...convenient microcomputers in the 1970s, computer use in schools has become widespread from primary education through the university level and even in some preschool programs. Instructional computers are basically used in one of two ways: either they provide a straightforward presentation of data or they fill a tutorial role in which the student is tested on comprehension. If the computer has a tutorial program, the student is asked a question by the computer; the student types in an answer and then gets an immediate response to the answer. If the answer is correct, the student is routed to more challenging problems; if the answer is incorrect, various computer messages will indicate the flaw in procedure, and the program will bypass more complicated questions until the student shows mastery in that area. There are many advantages to using computers in educational instruction. They provide one-to-one interaction with a student, as well as an instantaneous response to the answers elicited, and allow students to...

...How to Enter a Product – Once Upon A Child Megan Sturgeon American InterContinental University Abstract This paper is going to discuss how to enter a product into a computer system. Once Upon A Child is a store that purchases gently used children’s items. This paper is going to go step by step on how to put an item into the system to price it for the store. It is also going to describe how this item goes into the store system and the previous owner of the item receives money for selling it to the store. How to Enter a Product – Once Upon A Child Once Upon A Child is a franchise much like Plato’s Closet that resells gently used items. It is important to note that these specific companies are resale not retail. When a customer is ready to let go of their gently used children’s clothing, toys, equipment, and accessories they can bring them in to their local Once Upon A Child and receive cash on the spot. There is a process when the customer brings these items in that let each franchise price their merchandise for the same amount. Almost all of the process is done on a computer program already installed on the computer. There are a few exceptions that are not already listed and involve a bit of research. First, an employee of Once Upon A Child would gather all of the customer’s information and items. There is a sign-in sheet that the customer would fill out with their name, address, phone number, email and signature. The employee also has their own sign-in log where they...

...Critical Response Essay Life is full decisions, some harder than others, but those hard decisions have to be made sometimes for the wellbeing of others. Medical technology is beginning to take of the medical field and is making ethical decisions and issues a thing of the past. Due to this there are has been some debate on whether or not the technology in the medical field is harming the medical profession or not. Some people agree with the topic others do not and think that the medical team should be the ones making the decisions not the computers. The passage, Medical Technology and Ethical Issues by William E. Thompson and Joseph V. Hickey, explains the dilemma of technology in the medical field, and the different sides of it. The technology that is being referred to is the RIP computer. This is a computer program that doctors us to help make decisions about whether to administer lifesaving actions to patients that are dying or to let them die. In the passage critics and supporters take opposing sides to the issue of technology being used in the medical field. Some believe computers will be making the decisions, while others believe it just provides data to make decisions on who to treat. On the debate of the use of the RIP in medical field has two main positions, the critics and the supporters. The critics disagree with the technology because, they say that it is a “frightening example” of the overreliance of computer technology that makes decisions that should be...

...proponents of this argument believe that death penalty is morally right and fair because when one life is taken, one life must be paid in return. This is a complete mistake in mortality. The fact is that every form of killing, even through death penalty, is obviously wrong because it does not make us moral by killing a killer. The question most people ask is that if the first killing is wrong then why do we allow the second killing? The former U.S president Jimmy Carter also stated that the process of death penalty is broken and cannot be repaired and now it should be the time to seek a better way and more moral substitution (Carter,2012a). In addition death penalty is not only immoral but it promotes violence. Death penalty encourages people to response to violence with violence. Bernice King who is the youngest daughter of Martin Luther King a famous civil rights activists assassinated in 1968 stated in an article that. “Having lost my father and grandmother to homicide, I can well understand the hurt, anger...

