Introduction
Technology is very important and each and every entity should aim at ensuring that they integrate technology in their operations. In the past years, most institutions that offer education have attempted to make use of technology (Collins, 2018). There are various technologies that have been invented and already put into use in schools. However, institutions should be very keen to integrate technologies that only make learning easier and not those that distract learning activities. For instance, after the invention of iPads, most schools started using them while learning. Although the technology had its own advantages, there was no any educational benefit gained by its integration.
A chrome book is a kind of a laptop that is a bit different from the other common laptops that are used by individuals. The Chrome book is different from the other laptops because of its operating system. Chrome books use the Google operating system while the other laptops majorly use Microsoft. In the recent times, most institutions have introduced the usage of chrome books in learning activities. Research shows that chrome books have more strength in learning as compared to the weaknesses. Similarly, chrome books have encouraged career development in schools. A student who intends to major in the field of technology will have an easy time in the future (Taylor, 2015).
Study blue also is a major technology in education that is being integrated into institutions of learning. Study blue is basically an app that can be found even in phones. Teachers who use study blue in teaching create flashcards and issue them to students. The students make use of these flash cards so as to review educational material concerning the specific topic. The study blue app is in such a way as a library where students can access all the materials that they want at one point. The app has helped to improve education as it gives students a variety of information to use while carrying out their studies.
Class description
A class of students in the lower grade who majorly used iPads before the introduction of the chrome books will now be able to carry out various activities which were difficult when using the iPads and tablets. When the schools introduce chrome books for use by the students, the junior students will have an easy time in learning since chrome books are easy to use and understand. Similarly, chrome books will reduce the workload that the junior students are subjected to. Therefore, by introducing chrome books in studies the juniors will be able to have an easy time in learning and still attain education goals.

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.

Impacts of Technology in Classrooms
In the last four decades, continuous research has been conducted on the impacts of technology in the lives of people. While no consensus has been reached, it may be argued that in many aspects of society, technology has both positive and negative impacts. Educational institutions have embraced technology to some extent in the management of the academic load of both the teachers and the students. According to a 2012 study, students are more engaged when technology is involved in their education process which results in improved retention of the learned information (Page). Other studies argue that more harm has resulted from the adoption of technology. While this article hypothesizes that technology in education is advantageous as it empowers all individuals involved in the learning process, the paper will address some of the aspects highlighted regarding the adoption and use of technology.

Impacts of Technology in Classrooms
In over forty years,researchers have shown the impacts of technology and have been so essential in our day to day lives. Technology affects many areas of a society both positively and negatively. In modern –days, most schools have embraced technology as an aid for teachers and students to enhance their schoolwork. Students get more engaged where technology is involved, thus making them retain more information (Page 2012). However, some argue that technology has brought more harm than good and a few will be discussed in this essay. My stand is dwelling on the advantageous side of technology in empowering every party involved.
Technology is a medium for providing distance learning. In olden days, students could take distance courses at community colleges or universities after which they would receive course documents in the mail. They would then be required to send assignments to their teachers at the educational institution, and this process could be long and complicated. In this era, students can take courses over the internet which is so convenient and still qualify to work in the fields related to those courses (Page 2012). This has made it easier for working students who cannot get access to educational institutions.
However, technology is sometimes misused by learners. In as much as technology has drastically impro ...

Technology in Education
The topic regarding technology being used in education has been highly debated with some individuals supporting the thoughts while others highly refuting it. However, one thing that is evident is that in this age and era, technology has been touching many people’s lives in all rounds. It means that even if technology is not introduced in education, in one way or another, the children/students will find themselves interacting with it. Today, mobile phones are perfect example of technology which is owned by almost everyone across the world. At the same time, since the introduction of computers, many people today have their own ones which they use to acquire information from the internet or use for personal benefits such as playing games. Based on these underlying facts, it will not be fair for schools to be lagging behind in integrating technology in their classroom learning to offer better learning experience for both the teachers and the students (Edutopia 1). It is important for the students to be allowed to explore in details the potentials of technology for learning while the teachers become aware of its benefits in teaching. When technology is properly used, it will help the students to obtain the necessary and right skills that they need in order to survive in the current computerized and highly technical based economy. Technology in education should be initiated as a new discipline in learning because of its effectiveness in promoting learning exp ...

The Impacts of Technology on Students’’ Education Comment by pckmobile50: Papers that follow the MLA style of formatting include, in the upper left hand corner of the page, your name, your teacher’s name, your class, and the date. Immediately after this you must place the title centered on a separate line. The header of an MLA paper is flush right and contains your last name and the page number. In addition, MLA papers are to be double spaced, have a ½ inch indent on the first line of each paragraph, and be in a serif font (such as Times New Roman). Therefore, I have ensured your paper meets these guidelines.
Students in the classroom are increasingly on their smartphones and laptops each day. The communication between teachers and students is slowly but surely deteriorating. Using technology such as cell-phonescellphones and computers is becoming the norm, and is used to access social media at anywhere and anytime is becoming the norm. From an educational point of view, the use of technology presents numerous problems to both teachers and students inside and outside of athe classroom. The communication between teachers and students is slowly but surely deteriorating. With theThe introduction of technology within the classroom environment, there have been has resulted in negative consequences of technology on education. ModernizationThe modernization of education has caused three main problems offor the educational learning process. These problems of technology are reflected through the negative impacts of technology inon students’’ education. Students are receiving less knowledge because of the impacts of technology, they are not learning as much as they could be learning without technology, and students isare limiting their potential by using technology for their educational goals because it, which allows students to study using using less effort on their part. Comment by pckmobile50: Please note that MLA doesn’t allow text to be justified (MLA Handbook 4.2) so I aligned it left. Comment by PCKMobile36: Here you set this up as though this is the order you are going to discuss the issues in, however that is not the case throughout the body of the text.
Using technology in education decreases the amount of knowledge that is gained by students in the classroom. Before the use of technology such as the Internet, students faced more challenges in listening to teachers, focusing their attention, understanding new information, retaining it, and analyzing information. As students use electronic devices more, they will have more difficulties with being absorbed in their studies. Although students try to learn through their smart phonesmartphones and computers, those electronic devices have more negative effects on education than advantages.
The process of educational modernization leads to a decrease in the amount of knowledge provided and gained in the classroom and has negative c.

