Week5 discussion question 1

Some experts believe that a healthy self-esteem is crucial to success, but what impact does digital technology have on the self-esteem of today’s young people? Stories of adolescents struggling with self-esteem, loss of confidence, or poor body image dominate media that, these days, exists heavily in digital format. Young people are online more than ever before and are bombarded with marketing and other elements that challenge or weaken the development of their self-esteem. The number of followers an adolescent has on social media can define his or her level of popularity and social acceptance.

In this Discussion, you will examine the development of self-esteem in adolescents and how digital technology might impact that development.

To Prepare for this Discussion:

· Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider how digital technology might impact the self-esteem in adolescents

· Search the Internet and/or the Walden library for at least two articles related to the impact of digital technology on the development of self-esteem in adolescents

By Day 3

Post an explanation of the impact digital technology has on the development of self-esteem in adolescents. Explain the advantages and disadvantages digital technology has on that development. Include at least one scholarly source. Use proper APA format and citations.

By Day 5

Discussion question 2

Social media is highly debated these days. One criticism is that it deprives people of human interaction, but the other side of that argument posits that those who frequent social media—whether adolescents or adults—are reaching out for more interaction. What do you believe?

For this Discussion, you consider the two sides of this debate and take a stance. You then find research that focuses on the impact social media has on relationships and socialization.

To Prepare for this Discussion:

· Consider the two statements: “social media gives you a sense of community” and “social media isolates you from others”

· Take a stance and select one of these statements to support

· Search the Internet and/or the Walden library for at least two scholarly articles related to the impact of social media on relationships and socialization

Week5 discussion question 1

Milestones refer to important points in the development of a particular skill or ability. For example, some (but not all) of the milestones related to gross motor development include rolling over, sitting up, crawling, standing up, cruising, and walking.

The ability to communicate is an important skill. In fact, it is one of the first skills infants and children must master. Infants communicate primarily through crying. Parents and caregivers can become quite adept at interpreting a child’s cry so that they can respond to his or her needs quickly and appropriately.

While nature predisposes humans to language, it is nurture that determines language development. Language development can be facilitated in a number of ways: Adults can modify their speech (i.e., child-directed speech, simplified speech) to help young children attend to and learn the important parts of speech and appropriate syntax; play simple games with children that encourage turn-taking (a characteristic of good communication); and use of scaffolding (e.g., repetition) to help children learn the basics of language and communication (Pinker, 2004). The milestones of language development range from pre-language babbling to multi-word phrases and sentences. Individual and cultural differences can affect the rate and form of language within these milestones.

For this Discussion, you will explore one developmental milestone in infancy and/or toddlerhood as it relates to cognitive, physical, and/or social-emotional development.

To prepare for this Discussion:

· Review the Learning Resources for this week and consider the various developmental milestones in infancy and/or toddlerhood.

· Select only one developmental milestone in infancy and/or toddlerhood as it relates to cognitive, physical, and/or social-emotional development.

By Day 4

Post a brief description of the developmental milestone you selected. Then, explain the impact of missing and meeting the milestone as it relates to cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development in infancy and/or toddlerhood. Use your Learning Resources to support your post. Use proper APA format and citations.

need to view what you need to answer question.

Conduct an interview with one or both of your parents about your family history. If family is not available to interview, please see your instructor for suggestions. If this is not possible, consider interviewing your spouse’s parents or another older family member such as grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc.

Note key family dynamics, relationship triangles, and relationship processes (instances of emotional fusion or reactive distancing, general level of differentiation in the family, etc.). Be sure to ask couples how they met and about their courtship.

Present your findings in an informal paper of 500-750 words.

Conclude by reflecting on your experience. Did the Bowen structure shed light on any family structures previously unknown?

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

  M2 Assignment 2 Submission

Previous Next Instructions Assignment 2: Course Objectives and Activities

Training and development departments are tasked with designing training programs to meet the needs of an organization. One of the first steps is to create learning objectives and design activities that satisfy them. For this assignment, you will read the scenario below, research ways to create course objectives, and in a 3- to 4-page report recommend appropriate activities.

Scenario:

Employees in the product service department of your company are in need of training to acquire skills for negotiating terms and conditions in contracts for outsourcing selected services. To provide them these skills, the training and development department of your company is planning to develop a course on influence and negotiation. As part of the training and development department, you have been assigned to develop a module on influence without authority, as one of the fundamental skills for this course.

Directions:

Based on your research, respond to the following in approximately 3- to 4-pages: Read chapter 3 and chapter 4 from Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector by Scales (2008), from ebrary as a context to what needs to be considered while writing course objectives:Read the following pages: Learning styles (pp. 76–81) and Adult learning—andragogy (pp. 81–82). Aims and objectives (pp. 102–104) and Bloom’s taxonomy (pp. 104–108). Develop three course objectives regarding influencing skills—one focused on knowledge or comprehension, one tapping into application or analysis, and one requiring synthesis or evaluation. Recommend one activity to assess each of the previously written course objectives. You should make three activity suggestions (i.e. ideas of skills to practice only). Include a justification for each choice regarding the activity you recommended.

Your final product will be a Microsoft Word document and be approximately 3- to 4-pages in length and utilize two to three scholarly sources in your research (beyond your textbook). Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Submission Details: Use the following file-naming convention: IO6505_M2_A2_LastName_FirstInitial.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named IO6505_M2_A2_Smith_J.doc. By the due date assigned, deliver your assignment to the Submissions Area.
