Adam’s birth, Angela tried hard to be
a good mother to her son. She took on most of the caretaking
responsibilities by herself, which gave her some measure of
satisfaction. However, she also felt deeply ambivalent. Above
all, she resented the restrictions that the baby placed on her life.
Adam’s frequent crying for no apparent reason was particularly
frustrating. According to Angela, Adam cried even when he was
not hungry or wet. Sometimes she handled Adam roughly, when
he wouldn’t quiet down after a feeding or around bedtime. At
other times, Angela was upset that Adam didn’t seem to smile
enough at her when she wanted to play with him. Sometimes,
Adam paid no attention to her when she wanted interaction. At
these times, she would raise her voice and hold his face in her
hands to make him look at her. She was beginning to feel that
she was not a very good mother to her son after all. Sarah and
Angela’s already strained relationship grew more hostile as
Adam approached his first birthday. Angela felt that her mother
wasn’t interested in helping her. Angela always idealized her
father and believed that it was her mother’s frequent outbursts
of anger that led to her father’s leaving home. For her part,
Sarah believed that her daughter wasn’t doing enough to help
herself. Angela chose not to go back to school, even though she
could have access to school-based child care services. All
through Angela’s high school years, Sarah had expected her
daughter to find a steady job after graduation and to contribute
to the family financially. Instead, Sarah found herself in the
role of financial provider for another child. She was very angry
and hurt that Angela didn’t seem to appreciate all she had done
for her over the years. Whenever the mother and daughter had
an argument, Angela would say that she felt her mother never
really cared about her. What was even worse for Sarah was that
8. Angela had begun seeing Wayne again, without her mother’s
permission. She made it clear to Angela that she and the baby
would need to move out if she ever got pregnant again.
Discussion Questions
1. Comment on the quality of the attachment relationship
between Angela and Adam and between Sarah and Angela. Do
you think that Adam is at risk for developmental problems?
Discuss.
2. Using the model of intergenerational transmission of
attachment presented in this chapter, discuss the transmission
sequence as it applies in this case.
3. What kinds of interventions could you suggest to help the
members of this family?
CASE STUDY
Terry and Bill, married for 5 years, are a Black couple who live
in a small suburban community. Terry graduated from high
school and worked as a receptionist before her marriage to Bill,
a communications company manager. Because both of them
believed that mothers should stay at home with young children,
Terry quit her job when she had her first child, who is now an
intense and active 4-year-old daughter named Dawn. Both
parents were very attentive to their daughter and enjoyed caring
for and playing with her when she was a baby. As Dawn got
older, she became more active and assertive. When Dawn
fussed, resisted, or showed frustration, Terry was patient and
affectionate with her. She was able to coax Dawn out of her bad
temper by making up little games that Dawn enjoyed. Both
Terry and Bill liked Dawn’s spirited personality. Because her
parents wanted her to have access to playmates, Dawn attended
a church-related program for toddlers and preschoolers three
mornings a week. When Dawn was 3 years old, Terry gave birth
to the couple’s second child, a son named Darren. Soon after the
baby’s birth, the family learned that Darren had a congenital
heart problem that would require ongoing medical treatment and
9. a specific regimen of care at home. Darren was an irritable
baby. He fussed for long periods and was very difficult for
Terry to soothe. Because of Darren’s need for medical care and
the limitations of Bill’s medical insurance, the couple soon
found themselves in financial difficulty. Bill began to take on
overtime work at the company to subsidize some of the bills and
was away from the home several nights a week and part of each
weekend. Terry found the care of two demanding young
children and the worries about money to be increasingly more
stressful. She was always tired and seemed to have less patience
with her family. whereas she once had the leisure time to read
to Dawn, to take her for walks, and to help her master tasks that
proved frustrating, Terry now had to shift her attention to the
care of her medically fragile infant. Because Dawn looked so
grown-up compared to the vulnerable newborn, Terry began to
perceive her daughter as able to do many things for herself.
When Dawn demonstrated her neediness by clinging or whining,
Terry became abrupt and demanded that Dawn stop. Many
battles revolved around Terry’s new rule that Dawn have a nap
or “quiet time” each afternoon so that mother and baby could
get some rest. One day, Dawn’s preschool teacher, Mrs. Adams,
asked to speak with Terry. Mrs. Adams noted that Dawn’s
behavior was becoming a problem in the morning preschool
sessions. Dawn had begun throwing toys when she became upset
and often refused to cooperate in group activities. Terry was
greatly embarrassed to hear about her daughter’s misbehavior.
Dawn was the only Black child in the small class, and her
mother wondered if this was part of the problem. When Terry
got home, she put her tearful, clinging daughter in her room for
time-out for being bad at school. She loved Dawn, but she could
not tolerate this kind of behavior, especially when Darren
needed so much of her time. She began to wonder if she and Bill
had spoiled their daughter. Terry feared that Dawn would have
problems when it came time for her to enter kindergarten if they
didn’t take a strong stand with her now.
Discussion Questions 1. Explain Dawn’s behavior from an
10. attachment point of view. How would you describe Dawn’s
attachment history?
2. Describe Terry’s parenting style. Has the style changed?
What suggestions would you make to Terry and Bill about
handling this problem?
3. What are some of the contextual influences on Dawn’s
behavior?
