...future. While analyzing and going through the process of this assignment it is helping realize how to become a better teacher as well. I would also like to get more comfortable and experience on using this template of the paper. Memories Of A Teacher My teacher, Mr. G, used many different instructional techniques and approaches to his lessons. Mr. G had taught me math for three years in a row, so I think that I have a good grasp on his approaches to the lessons that he would teach. He would assign many homework assignments, as well as in-class assignments, which helped me and other students understand and get practice with the lesson that we were learning. I think that with math having a lot of homework is a good thing. In my mind, the only way to learn how to do math is plenty of practice. The more you practice, the easier it will be. Mr. G would also have the students do some math problems on the chalk board or smart board to show the class and go over the corrections with the whole class so that everyone would understand the problem. Playing “racing” games also helped and added fun to the class. With the “racing” games, the students would get into groups and have to take...

...Even though countless adults,teachers,friends and random tweets have enlightened you with the objectionable quote ,“life is a race and if you don't run fast enough , you’ll get trampled”, I outright disagree with that. Firstly, we are not horses and neither is our life a racing track, yet most of us seem to running towards an imaginary finish line. Most of us are actually like Speedy Gonzales (a Looney Tunes character)who speeds through life without actually living it .In fact, I used to be like Speedy.When I was in middle school, I used to love competitions. I was as competitive as the contestants on Jeopardy. I competed even if there was no prize to be won. I competed in the national spelling bee despite the fact that I spell worse than Shakespeare,...

...1. Kent and Jebreel both ask Danielle out on a date. Kent is very attractive and a lot of fun to be with, but he’s also employed. Jebreel is older than Kent, has a secure job, and owns his own home; however, Jebreel is quite unattractive and not very much fun. Daniel chooses to go out with Jebreel instead of Kent. The ______ theory of motivation would best predict Daniel’s choice. Concept tested: Theory’s of motivation Page 399: Instinct theory is motivation based off of inherent automatic behavior. These occur consistently because of stimuli. This is how birds build nests perfectly as soon as they leave their family. I chose A, Drive reduction theory. Drive reduction focuses on a homeostasis in the body. There are needs that ruin the equlibrium, and our brain responds to these with drives, a feeling that prompts action. This restores balance. This concept is wrong because Danielle makes her decision based off of herself a human being wanting to go to the more secure and safe person, which is instinct. The imbalance was not a part of this question. Correct answer is C, Instinct. 5. Juan is obsessed with building up his bank balance, even though he is quite comfortable and prosperous now.

...Movers and Shakers in Education Anna Santana GCU: EDU 576 April 7, 2014 Education has been a concept of the most rudimentary from far back to times we cannot even comprehend to our more modern idea of education. Every aspect of American education was founded or molded by another country’s education system or some influential person’s philosophy. Along those paths, people, ideas, concepts, etc. have been more influential than most. Many United States citizens do not know the impact of the Kalamazoo case. United States citizens know some of the taxes they pay to the various entities (local, city, district, state, etc.) help to fund their local schools, from elementary schools to public universities. What they do not know is this case not only allowed for taxes to fund public schooling, it started a whole revolution of change in young children’s education. (Webb, 2013) Not only did the Kalamazoo case allow for more public funding, the case set the precedent for mandatory attendance for school aged children. This allowed the precedence for child labor laws. Because of this increase in students attending school, the literacy rate increased, but still varied by region, especially amongst those students who were non-white. As “[b]lacks had the highest illiteracy rate: 30.4% in 1910.” (Webb, 2013) In 1954, the U.S. Supreme court heard one of the most influential cases. This case would impact the future of not only the civil right movement, but also, the equal...

...LESSON 1 1. Which of the instructional materials enumerated in this lesson do you often use? Are there categories you have not tried? Why? Materials often used: A. Printed and Duplicated Materials I do use a lot of printed materials in teaching my pupils. I do find that my pupils do better when we are making use of the board but I do need an evidence to show how the pupil is doing to their parent or guardian and that is by means of printed materials. B. Non-Projected Display Materials I handle kids with different needs; one for example is that I have pupils with Autism. Those who are on the spectrum learn best with visual materials that is why the center that I’m in has a lot of instructional materials to choose from. C. Cine and Video Materials Most of the cases we have in the center are children with communication problem, from speech to language disorder. The use of videos is a good help in exercising their communication. With the catchy tune and the colorful or even funny images it’s with, it surely helps maintain my pupil’s attention. D. Computer-mediated Materials I do make use of the different computer program. I am thankful that there are lot of computer programs that I can download for free, from application to help mu pupils learn facial expression, to learning colors, shapes and alphabets to learning good attitudes. Materials that I haven’t tried: A. Still Projected Display Materials Most of the kids that I’m handling are afraid...

...of this study is to examine the effects of computer-based mathematics curriculum on problem solving and the students’ attitudes toward computer-based mathematics. Participants will be my 3rd grade students who will receive 2 hours weekly computer-guided math instruction along with their regular Math Investigations. The computer program that will be used in this study is Edutest. Edutest is a computer program that focuses on problem solving strategies, geometry, number sense, logic patterns, measurement, probability, and word problems that are in line with the district standards. The students will work independently on the computer with computer-guided instruction. During the study, students will take a pre test and posttest as well as on-going daily instruction in mathematics along with teacher made assessment tests in mathematics to measure their achievement levels. I will also take an attitude survey to gauge their feeling about using computer mathematics. A survey was given pre study and post study. This information was used to assist me in planning and implementing computer-based curriculum and to see whether their attitudes towards computer math will have an effect on how well they implement the program. I chose to study math because I enjoy teaching mathematics....

