...Reflection on Teaching the Literacy of Professionalism Kimberly Diamante Gateway Technical College Reflection on Teaching the Literacy of Professionalism My article was titled Teaching the Literacy of Professionalism, within the article they discussed the development and implementation of a course to promote development of professional skills related to scholarship. The article states that many RN’s seeking their BSN are lacking well-developed nonclinical professional skills. As such they sought to help students explore professional growth through writing, presenting, portfolio development and management in an elective online course. Each week students were given required readings from professional journals, web sites and other media. The administrators chose to use periodicals rather than text book as they felt it better met the goal of keeping the literature current. Students then used these journals to orchestrate a group presentation on professionalism in nursing. All students met the coarse competencies and student evaluations of course were overwhelmingly positive. After having read multiple articles on professionalism I learned that professionalism seems to mean many different things to different nurses. From a historical stand point “Professionalism” is defined as "a vocation with a body of knowledge and skills put into service of the good of others" (Arnold, 2002, p. 502). Regardless of how an individual defines professionalism, one irrefutable fact remains;...

...Samuola Vernet Professor Amanda Weir English 100 11/26/12 Academic Literacies Project Sociology is the study of social behavior and the socio-cultural settings in which it occurs. It involves the study of whole societies and their basic institutions as well as smaller scale groups such as the family, peer group and neighborhood. (Undergraduate Programs University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. n.d) By examining different social groups in economic, political and religious contexts, the effects on human attitudes, actions and opportunities can be discovered. With the understanding of sociology in mind I expect the academic literacy workload for sociology to require a lot of reading and writing. Examining human behavior demands a lot of analyzing and research. When analyzing a text it is expected that the author reasoning will be looked for. To fully comprehend a text when reading one must take good notes, summarize and/or paraphrase the main idea. A sociology course requires a lot of precise thinking and reflection. By doing so the text is questioned and allows thoughts about personal emotions and affects as well as whether it connects text to text, self or world or another text. In an informal discussion with an upperclassman in philosophy, I was told that there will be two types of assigned papers study and theory. A thesis is needed when writing a theory paper. Theory papers tend to have readers think and evaluate them critically and address the issue of how...

...Sponsors and Socioeconomic Status Socioeconomic status most of the time paves the way for the degree of literacy abilities someone will acquire throughout their life. It has a tremendous impact on how a person’s reading/writing identity is formed. This is largely due to the fact that there are different standards of literacy sponsors for each socioeconomic class, as well as accessibility. The writing we do can take many different forms that represent different extensions of ourselves. We are able to adapt our writing to our surroundings, just like we can adapt our identity to fit certain people or scenarios. Writing is situational and writing helps shape ideologies and ideologies make up part of someone’s identity. Literacy sponsors...

...Education in the United States: A Reflection was interesting because it told the history of Special Education. It talked about how Special Education teachers should stand up for the kids in their class and do everything they could to help their students succeed. It discussed the high turnover rate among Special Education teachers and stated that support from principals, administrators, and even legislators are extremely important and much needed by Special Education teachers. The article was scholarly because it was written and researched by five professors in the Special Education Unit from the University of Nigeria. The second article Using Tablet Computers as Instructional Tools to Increase Task Completion by Students with Autism struck me because I am currently using an IPAD to do math and literacy with my Pre-K students. I wanted to see the findings in their case study to see if it was good or not for our students. I found that it is beneficial but the study showed mixed reviews. The study was done in a class of 7 in Maryland over a 4 week period. This article is considered scholarly because it was written by 3 women, all of whom are educators or directors of Special Education, which work at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. The last article was The relationship between autism spectrum disorders and symptoms of conduct problems: The moderating effect of communication. I picked this one because I have a little boy in my class and I sometimes wonder if he has...

It is introduced as an approach to encourage and embed student reflection on the activities in which they were engaged, recognizing that reflection can be enhanced as a collaborative process. It employs digital technology to construct narrative. Using digital technologies, students can turn a one-dimensional writing composition into a digital story that can be published and shared to a small, intimate audience or with the world. It is a process that blends media to enrich and enhance the written or spoken word. It may have a narration overlay and a music background and may combine images, audio, and video to tell a story or make a factual presentation ( Frazel ,2010; Jenkins and Lonsdale, 2007 ;Miller,2004;Sylvester and Greenidge,...

...(The Electronic Exercise) and EF-editor (Exercise Format Editor) can serve socialconstructive language learning from a distributed cognition point of view, (b) to report how TEE and EF-editor have been used in a foreign language classroom with 25 seventh grade students for creating a Web-based tourist guide to London, and (c) to present the results of an evaluative study investigating the benefits and constraints the teacher and students experienced through this learning scenario. Finally, these results are discussed with regard to the heuristic value of distributed cognition for technology-enhanced social-constructive learning-scenarios. (Keywords: Distributed cognition, multimedia tool, social-constructive language learning, multimedia literacy.) INTRODUCTION Foreign language learning is crucial to students’ academic and personal education. In many domains, a person’s professional and individual success is related more or less to her ability to communicate at least in one if not several foreign languages. Acquiring communication skills is only possible if students develop skills in understanding and producing oral and written texts. As print is no longer the dominant media format, this includes understanding and producing language artifacts with all forms of print and electronic media. Hence, foreign language teachers should develop and...

...I took spanish classes from my freshman year to my senior year, from Spanish 2 all the way up to IB Spanish HL2. Through this four years i was able to demonstrate global literacy skills. In spanish class especially when i joined IB spanish i was able to read books writing my native spanish speaking authors. From all the books we read, i really enjoyed reading a book called “Una Cronica de una Muerte Anunciada” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I enjoyed this book because i was able to learn diverse cultural,linguistic and artistic expressions. Even Though Spanish is my first language, reading a book writing by an author from Colombia exposed me to a new type of spanish i had never encountered before. It also helped me expand my lexicon in spanish, since Gabriel Garcia Marquez used a lot of really advanced words i had never heard before....

...Effects of Mass Media HUM/186 Jennifer Williams July 27, 2015 Valerie Whelton Digital media forms have fundamentally overturned traditional media business models, the ways we engage with and consume media products, the way we interact with one another, and the ways we organize our daily lives around various media choices (Campbell. Martin, and Fabos, 2015). The major developments in the evolution of mass media during the last century were film and radio. The 1950’s and 1960’s also brought about dramatic electronic change with the invention of the television. The printing press led to nationalism that in turn nourished the idea of idealism (Campbell. Martin, and Fabos, 2015). Society began to rely less on their community and traditional leadership for insight and guidance. This newfound individualism proclaimed the rise of commerce and increased resistance to government interference in the business dealings of independent business owners. The democratic impulse of individualism became a fundamental value in American society in the nineteenth and twentieth century’s (Campbell. Martin, and Fabos, 2015). The creation of the telegraph in the late 1860’s paved the way for future technological inventions such as the wireless telegraphy (later named radio), the fax machine, and the cell phone. Digital communication has changed the way we watch television, read newspapers and magazines, and even attend school. Digital technology has influenced the American culture...
