Prezi Prezi is a cloud based presentation software and storytelling tool that is used for exploring and sharing ideas on a virtual canvas. Prezi is used as platform for bridging linear and non-linear information, and as a tool for both for free-form brainstorming and structured presentation. Text, images, videos and other presentation media are placed upon the canvas, and can be grouped together in frames. Users then designate the relative size and position between all presentation objects and may pan and zoom in and between these objects. For linear presentations, users can construct a prescribed navigation path. Prezi was initially developed by Hungarian architect Adam Somlai-Fischer as an architectural visualization tool. Prezi’s stated mission is to “make sharing ideas more interesting”, and it is intended to be an intuitive tool to develop and share ideas as a visual narrative. . Wordle Wordle is a word could that is a visual representation for text data, typically used to visualize free form text.

...unrelated definitions, and many phrases that, when taken literally, are confusing and frustrating. In order for those students to be able to flourish in their academic careers, they must be able to collectively achieve reading comprehension as well as an understanding of figurative language. "Bridging Two Worlds: Reading Comprehension, Figurative Language Instruction, and the English-Language Learner" is an article about bringing reading comprehension and figurative language instruction together in the minds of English Language Learners (ELLs). However, that is not all that this article is about. It is also about bridging the ELL’s understanding of their native language with the English language in order for the ELL student to succeed in their language acquisition both socially and academically. The best way for this to happen is for the teacher to teach explicit instruction to the ELL student. In explicit or direct instruction, the instruction is teacher centered and highly structured (Palmer & Brooks, 2004). The teacher must first model the thinking process that is required in order to comprehend the words and phrases and also the procedures involved to conclude what the text is saying from context. Directly after the teacher models the required thinking process, the student must have some independent practice. This is so that the student can practice the material while it is still fresh in their mind. It is also important to utilize visualization. (Qualls & Harris...

...Jason Evans English 103 Essay 3 Social networking and what it can do for you has been a hot topic for the last decade or so due in large part to the seemingly ever growing uses of such a tool. In the publication, Interactions, I found an essay explaining the trends of social networking and benefits for the future possibilities for this growing phenomenon. While the use of social networking is not new to us, this essay contends that we may have just begun to scratch the surface of what we can utilize our networks to work for us. The authors, Nichole Ellison, Cliff Lampe, and Charles Steinfield, discuss ways in which we not only can use these social mediums to gain a larger circle of friends and contacts, but that we can use them to further common goals in larger organizations of people and use our series of network connections to benefit us in the job market and business as a whole. The most prevalent users of these social networking sites are younger people, but in this essay, the authors point out that, “as adoption spreads to a wider audience, we expect such changes to be amplified across all segments of society” (Ellison, Lampe, Steinfeld, 2009). The use of social networking has the chance to alter our lives on both a personal and large scale. This ideal is something that these authors are directing at a global audience, and not just a small targeted group of people. Throughout the course of this essay, they highlight many positives for social networking and provide some...

...Information Business Problem Dimension IT/205 September 2, 2011 Dr. Grice Information Business Problem Dimension According to the text (2009) the three dimensions to business problems are information technology, organizations, and people. With information technology some of the business problems that exist are inadequate or aging hardware, outdated software, and the rapid change in technology. With IT one will have to consider the components of the firm infrastructure and the way it works. Organization dimension can be inadequate resources or outdated business processes. Business problems also involve the business processes and structure. Lack of employee training, regulatory compliance, or poor management are some of the people diminsion involving problems within the organization. Experts are employed and trained for different business functions, such as sales and marketing, manufacturing, production, and human resources. Organizations will also have to deterimine what processes are useful or outdated.The information system deals with the business part of the organization. An information system is implemented within an organization for the intent of improving the effectiveness and competence of the organization. This information system concentrates on bridging the gap between businesses and the growing field of computers. On the other hand, information technology is all about managing technology and making use of it for the improvement of businesses. However, the...

...Their sense of identity has not been determined if they have not had experiences in which they are able to determine their relationship to and how it affects them. In narrating or privileging a child's perspective in a novel, the language the reader is presented with is simplistic and the viewpoint of the narrator is often minimalistic as it is based upon the experiences which the narrator has encountered. Shyam Selvadurair's Funny Boy is narrated from an adolescent’s perspective, where the presumed innocence and naivety of the child offers an alternative view to the political, cultural, social and historical tensions in India and Sri Lanka and the effect that it has on the developing child in terms of identity. The child narrator in each text is an outsider as they do not merge with the cultural norms imposed upon by society. Arjie, the product of an upper-class Tamil family in Funny Boy, crosses borders in his awakening as a homosexual, falling in love with a Sinhalese, despite his parents attempt to create a masculine identity for him, in order that he may abide by the boundaries and social order that has been imposed upon him. The need to understand identity determines the characters individual relationship to the tensions surrounding them. Although children might not understand what is going on, they offer a new angle in which the readers may make sense of what they are being told and how it is important to the work as a whole. In Shyam Selvadurai's Funny Boy, the child narrator...

...IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON KNOWLEDGE AND DATA ENGINEERING, VOL. 25, NO. 10, OCTOBER 2013 2257 iLike: Bridging the Semantic Gap in Vertical Image Search by Integrating Text and Visual Features Yuxin Chen, Student Member, IEEE, Hariprasad Sampathkumar, Student Member, IEEE, Bo Luo, Member, IEEE Computer Society, and Xue-wen Chen, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract—With the development of Internet and Web 2.0, large-volume multimedia contents have been made available online. It is highly desired to provide easy accessibility to such contents, i.e., efficient and precise retrieval of images that satisfies users’ needs. Toward this goal, content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been intensively studied in the research community, while text-based search is better adopted in the industry. Both approaches have inherent disadvantages and limitations. Therefore, unlike the great success of text search, web image search engines are still premature. In this paper, we present iLike, a vertical image search engine that integrates both textual and visual features to improve retrieval performance. We bridge the semantic gap by capturing the meaning of each text term in the visual feature space, and reweight visual features according to their significance to the query terms. We also bridge the user intention gap because we are able to infer the “visual meanings” behind the textual queries. Last but not least, we provide a visual thesaurus, which is generated from the statistical similarity...

...boyfriend so when he tells her that he is going somewhere she makes him snap her a picture to make sure he was not lying about his whereabouts. I believe that she uses Snapchat for this reason because snaps are recent unlike in text messages he could send an old picture and she would never know if he just took the picture or not. Messages sent through Snapchat notifies the person if the message was received or not. It alerts you if a person viewed your message and story. Not replying to a person’s message is a huge issue for social media because people take it as disrespectful. It is much like a person not responding to your hello in public with ignoring you. As rude as this sounds, people on Snapchat are notorious for this action and could cause problems in a relationship. The problem is that a good relationship has constant contact with one another. If there is no contact between the two partners, problems will rise. The interviewee explained this to me with further details on how her boyfriend is constantly non responsive when it comes to Snapchat because he is a bit busy. This brought insecurity in the relationship and she felt that she needed to know what her boyfriend was doing whenever she contacts him. Although a simple call or text message could have solved this problem, Snapchat messaging is free under internet connection. So, it is simple to think that Snapchat is another good resource for contacting people as well as Twitter. Being responsive on these...

...Cognitive Processes Associated With Language Gwendolyn Spillman, University of Phoenix Cognitive Psychology PSYCH/640 Gaston Weisz March 21, 2014 Cognitive Processes Associated With Language Language is a cognitive function that most humans take for granted. The basic means of communication among individuals is through language. Language allows people to communicate with each other, share his or her thoughts and feelings, share ideas and concepts, fears, and affirmations. Different cultures have different languages as well as vocabulary and grammatically components that each one understands. The goal of this paper is to explain what language is and the many methods behind it, the cognitive process of perception and how it affects language, and the cognitive process of language comprehension. Cognitive Processes Associated with Comprehension There are three processes concerning the cognitive processes associated with language comprehension. These processes begin with the perceptual processes that encode spoken or written words (Anderson, 2010). Parsing is the second stage, in which people try to extract as much information from every word in order to put meaning to a sentence. Individuals will use syntactic cues, such as word order to arrive at an interpretation of a sentence (Anderson, 2010). When sentences contain ambiguity, people will use the principle of minimal attachment to help them interpret a sentence. This is a process where a person will choose an interpretation...

...Using Narrative Text in the Secondary Classroom Once upon a time, in a school, very much like your own, American History and all its contents were studied alongside tales of triumph, and defeat. In this history class, the students supplemented curriculum delivered through lectures and textbooks, with materials from sources such as diary entries, editorials, and historical fiction. This is an example of how narrative text can coexist with expository information found in content area classrooms in today's high schools. While the need for expository text is vital to the success of a student to understand the content (i.e., Social Studies) curriculum, narrative literature and various other texts are a great way to supplement the learner with information from which they can draw a better understanding of the state standards. Explained below is a definition of narrative literature, advantages and disadvantages of using narrative text in the high school Social Studies classroom, and five possible uses for using narrative texts in the high school classroom. Narrative Literature Narrative literature can be both fiction such as novels, as well as non-fictional works such as memoirs (Burke). Often, narrative literature includes many of the following: a plot, character, problems, and themes. In fictional work, one generally finds a setting, with a beginning, a reaction, and an ending (Roe, Stoodt-Hill, & P. C. Burns, 2004). Narrative literature can, and does exist on its own in...

...history and art of Islam and the history of Al-Masjid al-Ha ram or “The Holy Mosque”. Also the Religious meetings and personal views of an Islamic leader in the essay. Beliefs of Islam Islam, like Judaism and Christianity, is a monotheistic religion based in ones beliefs in God. There are two main in the religion in Islam, which is known as Sunni and Shi’a. The two major separation of Islam were caused by the question of leadership after Muhammad’s sentence. Vast majority of Muslim, like about 90 percent are Sunni and the others would be Shi’s. “Sunni” comes from the Arabic word which is Sunnah meaning “customary practice.” But in Sunni Islam, the imam is the man who leads the Friday prayers in a mosque with scriptures from the Qur’an, the text of which is considered to be the direct word from God (Allah). Caliphate and Its Modern Era The Caliphate was the first government system established in Islam, it is represented as the political unity of the Muslim Ummah nation. As a religious historian, S. A. Nigosian believes that “the critical issue [between the Sunni and the Shi’a] was the designation of a political successor only, since a religious successor to Muhammad, the “seal” of the prophets, was unthinkable” (Nigosian 40). Sunni and Muslims believed in the First Four Caliphs that followed the death of Muhammad. According to Sunni and the Muslims, after Muhammad's death, the confusion that ensued from not having a...
