Tiffany Rollins is a 6th grade language arts teacher at Howard Middle School who uses various technologies in her classroom, including a Smart Board, computers, MP3 players, digital cameras, and Active Expression polling devices. Her school received a grant to help teachers integrate technology into standards-based lessons. According to Rollins, using these technologies has helped improve student achievement and engagement. While technology use presents some challenges like equipment failures, overall it has had a positive impact on student test scores and behavior in Rollins' classroom.

Building a compelling and meaningful work environment is a complex process. At the same time, the world of employee engagement and feedback is exploding. Annual engagement surveys are being replaced by “employee listening” tools such as pulse surveys, anonymous social tools, and regular feedback check-ins by managers.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. Meet the Teacher… I spoke with Tiffany Rollins. She is a 6th grade Language Arts teacher at Howard Middle School. This is her second year at the school.
3. The Setting… 100 Language Arts students 49% are femalesand 51% are males 71% are African American 7% are Asian 20% are White 2% are Hispanic
4. Technology Integration Howard Middle School was awarded the Teachers, Teamwork and Technology (T-3) Grant in 2008. This grant is used to help teachers to embark on a journey towards standards-based teaching with engaged learners in a technology-enabled classroom. Some of the items that was awarded: Smart Board, Digital Cameras, Laptops MP3 Players, and Activ Expression
5. Technology Integration “The students use a plethora of technology to complete assignments in my language arts classroom. For example, in my class room I use the Smart Board, computers, MP3 players, Active Expression (polling devices), and digital cameras to foster student achievement. I have the students interact with the Smart Board on a daily basis by having them use the board to complete grammar exercises. “
6. Technology Integration “The students also type all of their writing assignments for their writing folder on the computers. I also use the computers by allowing the students to use PowerPoint and Moviemaker to complete projects.”
7. Technology Integration “I use the MP3 players by having the students record their voices for both digital stories and other assignments such as a poem for two voices. The poem for two voices requires that students read a poem simultaneously which is made easier through the use of the MP3 player.” “The students use the Active Expression to complete assessments. I use this data to check for student understanding and to make grading simpler. The students enjoy using the Active Expression polling devices because it provides them with immediate feedback. The digital cameras are use to make video recordings for projects and to take still images.”
9. Effectiveness “The CRCT scores for the students in the T-3 grant classrooms were significantly higher. The four T-3 classrooms scores were the highest scores out of all ELA classes in the school. The students’ behavior has also been impacted by the use of technology. Students who would not normally complete an assignment are more likely to complete the assignment when technology is involved. Also, the students understand that they have to be on their best behavior in order to use the technology.”
10. Support Issues “The main fault in using technology is when it fails. When the equipment stops working it is hard to get it repaired in a timely manner. For example, when I moved to a different room this school year, my Smart Board was not working properly and it took a few weeks for someone to come out and fix it. Another draw back is the amount of time it takes students to become familiar with how to use the technology.”
