...flipping the classroom model in order to increase student comprehension. In these studies, data was collected on how well students understood concepts when they were tested on the materials before studying and how beneficial hands-on learning and experimentation was before individual studying took place. The first article, written by Daniel Willingham (Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia), talks about how students gain a better understanding in what they are learning when they try to generate the answer on their own first before reading and learning about it in books and other resources. As a result, there is a higher chance that students will retain and better understand concepts when they invest some initial effort in solving the problem. In essence, students benefit more from experimenting and doing rather than just studying. When students are interacting with materials and concepts in the classroom, there is a direct connection present between the student and the subject being taught. When reading from a book or studying individually, students have a more distant relationship with the concepts because the students are invested in reading about the subject and not actually doing the experimentation. The second article, written by David Plotnikoff for Stanford | News, talks similarly about the benefits of experimenting first in the classroom and studying later by introducing the flipped flipped classroom model. Originally, the flipped classroom is a learning...

...create efficiency and improve company’s bottomline. Once the proposed solutions are implemented, the Account Manager then follows up with key stakeholders within the company to further build relationships to keep maintaining the efficiency of the company’s overall supply chain. As a veteran Supply Chain Account Manager, I am proposing a training workshop to better prepare new Account Managers to experience early success in their roles. The workshop will shorten the amount of time it takes for Supply Chain Account Managers to get up to speed in their respective roles. After the workshop, Account Managers will be able to identify potential supply chain gaps within an organization. They will be able to understand different business models in order to present customized supply chain solutions to align with business goals. Account Managers will be able to...

At home, students view short video lectures before the class the next day. In class, students practice and ask questions about what they learned from the video. Fifty years from nowI, classrooms may start to shift into flipped classrooms. (7 things you should know about Flipped Classrooms)...

...requires extensive knowledge in terminology and multiple frameworks of classroom instruction and management. When implementing different frameworks, it is imperative to understand the role of each concept and how it can be used successfully to support students with learning disabilities. Differentiated Instruction can be provided through Response to Intervention (RTI), the Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Technology in the Classroom, which are all well-known frameworks or strategies when discussing the teaching of students with disabilities. This paper will discuss each framework and its use within the classroom. Terminology Research Project Teaching students with learning disabilities presents difficulties for teachers utilizing traditional teaching strategies. “As every veteran teacher realizes, students with learning disabilities and other learning disorders may be less engaged in the learning task, unable to cope with multiple instructions, and poorly organized in their thinking and work habits when compared with students without disabilities.” (Bender, 2012, p.1) With this in mind, experts in the field have, over the course of time, developed several frameworks to support students with learning disabilities in the classroom. These frameworks of differentiated instruction, The Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Response to Intervention (RTI), and the use of technology in the classroom, uphold the notion that students with learning disabilities are in fact...

...avenues and ways. Teachers do not need to be in the classroom to teach with the advancement of technology we can flip a classroom. We can frontload our students at home with tutorials which our students can access through You Tube, Google classroom, and Remind through their phone. This idea was an AHH moment for me, as a special education teacher one technique we use is frontloading. Flipped classroom is frontloading a student at home so that in classroom the teacher and student can start with dependent work. A flipped classroom helps to fastfoward to independent work, giving the student time with teacher to quickly catch mistakes and help students. The second objective was to have us create a two minute tutorial with Camtasia or Screen Flow. This tutorial was to intoduce an idea or subject. The filming...

...on her cell phone and asked her to put her phone away because there were no cell phones allowed in the class. This student defied the teachers order and continued to disrupt the class. The teacher asked her to leave and she refused therefore, the teacher called the assistant principal and again the student refused to leave the classroom. At this point the assistant principal called the SRO Deputy Ben Fields to contain the situation. Deputy Fields came into the classroom and spoke to the 16-year-old first stating “I treat you fair last year, right” the 16-year-old responded “I don’t know you.” Deputy Fields responded “you don’t know me? Deputy Fields then stated to the 16-year-old “I need you to come with me or I’m gonna make you.” The 16-year-old is heard saying “no” and Deputy Fields is also heard saying “C’mon, I am gonna get you up.” Deputy Fields, the teacher, and the assistant principal were all trying to get this 16-year-old to cooperate with them but she refused to obey with authority. Deputy Fields was allowed to use force because of this 16-year-old non-cooperation with authority. The Sheriff Lott, is quoted saying a student disrupts a classroom, disrupts the education process as well. When teachers are not allowed to teach, students cannot learn. Discipline in schools is a must (Yan & Castillo, 2015, para. 9). Another valid reason is Deputy Fields reached in to grab her arm and she resisted him. The 16-year-old swung her fist and punched Deputy Fields in the...