What are the Pros and Cons on how Technology has changed teaching techniques for teachers?
Solution
List of the Advantages of Technology in Education
1. Promotes independent learning in students
The internet is a treasure trove of information. Practically anything you need to know can be
found online. Although there is a question of the credibility of the source and the data provided,
it can still serve as an educational resource for students. Even without assistance from parents
and teachers, students can just look up their lessons online.
Unlike regular textbooks, electronic books and web-based content are updated in real time,
feeding students with the most current information they can get their hands on, helping them
become more knowledgeable even outside the classroom setting.
2. Prepares students for the future
From the way technological advancements are going, it is obvious that the future will be digital
and technology-focused. If students are well-versed on using technology to collaborate and
communicate as early as now, they will not have trouble fitting in, competing and finding jobs in
the future. Being familiar with using at least one form of technology at an early age will help
them become comfortable using it, and eventually develop other skills necessary to handle other
innovative devices and processes.
3. Has the potential to lower textbook and tuition prices
With resources more accessible and in great abundance, the cost of textbooks is likely to
decrease. It is also possible that students may no longer need to buy a textbook, if it is converted
into digital format. The actual books can stay in the classroom, while the content is saved on a
student’s computer.
Tuition will also decrease when learning is done online, rather than inside the classroom. By
taking out the factors that contribute to a higher tuition fee, such as utility bills and transportation
allowance of teachers, the overall cost of education will be lower.
4. Allows teachers to create an exciting way to educate students
Gone are the days when the only tools for teaching are limited to books, a blackboard or
whiteboard, and a chalk or markers. With technology integrated to education, teachers can now
incorporate images, videos and other graphics when delivering lessons. Specific websites, apps
and programs will also enable teachers to vary how they provide instructions. This creates an
exciting learning environment and promotes interest in education in general.
Other tools available for teachers include Smart Boards (interactive whiteboards), email Skype,
and PowerPoint.
5. Encourages development of new teaching methods
Rather than spend an hour or so talking while the students listen, or have them read an entire
chapter in silence, teachers and professors now have the option to use advanced teaching
methods, such as podcasts, blogs and social media. When working with a particular group or
one-on-one, teachers can take advantage of web conferencing technologie.

In this introduction, you will describe the purpose of your paper (the first rubric element) – in other words, what your paper sets out to do. This video provides some guidance on how to structure an introductory paragraph. In this case, you are providing a microeconomic analysis of a particular company and you will analyze different microeconomic criteria related to your company and the market in which it operates. This analysis will then inform your recommendations for how the company can be successful in the future. Be sure to provide some specifics about what you will be analyzing so the reader knows what to expect – use the outline provided in the Final Project Document as your guide. Lastly, make sure that the company you choose is well suited for this kind of analysis. Please see the suggested list provided in your course for ideas and email your instructor your choice. Any company not on the list will need prior approval.History of the Company
Use headings and subheadings to organize the sections of your paper. The first heading level is formatted with initial caps and is centered on the page. Do not start a new page for each heading. This first heading aligns with the second rubric element which gives an overview of the company’s history. Be sure to personalize this heading to reflect your company. In this section, include you will summarize the history of the firm and also provide an overview of what the firm does and what goods/services it sells. Be sure to include sufficient detail here.

Supply and Demand Conditions
There are two rubric elements to be included in this section and combined they should be about 2 pages in length, perhaps longer if you present more than one graph/table. The first element asks you to evaluate the trends in demand over time and explain their impact on the industry and on the firm. To do this, you can consider market demand. Market demand is the demand by all the consumers of a given good or service. Find out who your customers are and provide detail on them. Use annual sales data to find out how much of the product is purchased. Here is a video explaining each of the following determinants of market demand that you could examine for your company’s market:
· Income
· Price of related goods
· Tastes
· Population and Demographics

Impacts of Technology in Classrooms
In over forty years,researchers have shown the impacts of technology and have been so essential in our day to day lives. Technology affects many areas of a society both positively and negatively. In modern –days, most schools have embraced technology as an aid for teachers and students to enhance their schoolwork. Students get more engaged where technology is involved, thus making them retain more information (Page 2012). However, some argue that technology has brought more harm than good and a few will be discussed in this essay. My stand is dwelling on the advantageous side of technology in empowering every party involved.
Technology is a medium for providing distance learning. In olden days, students could take distance courses at community colleges or universities after which they would receive course documents in the mail. They would then be required to send assignments to their teachers at the educational institution, and this process could be long and complicated. In this era, students can take courses over the internet which is so convenient and still qualify to work in the fields related to those courses (Page 2012). This has made it easier for working students who cannot get access to educational institutions.
However, technology is sometimes misused by learners. In as much as technology has drastically impro ...

Technology in Education
The topic regarding technology being used in education has been highly debated with some individuals supporting the thoughts while others highly refuting it. However, one thing that is evident is that in this age and era, technology has been touching many people’s lives in all rounds. It means that even if technology is not introduced in education, in one way or another, the children/students will find themselves interacting with it. Today, mobile phones are perfect example of technology which is owned by almost everyone across the world. At the same time, since the introduction of computers, many people today have their own ones which they use to acquire information from the internet or use for personal benefits such as playing games. Based on these underlying facts, it will not be fair for schools to be lagging behind in integrating technology in their classroom learning to offer better learning experience for both the teachers and the students (Edutopia 1). It is important for the students to be allowed to explore in details the potentials of technology for learning while the teachers become aware of its benefits in teaching. When technology is properly used, it will help the students to obtain the necessary and right skills that they need in order to survive in the current computerized and highly technical based economy. Technology in education should be initiated as a new discipline in learning because of its effectiveness in promoting learning exp ...

The Impacts of Technology on Students’’ Education Comment by pckmobile50: Papers that follow the MLA style of formatting include, in the upper left hand corner of the page, your name, your teacher’s name, your class, and the date. Immediately after this you must place the title centered on a separate line. The header of an MLA paper is flush right and contains your last name and the page number. In addition, MLA papers are to be double spaced, have a ½ inch indent on the first line of each paragraph, and be in a serif font (such as Times New Roman). Therefore, I have ensured your paper meets these guidelines.
Students in the classroom are increasingly on their smartphones and laptops each day. The communication between teachers and students is slowly but surely deteriorating. Using technology such as cell-phonescellphones and computers is becoming the norm, and is used to access social media at anywhere and anytime is becoming the norm. From an educational point of view, the use of technology presents numerous problems to both teachers and students inside and outside of athe classroom. The communication between teachers and students is slowly but surely deteriorating. With theThe introduction of technology within the classroom environment, there have been has resulted in negative consequences of technology on education. ModernizationThe modernization of education has caused three main problems offor the educational learning process. These problems of technology are reflected through the negative impacts of technology inon students’’ education. Students are receiving less knowledge because of the impacts of technology, they are not learning as much as they could be learning without technology, and students isare limiting their potential by using technology for their educational goals because it, which allows students to study using using less effort on their part. Comment by pckmobile50: Please note that MLA doesn’t allow text to be justified (MLA Handbook 4.2) so I aligned it left. Comment by PCKMobile36: Here you set this up as though this is the order you are going to discuss the issues in, however that is not the case throughout the body of the text.
Using technology in education decreases the amount of knowledge that is gained by students in the classroom. Before the use of technology such as the Internet, students faced more challenges in listening to teachers, focusing their attention, understanding new information, retaining it, and analyzing information. As students use electronic devices more, they will have more difficulties with being absorbed in their studies. Although students try to learn through their smart phonesmartphones and computers, those electronic devices have more negative effects on education than advantages.
The process of educational modernization leads to a decrease in the amount of knowledge provided and gained in the classroom and has negative c.

