...The ISTE National Educational Technology Standards (NETS*T) and Performance Indicators for Teachers indicates that teachers should be able to design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments. Since I am not yet a teacher, these are the steps I plan to take to meet this NETS*T standard once I become one. In order to create learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote learning and creativity, I would assign a research project. Students would include gathering information from online sources and then creatively deciding how to present that information to the class. Options could include recoding a “radio show”, making a “news cast” video, or making a short movie. Therefore, granting the students access to several technological device choices in one assignment. I would develop a technology-enriched learning environment that enables students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress by having them participate in adaptive learning programs. Programs such as Dreambox and Reading Eggs create self-paced lessons to match students’ individual needs. Dreambox for example gives the student choices when deciding which path to take and which activity to complete. Once a series of activities are completed the student can move on to the next lesson. This allows the student to manage their learning and assess...

...Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” (Durando). Education is one of the most fundamental cornerstones of American society. It is the basis of a child’s future. With this being said, how do we want children in this country to be taught? Do we want them to be a well-rounded student, or do we want children to focus on what they will do after college? The manner in which children are being taught can either encourage or discourage them. It can also set children up for success or failure in their future. The Common Core State Standards that were put in place to help American children have, in turn, failed them because the United States still is not able to compete well in the global...

...Nowadays, technology is growing rapidly and it creates great and modern devices. The growing technology has spread its ability to various fields. Technology refers to the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems, and methods of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a pre-existing solution to a problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied input and output relation or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection of such tools, including machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures. Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas such as construction technology, medical technology, and information technology. Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies which including today's global economy and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. (May Principe, 2012) According to Lai Mun Chow and Yap Su Fei (2004), Malaysia is an emerging Asian economy aspiring to move towards a technology-driven and high-tech production-based pattern of development and thus replicate the experience of the newly industrializing economies (NIEs) of Asia. In fact, Malaysia has been categorized in the group of countries that have the potential to create new technologies on...

...Tech Partners Consulting www.techpartners.net.au SOEs – Standard Operating Environments The SOE concept explained in business terms Authored by Alan Pickering, Tech Partners Consulting September, 2003 Introduction The use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in organisations has gone well past the stage of being unique, novel and even technically difficult. Nowadays, the technology is readily available, thanks to the volume demand from commercial and residential market segments. Even so, there are benefits from adopting a Standards based approach to choosing and deploying ICT assets; and offering technology based IT services to customers. This white paper will provide a brief introduction to the philosophy of Standard Operating Environments, and will explain the likely benefits, costs and planning factors that relate to adopting an SOE approach. Background When desktop computing and Local Area Networks appeared in organisations in the 1980’s, they were small scale and of little immediate consequence. Being somewhat complex, and requiring some hands on technical skills, they were acquired in small quantities. The low cash costs meant they were often purchased ‘under the radar’ of senior management and IT teams. The practical use and popularity of PCs and LANs grew, to the point that some organisations recognized the need to account for the cost of assets and people’s time spent on support. Since then, industry analysts have studied the...

...organization that is called AAPC. AAPC stands for American Academy of Professional Coders. In 1988, AAPC was founded to provide education and professional certification to physician-based medical coders (AAPC, 2014). In order to be a part of this organization, a member has to follow by a specific protocol. Another organization that is most known and recognized, is The American Medical Billing Association (AMBA).There's a list of different certifications that one could gain, as a medical billing and coder. Just to name a few more, CMRS (certified medical reimbursement specialist) specializes in insurance reimbursement. CHBME (certified healthcare billing and management executive) is geared toward managers, executives, and supervisors (A-T-M-B, 2014). Professional standards in the healthcare field, means having a certification or a license. Having a certification, means you indeed, have met the specific requirements. Depending on the specific job one chooses when entering into the healthcare field, in order to practice in the state that one lives in, it is mandatory that one has a license to practice within that state. The importance of professional standards in healthcare, is for one, to distinguish yourself from others who are not certified or licensed. It shows how dedicated you are to your career as a coder. It shows your managers that you have continued your education and you continue to do so annually with the renewal of your certifications. It shows your dedication to your responsibilities...

...are nurses themselves and work in their various fields. So when something comes up that needs addressed, they meet as a committee and discuss the issue. Then they decide what would be the best action to take for solving the problem. By doing this they are able to come up with the standards we now have. They realize that there must be a code of ethics and code of conduct set forth and these are the rules that we as nurses must follow. No one is allowed to change any part of it. So far there is a wide variety of standards that have been put into place. It is good for to know these rules and they will guide us in daily nursing duties. By implementing the higher standard of care, we are all able to work more proficiently and professionally. In order to develop a new standard, there usually has to be a problem that has come to the attention of one or more of the committee members, or from someone else that has brought forth a concern or complaint. The members then meet in order to come up with a solution to help with the problem. Such an example would be when too many nurses were getting stuck with needles and contracting diseases from them. From that basis came the implementation of the safety standards we now have to help prevent needle sticks, including not recapping needles, and using the safety features provided with each...

