Technology has changed almost every part of our society, including our educational methods. Traditionally, schools tell their stakeholders what needs exist for students in their school. Authors like Fuller (1996) and Siemans (2004) have shown that educators, as a group, have a gap in their perception of computer usage. This gap suggests that teachers may not be using computers competently in their lesson plans. Early implementation of computers in classrooms was an additional activity rather than integrating them into the core curriculum. Other resistance to technology integration comes from the idea that the school day is already too busy and teachers cannot add anything new (Jenkins, Clinton, Purushotma, Robinson, & Weigel, 2006). Outside the classroom, students are on the forefront of technology usage. Today’s students are considered...

...Research Investigation How would a director interpret the twentieth scene of Peter Weiss’ The Marat/Sade ‘Monsieur de Sade is whipped’ in the style of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed? Word Count: 1521 (Excluding quotes and citations) James Hilditch Standard Level Theatre 2/5/13 In 1950s and 1960s Brazilian Augusto Boal developed a new brand of political theatre designed to liberate the oppressed people of the world. Boal was angered by the theatre’s, “top-to-bottom process: the writer delivering the sermon to otherwise ignorant spectators who therefore remained passive receptacles of somebody else’s view of the world” and looked to flip the paradigm through his “Theatre of the Oppressed”. The underlying concept of Theatre of the Oppressed is that “we can amend, adjust and alter our actions to have different impact and to change our world” . Boal felt that, “The spectators in the people’s theatre cannot go on being passive victims” and his workshops became a “practice revolution”. He encouraged his audiences present images of oppression, discuss how the issue would be solved, and then enact a “rebellion”. In most cases Boal used workshops to convey his message, as a result a director interpreting the Marat/Sade would act as a facilitator in encouraging the “spect-actors” , 3 to construct images of oppression and finally overcome it.

If failed it can result in extreme harm to stakeholders, extreme loss for the organization, and/or end the very existence of the organization. Having public relations practitioners are an important part of crisis management teams.

Communication and Crisis Paper Effective crisis management handles any of the threats sequentially. The most important concern in a crisis must to the safety of the public. Failure to address the safety of the public increases the damage from a crisis. Reputation and financial concerns will be considered after the safety of the public has been remedied. Ultimately, crisis management was designed to protect an organization and its stakeholders from any threats or to reduce the impact felt by the threats. Prevention of a crisis involves seeking to reduce the known risks that would lead to the crisis. This would be part of an organization’s risk management program.