What are the Pros and Cons on how Technology has changed teaching techniques for teachers?
Solution
List of the Advantages of Technology in Education
1. Promotes independent learning in students
The internet is a treasure trove of information. Practically anything you need to know can be
found online. Although there is a question of the credibility of the source and the data provided,
it can still serve as an educational resource for students. Even without assistance from parents
and teachers, students can just look up their lessons online.
Unlike regular textbooks, electronic books and web-based content are updated in real time,
feeding students with the most current information they can get their hands on, helping them
become more knowledgeable even outside the classroom setting.
2. Prepares students for the future
From the way technological advancements are going, it is obvious that the future will be digital
and technology-focused. If students are well-versed on using technology to collaborate and
communicate as early as now, they will not have trouble fitting in, competing and finding jobs in
the future. Being familiar with using at least one form of technology at an early age will help
them become comfortable using it, and eventually develop other skills necessary to handle other
innovative devices and processes.
3. Has the potential to lower textbook and tuition prices
With resources more accessible and in great abundance, the cost of textbooks is likely to
decrease. It is also possible that students may no longer need to buy a textbook, if it is converted
into digital format. The actual books can stay in the classroom, while the content is saved on a
student’s computer.
Tuition will also decrease when learning is done online, rather than inside the classroom. By
taking out the factors that contribute to a higher tuition fee, such as utility bills and transportation
allowance of teachers, the overall cost of education will be lower.
4. Allows teachers to create an exciting way to educate students
Gone are the days when the only tools for teaching are limited to books, a blackboard or
whiteboard, and a chalk or markers. With technology integrated to education, teachers can now
incorporate images, videos and other graphics when delivering lessons. Specific websites, apps
and programs will also enable teachers to vary how they provide instructions. This creates an
exciting learning environment and promotes interest in education in general.
Other tools available for teachers include Smart Boards (interactive whiteboards), email Skype,
and PowerPoint.
5. Encourages development of new teaching methods
Rather than spend an hour or so talking while the students listen, or have them read an entire
chapter in silence, teachers and professors now have the option to use advanced teaching
methods, such as podcasts, blogs and social media. When working with a particular group or
one-on-one, teachers can take advantage of web conferencing technologie.
A TOUR OF THE STUDENT’S E-LEARNING PUDDLEacijjournal
E-learning has revolutionized our realm in more than just a listable number of ways. But it took a
paradigm shift when it entered the threshold of the varsity system. With the prevailing spoon-feeding era,
are the students really industry ready? We answer that by confirming afact: web-based learning has
become the oxygen of freshers in the IT Industry instead of the traditionallearning done through
graduation. Furthermore, are university enforced e-learning assessment systems a true representation of a

Introduction: What is currently standing in my way of achieving these goals?I intend to do is a complete turnaround and modification of behavior and perspective in how to be better in leadership. One of the first crucial changes involves changing my habits and specifically ensuring that I am well informed on issues that affect the individuals under my leadership. This is in line with opening communication more and avoiding seclusion and being alone as it is the role of a leader to be always communicating or around his followers at most times. More crucial is to change how I conduct decision making and implement more logical and practical consideration to every situation as it is always good to find an advantage for everybody. To lead the mission to a fruitful conclusion, a leader must establish priorities and utilize the talents, creativity, resources and energy of his followers, generally imperfect individuals, and empower them to rise to and occasionally beyond their previously assumed potential. Great leaders establish a plan, a map to help them organize and ensure they have an appropriate and effective team in place, clearly communicate the plan to and lead their followers to the destination (Jackson, 2012)
Personal values: Needless to say, “all leaders, all human beings, have values. Values are beliefs that represent an individual’s ideas about what is right, good or desirable (Robbins, S. P. & Judge T. A., 2011, p. 144). My philosophy on leadership is founded on my collective life experiences, reflections, successes, and failures. I see a great correlation in terms of how leaders and followers come to meet and get a way forward. As such, I should express more respect for the leaders and followers that are able to listen and interact with me as it shows they support some of my opinions in terms of strength through relationships. I intend to essentially align and try to use my values as a guideline in everything I participate in and everything I say in my work, my relationships and in my family. Also, it is the nature of humans to make errors once in a while but not too often. As such, it is important to be more compassionate and understanding in order to provide an opportunity for them and me to learn from it as their failures are my failures. The manner in which contribution is usually provided is at times not appreciated and as a leader it is crucial to recognize efforts made in a team work setting.
What do I want to make out of my life? This requires a clear vision in order for it to be implemented. This means that I have to lay own my agenda and goals in order to be more accurate in achieving the overall development and growth. This should be in line with my work ethic and beliefs in order for it to be effective and more professional. This would provide me .

Introduction
Electronic Health Record (EHR) is the computerized storage and sharing of patients’ health information to help in continuous monitoring of the patients’ health (Shickel B., 2017). This is a system developed to enable health clinics share information that can help in providing effective medication to the patients with different kinds of health needs. The data on patients is stored and accessed by the clinics during visits from the patient which will help in care management of the patients. An electronic health record system can be helpful as the information stored consist of medical history of a patient, laboratory tests, treatment plans, immunization dates and various allergies of the patients. This is helpful when the patient visits different clinic health providers where they will not need to explain the situations over and over again.
Electronic health record system automates information sharing and reduces the traditional paper work which was tiresome and had a great risk of losing information. With the HER, information on patients is kept in a secure system where only authorized persons can access it. Errors are minimized in provision of health care since the information kept can be more accurate and available at any given time.
Wasatch Family Clinic will greatly benefit from this strategy of recording, keeping and sharing of information on patients. The nurses can use the system to easily record the patients’ names, numbers and all other critical information required during scheduling for clinical attendance of any patient. Tracing of the information will be easier compared to using the traditional form of papers in storing information for a patient.
Need to share data
Information on health status of a patient has to be kept with care and only authorized persons can be able to access them. This helps in building ethical handling of patients’ information which creates their trust on the health care providers (Drazen J., 2015).
Wasatch Family Clinic needs to share their health data with the patients for them to understand their health issues. The clinic also needs to share data with other health facilities in order to increase the patient’s safety and a great care.
Duplicate registrations will be avoided by sharing data in the different departments of the health care center. A real-time link can be created for the patients from registration, through consultation, testing and final medication. This can save Wasatch family Clinic from traditional paper work which took most time when searching for medical records of a patient at every stage in the clinic. Time can also be saved when the information of the patient is a system shared by the departments of the clinic health center.
Wasatch Family Clinic will also benefit economically when the data is shared improving service time and hence reducing.