...In the movie The Princess Bride, the outlaw Vizzini is challenged to a game of wits by Wesley. Vizzini is offered two goblets of wine and must determine which one holds the poison. This situation includes all the four elements of a game as described by Professor Stevens. The first element of a game is players. A game must have at least two players. In the movie The Princess Bride, Vizzini and Wesley are the players in the game. The second element of a game is common knowledge. Common knowledge is where every player has the same information and is aware that the other players have the same information. It was common knowledge to both Wesley and Vizzini that only Wesley knew which goblet had poison in it. It was also common knowledge that only one goblet could be chosen by Vizzini in that they would both drink their wine at the same time. The third element of the game is payoffs. The payoff of the game is the degree to which each player is satisfied with an outcome. The payoff for Vizzini and Wesley was very similar in that the opponent would be dead from drinking the poison and the winner would get the Princess. The fourth element of the game is strategy. Strategy is what decision would be made by the player in every situation the player finds himself in. When Vizzini found himself in this situation of choosing a cup and whether to be a clever man or a great fool, he decided to use a strategy that would create a diversion and switch the cups ensuring he alone knew which cup he...

...A Survivor Have you ever survived an incident so bad that could have been deadly? Souad, the author of Burned Alive, has experienced many difficulties throughout her life. Burned Alive is a memoir which she tells of the painful and cruel things that were done to her at a very young age. She claims to have lived in a small village near West Bank but doesn’t remember as much because she was held captive behind an iron door and was barely given any freedom as a girl. Being born as a girl was the most terrible thing during those times and it was considered to be a curse. They were given the impression to be worthless. Saddened by this, animals were better off than them. The truth is she was often beaten daily for the slightest things such as taking too long to make tea for her father or just for picking a green tomato by mistake because her hand was moving so rapidly due to the fact that she had to pick so many in the least amount of time. Her father often came thrashing at her mother for no real reason. Numerous amount of families practiced this type of behavior. At least twice or even three times she witnessed murder. Her mom would become pregnant and then later they were gone. There were certainly no babies to be seen. She had suffocated newly born babies with sheep skin. No one asked questions. It just happened and that was it. Her close relatives praise her by saying that they would have done the same. Her mother had fourteen children but only five were still living...

...Tanglewood’s focus on reducing turnover makes sense for three key reasons: It is costly to us. It is affecting the performance of our organization. It may become increasingly difficult for us to manage as the availability of skilled employee’s decreases in the future. Tanglewood is struggling to come up with a generous plan to retain employees. Based off the responses given during the exit interviews, our company can come up with a way to produce a better retention plan. Immediate changes need to be taken with, but not limited to: • Implementing a better manager training program and not doing away with it • Brainstorming a creative plan to retain managers • Employee satisfaction survey should be done every six months instead of every year (given the high retention rate, otherwise I would stick with a yearly survey) • The four major topics within the survey should contain more than one or two questions in regards to each topic • Exit interview questions should be semi-structured We need to take the time to invest in our staff through career paths, opportunities, training and hiring which will save the company in the end by keeping the best employees. By having a positive work environment, where employees feel appreciated, our employees would feel encouraged to work harder, benefiting both themselves and the company.

...One would question if technology plays a big role in our daily lives. There's a lot of talk going on about technology in schools. Does it make them more astute than others? Would a student use it the wrong way? Would technology affect their brains in a good or bad way? I do believe that the technology purchased will harm the students’ life. In fact, it might even sabotage their education, and they might learn less. Also, multitasking might cause interruptions of their schooling and bring them down whole grades. Is that improving the student? Undoubtedly, students are a unique population. They react to things differently. They also would react to using technology in a classroom individually from other kids. Some kids can stay of technology long enough to do their homework, or study for a test, while others cannot even stay one minute away from their electronic devices before getting irate. In the article,’ Does Tech Make Us Stupid?’, it says,” A recent study… suggests that 90 percent of us are suffering from digital amnesia.” This means that because of the internet, we no longer need to remember information because we have the internet to do it for us. So what if all the internet went out? We would not be able to learn and kids would feel useless because they would not know anything if they didn’t have a working device on them. They would not know how to deal with some aspects of life. Why? It's because they have no way to connect to the internet and search it up. They would...

