Virtual Collage Project or Power Point

/in /by

Purpose: As leaders, we are the emotional center of the team and department. In order to increase or maintain enthusiasm and momentum, sometimes a workshop or training can provide a forum to send out motivational messages and create a sense of purpose and urgency to your cohort members.There are many tools or ways that you can deliver or give the motivational message, for example, watching an inspirational movie, giving an uplifting speech, sending links to courageous stories about those who’ve persevered, etc.In this assignment, you are going to create a PowerPoint or Prezi as the mechanism to deliver your message of inspiration and encouragement. Your team will present this workshop in an Adobe Connect Workshop online. Audience: Your team, department, or colleagues in your workplace that are attending your in-house workshop.Some of your colleagues will be attending from a “remote” location and will be attending via Adobe Connect. Submissions Required: Group created PowerPoint or Prezi collage presentation file or a premade video with “slides” similar to a power point or prezi.

Create a “collage” that could be a tool for creating momentum, commitment, enthusiasm among coworkers or colleagues based on concepts from the leadership course.

  • Remember creating collages in elementary and middle school?Generally, people create collages about a specific term or item and incorporate words, pictures, and sometimes textures, patterns, prints, and other art to express their thoughts and feelings about a subject.
  • You are going to create either an actual collage, or a “virtual” collage.The “collage” could be a tool that virtual managers and leaders use to provide motivation and inspiration to colleagues and subordinates in their workplaces, families, and other activities. Think of it as a “message” – but not simply a message with words, but with a more creative and comprehensive approach to encouragement and morale-boosting.
    · How to approach or think about the purpose
    of the collage    :
    o
    Imagine
    you are the manager/leader/supervisor… (some of you already are!)… You want an
    inexpensive way to energize employees and encourage morale within your
    department. You think sending the
    virtual collage may help foster unification, cohesiveness, support, and encouragement
    among members.
    How would you create
    enthusiasm and commitment for the topic you choose in the Power point or Prezi format? How do you create a meaningful message in
    your power point without being overbearing or too cheesy? What was meaningful to your team (and team
    members) about the particular topic that will be utilized and/or applied in
    their future as a leader
    Your
    required content items below should all fit within your overall “theme” you
    select for your Collage.
    Required
    Content:
    1.
    3 topics from the
    Linchpin PDF reading excerpt (found on the content page)
    2.
    You MUST incorporate at
    least 3 and up to 6 SPECIFIC COURSE CONCEPTS.
    Other grading
    considerations: best practices of power point, professionalism, grammar/spelling/convection,
    visual aesthetics, proper use of visual aids, appropriate voice/tone for the
    audience, other grading considerations as included in the rubric. See Linchpin attachment to complete this work.

Digestive Disorders

Digestive Disorders

Many patient symptoms can be tied to multiple disorders, which may lead to misdiagnoses. For instance, consider two digestive disorders of the gastrointestinal tract—inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. These two disorders are commonly confused because they present similar symptoms. As an advanced practice nurse, you must know the differences to properly diagnose and treat the disorders. How does the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease compare to the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome? How do treatments for the two disorders compare?

To Prepare

  • Review Chapter 36 in the Huether and McCance text and Chapter 13 in the McPhee and Hammer text.
  • Identify the pathophysiological mechanisms of inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Think about similarities and differences between the disorders.
  • Consider common treatments for inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Reflect on whether treatments for one disorder would work for the other disorder.
  • Select one of the following patient factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of and treatments for each disorder.

Post an explanation of the pathophysiological mechanisms of inflammatory bowel disorder and irritable bowel syndrome, including similarities and differences. Then describe common treatments, addressing whether treatments for one disorder would work for the other disorder. Finally, explain how the patient factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of and treatments for each disorder.

wish we could live without them – the television commercial. Companies realize
that in order to catch and hold your attention, convince you to buy their
product or use their service, they need to do this in 60 seconds or less.
Advertisers are willing to pay millions of dollars for 30 seconds of airtime
during the Super Bowl.

Share with the class your favorite or most memorable
commercial or website commercial. Explain why this particular 30 to 60 second
advertisement meant so much to you.

  • Did

Key Points

Federalism components to include division of power between central body and constituents; leftover powers left to the states; cooperative fluctuations between state/federal bodies. Discussion on policing should reflect on who the federal division of power impacts decisions that affect policing at local levels.

Objective: Explain how the U.S. government’s features of democracy and federalism impact policing.

The U.S. government is based on the concept of federalism. What that means is that each level is independent from the other in many aspects. It is often believed that there is a superior-subordinate relationship between lower and higher levels of government but that is incorrect. In terms of law enforcement it is necessary to develop relationships between and among the many agencies and levels of government in the delivery or law enforcement services. There are often discussions and debates in policing in terms of jurisdictional issues and boundaries. The alphabet agencies have a specific mission and the training is narrowly focused on whatever that mission happens to be (FBI, DEA, CBP, ICE). State and local agencies have the entire panoply of responsibilities and, while highly skilled, may not to the degree of federal agencies. To that end different level of expertise focused on a particular issue may present some ego issues. Attempting to develop some kind of relationship between and among agencies with different missions and charters may be problematic. In that regard identify a problem that may be occurring and explain your approach to solving it.

Chapter 2 – Discuss the importance of the role of Federalism in modern policing.

Key Points

Should highlight the main points of private policing and provide arguments for or against their use.

Objective: Summarize the trends and issues associated with private policing.

In the American system there are generally two approaches to the delivery of protective services and they are private and public. The former is based on a commercial relationship between a business that delivers some service and customer who is willing to pay for that service. The private sector does not deliver the same kind or level of service as the public police. In addition since private officers are not representatives of the government there are no constraints by any aspects of the constitution such as Miranda warnings, searches and seizures, as the public agencies. However, if a citizen is ill treated in some manner they do have civil recourse in that they can file a lawsuit against the private officer and/or business.
In current times there are significant budget constraints on public police. That being said please offer your informed opinion on this question.

This Unit’s Question

One of the fastest growing industries is private security which has a very different role from public policing. In your opinion what is the most significant difference between public policing and private security? Since they both have a security element to their mission what should be done to get them to work more closely together?