Serial murderer – an introduction
The crime of manslaughter has been known for a long time, to be specifically the early 1600’s but the initial case of a serial murderer was in the year 1888, named, Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated five prostitutes in the East London. Field experts have stated that at any time, the United States has around 50 active serial murderers, owing to the fact that arroba the year multiple homicides have occurred. Now the question arises, who is a serial killer?
A person possessing a specific emotional drive to kill mercilessly is termed as a serial murderer. These murders, killings, manslaughters, or homicides are generally done in a different way that distinguishes one serial murderer from another. The killer often has a sign that they are distinguished with. Serial murderers are kept in the page as being mass- slayers. The only difference being that serial murderers do not naturally kill the way mass murderers/ slayers do, i.e. mass slayers don’t leave breaks in committing the merciless murders. On the other hand, serial murderers tend to have a distinct feature that reflects the fact that they are murderers with a psychotic overdrive (Ellens, 2011).
Jeffrey Dahmer
Nearly 25 years ago, one of America’s most infamous serial murderers, Jeffrey Dahmer, a paedophile, and a cannibal, was confronted, attacked and mercilessly slayed while cleaning the bathroom of a prison. His span of crime ranged from June 18, 1978 till July 19, 1991.
Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was an American serial murderer and a sex criminal who brutally raped and then killed 17 men and boys between the years 1978 to 1991. Several of those later homicides consisted of preservation of several body parts of the victims, necrophilia and cannibalism. Though he was initially diagnosed with several mental diseases like borderline personality disorder, a psychotic disorder, and schizotypal personality disorder, Dahmer was found to be legitimately stable at his probation.

Sexuality education in schools
1. Audience for webinar
The audience for the webinar is divided into three age groups. The school going students are the audience. First audience group is the middle child, the second audience group is early childhood and the third group is early adolescence forth is emerging adults. The webinar content will be highly useful because it will educate the audience about the sexuality. The sexual harassments, teenage pregnancy, and many more issues are associated with it, so there is the necessity for such type of education. The webinar content will be characterized specifically according to each age group. The middle childhood and early adolescence need some specific and limited awareness but the adolescence and emerging adults need the detailed awareness.
2. Intended Focus
The webinar focus is on that audience which doesn’t need the higher consideration of the webinar topic. There is a need to educate immature children, teenagers and adults about sexuality. It’s all about creating awareness. Today the world is modernized. The difference between male and female doesn’t matter. The co-education system created a lot of issues along its benefits. There is need to educate the students including girl and boys so they can avoid all bad activities which can lead them towards destruction. Sexuality is not all about the willingness of two people but it sometimes happened in terms of harassments.
The focus is based on the education of immature younger and teenager students who are living in the global world, studying in co-education. Parents are not advising them about the fact that they should avoid such type of relationships, predict the harassments and prevent themselves for being victimized. So, the major focus is to provide awareness to them so they can prevent all that approaches and secure themselves. The webinar focused the school educational system in which such type of awareness sessions are necessary. It has many benefits and our children can take decisions with complete consideration of good and bad.
3. Research Into Webinar Topic
The webinar topic is “Sexuality education in schools”. In recent past years, there are many issues which are get promoted without any awareness and education about sexuality. Entire families are facing a different kind of issues (Shirai, Tsujimura, Abdelhamed, & Horie, 2018). Some families children faced sexual harassments, some victimized by a rapist, some faced the teenage pregnancy, and many facing the diseases which are prevailing with sexual relationships. Sexuality education is necessary, it can eliminate the fantasy factor in which our teenager is living (Breuner, Mattson, & Health., 2016). Innocent adolescence is not aware that how much it could destroy them. How someone can make them victim without there any type of notice and awareness. In innocence and unawareness lot of children f.

Summary of teaching plan
Title: Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Overview
Sexually Transmitted Diseases are diseases that are transmitted from one person to another during oral, anal and vaginal sexual activities. STDs are very common especially among sexually active teenagers and a number of them don’t have the symptoms making it hard to tell if one has contacted one. STDs are very dangerous to one’s health however, it can be detected when one is tested and majority of them have a cure (Bouchery, Harwood, and Brewer, 2014). STDs are preventable with abstinence and safe sexual practices; one is likely not to contract the disease. Examples of the STDs are: chlamydia, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, herpes, HIV and AIDS, Human Papillomavirus, scabies, syphilis and trichomoniais (Stingler, Neusel, and Perry, 2013).
Objectives
1. To help the teenagers understand what STDs are as well as ways one can contract them
2. To teach the teenagers some of the preventive measures of contracting STDs.
3. To educate the teenagers on measures on should take incase exposed to an environment one is likely to contract STDs
4. To help the teenagers differentiate the myths from the facts regarding STDs
Materials
Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts, Graphic power point presentations
STD pamphlets, Writing materials: Pens and Plain papers, Teacher’s laptop, overhead screen
Estimated cost: Overhead screen will be offered by the church, additional materials needed about $45-$80
Directions
The learning sessions was grouped into four different sessions lasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes. In the first session, it was purely teaching session where I addressed all the objectives in a classroom setting and the teenagers were allowed to take notes. Teaching was enhanced with graphic power points to help create a visual understanding of the different concepts put across. The second session on the other hand was purely audio visual where the teenagers were allowed to view different Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts expounding on sexually, transmitted disease. The audio-visual session also addressed all the objectives just as the case was in the classroom set up in session one.
The third session was an open forum where the teenagers were allowed to ask questions, seek clarification on different issues or add more insight on concept learned. This session was an interactive one where all disturbing questions was addressed. The end of this session was marked by satisfactory response to all questions and insight brought forward by both the teacher and the teenagers.
The fourth and final session was an examination setup where each of the participants were given a quick test to test their understanding for the concepts learnt. Those who performed exemplary were awarded certificates and gifts and the whole were issued pa.

1 Chapter 6 Methods of Measuring Behavior
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS CHAPTER:
· • The use of different methods of measuring behavior and collecting data
· • What a test is
· • How different types of tests are designed to assess different types of behavior
· • The use of achievement tests in the behavioral and social sciences
· • The design of multiple-choice items
· • How to do an item analysis
· • The application of attitude scales
· • The difference between Thurstone and Likert attitude scales
In Chapter 5, you got a healthy dose of the theoretical issues that provide the foundation for the science of measurement, why measurement is crucial to the research process, how reliability and validity are defined, and how each of these can be established.
In this chapter, you will begin learning about the application of some of these principles as you read about different methods that can be used to measure behavior, including the ubiquitous test, the questionnaire, the interview, and other techniques.
As you read this chapter, keep several things in mind. Your foremost concern in deciding what method you will use to measure the behavior of interest should be whether the tool you intend to use is a reliable and valid one. This is equally true for the best-designed test and for the most informal-appearing interview. If your test does not “work,” then virtually nothing else will.
Second, the way in which you ask your question will determine the way in which you go about measuring the variables that interest you. If you want to know about how people feel toward a particular issue, then you are talking about attitudinal scales. If you want to know how much information people have about a particular subject, then you are talking about an achievement test or some other measure of knowledge. The focus of a study (such as the effects of unemployment on self-esteem) might be the same, whether you measure attitude or achievement, but what you use to assess your outcome variable depends on the question you ask. You need to decide the intent of your research activity, which in turn reflects your original research question and hypothesis.
Third, really efficient researchers are fully onboard for using whatever method helps them answer the questions that are being asked. This might include a mixed-methods model where one aspect of a research program might include qualitative methods while another might include qualitative methods (see Chapter 10). As research questions and their associated hypotheses become more intricate and complex, the creative side of using a particular research method correctly becomes more important.
Finally, keep in mind that methods vary widely in the time it takes to learn how to use them, in the measurement process itself, and in what you can do with the information once you have collected it. For example, an interview might be appropriate to determine how teachers feel about chang.