...Angry Birds), I am greeted with two pop-ups serving irrelevant daily deals, which I instinctively close without reading. The only time I might actually pay attention is when a friend emails or pings me via Facebook on a cool offer (Rally Car Racing lessons? Okay, now we’re talking). Most marketing emails that somehow slip through my spam filter also go unopened and unread, as I search for the email I really want to see: that my fantasy football trade was accepted (Tony Romo really is a horrible fantasy QB). The mail, the inserts, the pop-ups, the emails — they have all become nuisances and background noise. So is marketing dead? I hope not, because I’m basically a marketing guy. But I think classic “segmentation” based marketing is broken. We are all individuals with unique needs. And as much as marketers try, it’s hard to put us into “catch all” segments or clusters. As a former airline marketing VP, I have been part of the problem: so feel free to blame me first. We used to celebrate a 0.25% response rate to inserts in our airline credit card mailings. Really? So 99.75% of the people didn’t care about our offer. A 1% click-through on a keyword ad gets celebrated, too. So why do marketers celebrate irrelevance? Because the math still pens out: you can make money in the short term on a 0.25% response rate or a 1% click through rate. But what’s the long term cost? More important, what’s the lost opportunity? For the past couple of...

...Perceptual blocks Sterotyping- being forced to think “traditionally” instead of thinking “outside the box”. Ex. Using a coat hanger to unlock your car door. Limiting the problem unnecessarily- explore and challenge the boundaries of the problem. Ex. Racing another person on foot to a location, while there taking main streets your running through fields and jumping fences. Saturation or information overload- too much information can be just as bad as not enough information. You can become overloaded with minute details and unable to sort out critical aspects of the problem. Ex. When trying to solve a word problem minute details can distract you from the actual problem. Emotional blocks Fear of risk taking- fear of making a mistake due to childhood teachings, being rewarded for doing right and punished for doing wrong. Ex. Not trying out for a sport team because you’re afraid of not making the team. Lack of appetite for chaos- problem solvers must learn to live with confusion. The best solution may seem contradictory. Ex. When solving math problems using equations, you just have to accept it. Judging rather than generating ideas- problems can stem from approaching problem with negative attitudes. Ex. When trying to learn how to do geometry you have a hard time because you keep telling yourself “it’s too hard” and “I can’t do it”. Lack of challenge- sometimes problem solvers don’t want to get started because they perceive the problem as being too trivial and...

...impairments it causes, its educational implications for teachers and counselors, and its treatment and outcomes. The primary purpose of this paper is to educate educational service providers about PBPD so they can be more aware of how to recognize it in order to provide referral for intervention when needed, help in the process of providing early intervention, and accommodate for the disorder in the classroom. Most people go through normal ups and downs in life. Bipolar Disorder symptoms are much more powerful than that. BPD is a mood disorder characterized by recurring cycling of mania and depression. Symptoms of mania may include increased physical and mental activity, high energy, elated mood, excessive irritability, aggressive behavior, racing thoughts and speech, grandiosity, and some cases delusions and hallucinations (Hoofnagle, 2002). Symptoms of depression may include...

...around, and travel to places much faster. This faster pace of travel led to racing as entertainment. To control the pace of traffic, the Four-Way Tri-Colored traffic light was created by William Potts in Detroit. This invention improved the lives of police officers because the police officers who directed traffic were tired of doing it. These inventions were not only created for the business, but they were also invented to help people in the home. Frozen food was invented for the home as an easy way to pack food tightly and store refrigerated food for longer. It was easy for women to make supper because they could make dinners and freeze them ahead of time. Additionally, the Hoover Company invented the vacuum cleaner in 1927. When the vacuum cleaner was invented the number of live-in-maids went down since it was then easier to clean. This invention freed the women. During the 1920’s, women were becoming more visible in society. Women were officially given the right to vote on August 18, 1920. Women are now coming out of their comfort zones and going against social expectations. Flappers, a group of women, would change the expectations for women that had been set. These groups of females would wear shorter skirts and dresses with short sleeves, they would wear makeup, smoke cigarettes, and go out to clubs and drink, while other women got more involved in the workforce. They would impact the sciences, math, literature, medicine, etc. Although women were advancing in some parts of...

Research has shown that driving simulators are proven to be excellent practical and effective educational tools to impart safe driving training techniques for all drivers. Uses • • • • • • • User training Training in critical driving conditions Training for impaired users Analysis of the driver behaviours Analysis of driver responses Analysis of the user performances Evaluating user performances in different conditions (handling of controls) Entertainment Apart from training drivers, driving simulators are also used for entertainment purposes like giving video games a more realistic feel. Steering wheels and seats can be purchased and synchronised with game consoles to be used when playing racing games. 1 Research Driving simulators are used at research facilities for many purposes. Some vehicle manufacturers operate driving simulators. Many universities also operate simulators for research. In addition to studying driver training issues, driving simulators allow researchers to study driver behavior under conditions in which it would be illegal and/or unethical to place drivers. For instance, studies of driver distraction would be dangerous and unethical (because of the inability to obtain informed consent from other drivers) to do on the road. With the increasing use of various in-vehicle information systems (IVIS) such as...
