Hello, I’m Rob. I’m a police officer in Pennsylvania. I work in patrol and I am also assigned to our regional SWAT team. In my off time I enjoy working out, camping and doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In addition to being a police officer, I have spent 20 plus years in the military both active and national guard. Due to my busy schedule AMU was the best fit for me and the only school with the specific program I wanted. To me digital information literacy is your ability to use digital media to gather information. Information could be articles, blogs, videos and photographs. Then to be able to transform that information from various sources in one format, giving credit to the various sources. This media has to be vetted as we all know

    Content Area Reading Summary

    Prior to opening Content Area Reading: Literacy and Learning Across the Curriculum (Vacca et al., 2014), I had never thought of literacy as something that was vital to a high school math class. I was under the assumption that math was comprised of working through problems with students to find the solution, but I now recognize that there is greater knowledge to teach and learn. Chapter one of Content Area Reading opened my eyes to the importance of teaching content literacy. A study conducted by Harold Herder (1964) demonstrates this point, for he found that “students who used ‘study guides’ to read a physics text significantly outperformed those students who did not use guides to read the content under study”(Vacca, 2014, p. 18). Students who were assisted in understanding how to read the material comprehended a greater amount of what they were reading.…

In doing so, they have also discovered that social media can be a powerful tool for law enforcement officers and investigators during criminal investigations.

    Digital Humanities Definition

    What is Digital Humanities? The term digital humanities is one that carries varied meanings, which scholars are constantly formulating, rethinking, questioning and reshaping. However, Melanie Kohnen (2012) postulates that, digital humanities describes the incorporation of digital media into the production, distribution, and archiving of humanities research. Digital Humanities encompasses both the use and creation of digital tools and the interrogation of these tools, that is, to think about how digital media not only remakes research, teaching, and scholarship, but society at large.…
