...I went through the Collection 2 test and the Collection 2 resources to identify the standards that are being taught and tested. Attached you will find the information I gathered. As I go through the Collections to update the tests and curriculum, I will create something similar for each Collection. You will notice that the document has some blank boxes. I can't fill in those boxes until I do all of the Collections and determine what standards are being tested for each strand of the curriculum. It looks like there is a lot of author purpose in Collection 2, but the questions are not worded the same as those in the Collection test. The students might have done poorly on the O.Henry piece because they were looking for author purpose in a fiction piece, while the Collection anchor texts focus on nonfiction. One way to address this might be to teach the fiction piece "The Censors" which focuses on Author Purpose. You will also notice that I pulled the lexiles for the stories and for the passages on the test. The O.Henry piece is actually on level. A 9th grade lexile is between 960-1120 with a "stretch band" of 1050-1335. We want kids reading a variety of texts that fall on grade level, but also stretch to the next level. The lexile for the nonfiction pieces are above the stretch band. I believe this is because of the technical terms that are being used. Lexiles are determined by the length of the words used and the length of the sentences. Both nonfiction pieces use longer sentence...

Carrying out a high percentage of the commands given by hardware and software that is also installed in the computer. An example of a modern day CPU is the Intel core i7 processor Graphics card- the graphics card is a piece of hardware installed into a computer on the motherboard, which processes and displays images that the computer needs displaying. The graphics card has its own memory built in so it does not strain the CPU to use and doesn’t use the RAM installed to run constantly. The higher the amount of built in memory the higher quality it can process and display images .And example of a modern day graphics...

...Exercise One Nt1310 Week 1 In: Computers and Technology Exercise One Nt1310 Week 1 NT1310:Week 1 Telecommunications By: Kenneth Martin You are an IT Network Specialist and are required to develop the design of the company’s telephone system for its new building which will begin construction in a few months. In order to get a background which will help when developing the new system, your supervisor asked you to research the current Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) currently used by the company. You must research the system components and report back to your supervisor , the Telecommunications Manager, within a week. 1. Describe a local land line phone system based on the following Landline Telephone Components: a. Local Loop a local loop is the wired connection from a telephone company's central office in a locality to its customers' telephones at homes and businesses. This connection is usually on a pair of copper wires called twisted pair. The system was originally designed for voice transmission only using analog transmission technology on a single voice channel. Today, your computer's modem makes the conversion between analog signals and digital signals. With Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), the local loop can carry digital signals directly and at a much higher bandwidth than they do for voice only. b. Central Office In telephone communication in the United States, a central office (CO) is an office in a locality...

...NT1310-Physical Networking Unit 1 Assignment 1: Voice VS Data 1. A cell phone is a mobile phone which can make and receive calls over a radio link. It connects to a cellular network which allows it to connect to the public telephone network. It uses both voice and data networks. 2. A landline phone is a device that has a physical connection with a telecommunication network. One big advantage landlines hold over cell phones is clear reception. Landlines offer both voice and data usage via broadband. 3. SMS stands for short message services It is the text messaging service component of mobile communication systems, phones or the web. It is the most widely used data application. It is used on data networks. 4. A Fax is the telephonic transmission of printed text and images to a telephone number connected to a device. It uses both analog and digital signals. It operates over both voice and data networks, and is a big reason why there are still landlines. 5. A Pager, also known as a Beeper, is a wireless communication device that receives numeric or text messages. It can also receive and announce voice messages. There are one way pagers which can only receive messages, and two way pagers which can send messages. The Pager uses both voice and data networks. 6. VOIP, or voice over IP is technology which enables the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions. Over internet protocol networks, VOIP involves signaling, channel setup, digitization of analog voice signals...

...Adam Wolfe 10/20/2012 NT1310 – Unit 4. Assignment 1 – Copper vs. Fiber The copper phone wire has very limited bandwidth. It was designed to provide 3,000Hz bandwidth, perfectly adequate for a voice signal. Fiber links offer over 1,000 times more bandwidth capacity and can be carried over 100 times the distance than copper can. The chart pictured here shows the specific advantages Fiber has over copper wiring in regards to bandwidth and distance. When it comes to LANs or premises cabling, a lot of controversy, a lot of "positioning" and a lot of misinformation are talked about by most people who speak on the topic of copper vs. fiber cabling. The wire most use for LANs is a lot younger than fiber optics. Fiber use is over 20 years old, but computer networks on unshielded-twisted-pair cable (UTP) have only been around about 15 years. In that time, UTP has gone through at least 5 generations, each time to keep up with the incrementing bandwidth requisites of LANs; the ever evolving technology of LAN wire is hardly the “telephone wire” that the majority think of it as. Below is a chart showing the LANs growth in capacity LAN | Bandwidth | Ethernet | 10 Mb/s | FDDI | 100 Mb/s | Fast Ethernet | 100 Mb/s | ATM | 55, 155 Mb/s | Gigabit Ethernet | 1,000 Mb/s (1 gigabit/s) | 10 Gigabit Ethernet | 10 Gb/s | But still, even with all the efforts that copper cabling manufactures have made to stay relevant in todays LAN structuring, installation is a problem...

...have one domain controller (not recommended), there is nothing to do since all roles must be on this server, but if you have multiple servers you should move some of theese roles on to more servers. It is also important to be aware of what servers are Global Catalog servers, especially if you have more than one domain and even if only one domain, they will be prefered by applications like Exchange server. It is recommended to place the forest roles on one Domain Controller (DC) and the domain roles on another server. If not all Domain Controllers are Global Catalog servers, it is also important to place the infrastructure master on a server that is NOT a Global Catalog server. Recommended Best Practice setup of FSMO roles.