...to create value and studies show only 5% of consumers buy based off of value while 52% buy based off of customer experience (UPS Training Class Statistics, Nov. 2014). DPS(Delivering Profitable Sales) and SSN(Situational Sales Negotiating) training will still be vital to the success of the salesforce for negotiation purposes, but the challenger model has proven within our initial beta test that it has gained ground with our accounts in a short period of time. With the new challenger mindset, the salesforce provides the ability to show true partnership by obtaining ways to de-commoditize our services and disrupt the customer’s way of thinking. Since there are so many phases to training our supervisors, I propose that our training should begin with The Challenger Sale first to specifically target our new company initiative of the roll out of this new model with the new hires and with all of business development in order to foster the future of UPS Sales. In this proposal, I will only discuss how we can begin new hires with the new company mindset before rolling out other phases of training. Interesting detail The Challenger Sale model is designed to...

...1. How my thinking about teaching GCSE maths re-sits has changed during the course. My thinking about teaching GCSE maths re-sits has changed in that I’m more focused on improving the learning of my students. Simplistically, before it may have been a case of “What do they need to know?” and then relaying what the student needs to know for that particular subject, in a clear and concise manner, which may have been “got” by most students, but then they would have forgot the method shortly afterwards when it came to a formative or a summative assessment. Now I’m more determined to help students learn in a way that is going to be enjoyable to them and help them remember what they need to for the exam. This will involve doing more kinaesthetic and visual activities as a lot of learners learn by doing. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) The course has introduced me to Hodder Education’s range of books called ‘Making Sense of Maths’ for KS3 and KS4 (http://www.hoddereducation.co.uk/makingsenseofmaths). Mr Gough, a maths teacher and one of the authors of the aforementioned book(s) states the following: “My experience of teaching GCSE Foundation Tier is that by the time they get to KS4 they’ve already covered most of the content and they’re having the same content repeated in the same way that they found difficult in the first place so my experience of using this approach is that it seemed very different to them and it reinvigorated their interest in maths and they were...

...Joseph Smith Professor Perunovich English 121 March 9, 2014 Technology and Education Both articles, “Electronic America” by Laurie DiMauro and “What Is the Role of Technology in Education?” by Bill Tucker, point out the positive and negative sides of the role of technology in education. Author DiMauro gives insight on “how technology like computers, cell phone, and the internet have introduced a great deal of distraction into the lives of many young people”, while author Tucker clearly gives publicity to the fact that “instructors are using technology to flip their lessons.” Knowing the good and bad sides of the role that technology plays in education is essential for everyone. In “Electronic America” article by Laurie DiMauro, the negative or bad side of technology is clearly pointed out by DiMauro. Topics ranging from illicit materials on the internet to cheating and plagiarism are covered by DiMauro in her article “Electronic America”. She explains that technology like the Internet, computers, and cells phones have introduced a great deal of distraction into the life of many young people. She goes on to say that technology also allows teenagers to access illicit materials, such as pornography, that they normally could not obtain so easily. She also added that technology opens up avenues for students to cheat and plagiarize. DiMauro also clearly mentioned that “students appeared to have no qualms about copying text from the Internet and pasting it verbatim into reports...

...Essay of your Choice A portrait of Julia Child leans precariously on my bedside table competing for space with sticky notes, pennies, and a plastic alarm clock. Julia has been my role model ever since I spent an hour at the Smithsonian American History Museum watching cooking show after cooking show. As she dropped eggs, burnt soufflés, and prepared a whole pig, she never took herself too seriously and with her goofy smile and accompanying laugh. And yet, she was as successful in her field as anyone could ever be. Her passion completely guided her career. She taught me that it does not matter what I choose to do, it only matters that I do it with my whole self; zealously and humorously. Unlike Julia, I do not aspire to be a chef. Brownies out of a box may just be the highlight of my baking career. Something I have been passionate about for my whole life, however, is teaching. The first traces of my excitement came from a summer camp that I founded when I was seven years old. Motivated by too many imperfect summer camp experiences, I established my ideal summer camp, one in which campers could choose their activities, from banana split tutorials to wacky hat-making. So that year it began, with seven five-year-old campers in my backyard. For six consecutive years, I ran my summer camp, each year tweaking and improving from the years before. Chebeague Island, Maine, established a preschool in the spring of 2012, run out of a trailer by a recent college graduate. I volunteered...

