The project that I chose is called Water Light Graffiti. This is an interactive art instillation that has a moisture-sensitive surface. The instillation is equipped with thousands of LEDs in order to created illuminated art. The LEDs light up when touched by water. Water Light Graffiti is a very interesting and beautiful art instillation. Water plays a crucial part in this instillation. When water touches the “canvass”, it creates an electrical bridge and gives the power for the installation to…

Extended Definition First Draft: Specificity Specificity is a very useful technique, which uses particular and specific words to depict a scene or interpret a concept. Writing specifically is like painting a picture with realistic technique, to make the picture or the concept is deeply engraved in readers’ minds. And no matter the writing is fiction or nonfiction, non abstract language nor vague words are supposed to be used in specific writing. As one of the most powerful writing techniques,…

Everyone learns different than the person sitting right next to you. One of the most studied theories out there today is the David Kolb’s learning theory. Kolb’s believes that learning happens in a cycle that repeat themselves and each concept needs to take place in order for full understanding to happen: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. With concrete experience the person can either take on an experience either a brand new…

for this assignment I was able to spend three and a half hours researching critics and other theorists who have written about the impact of bears in Alaska and the changes they face. From studying the different critic approaches to the concepts that I will be writing on, one of the things that I noticed was that while many discuss the lives and habitats of Alaskan brown bears. The critics will often times state that the lives of these bears are changing, one critic that mentioned…

Imogene King proposes her concepts of persons, objects, and things can be generalized to give significance and evidence to practice. Her concept focuses on human behavior of nurses. She asks three questions inquiring about the goal, functions, and expandability of knowledge in relation to a nurse. This portion of her theory uses a systems framework that focuses on internal and external influences. The main concept of her theory focuses on the personal system between a nurse and a patient.…

One City/ One Book project has been very popular in cities all around the United States because it really brings reading alive and gets everyone involved. The concept of a project like this is to really bring everyone together and help show other sides of cultures and ways of life. The project has done more good than bad because most cities have adopted it as a tradition. But, that wasn’t the case in New York because in an online article on the New York Times website it told how the city…

whole class ultimately becoming a high-context culture. Performance Orientation also took a big role in this experiment. We were more focused on our group and to receive the most points. This drove the experiment to be more competitive. The third concept Humane Orientation, is the scale on how generous and helping people are to others. When there is low humane orientation, people are concerned more about themselves than others. This was apparent when towards the end of the experiment. Groups…

In January, when I first started my internship at the Mansfield Youth Services Bureau, I was unsure of whether or not it was the type of placement I was in search of. When I first reached out to the Director of Youth Services, Pat Michalak, it was with the intention that I would be placed in a position where I could gain hands-on experience working with youth, ages 18 and under, but that was not what was available to me at the time. The bureau’s two initiatives that allow for direct involvement…

Bruner (1957) suggested four stages of how we categorize new stimuli into already learned categories. Primitive categorization being the first stage. Whereby we perceptually isolate an event or persons characteristic qualities with focus on the analysis of features. Secondly we search for cue in already existing categories that contain similar features, if there is a match then there is a ‘feature overlap’. Inferences are made if there is enough of a feature overlap. Comparable to reaching a…

1. How do “scaffolded interactions” support children’s language development? Give an example. • Scaffolding represents the helpful interactions between children and adults that enable the child to do something outside of their independent levels. Due to preschoolers’ increased language competencies, the linguistic scaffolding appropriate for interacting with preschool children is different from that used with infants and toddlers. The basic approach involves recognizing the child’s zone of…
