her. One of the most important issue she made very clear was to do all your research and know what ECU offers. What I really want to do my major in. That was stress the most today, mainly because she said that she had changed her major three times before she…
by Target, I was notified by my bank that suspicious activity had taken place on my bank account. My bank reissued a new debit card with a new identification number and took care of the activity on my account. While I do not know what the activity was or the amount, I know my bank was paying attention to my accounts and continues that service today. That in itself gives me peace of…
Trying to explain learning to anyone is a challenge I think. I feel as though the term “learning” is not just one straight forward definition. If I had to explain it to someone who hasn’t taken this class, my old definition would have been simply any information gathered and stored in the brain through the use of our five senses. Taking this class, and critically reading the text given, has made me realize that my explanation of learning was only partially correct. After conducting a…
the last few years technology has become part of everyone’s life in one way or another. Students and teachers are getting their technology through the classroom and it has impacted student learning. Technology has positively impacted student learning because they have more motivation, self-esteem, are completing complex tasks and help others more, while it has the negative impact of poor work and shorter attention span to tasks. One way is that technology has increased students’ motivation to…
listen to what we are saying. If we know the child or young person well, we may know how to speak to them specifically in a way we know they will understand. For the context of the information, we would only use words and terms that we know that they would understand. If we were talking to a very young child, we would need to use simple vocabulary that they understand and not complicate what we are saying. We can do this by not adding in things they do not need to know, and only telling them…
It Abby wishing me a Happy Father's Day. I already know that she is the only one of the 3 we raised that will call today. Abby shows up every Father's Day fairly early in the morning and we watch the The Princess Bride. Abby and I have been watching The Princess Bride since it came out. If either of the other two call…
I will be changing her name. I will call her Matti. When I was observing Matti, she was participating in one of the ministries that my church provides for children. This time is called Discipleship Training or DT. This time consists of two separate activities. The first is free time and game time and the second is lesson time which is led by the student pastor. From the information, I know about Matti, she is the youngest child of four children and her parents are older parents. Matti showed…
conclusions that could potentially offend someone. However, we live somewhere where the culture is not rich. Most of the experience I have got working with other cultures has all came from professors and reading about other cultures. My location is one where there are many low-income individuals, and many are struggling with various drug abuse issues. Growing up exposed to alcoholism, as well as living in a location where drug abuse is prevalent has been my motivation to go into this field. I…
I stare at the blank screen in front of me, with the words “Hi, I am Bishwa.” Unsure of what to do next. Unsure of what words that will follow. Getting someone else to know about me is harder than I thought. But then I look around myself – around my drawers, closet, my desk, my bed. All of them are in a particular condition. And I begin to wonder. What do these things say about me? So rather than telling about myself, I’ll save myself the trouble and describe these things. My desktop screen.…
. The most vulnerable group of children centres, are the young children and their families, especially the disadvantaged families. The children’s centres main core goal is to improve the outcomes for children and their families, specifically concentrating on deprived families, so that they can reduce the inequalities in child development and educational readiness (Foundationyears.org.uk, 2015).
