In order to evaluate computer literacy by age, a group of three students, three teenagers, three young adults, three middle-aged adults, and three senior citizens were selected to participate in a simple computer-based evaluation. The experiment focused on three evaluation categories: file management, networking, and printing. All procedures were conducted using a standard laptop computer, with the latest Windows operating system installed. The calculated, averaged scores of participants were…
classmates, I persevered when nothing made sense to me. It was the dream of being able to finally make this game that kept me ticking. As a result of this endurance, I finally understood why my code was underlined with red scribbles when I defined a decimal value as an integer or if I forgot a semicolon (a necessary element to end a statement in java). By the end of the year, I decided that I had enough knowledge to make my first application. Starting off small, I created a simple calculator…
In Chapter 1, the cultures and societies discussed include Mesopotamian civilization, Egyptian civilization, the Hittite empire, and the Persian Empire. Major influences from these civilizations and empires have contributed to Western Civilization. Mesopotamian civilization developed between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers and evolved to three definite societies: Sumer (2000s B.C), Babylonia (1000s B.C.), and Assyria (after 700s B.C.). The first known cities were founded by the Sumerians…

students what the steps are and asks them to discuss it with partners. For example, the math problem a student asked about was 500 divided by 67. After brief partner discussion, the first step was explained by a student. They instructed to place a decimal in between 6 and 7 to make 6.7 as well as changing 500 to 5000. She asked students how many times can 6.7 go into 50. A student tells her 7. The teacher goes through each step until the next division problem 310 divided by 6.7. A student tells…
he supported the 1967, referendum which allowed the Commonwealth government to legislate on Aboriginal affairs. More controversial was his decision to increase Australia’s troop commitment to the Vietnam War by 6 500 troops. Also during his term, decimal currency was introduced and Australia’s first satellite…
"In school, you're taught a lesson, then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson." This is a quote from Tom Bodett. It was proven in a study by the Washington University in St. Louis, that your brain remembers stuff better when tested over it instead of just studying it. As a grader schooler, I was homeschooled. We use the math program, Singapore Mathematics, that doesn't repeat material over and over, it teaches it once then never re-teaches it to you, but it is…
I was allowed to observe multiple grade levels/classrooms. My first visit was to a fifth grade classroom. The classroom consisted of 19 students and the desks were in groups of four. They were doing a math lesson on the smart board on how to add decimals. The math series Dakota Elementary uses is McGraw-Hill with Common Core State Standards written in the corner of the book. When I asked what series of math book they use for example Saxon math she stated that they used to use Saxon math but now…
The focus of my lesson plan was on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory. I chose to use this theory due to an article by Abdul Panhwar on Vygotsky’s theory and how a child’s intellectual development can be broken down into two stages. Stage one is that children learn through communicating and interacting with other people. Stage two is that children are able to strengthen what they have learned by themselves after having help from peer collaboration (Panhwar, 2016, p. 183-184). Therefore, according…
In this lab there was 2 objectives which where to recognize when a chemical reaction has occurred and practice collecting detailed observations in the laboratory using proper scientific terms. Reaction set #1 (1a) place approximately 1 ml of 0.1 M Pb (No3)2 solution into a test tube. Then sequentially add drops of 0.25M k2CRO4 solution until you see evidence of a chemical reaction. The products of this reaction are aqueous KNO3 and solid PbCrO4. (1b) place approximately I ml of .1M Pb (NO3)2…