NP5. March 22, 2020
NP6. Introduction
NP7. This paper will analyze the question, would removing the protected class designation on 'sex' make a more robust, more competitive workforce, by equalizing the playing the field for men and women. 8. Addressing the question will involve defining and applying moral imagination, moral courage, Dr. Laura's Three Prerequisites for Assigning Moral Credit of Culpability, Utilitarianism, Kantian Ethics, Intersecting Circle's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Model, Strict Liability Theory, Kohlberg's Moral Development Model, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Model, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
NP9. EEOC Laws and Protected Classes
NP10. Protected classes are the groups protected from employment discrimination by law. 11. These groups include men and women based on sex; any group which shares a common race, religion, color, or national origin; people over 40; and people with physical or mental handicaps” 11a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 12. The designation of a protected class requires employers to abide by the EEOC Laws. 13. The EEOC Laws are “five laws which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, physical handicap and mental handicap in any terms, conditions, or privileges of employment” 13a. (NARA, 2020, para 16). 14. The applicable laws were designed to “correct a history of unfavorable treatment of women and minority group members” 14a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 15. Although men and women cannot be discriminated against based on sex, the protected class of sex was designed to prevent discrimination of women in the workplace. 16. The analysis throughout the paper will focus on this fact, and decide if removing sex as a protected class will make the workforce more competitive.
NP17. Moral Courage and Moral Imagination
NP18. Looking at removing a protected class will involve looking at the question from multiple perspectives, this requires moral imagination. 19. Biasucci, Hernandez, and Prentice, 19a. (2020, para 1) say, "Moral imagination, according to philosopher Mark Johnson, means envisioning the full range of possibilities in a particular situation in order to solve an ethical challenge." 20. One view is that the workforce is handing out jobs to women over men, for fear of discriminating accusations. 21. If sex is no longer a protected class, then companies would be able to select the qualified individual without fear of reprisal. 22. Another way of looking at the issue is from the actual definition of protected classes. 23. Sex is a protected class, meaning that both men and women are technically protected from discrimination. 24. From this viewpoint, companies could be accused by both men and women if they feel they employers actively discriminated against them. 25. .

Combatting Senior Isolation with Volunteerism
Senior isolation is a social issue that many of our senior citizens face today. It is estimated that 40% of our senior population suffers from senior isolation. Senior isolation in the elderly has been linked to an increase in illnesses, mortality, depression, elder abuse and a higher incidence of the elderly needing long term care services. It is one of the largest risks to our aging senior’s health and well-being. Volunteer work can help combat senior isolation and have a positive impact on a senior’s health. Senior citizens make up 15.2 percent of the total population of the United States according to the 2016 census bureau and it is reported that by 2060 the number of senior citizens will double. Senior volunteer programs that promote involvement can assist in combating isolation and the negative health consequences while keeping our seniors healthy and active within their communities.
Senior Corps is an organization that currently engages roughly 220,000 older adults between the ages of 55 and above within America in service to their communities through its Foster Grandparent, Senior companion and RSVP programs according to Nationalservice.gov. Utilizing the strengths and assets of our seniors today not only keeps our seniors from isolation but also benefits the communities in which they live. The primary focus of Senior corps is to utilize the strengths, skills and attributes of seniors 55 and above to help tutor, mentor, care for and volunteer to meet the needs of others within their community while also having mutually positive benefits to the health and wellness of the aging senior population. Senior Corp programs not only improve the lives of those served but also the lives of the senior volunteers. Service learning opportunities within Senior Corps could produce beneficial outcomes for the American communities that Senior Corps volunteers, the partnering universities and the student service learners reside. The collegiate service learning students can play an instrumental role in increasing awareness with marketing strategies including recruitment events and informative meetings to promote participation, and enrollment into the programs. Creating and implementing marketing plans while utilizing their technology skills and social media platforms, collegiate service learners can assist Senior Corps in increasing the number of senior volunteers enrolled within each of the programs. Intergenerational learning can promote valuable relationships and partnerships that help bridge the generation gap. Service learners in intergeneration settings report “positive outcomes related to a better understanding of the older generation, enjoyment of interacting with the elders, appreciation of the life exp.

The American Red Cross is an organization with immeasurable commitment to provision of compassionate care to people who are in need in America. As such, this is their mission and their budget epitomizes this. The largest chunk of the income that is mainly received from grants from governments and organizations as well as donations from organizations is spent on humanitarian activities. For the year 2018, 91.85% of the $0.5 billion that was raised from the aforementioned sources was used in humanitarian activities. These included helping people who needed care in in disasters in the shortest notice, ensuring and maintaining community health especially by being in the frontline to deliver blood to patients who needed it in our health facilities. The organization recognizes the importance of mitigating disasters before they happen and therefore set aside $1,659,000 that was used to keep teams ready to stop a disaster before it happened or minimize injury or loss of life as much as possible. This is in line with the organizations principle of being proactive rather than react to disasters when they happen.
The American Red Cross has a total 12,534 permanent employees spread all over the nation to offer humanitarian help whenever and wherever it is needed (Hutchinson, 2018). These are selfless individuals who are always risking their lives to save others’. The organization therefore aims at giving the employees the best working conditions given the circumstances and making sure that they stay safe as much as possible while delivering help. As such, American Red Cross buys the best equipment and vehicles to help the employees as well as volunteers in humanitarian work to get to sites of disasters in the shortest time possible and safely. This is why the company has invested in top notch ambulances that have lifesaving equipment that may be used by the employees to save lives in an occurrence of a disaster.
As indicated above, funds that are used by the organization to finance its operations as well as management are received from state and federal government, and international organizations as grants or from the public as donations. Often times, the funders wish to know how the funds that they give out the cause of saving human lives through humanitarian assistance is used (Schnupp & Möller 2018). The organization therefore posts its official budget on its official website where it can be accessed by all people. In the last 5 years, the donations have been on the rise and this is a good indicator that the people who fund the organizations are happy about how the money they give to it is being used.
One of the key strengths in the company is the manner in which the employees relate with each other and the organization at large. The organization appreciates the selflessness of the people working there. As such, employee retreats are held.