Higher education is the next bubble. Facebook will replace classroom instruction. Textbooks will go away, and some colleges will, too. In other words, everything is going to change. Or, at least, that's the talk we in education and technology regularly hear these days. It sounds exciting—and, to some, scary. But it also sounds like what I heard during the dot-com boom of the 1990s when a lot of companies—including Blackboard—began using technology to "disrupt" the education status quo. Since then we've made some important progress, but in many ways the classroom still looks the same as it did 100 years ago. So what's different this time? Is all the talk just hype? Or are we really starting to see the beginnings of major change? [Read the U.S. News Debate: Are Teachers Overpaid?] I believe we are. There are a lot of reasons but one of the biggest is the way that technology has given rise to a new kind of education consumer—the active learner—who is using technology to drive change in ways that we haven't seen before. In the past, change was usually a top-down process, led by campus administrators, district leaders, and other officials. It was often...

...The Strength of a Problem-Posing Approach to Education The dialogue over the most effective means of facilitating education has been a hotly debated topic over the last few centuries. There are many different models used throughout history and numerous strategies utilized today to teach people from kindergarten all the way up to the post-secondary education level. One of the many great educators of the 20th century was Brazilian philosopher, Paulo Freire. His excerpt “The Banking Concept of Education,” published in The Pedagogy of the Oppressed in 1970 established him as an important and controversial theorist. He wanted to create an education theory that would benefit the needs of the poor and the politically oppressed. His model rejects the aspect of treating education as a banking system, introduces the problem-posing approach for education, emphasizes the collaboration of the students and teachers in the classroom environment, and explains how knowledge emerges through training and constant patience. Mary E. Boyce wrote a pedagogy on critical teaching that directly supports Freire’s model of the problem-posing approach. Paulo Freire’s model of education directly opposes and rejects the traditional “banking system” model of education. Freire describes this model as “’banking,’ in which teachers deposit knowledge into students’ minds, which are empty until these deposits are made” (62). The banking system can be seen as the professor lecturing for an entire class time period...

...Higher Ed Disruption: Not So New October 8, 2012 By Alexandra W. Logue Are you a faculty member or administrator who thinks that the latest technologies are finally going to enable us to teach our students well, or do you at least hope that’s the case? If so, you should reconsider, because the vaunted elements of the latest technologies have been around for some 100 years. It isn’t having the technology, but using the technology that is key to helping students learn well. For at least the past decade there has been much talk about the advantages of highly sophisticated online courses and the use of online tools in traditional courses. One of the significant advantages of technology-enhanced courses, it is said, is that they can be tailored to individual students’ needs, and thus achieve desired learning outcomes for each student better and faster. Consider for example, this quote from the website of the Apollo Group, the parent company of the University of Phoenix: "Based upon the belief that learning is not a one-size-fits-all experience, Apollo Technology developed the technology to deliver data-driven, personalized education tailored to the individual. Apollo Technology’s unique student data system collects and analyzes individual student data, and delivers automatic just-in-time guidance that can significantly improve student outcomes." In 2010, the University of Phoenix announced a new Learning Management System, the Learning Genome Project, that "gets to know each...

...Online School The best way to advance in life and have a better professional career is by having education. When student finishes a college degree the chances of having a financially stable life are much greater than not going to school at all. However, even if student does go to college how effective is their learning? In this current century, a good amount of colleges offers online classes. In my opinion online courses are not as effective as in-person classes, or could I be wrong? Let’s examine both points of view. The use of computer learning has increased over the last years, and it continues to grow dramatically across the globe. The articles I will be referencing are “Technology and Education” and “New Online Instruction Models Redefine Class Time” both come from credible source Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context which help students prepare research an subject matters that are widely important Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context is well known for providing more than 300 primary source documents, periodical articles, court-case overviews, statistics and contains more than 700 Greenhaven Press, Gale, Macmillan Reference USA™, Charles Scribner’s Sons® and U·X·L titles. Both articles were selected because they both point out the information necessary for the research needed. The University of Phoenix also presents these articles from their internal sources for student review. Technology has changed much of our daily life and now it is changing the way we educate...