...COPIER CONFUSION CASE STUDY Abstract The Business Company, Inc., badly needed new copying machines. The company had 20 machines, but they were old and copy quality was poor. They broke down frequently. And to change paper size from 8.5 x 11 in. to legal-size, the user had to remove one paper tray containing 8.5 x 11 in. paper and replace it with a tray containing legal-size paper. Newer machines had two trays, one for each paper size, that permitted changing paper size at the push of a button without changing paper trays. The company’s purchasing agent, thought this would be a labor-saving feature and decided to include it in a specification for purchase of new machines. The copying machine industry called this feature, “dual-cassette” design. John Richards, the company’s purchasing agent, thought this would be a labor-saving feature and decided to include it in a specification for purchase of new machines. The copying machine industry called this feature, “dual-cassette” design. The Business Company issued an invitation for bids for purchase and maintenance of 20 replacement machines. The solicitation included a specification that called for a machine that would permit “copying both 8.5 x 11 in. and legal-size paper without manually changing the paper trays.” The term dual cassette did not appear in the specification.

...PROC5000/Anthony Vatterott/SPARTAN HEAT EXCHANGERS, INC/Dalton 1 SPARTAN HEAT EXCHANGERS, INC. Rick Coyne is the Materials Manager at Spartan, Inc. Until recently, the company has benefitted from excellence in customization and specialized research & development of design with full-service custom unit fabrication. This has historically allowed Spartan to maintain a positive rapport with clients, as their approach allowed for meeting the client’s specific needs. However, the industry trend has changed and competition from international sources has pressured Spartan’s Executive Management to revise the fiveyear development plan to compete with Korean and European firms. The standard for the industry has shifted from customized solutions to a low-price, highly-standardized market. This is not in line with Spartan’s current initiatives and Max Brisco, vice president of manufacturing, has solicited Rick to provide a detailed plan on how to achieve savings and efficiency in a transition to a more competitive manufacturing structure. The most critical step in this reformation is to redesign workflow and job order processing from a job order/job ticket method to a more streamlined and standardized process. This will require re-engineering the workflow of the manufacturing workforce, and offers an opportunity for the research & design component to redirect their efforts away from customized products and toward a working internal manufacturing process. The use...

...Question 1 (20%) In your own words, briefly describe your understanding of application of the lifecycle concept to validation. Process validation is a vital aspect not just for regulatory purposes, but also for the efficient and reliable long-term application of the process. In order to address the performance of the process adequately, process validation is used to identify the relevant parameters, to design the experimental validation studies accordingly and to define appropriate acceptance criteria through process development. Applying the lifecycle concept to validation, measures should be taken to routinely maintain and control the validated status of the process during initial development, its long-term application and until the process’s discontinuation. These measures include the monitoring of relevant performance parameters through good documentation. Question 2 (20%) What activities generally support the validation of a process / product? Activities that generally support the validation of a process / product include equipment calibration to ensure that the measured variable is accurately monitored; equipment qualification which includes installation qualification (IQ) an audit of the installation against the equipment specifications and drawings and operational qualification (OQ) which confirms that the equipment performs as intended; process development to provide documented evidence of the suitability of all critical process parameters...

...STARE DECISIS. Formerly, the courts applies earning capacity in fashioning child support awards in limited situations where the record demonstrated that the parent was shirking parental responsibilities by refusing to accept or seek gainful employment. Philbin v. Philbin 19 Cal.App. 3d 115, 96 Cal.Rptr. 408 (1971) With enactment of the Agnos Child Support Standards Act of 1984, the Legislature observed , in former Civil Code section 4720 (a), California has no single standard to promote equitable, adequate child support awards. The current method of setting child support awards has led a substantial variation in these awards among families with similar circumstances and resources. Also, part of the 1984 Agnos Child Support Standards Act was the addition of the language “ the court shall also consider, to the extent consistent with the best interest of the child or children, the earning capacity of either or both parents. To break the complexity of the word earning capacity, in In re Marriage of Regnery, 214 Cal.App. 3d 1367, Cal.Rptr. (1989), the Regnery court announced a three-prong test before the capacity to earn standard may be applied. Capacity to earn composed of (1) ability to work, (2) willingness to work and (3) opportunity to work. However, Appellate courts have encountered that danger and complexity of earning capacity after the case of Regnery. After such complexity, the court recognized that the second element, willingness to work, should be taken for granted and...