...Refera The Pre-Referral Process: Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) /Response to Intervention (RTI) Anika M. Taylor Special Education Foundations and Framework February 20, 2013 Schools and entire districts have embarked on multiple strategies to address challenging areas for students with disabilities and those at risk for behavioral and academic failures. Over the years, educators and policymakers have recognized the need to create, implement, and document practices that have proven to make an impact on student learning and behaviors. Many of the strategies used have focused on the collection of data and the collaboration between and amongst professionals. Today, educators agree that the key to effective interventions for students at risk for failure and those with disabilities lies in a comprehensive approach that fosters growth in student overall learning and behaviors. Several approaches were designed to meet the challenges that students experience as they engage in their learning. These approaches include two processes outlined in this discussion: Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavioral Intervention Support (PBIS). Response to Intervention (RTI) integrates assessments and intervention within a school wide, multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement and reduce behavior problems. The RTI process helps to identify students for poor learning outcomes, provide evidence based interventions and...

...The Reality of Quick Response (QR) in the Japanese Fashion Sector and the Strategy Ahead for the Domestic SME Apparel Manufacturers Nobby (Nobukaza) Azuma School of Management Heriot-Watt University UK E-mail: nobukaza@aol.com N.Azuma@hw.ac.uk Fax: +44-(0) 131-451-3498 Abstract Quick Response (QR) has long been perceived as the essential survival strategy of the textile and apparel (T-A) manufacturers in the developed economies against offshore competition. However, the regionalization of global economies and active governmental investment in the T-A industry in the offshore countries has allowed the offshore QR to become increasingly feasible. This changing facet of QR may spell out more lucrative opportunities for Japanese "apparel firms", which have predominantly in-house creative and marketing functions, to widen the scope and the scale of their fashion business operations, since the economic upgrading in the Pacific Rim will create a huge consumer market that shares similar fashion trends as in the Japanese market. However, the apparel firms' production shift offshore has, on the other hand, threatened the existence of the domestic SME apparel manufacturers that have traditionally served their apparel firms customers, now that QR is no longer the sustainable competitive advantage of domestic manufacturing. The purpose of this paper is to explore the levels of QR implementation, identifying the potential pitfalls and drawbacks of the current QR initiatives in the Japanese...

...as the Stroop effect. Studying this gives insight into the human mind. It can show how we handle interference across a number of different situations or how our automatic processes interact with and affect our controlled processes. The cause of the Stroop effect has been widely debated and researched over the years. Some researchers believe the cause is due to the fact that reading is such a well learned or even over learned process that it becomes automatic. When asked to identify ink colors of words reading the word causes distraction because reading is done much more often than naming ink colors. But where is the exact interference occurring in this process and why? It has been suggested that the interference occurs at the output or response stage as an individual struggles to express the correct color word from alternatives. Others believe the interference happens during encoding as an individual analyzes the word and is distracted from ink color. Still others would say it happens somewhere between the encoding and the output. All of these suggestions have various criticisms. The search for the correct answer to this phenomenon continues. Literature Review In an attempt to determine where the interference was taking place, Naish (1985) designed two experiments, the first to see if the interference occurred earlier than the output stage and the...

...submitted satisfaction surveys during the previous year and to see what the expected number of responses should be in comparison with our peers. Methodology From January to June, 100 patient satisfaction surveys were placed throughout our facility advising patients to take one. These surveys had return envelopes attached to them, without paid postage. One designated individual was responsible for maintaining these surveys so as we could determine the number of surveys that were taken. The surveys that were placed in our office were printed on gray paper. Goal The goals of this study are to receive a comparable percentage of patient satisfaction survey responses in comparison with our facilities. Comparison/Benchmarks A 30% to 35% response rate is satisfactory according to a study, “Survey Response Rates and Overall Patient Satisfaction Scores,” published in the Journal of Nursing Care Quality 2003 Jul-Sept. And the Patient Survey Website June 2011 Article “What Does Patient Response Mean?”. Results At the end of the 6 month period, January to June, there were 71 surveys remaining of the original 100 placed throughout our facility by which we determined that 39 surveys had been taken. We received only 6 surveys back during this time period. This is a response rate of 15% which is 20% lower than our benchmarks. In attempts to increase the number of patient satisfaction survey responses we are getting, beginning in June, we will have our “Patient Satisfaction Survey” available...
