...Motivational Stratigies 1) Choose three strategies from the proposed framework for motivational strategies. Explain them in your own words and relate them to your practice teaching experience. A. Creating the basic motivational conditions which involve setting the scene for the use of motivational strategies. Motivational strategies cannot work in a vacuum. There are certain preconditions to be met before any attempts to generate motivation can be effective. Some of these conditions are the following: * Appropriate teacher behavior and good teacher-student relationship. * A pleasant and supportive classroom atmosphere. * A cohesive learner group being unique by appropriate group norms. B. Maintaining and protecting motivation which corresponds to the actional phase. Unless motivation is sustained and protected when action has commenced, the natural tendency to get tired or bored of the task and succumb to any attractive distractions will result in demotivation. Therefore, there should be a motivational repertoire including several motivation maintenance strategies: increasing the learners' self-confidence and creating learner self-aware of making choices (autonomy). C. Encouraging positive self-evaluation, which corresponds to the postactional phase By employing appropriate strategies, the latter can help learners to evaluate themselves in a positive way, encouraging them to take credit and responsibility for their advances. Strategies...

...Communicating Strategically In the first chapter, we examined the changing environment for business over the last half century. In this chapter, we explore how these changes have affected corporate communication and why it has become imperative for modern companies to communicate strategically. Strategic communication can be defined as “communication aligned with the company’s overall strategy, [intended] to enhance its strategic positioning.”1 An effective strategy should encourage a company to send messages that are “clear and understandable, true and, communicated with passion, strategically repetitive and repeated, [and] consistent (across constituencies).” We begin this chapter with a summary of the basic theory behind all communication, whether individual or organizational in nature. We will also briefly discuss influential models in modern communication theory. Although many communication experts have adapted these theories to help leaders communicate in writing and speaking, few have looked at how these same basic theories apply in the corporate communication context—that is, the way organizations communicate with various groups of people. Communication, more than any other subject in business, has implications for everyone within an organization—from the newest administrative assistant to the CEO. Thanks in part to important strategy work by academics such as Michael Porter, Gary Hamel, and C. K. Prahalad, most managers have learned to think strategically...

...1. Open standards refers to a format or protocol subject to full public assessment and use without constraints in a manner equally available to all parties. A standard that is publicly available and has various rights to use associated with it. Advantages to use open standard: free to use (greatest advantage) distribute and modify. Lower cost and in most cases this is only a fraction of the cast of their proprietary counterparts. More secured as the code is accessible to everyone. No complex licensing models and don’t need anti-piracy measures like product activation or serial number. 2. A layered architecture is beneficial because other applications will be able to reuse the functionally exposed by layers. Be able to distribute layers over multiple physical tiers, good impact on applications- improving performance (sometimes) scalability and fault tolerance; low coupling between layers; more testable. 3. A protocol is an agreed upon format for transmitting data between two devices. It is used so that the computer or device must support the right ones if it wants to communicate with other computers or devices. An example of a technological protocol is the internet – an example of a social protocol is the warn function in the online chat application, AOL Instant Messenger. 4. Four different types of networks: *Private networks (networks that belongs to a single organization) *LAN (Local Area Network) linking groups of computers together within a small area using Ethernet...

...moves obvious falt is that its a horrer movie trying to scare, and stupifie however is held back with the limited style of silent films. The stage/painting was used as a way to cover this inconvient fault of the time. Used to invoke disbaleafe and bewilderment rather then fear. With the film attempting to cover its own ass, it leaves little to the imagination often at times leveing me confused, at a loss for words at to what i was seeing, as well as a slow movieng story, for witch I understand is ideal for the time, in a general speaking. All and all this film was the “dances with wolves” to what will would eventualy become more of an “Avatar” version. If this move had been sat on untill they had a little bit more advanced technology, and stratigies available to them. Blazing Saddles is a howling comedy from Mel Brooks about the old west with a script that keeps you laughing from beginning to end, however this is indeed made in a different time. With much of what wold bes considered “amazing, and timeless comady” actually being very controversial. This and all movies like this need to be approached with what i consider a way of life. To be able to laugh at yourself and appreciate the bad as well as the good everything can be funny, even if someone is in salted by it. Although being controversial, the modern view of the movie has changed a little. The film itself lacks any sort of shock value, but still it is fun to watch and probably always will be.

...CHAPTER I A. Introduction Learning is a very complex process which involves organizing, modifying existing and newly acquired knowledge, skills, behaviours and values. Thus learning and academic performace of a student can be easily determined by the grade they earned by the time alloted to learn. Good grades imply that the student learned a lot, while poor grades imply less learning. However learning process is also affected by several factors, like heredity, IQ level, age, year level, study habbits, social status, emotions, and many more. The researchers are interested on the factors that affect learning process to find solutions on the common academic problems “the failing grades of students”. The researcher believed that it is study habbits that has the greatest effect on the learning process and academic achievements of the first year students of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics of University of SouthEastern Philippines. Study habbits also has several factors to be considered to make the learning very effective and useful and it has the greatest issue on all students, thus giving the researchers the motivation to conduct this study.

...Apple’s Social Media Marketing Campaign Apple’s Social Media Marketing Purpose The purpose of Apple’s social media marketing campaign is to drive discussion around new products and to generate new product ideas and concepts for its consumers. Apple has long been a leader within its technology markets and requires expedited access to consumer reviews and comments about its products. A successful social media campaign will consist of many users discussing products and hearsay about potential products. In the past Apple has left much of its social media conversations solely in the hands of its consumers. Essentially, its strategy was to create a social buzz by staying completely silent, instead letting the rumour mill do the PR work instead (Moth, 2012). Moving forward the company will be more active in its social media in an effort to bridge the gap between consumer and company. Apple’s Target Audience Apple’s target audience is 25+ and more specifically between 25 and 45 years of age. Furthermore, Apple will primarily focus on middle to upper income individuals or families with disposable income. Apple’s brand will focus on people with musical, graphical and artistic and travel interests as well as those who are active, exploratory, avant-garde and early technology adopters (MetaFacts Inc., 2012). The company is known to create a sleeker more upscale technological product. The firm seeks to create more than a culture of singular consumers but rather a community...

...BOOK REVIEW THE RULEMAKERS HOW THE WEALTHY AND WELLBORN DOMINATE CONGRESS The congress or the House of Representatives and the Senate or the upper house are the two components of the legislative branch of the Philippine government. They are meant to pass bills, create laws, and approve budgets that benefit their constituents and the nation as a whole. In theory, this is the ideal upon which they were built, they would legislate for the people to best serve them and to ensure the nations capacity to carry out the legislation that they pass and that they are aligned with the needs of the people they represent. This is not the case however, even as we step in to the 15th congress the House of Representatives is still truly not representative. Since the 1898 Malolos Congress to our 15th congress, The Filipino people have witnessed, participated, fought and experienced how senators and congressmen handle the power and opportunity they gain from membership in this institution. The way in which the power and privileges that come from their positions are used are often kept secret and outside the knowledge of their voters and even if it was known it is beyond the power of the citizenry to interfere in most cases. The Constitution imposes limitations and prohibitions and there are also general guidelines and principle of law that should be followed, however they do not seem enough of a deterrent to reduce or eradicate the illegitimate, illegal, manipulative, selfish...