Article I Journal Title: Achieving consumer trust on Twitter via CSR communication
The research seeks to establish means that can be used by companies to relay information on corporate social responsibility on social media platforms particularly twitter in an effective manner. It suggests that the involvement of the consumers and the consumer’s own processing mechanisms have a very vital role in so far as an evaluation of the trustworthiness of the companies is concerned.
The topic explored is very relevant since we have seen a continuous trend where various organizations are becoming more and more under pressure when it comes to communicating organizational policies and organizational positions as pertains to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Every market segment needs to be informed about the organization’s good intentions as well as actions so as to have an impression that the corporation is trustworthy. This implies that the market demand that their corporations engage them through dialogue. Notably, the existing academic literature does not have empirical research that seeks to examine impact of asymmetric versus symmetric communication strategies to the consumers.
Research Questions
i. Which strategies have corporations used in communication with their stakeholders about social corporate responsibility initiatives?
ii. Which of the two communication strategies, asymmetric communication and symmetric communication is more effective?
iii. What is the role of stakeholder’s personal information processing mechanisms when it comes to evaluation of trustworthiness of corporations?
Hypothesis
The first hypothesis (H1) states: Asymmetric vs. symmetric CSR communication strategies will have differing impacts on consumer trust in the organization. The second hypothesis (H2) states: Consumer trust is higher among the consumers with high involvement (those being a “green” consumer in symmetric communication.
Considering the hypotheses, it clearly emerges that they are closely linked to the study questions. The formulated questions point into integrated communication approach as used in organizations with particular attention being paid to the relevance of the communication approached to corporate social responsibility. They further go on to address and draw parallels between innovative approaches such as symmetric and asymmetric communication techniques and their impacts on the stakeholders. The above are further captured in the hypotheses especially when we look at the consumer concerns about an organization’s initiatives on social corporate responsibility. For instance, scepticism green consumers have on CSR been capture by H2. Generally, green consumers are very much conscious about the environmental impacts of their purchase as we.

Self-Injurious Behavior
For this final assignment a research of self-injurious behavior has been conducted. Self-injurious behavior, also known as SIB, is described an instance of behavior that results in physical injury to a person’s own body. SIB includes head banging, using objects to cut or puncture self, pinching self, consuming inedible substances, vomiting, pulling own hair, sucking, biting, scratching body parts and use of drugs, among others (Yang, 2003). SIB, is usually displayed by individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities. SIB can result in serious injuries and in severe cases even death. According to Yang (2003), the treatment of SIB has become one of the most serious issues for clinicians and other professionals due to the injury, risk, prevalence, and cost involved.
Article 1
Overview
The first article discussed is "Combination of extinction and protective measures in the treatment of severely self-injurious behavior" by Lizen Yang from Behavioral interventions journal. Yang explores and discusses the advantages of using extinction in conjunction with the non-intrusive protective measures to treat SIB. In the study, extinction in combination with non-intrusive protective measures was selected as the intervention strategy to reduce SIB.
Subjects and setting
The study was conducted on two adolescent females with profound mental retardation and physical disabilities at a state facility. Both subjects exhibited self-injurious behavior (SIB) and had been wearing restrains mechanisms for more than two years to prevent injuries. The treatment sessions were conducted in the morning for one of the subjects and in the afternoon for the other subject in a multipurpose 12’ x 13’room in their residential building. The room contained a table, a desk, and three chairs. Fingernail clippers, a pair of scissors, and a bottle of white petroleum jelly were used, since the target behavior for both subjects was scratching. There was a radio playing soft music at a moderate volume during sessions. There also were several audio and visual activity materials available and placed on the table within the participants’ reach at all times during treatment. During sessions, only the therapist and the participant were in the room.
Design and results
Event recording was used to collect data during each 30 minute treatment session. Two hand held counters were used to record the target behavior. In order to constantly analyze data, and monitor the behavior, as well as avoiding possible medical concerns, each treatment session was divided into three 10 minute intervals. Initially a within-subject reversal design was in which baseline (A) and treatment (B) were alternated in an ABAB sequence, but due to frequent and severe self-injuries and for safety reas.

Abstract
The concept of trusted computing has been in existence for a very long time. It has had an influence on security systems and solutions. In this paper, I will explain the history of TCB. Ways to implement trusted base computing. I will also explain some of the barriers and how to bypass them.
Introduction
The trusted computing base contains hardware, firmware and software that are essential in establishing as well as maintaining security. Moreover, it also includes an operating system with all specific system hardware, in-built security control, software and network hardware, (Ranganathan, 2017). When designing a trusted computing base provision such as access control, giving privileges, user authentication support, authorization of particular processes or systems, backing up information and protection against viruses and malware. It is the responsibility of a trusted computing base to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of information. It monitors the input and output operations.
History
In December 1985, the United States Department of Defense put out the trusted computing system evaluating criteria that well-defined TCB. TCB can be understood when it performs as a centralized, trusted entity, (Scott-Nash, et al., 2016). The structures that get the uppermost level security accredited and certification have a centralized system design. The TCSEC accepted the view of peer trusted nodes describing them as members of the NTCB which protects the network system including the firmware, software and hardware. This combination is responsible for enforcing a security policy.
How is the model implemented?
TCB contains four security mechanisms, including authentication and identification, auditing, labelling and security policy. In order to understand how TCB is implemented and work. Let’s take the example of a bank—one of the most trusted icons in society today. When we make deposits, the money is recorded and safeguarded. It will be available when we want it back. We hardly consider the security mechanism in the back since we trust the banking system. All the mechanisms of TCB are in place. Before withdrawing money from the account, one is required to identify and authenticate themselves to the teller with the account number and signature. There is also discretionary access control that is who is authorized to withdraw money from the account. There are very few clerical problems since all the transactions that take place are audited. In development, the environment has to enforce the security model. Other concepts that are used when developing TCB include memory protection and handle, (Noorman, et al., 2019). This falls under the NIST requirement for assurance. When implementing TCB, it is essential to ensure that the application meets the basic requirements of NIST.

Abstract
Many organizations and enterprises have adopted the practice of storage of data in the cloud as it is fast, efficient and reliable. It has eliminated the challenge of loss of data and made it easier to retrieve data. Enterprises are therefore able to thrive in the current era where clients require their needs to be met quickly and in their desired timing. However it is faced with the challenge of security, many do not understand their responsibility of making sure that the data is secure. The storage of data in the clouds has decentralized the IT department because in most cases they are not in control of the data due to the ease of access to the various cloud service providers, different departments within an enterprise which have different service providers. The security mechanisms are not comprehensive to cater to all the service providers. Requiring one to use multiple security measures. Hence there exist several loopholes that can be exploited by criminals impairing the steady operations of the victims. Imposing security on the cloud requires that a mechanism is put in place to not only protect but also detect the threats. This will help in planning how to counter react to any possible threat. It does also ensure that there is a study of the trends of such crimes.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

