Deliberating on technology in the classroom took me back to my days in school when the most technology shared at the time included; stereo sets, VHS/Betamax video players, mega phones, electric typewriters, litmus test strips, manual thermometers (that come in contact with body excrements like spit) as well as electric stove. However, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. Today, according to the Community College Journal of Research and Practice, Volume 41, Issue 6, “Vacuum and thin film technologies are critical to advanced manufacturing industries” (p 359). Additionally, utilizing endowment number - DUE #14004080 from the National Science Foundation, the

For example, calculators are utilized in math and science classes to solve for arithmetic solutions to number problems, while smart phones and tablets are introduced in my Early Learning toddler classroom to engage students in intentional learning via the plating of games for identifying and matching objects as well as occasional watching of a kid friendly video. Moreover, the article Technology in the Classroom Versus Sustainability suggests that “Technology also changes the way instruction is delivered by offering educators effective ways to reach different types of learners and assess student understanding through a wider array of options” (Knott,
If I were at that hospital clear cut rules would be discussed regarding premature infant deaths along with sensitivity training. Check points would be set up so that family would not have access to the actual areas where these infants were held after their passing. A separate room would be set aside to facilitate this type of viewing.
“All the cells take in and use nutrients and other substances from their surroundings. Cells of the intestine and the kidney are specialized to carry out absorption. Cells of the kidney tubules reabsorb fluids and synthesize proteins. Intestinal epithelial cells reabsorb fluids and synthesize protein enzymes” (McCance & Huether, pg. 2).

Embrace new technologies to improve efficiency, maintain environmental stewardship through green practices and sustainable operations, support continuous improvement of the business processes, develop employees’ capability, and provide excellent customer services.” (Hillsborough County, 2015)
Spiritual: The pre-stage is infancy before & language and conceptual thought. Sometime between two and seven a child enters intuitive/projective faith marked by the rise of imagination, but lacks logic for questioning perceptions or fantasies. Next, children progress into mythic/literal faith. Here the child develops a
Anyone that has not been vaccinated with the MMR vaccine is at risk for contracting measles. Other risk factors are vitamin A deficiency and traveling to third world countries. Coming in contact with someone that has this disease can increase your risk as well.
b. The emperor Kangxi led the conquest of the island of Taiwan , home to Chinese and Japanese pirates, in 1681. Struggles with a new rival to the north and northwest, manchurians , led to constant conflict and extensive territorial gains for China.
After Columbus mistakenly discovered the Americas in 1492, European countries were soon setting out to establish themselves in this new world. Spain was first to establish itself in the new world, using their powerful military and their navy. The new colonies were completely dictated by the king of Spain, such one of his policies allowing colonists to use the native tribes for forced labor. France was the second major power to establish itself. Their main focus was fur trapping and fur trading. The French quickly learned to work with the Native Americans. The few French settlers, who did come to America, were focused on fur trapping and trading. Because of this, most French settlements were either military forts or trading posts. England
Locals from Virginia had to deal with many different agricultural problems. Farming in Northampton County was not as rewarding as living in areas like the James and the York. “Early inhabitance of Northampton County could not escape the omnipresent influence of the sea…They were for the most part, small scale producers of grain, tobacco, and livestock.”(Breen, Innes 37) What really devastated this reign was the lack of trade routes due to the shallow harbor and creeks. Many powerful storms from all four seasons destroyed the coast. These storms altered the geographic representation of Northampton County. Due to the vast amounts of streams and creeks flooding into the ocean many coves were formed which as Breen and Innes stated “they anticipated not only that the coves were afforded safe, deep-water harbors, but also that the creeks provided easy access to distant inland resources.” (Breen, Innes 38) Despite the deeper harbor and creeks, a captain
What is the probability of rolling a four in the gambling dice game of craps (given two six sided dice)? 3/36 or 8.33%. What is the probability that a player can roll a four 3 times in a row (assume that rolling the dice each time does not affect the outcome of the next roll)? 3/36 x 3/36 x 3/36 = 27/46656 = 3/5184

Active: Teachers can start using technology not only to deliver a lesson but also let students to engage with the technological tools. For instance, using smart-board is becoming more popular day by day, and teachers are using it in their teaching activities. However, just showing videos on smart-boards to students relevant to the context that they are learning will not enhance students’ engagement and learning. Thus, teachers can allow students to deliberately engage with technological devices. For example, while teaching numbers, instead of just showing the numbers and the objects, and asking them to calculate, teachers can give them opportunities to draw numbers with their hands on smart-board. In this case, as they will be engaging with the technological device, their attention will be higher, and they will learn easier.
