The document discusses how the author used various media technologies during the research, planning, construction, and evaluation stages of creating a trailer, magazine cover, and poster. This included using a blog to share works in progress, conduct polls to gather audience feedback, and receive feedback from teachers. The author also used YouTube to research trailers, Wikipedia to research genres, and Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements to construct the final pieces. Filming audience members to gather qualitative feedback on the final pieces is also discussed.
This document summarizes a study examining the fiscal impacts of Shelby County Schools converting to a Special School District. It considers two boundary alternatives and two local property tax alternatives. The key findings are:
1) Under a countywide property tax levy, the creation of a special school district would not necessarily create an imbalance in tax revenue per student between the two districts.
2) Under a district property tax levy, an imbalance would be created due to the differing ratios of tax base to enrollment in each district, with the special school district having a higher tax base per student.
3) This imbalance under a district levy could subside over time if Memphis City Schools experiences declining enrollment as projected.
This media product challenges conventions of real rock magazines by featuring a female model on the cover instead of male artists, and using brighter colors like pinks and oranges rather than the typical darker, gloomier styles. It conforms to some conventions as well, such as placing all text on the left side of the cover and contents page, including the title, price, barcode, issue number and date on the cover, and having page numbers on spreads, as is common in magazines.
The document provides an overview of the Vance Avenue Collaborative (VAC) planning process and history of the Vance Avenue neighborhood in Memphis, Tennessee. It describes how VAC was formed by community leaders concerned about displacement from redevelopment. Through extensive community engagement efforts led by volunteers and students, VAC gathered input to develop a comprehensive revitalization plan building on the neighborhood's assets. The neighborhood has a long history dating back to Native American settlements but faced decline in the 20th century from factors like poverty, deindustrialization, and racial tensions before recent redevelopment efforts.

This document provides instructions for an individual concept mapping exercise. It asks the individual to: 1) List 5 key words used in their concept map, 2) Identify the 3 most important sentences in their concept map, and 3) Define 5 key words that were used in the concept map. An example is provided that lists IBM Research homepage, researchers, annual report, feedback, and Open House 2010 as key words and provides definitions for each.

12 things to remeber when giving criticismabeturaani
Effective criticism is when you exhibit your desire for improving the other persons performance, awareness and perception while keeping your emotions in check
The document discusses how the author used various media technologies at different stages of their project. This included using a blog to post trailers, film posters, and work in progress updates. The blog allowed easy embedding of media and feedback from teachers. YouTube and Wikipedia were used for research, and audience polls on the blog helped with planning based on target audience preferences. Photographs were taken for planning shots. The blog also hosted work in progress video clips. Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements were used for editing and constructing the trailer, magazine cover, and poster.
Transdisciplinary skills scope and sequence research1guest2e0242
1. The document outlines a research skills scope and sequence for students from preschool to year 6, covering skills such as formulating questions, observing, locating information, recording data, and selecting/analyzing information.
2. Students are introduced to skills like asking questions, identifying parts of books, and using graphic organizers in early years, and apply more advanced skills like using Boolean search terms and online databases in later years.
3. The scope and sequence is designed to progressively develop students' research abilities through introducing, practicing, and applying skills at different grade levels.
Stem cells can come from embryonic or adult sources. Embryonic stem cells are more versatile but their use is controversial due to ethical concerns. Adult stem cells are more limited in their abilities but do not pose the same ethical issues. While stem cells show promise for new medical treatments, more research is still needed to overcome obstacles like rejection by the immune system.
Carter Cameron conducted waterway assessments of Hobcaw Creek on May 16th and the Wando River on May 23rd. On Hobcaw Creek during low tide, conditions were good though 3 sunken or abandoned boats were found, including the "Duct Tape Boat" that had sunk. A collapsing seawall was also observed. On the Wando River during high tide, conditions were good with no trash or sunken boats seen, though boat traffic was heavy.
The document summarizes a study conducted by an intern for Charleston Waterkeeper to determine if copper-based marine antifouling paints are a significant source of copper contamination in sediments near marinas and boatyards in Charleston Harbor. Samples were collected from 3 marinas/boatyards and a control site and tested for copper concentration. Statistical analysis found significantly higher copper levels in sediments closer to marinas/boatyards, suggesting antifouling paints are a likely source of the contamination. Future recommendations include further studies, monitoring, and promoting alternatives to copper-based paints.
The Big6 is a six-step process for solving information problems that can be used by people of all ages. The six steps are: 1) Task Definition, 2) Information Seeking Strategies, 3) Location and Access, 4) Use of Information, 5) Synthesis, and 6) Evaluation. The Super3 simplifies the Big6 process into three easier steps for younger students: 1) Plan, 2) Do, and 3) Review.
This document discusses creating a disability-friendly corporate culture and highlights best practices for employing people with disabilities. It notes that while 43 million Americans have disabilities, employment rates for this group remain low due to barriers. Two case studies are presented: Hewlett-Packard employs people with disabilities and ensures its products are accessible, while Microsoft provides top management support, targeted recruiting, and training to employ this group. Overall, the best practices identified for reducing barriers and integrating people with disabilities include strong leadership support, training, broad recruiting, and focusing on abilities rather than disabilities.