Introduction
Technology is very important and each and every entity
should aim at ensuring that they integrate technology in their
operations. In the past years, most institutions that offer
education have attempted to make use of technology (Collins,
2018). There are various technologies that have been invented
and already put into use in schools. However, institutions
should be very keen to integrate technologies that only make
learning easier and not those that distract learning activities.
For instance, after the invention of iPads, most schools started
using them while learning. Although the technology had its own
advantages, there was no any educational benefit gained by its
integration.
A chrome book is a kind of a laptop that is a bit different
from the other common laptops that are used by individuals.
The Chrome book is different from the other laptops because of
its operating system. Chrome books use the Google operating
system while the other laptops majorly use Microsoft. In the
recent times, most institutions have introduced the usage of
chrome books in learning activities. Research shows that
2. chrome books have more strength in learning as compared to the
weaknesses. Similarly, chrome books have encouraged career
development in schools. A student who intends to major in the
field of technology will have an easy time in the future (Taylor,
2015).
Study blue also is a major technology in education that is
being integrated into institutions of learning. Study blue is
basically an app that can be found even in phones. Teachers
who use study blue in teaching create flashcards and issue them
to students. The students make use of these flash cards so as to
review educational material concerning the specific topic. The
study blue app is in such a way as a library where students can
access all the materials that they want at one point. The app has
helped to improve education as it gives students a variety of
information to use while carrying out their studies.
Class description
A class of students in the lower grade who majorly used
iPads before the introduction of the chrome books will now be
able to carry out various activities which were difficult when
using the iPads and tablets. When the schools introduce chrome
books for use by the students, the junior students will have an
easy time in learning since chrome books are easy to use and
understand. Similarly, chrome books will reduce the workload
that the junior students are subjected to. Therefore, by
introducing chrome books in studies the juniors will be able to
have an easy time in learning and still attain education goals.
As stated above, study blues are suitable for students who
are in the higher grades of education. Study blue is like a
library that is majorly used by students who study complex
issues. Introduction of study blues in schools of higher learning
will enable the students there to have a variety of information to
review from in their studies. The app also ensures that the set of
educational goals are attained by making all the information
accessible to all students. Students are able to access all the
information concerning the topic from the comfort of their
electronic gadgets. For instance, students who have the app in
3. their phones are able to study even at their homes.
SWOT analysis

Strengths
1. Chrome books are cheap.
2. Chrome books aid in career preparation
3. Chrome books encourage student interaction
Weaknesses
1. Chrome books have limited storage
2. Chrome books are very slow
Opportunities
1. The growth of the need for using chrome books by all
institutions.
2. Preference for using chrome books by students in lower
grades
Threats
1. Google chrome books face competition from the other
operating systems like Microsoft which have been in use from
the past
SWOT analysis of study blue in schools today
Strengths
1. Study blue is easily accessible by students.
2. Study blue is easy to adapt by the students.
3. Study blue contains a variety of information altogether.
Weaknesses
1. The app is not suitable for use by students at all levels of
education. It is favorable for the students in higher grades only.
Opportunities
1. The demand for the use of the app has increased greatly
especially among students in upper grades.
Threats.
1. The major threat facing study blue is the privacy issue.
Chrome books and study blues have their own strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. To begin with, chrome
books encourage interaction among students. For examples
students of a school in a state like Chicago who uses chrome
4. books are able to communicate and interact with other students
who are in a state like Texas. The student interaction is very
important in learning as it creates a conducive environment for
learning. Interactions also allow for brainstorming of ideas.
Students are able to learn more education matters from each
other. Therefore, chrome books should be encouraged in schools
since they create a conducive environment for the attainment of
educational goals (Carney, 2015).
Similarly, study blues are easily accessible by the students.
Students who find it difficult to study or to complete
assignments can make use of the app so as to get more informed
about the specific topic. As stated above the app is just like a
school library but in electronic form. As in it is a review tool.
For instance, when students in the upper grades are given an
assignment on information technology they will refer from the
app so as to get information on the topic. Alternatively, the
subject teacher can send the students flashcards through the
app. Students will make use of the flashcards in answering the
questions asked.
However, the technologies have weaknesses too. The major
weakness of the chrome book is that it is slow as compared to
the other electronic gadgets that are used for learning purposes.
The slow speed makes the gadget not favorable for studies. If
the gadget was a bit fast in its operations, the teachers could be
covering a lot of issues as compared to what they cover
currently. Research indicates that the slow speed is as a result
of the low storage space that the gadget has. Nevertheless, the
gadget is favorable for the juniors who cover just a small
portion of activities in a given session or lesson.
Moreover, the study blues are not suitable for all levels of
learning. Students in the lower grades will find it hard to study
using the study blues. The major reason that makes the study
blues not favorable for all students is the use of complex
vocabularies. The application majorly uses complex language
because it is a review and reference tool in studies. Because the
young students are not able to understand the complex
5. vocabularies very few junior schools make use of the app in
attaining educational goals (Tucunan, 2018). However, study
blues are not completely discouraged from use in the junior
schools. For instance, students in junior schools that use the
application are able to acquire vocabularies and improve their
study skills.
In addition, the two technologies have opportunities that
they ought to exploit. The major opportunity that is common
among the two technologies is the increased need for integration
of the technologies in institutions of learning today. As stated
above, almost all institutions of learning today want to make
use of the technology. For instance, almost all public schools in
Chicago today are making use of chrome books in their schools
today. Other schools that haven’t attempted using the
technology are on the verge of integrating it into their
activities. The same also applies to study blues; the need for the
integration of the technology in institutions of higher learning
has increased.
Besides, the education technologies also have their own
threats that should be studied early enough to avoid future
problems. The major threat that is facing the technologies is
stiff competition from other technologies. Competition is very
common and though it’s a threat it is also an opportunity to
outdo the competitors. For instance, before the inception of the
chrome books, the desktops were used in schools. The chrome
books for preferred then because of their nature of the
operation. Thereafter, laptops that are faster have been
introduced. These laptops create competition for the chrome
books. Similarly, students don’t have to have reference
materials but can Google anything that they want in the comfort
of their phones.
Hypothetical timeline
In the first month, there is majorly the introduction of the
technology to the institution. Introduction majorly entails
informing the students and the staff about the technology and
how to make use of the technology. In the next two months, the
6. institution evaluates the technology that has already been
introduced. The evaluation process entails carrying out
extensive research about the technology. The first two steps of
the adoption of the technology: the introduction and evaluation
of technologies are aimed at increasing awareness about the
technology. The fourth and fifth month majorly entails an
evaluation of alternatives. In this step, the institution identifies
other technologies that serve the same function as the identified
technology and select the best technology.
In addition, after evaluating and weighing alternatives the
best alternative to the institution is chosen. The chosen
technology is then tested in the sixth month. The testing
involves actual testing of the technology. For instance, in our
case, the junior school may purchase chrome books and issue
them to students and teach them how to use them. Similarly, the
senior school may make use of study blues in their learning.
The institution then compares whether there is any positive
impact of using the technology. If there is a positive impact, the
institution adopts the technology. Alternatively, if the
technology doesn’t ensure the attainment of educational goals it
is not adopted.
The seventh month mainly entails the adoption of the
educational technology. Adoption is the decision of the
institution of learning to make use of the selected technology in
their activities. Adoption is done when the technology meets the
expected requirements. The very last step of project
implementation reviews. Reviews are very necessary for any
given project as they show that there is a problem somewhere
that needs to be corrected. If the technology has got some issues
which if corrected may ensure that educational goals are
attained, such issues are corrected in the review stage. The
above stages ensure a success in project development and
implementation.
Recommendations
For technology to be effective in education, there are some
changes that ought to be made in the schools. To begin with, the
7. teachers have to undergo training and seminars on technology
issues. The members of staff who will be guiding the students in
matters of technology should be well versed with technical
matters (Ruggiero, 2015). The basic knowledge is very
important since it is the same message that will be passed on to
the students. Also, all students should be given equal
opportunities to make use of the technologies in school. In the
case of private schools, the burden of purchasing the
technologies should not be left to the parents but to the
institution.
In addition, schools should make use of technologies that
can be used by all students regardless of their grades. This will
ensure that the school incurs little costs in purchasing the
technologies. For example, the school should make use of
chrome books instead of study blues. This is because if a school
decides to use study blues while learning, the young students
will also require a technology that they can use in their level of
study. Therefore, a school that has both junior and senior
students should purchase chrome books. One that has only the
older students should make use of study blues only.
Similarly, schools should employ technologies that ensure
educational progress and not just technological progress.
Though technological progress is important, in a school setting
educational needs outweigh technological needs. For instance,
there is no reason for a school buying laptops each and every
time because a new version has been introduced. If the new
version will not bring any changes in the attainment of
educational goals, then there is no need of making use of the
technology. Such a school that keeps up with technological
changes is concentrating more on technological development
and forgetting educational progress which is the main goal of
any given school.
It is evident that technologies have their own strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Before selecting any
given technology for use the elements above should be
considered. Failure to considering the elements above, the set
8. goals of the specific organization may not be attained. Although
technologies have their own weaknesses, all entities should aim
at ensuring that they use technology in carrying out their
activities. Application of technologies makes work easier. In a
school setting, technology reduced the workload that students
have while carrying out their studies. In addition, before the
implementation of technology, there should be awareness,
evaluation, testing and the final adoption of the technology.

