...Identify Appropriate Instructional Strategies After selecting the learning objectives and assessments for the course, we need to think about the various instructional activities we will use to engage students with the material and enable them to meet the objectives. Of course, the key is to align instructional strategies with the other two components. Many instructional strategies are flexible, and can be used in service of several learning objectives, but some of them are better suited for a particular set of objectives. In most cases, we will need to use a combination of instructional strategies. This table focuses on two of three components of course design. Instructional Strategy | Suitable Objectives | Lectures | Transmit information which supplements or enhances reading; promote understanding via explanations; respond to student misconceptions or difficulties; create or engage interest in a new area; motivate reading or other assignments | Discussions | Practice thinking and communicating in the subject/discipline; evaluate positions, arguments, or designs; defend own position; identify problems, conflicts and inconsistencies; get feedback from/about students; draw on students’ expertise and prior knowledge | Case studies | Actively involve students in learning; apply disciplinary methods of analysis; practice problem solving; practice high-level cognitive skills (i.e., application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation); think critically; blend cognitive and affective...

...Migration Strategies and Solutions Taekwonda Bowman 10/18/2011 SCI/275 Laquoyah McDaniel The atmosphere is full of many pollutants that affect our health. Air pollution has been a problem for a very long time. No one really seems to think that the little things that they do hurt the air that we breathe. We deal with pollutants inside and outside of the home. Some are self-made and others due to nature, or natures creatures. Every day, the average person inhales about 20,000 liters of air. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air. Air pollution includes all contaminants found in the atmosphere. These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles. Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Pollutants can be trapped inside buildings, causing indoor pollution that lasts for a long time (Library.thinkquest.org). The biggest source of air pollution comes from fossil fuels, burning power plants and automobiles. These two contribute to about 90% of the pollution that is in the air. Too many vehicles and factories that run off of fossil fuels omit so much pollution that it create health problems for people, or make existing health problems worse. Even the chemicals that we use to clean our homes or wash our cars release toxins in the air that pollute the atmosphere. Cars give of lots of pollutants due to gas consumption and if the car is not kept up, the engine release old oils or burning...

The strategies and methods will show how the issues and concerns for technology will be corrected and turn the company around. The timeframe will show how the information will get done within the 6 month period along with what type of strategy will be used.

Privacy issues can cause the identities of employers and employees to be at risk and stolen because personal information is the fundamental component for the technology systems with a company (“Technology Management”, 2011). By addressing the issue of privacy, the employees and other employers should be aware of the issue. Most jobs require a log-in to be able to access computer information within the workplace. To prevent poor technology, the company has to use legislation and technical decisions or combine them using all 4 methods which are legal, technical, security, and police. When it comes to using legal, the company should enforce a data protection regulation or human rights regulation with the company’s handbook. These regulations...

...Peer Learning: An Innovative Classroom Strategy (Exclusively for Language Acquisition) X. AKSHAY JOSEPH DYLON II M. A. Eng Lit St. Joseph’s College (Autonomous) Trichy – 620 002 Email ID: akshayjosephdylon@gmail.com Mob: 91 5241 52462 ABSTRACT A tension (about the subject and the fear towards the teachers) free teaching/learning process is possible with the peer learning methodology. This paper argues that the importance given for peer learning pedagogy in the curriculum could be mounted up a little more, in particular for language learning, for a better outcome. In addition, the practices in the method, because of which it proved to be efficient when compared to the other methodologies, is also discussed in this paper. The importance of ‘Teacher’s Silence’ and the outcome of it are highlighted. The Affective Filter Hypothesis of Krashen appears to be in line with the Peer Learning Pedagogy. Suggesting some activities related to language teaching, this paper further requests the syllabus setters and the educationists to promote this approach among teachers through further more research in methods and activities to inculcate this technique among the learners, to help them learn the language doubt-free and acquire it to the fullest. An old appeal towards teaching pedagogy, but still an unpopular approach would be Peer Learning. According to Boud, Peer Learning essentially refers to students learning with and from each other as fellow learners without any implied...
