Case Study: The Friends United Network

Improved Essays
The Friends United Network (F.U.N) has decided to carry on the task of painting the John Franklin School of Learning on 13 Martin Street in Spanish Town, St. Catherine. The John Franklin School of Learning is a nonprofit educational institution which started operations in 2007 and provides education for 62 students from inner city residential areas between the ages of 12 and 14 years old who are without any formal teaching. After the students have passed their end of year examinations, they are furnished with a recommendation letter from the school so that they can be filtered into the high school system.

The school would be most thankful if your company could assist in whatever manner possible in order for this venture to come to fruition, which would also serve to beautify that corner of Spanish Town. For these causes, we are asking for donations in form or cash towards this undertaking from your

    In “The Social Networks” by Neal Gabler, he discusses the relationship that television has with its viewers. Gabler states that the amount of anti-social Americans is growing exponentially. He says that “television has become quite possibly the primary purveyor in American life of friendship and of the extended family is no recent blip.” What Gabler is trying to say is that shows like Friends and Seinfeld depict Americans as having a big circle of friends and family that constantly go over to each others unlocked houses, where they eat nice dinners on a daily basis. Where in reality, most Americans don 't have a big circle of friends because they 're all stuck making friends online.…

Drawing inspiration from theorists such as Montessori, Dewey, and Piaget, Loris Malaguzzi created a social constructivist approach, which envisioned learning as an active process.

Based on Dwyers findings, this could be reflected in the actions on Facebook as although an individual may appear to be in a social situation, if when they log in to the site day after day and find that no one has made contact with them it could feel as if they are in a form of cyber solitary confinement.

    To explore the social structure of policy implementation, we drew on data from a large study of social networks among professional development providers in the San Francisco Bay Area in the wake of the adoption of the Common Core state standards in math standards (CCSS-M) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The San Francisco Bay Area was chosen for two reasons. First, California had adopted and begun implementation of the CCSS-M and the NGSS. Second, prior research has suggested the importance of inter-organizational collaboration within geographic regions for knowledge-intensive work {Powell:1996wa, OwenSmith:2004ck, Powell:2005fo}.