Introduction
Technology in the society is growing at a very fast pace and
there is need to develop strategies that will ensure its properly
embraced for our benefits. This is because technology is
inevitable and cannot be avoided. In the same way the landscape
of education and training has been developing and changing
swiftly over the past years hence the need to also have a
technology plan that will make learning and education
systematic and enjoyable.
Purpose of and rationale
In the development of my K12 course project I will utilize the
G-suite education and Social Mention technologies. I decided to
utilize this combination of technologies in the development of
my K12 project as they will provide a diversified function when
working together hence making education and training within
the institution more fun and systematic. The G-suite technology
provides many different cloud computing functions like Google
classroom, Google forms, Google doc and other virtual support
that will facilitate the interaction of the teacher, student and
even parent or guardian where necessary (Stevenson & Hedberg,
2017).
G-suite provides extra enterprise grade functionalities that are
11. designed to ensure large institutions are able to control analyze
and monitor their operation smoothly. On the other hand, the
social mention technology will provide social interaction and
linking of the peers and teachers to vast information while
having fun or socializing. Social Mention currently provides a
point-in-time or real time search services which is vital in
education. Social mention monitors the operation of Facebook,
twitters, Digg, Google and YouTube among others hence
making information available and easily accessed within the
same platform (SocialMention, n.d.). A combination of these
platforms can facilitate the provision of educational practices to
student of all aspect including disables hence making it more
effective and efficient in the educational system.
Three (3) reasons why these particular tools are considered an
emerging technology to the educational or training setting
Emerging technology is technologies that are considered to
change the status quo or how things are done in a routine
manner. This can be educational or information among other
perspectives. In our K12 project development G-suite and social
mention technologies is considered to be an emerging
technology in the sense that they provide effective real time
provision of educational information and platform to the
institutions, parent and students as well (G-suite, n.d.).
The ability to incorporate the parent to monitor how the
students are educated is an aspect hat facilitates the programs to
be emerging and widely embraced. The other factor is the
provision of virtual or online classroom experience to the
student. In the contemporary era most, educational activities are
shifted to online platforms and this systems effectiveness under
this sector (Roberts-Mahoney, Means & Garrison, 2016). The
last factor that facilitates the technologies to be emerging is the
sustainability of the program in the long run. The system has
the capacity to provide the services smoothly in the long run by
only upgrading time and again.
Three to five (3–5) possible benefits of these two technologies
in the classroom or workplace setting
12. The systems provide diverse benefits to the classroom or
workplace setting within the organization. Provision of real
time access of data or information is one of the benefits that
come with these technologies. Also, the technology facilitates
conveniences as the students or employee can access the
information despite of their geographical locations in real time.
Despite the initial cost of installation and training the system
can reduce the operational cost in the work places and
classroom as well in the long run. The system can provide
services to disabled individuals when configured hence being
more user friendly and effective.
The system provides a large base of information within a single
platform hence being convenient and time saving technologies
in the organization or classroom activities. The system can
have indirect benefit to the environment as there will be
reduced paper work commuting and congesting the cities hence
saving trees and reduction of global warming catalyst in the
society. The platforms also provide cloud space that will reduce
physical storage space in class and workplaces hence cost
effectiveness. Finally, these platforms provide social interaction
ability through social media channels which will make learning
and working fun (Greenhow & Askari, 2017).
Three to five (3–5) instructional goals and how incorporating
these technologies support those goals
Instructional objectives are statements that are provided to the
student by the teacher or trainer to ensure they change and
embrace it in the long run for their own benefits in life. Under
this K12 project development there are some instructional
objectives that are developed and supported by the emerging
technologies for the best interest of the parties involved
(Ventayen et al, 2016). One of the instructional goals is
development of dependency among the student when learning.
G-suite and social mention programs provides diversified and
comprehensive information to student at their disposal hence
this will boost they confidence level and ability to develop
13. independence effectively. Critical or strategic learning is
another instructional mechanism that the system will provide to
the student as they will be having a lot of information at their
disposal hence the need to use the critical thinking mechanism
to identify and develop effective research or thesis of a given
project or readings. Also, development of social skills is
another instructional goal that the system deems to achieve
through the use of social mention that allows the student to
practice their social skill in chats and other social platforms.
Also, problem solving ability is another aspect that the system
is designed to provide to the student.
Conclusion
The paper provided a rationale of the G suite and Social
Mention technologies being incorporated in the development of
the K12 education program. The paper also elaborated why the
technologies are considered emerging in K12 education and
later provided the benefits of the system being convenience,
cost effectiveness and user friendly. Lastly the paper provided
the instructional goals and how the system facilitated their
achievement successfully.

Padlet is basically an application that may be utilized in
creating an online bulletin board for tutors to display
information concerning any given topic. The application allows
easy creation of accounts and building of new boards where a
tutor may add images, links and videos. A Padlet may be
installed on the browser enabling the tutor to add the page
he/she is browsing to the Padlet and provides a shortcut to
check the Padlets. Padlet settings enable the tutor to make its
interaction wall fully open for student contributions, fully
secure and moderated by the tutor. The tutor approves these
contributions prior to their display. The Padlets also includes
search, themes, stats and support cross-device compatibility for
15. uploaded videos. Padlet is available online as well as offline as
both an Android and iOS app but the versions differ slightly.
Evernote organizes the school’s information since sometimes, it
can feel like school documents are managing staff. Whether
looking for the latest publications or a specific presentation
from ten years ago and swiftly accessing what is required in an
easy way. A school setting has a large number of tools and huge
amounts of information dispersed across offices and classes. In
order to save time and avoid losing hours hunting for the
information, a tutor may need to improve teaching. Evernote
enables the capturing of essential school documents all in one
secure location, despite their different formats. Whether it’s
student’s onboarding checklists, teaching modules, or teaching
materials; when such information is on a single central hub, all
the tutors always have the latest information.
