Technology as a Means to Learning

 The authors of the textbook explain that “The implementation of educational technology itself is not the objective of instruction. Instead, the reason for integrating technology is to be a support and a means to the instruction necessary to meet identified standards for 21st century learning” (Lever-Duffy & McDonald, 2015, p.3). 

• What does it mean for educational technology to be the objective of instruction?
• Why is this view towards educational technology stated in this quote relevant to the field of teaching and learning with technology? 
• What can you do in your career to ensure that you are using technology as a means to instruction, and not the objective of instruction?

Write a 750 word minimum assignment regarding IFRS versus. GAAP. The summary should be structured in a subject-by-subject format. Include an introduction and a conclusion. Your discussion should include the answers to the following:

• IFRS 2-1: In what ways does the format of a statement of financial or position under IFRS often differ from a balance sheet presented under GAAP?

• IFRS 2-3: What terms commonly used under IFRS are synonymous with common stock and balance sheet?

3.4: Written Assignment: Liz Noble Case Study:

LIZ NOBLE: Healthy Classroom Environments

“Can I please sit on the other side of the room? Joey’s distracting me,” said a lanky teenage boy in the back of the classroom. “Sure thing Isaiah,” said Ms. Noble, his 9^thgrade Earth Science teacher. Isaiah banged his books, gave a few “high fives” to some friends, knocked some chairs out of the way and finally found a seat on the other side of the room. Immediately, another student, Dawn, asked to get a drink of water. Ms. Noble told her to go out and get a drink quickly. Another student reported that he was distracted and wondered if he could hold the class “stress ball”. By this point, the entire class was chatting and Ms. Noble had to repeatedly ask the students to settle down. She didn’t want to yell at them because she felt like her students were yelled at for the rest of the day in their homes and communities. She wanted her classroom to be a positive, supportive place. For this reason, she rarely follows through on disciplining her students, and will usually give in to their demands.

Liz Noble is a new Earth Science teacher in a large high need urban school. She has over thirty students in each of her Earth Science classes, with a variety of strengths, weaknesses and needs. Liz had very little classroom experience before being hired at this school, and hadn’t had a lot of time to try out her ideas about classroom management and instruction before her first day of school. She has been teaching for about 3 months and has seen a gradual deterioration in her ability to manage her classes. She finds that she struggles to get through the material most days because her students want to talk about other things or move around the classroom, or hear about what she is involved in outside of school. It is clear that her students like her and enjoy talking with her.

This all came to a head one day when a student in her 3^rd period class slapped another student (and laughed, making it seem like a joke). Liz reacted very strongly and asked the student who had done the slapping to leave the room. She picked up the phone to call a hall monitor to escort the student to the office. This student immediately screamed at her “I was joking you bitch!” The other students started getting involved in the conflict and the room was in complete chaos when the hall monitor came in and dragged the student, still yelling “I was joking you bitch!” down the hall. Unable to get control back in her classroom, and only having 3 minutes left before the bell, Liz just dismissed her class without talking with them about this event.

Written Assignment:

In your paper, please explore each of the following issues based on the readings you have done in this module and/or outside sources.

• 1) What are Liz’s biggest issues in terms of classroom management?
• 2) What does Liz need to do immediately in terms of dealing with this specific issue in her classroom?
• 3) What can Liz do over the long term to improve the level of engagement in her classroom?
• 4) What are some best practices that Liz might use next year that would avoid this kind of a situation?

Please be sure to support your ideas with references (in APA style) to readings and/or outside sources. Your paper should be 5 typewritten, pages (not including your cover page and references section) and submitted in this dropbox.

Principles of Marketing Homework help

Unit I Research Project 

Marketing Plan 

In application of the concepts learned in this course, you will research an EXISTING publicly traded company compiling a comprehensive marketing plan for this company throughout the course. Note that this is NOT a hypothetical entrepreneurial venture but instead an existing publicly traded company, of your choice. Utilizing the CSU Online Library, you will research the various elements of the marketing plan as it relates to this company. In Unit I you will provide a Company Overview and a PEST Analysis. 

Company Overview 

This section will provide the reader with a general understanding of the company and product/service offered by the company creating the value proposition for the customer. You might include general information about the company and industry and product/service. Additional general information might include the size of company, location, NAISC code, mission/vision/objectives, or any other general information about the company. 

PEST Analysis 

The purpose of this section of the marketing plan is to describe how changes in the business environment will affect the company. This will be achieved by the use of the PEST Analysis, which attempts to review how changes in the political/legal environment will affect your company, how changes in the economic environment will affect the company, how changes in the socio-cultural environment will affect your company, and finally, how changes (advancements) in technology will affect your company. 

Your submission should be a minimum of two pages in length, double-spaced with a reference page and title page. References should include at least one additional, credible reference beyond the textbook. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations and cited per APA guidelines. Include the use of subheadings (this week consider using Company Overview and PEST Analysis). 

To determine the company you would like to research you may want to do a general search for “existing publicly traded company” or “publicly traded company list”. If you have questions about what a publicly traded company is or if the company you have chosen will work for this assignment please reach out to your professor. If you need assistance with utilizing the CSU Online Library, please reach out to the CSU Online Library and a Librarian will assist you.
