Digital Technologies to Enhance the Social and Cognitive Development of Special Needs Learners Technology use in special education settings helps to shatter the barriers that learners with disability face and provide them access to the most relevant educational resources needed for their social and cognitive development. Using digital technologies to enhance the social and cognitive development of special needs learners. Special educational learners need access to digital technologies for them to have a competitive edge in an increasingly digital society. Technologies expose people to possible cyberbullying, and children with disabilities are at a high risk of being victims because of their vulnerabilities. Special needs learners are an interesting cohort because of the various challenges they face as they try to find their place in society. It is important to find a way to strike a balance between the use of digital technologies among special needs learners and reducing their exposure to incidences of cyberbullying. Even though these learners need access to emerging digital technologies for them to remain competitive, their vulnerable status makes them the ideal victims of online attacks.…
A CASE STUDY OF PEMANCAR Introduction In the day to day running of a company, managers are always looking for ways to improve the way they do things to improve the overall performance of the company. There are several vital areas managers observe when they are assessing the performance of the companies. When a company is an underperforming manager is forced to seek answers as to why they are not doing well. An organization being a complicated structure gives the management challenges as to where to start looking for problems. Organizations have to come up with ways to tackle these problems because they affect their overall performance. In this essay, we are going to study the two models, namely the McKinsey 7s Model and Weisbord’s Six Box Model that organizations use to diagnose change. We are going to analyze also a company called Pemancar, an automobile company that experienced changes in management due to mergers with different companies. KLcorp acquired Pemancar in the mid-1980s and by Nova in the 1990s. The two acquisitions had different styles of control, and this…
Lab report guide:Formation of a Salt Experiment Your report should include the following sections: Aim (5 Marks): What are you trying to achieve in this practical? The purpose of the lab and/or question to be answered during the lab should be concise and clearly identified and stated. Introduction (25 Marks): Explain what a salt is and the chemistry of salt formation by providing examples- talk about types of chemical reactions that produce salts*. Discuss the type of bonding in salts and their general properties (e.g. solubility, reactions, conductivities, appearance). *Predict the acid and base components that form the following salts: Li2S, CaCO3, KNO3, and BaSO4 and support your answers with the relevant chemical equations. Briefly, describe and explain the reaction in question- between NaHCO3 with HCl, and state what the expected products are. Discuss the applications, importance and use of sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3). As ‘baking powder’ As an antacid (more source) As an agent that elevates low blood pH (in acidosis conditions)- reacts with hydrogen ions to form carbon dioxide and water. Explain what a mole is…
Mounting critism of error analysia The heyday of EA was short-lived, however. In 1971 Corder had published a paper entitled ′Idiosyncratic dialects and error analysis′.The concept of idiosyncratic dialect (ID) is a development of the 1967 concept of ′transitional competence′. It also has strong affin- ities to Selinker′s ′Interlanguage′ (1972) and an uncanny resemb- lance to Nemser′s ′approximative system′ (1971). For Corder, an ID is ′a special sort of dialect′, special in that while some of its rules are held in common with speakers of other dialects of the TL (or target dialect), these are too few to ensure interpretability of the learners′ utterances by others. There are also too few indi- viduals sharing the rules of anyone ID to allow us to say that it has a community of speakers. In other words, it is not a social dialect but an idiosyncratic one. Some of these claims have gone unchal- lenged. It is, for example, demonstrable that learners of any given FL who share the same L1 and have been taught under similar conditions with the same texts and…
Case Study: Mr. M. It is necessary for an RN-BSN-prepared nurse to demonstrate an enhanced understanding of the pathophysiological processes of disease, the clinical manifestations and treatment protocols, and how they affect clients across the life span. Evaluate the Health History and Medical Information for Mr. M., presented below. Based on this information, formulate a conclusion based on your evaluation, and complete the Critical Thinking Essay assignment, as instructed below. Health History and Medical Information Health History Mr. M., a 70-year-old male, has been living at the assisted living facility where you work. He has no know allergies. He is a nonsmoker and does not use alcohol. Limited physical activity related to difficulty ambulating and unsteady gait.

Anatomy and Physiology 12 Mutations Project Background Information Insulin is a protein that helps regulate the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream. However, some people have a point mutation in their DNA so that they can’t make insulin. This leads to the body being unable to uptake glucose, leading to a condition called diabetes. The inability to uptake glucose has many serious effects on the body. Your task is not to research diabetes or any other real disease caused by mutations, but rather to make up your own……. Task Create a made-up protein Give it a name Give it a function[unique_solution] Emerging Developing Proficient Extending Protein is not made up. Name does not make sense or relates to its function in the body. The function is not a usual function of a protein Somewhere in between Protein is made up. Name makes sense and relates to its function in the body. The function is that of a protein Explain how the protein is made Tell me its nucleotide sequence (make it 21 nucleotides long) Explain…
Test anxiety Test anxiety is one of situational anxieties, which can be seen in all social economy classes; and has a close relationship with the academic performance of students in educational centres. Test anxiety is determined with disturbing thoughts, increased heart rate, and flooding back emotions during or after the exam, and sometimes is so severe that it limits the student’s daily life (Sepehriyan F and Rezaie Z, 2010). Part of poor academic performance of students and adolescents is attributed to insufficient sleep (Dewald JF, Meijer AM, Oort FJ, Kerkhof G &, Bögels SM, 2010). Sleep problems can cause anxiety, depression, low self-esteem in children, and the persistence of these problems from childhood to adolescence, will be related with use of alcohol and drug in future (Khazaie T, Portaghali P, Jamali O, Khazaei S, Miri N, Sarhadi S, et al., 2012). In some studies have also shown that reduced sleep quality during the test time, and poor sleep affects their academic performance and decrease this performance (Modarresi M, FaghihiniaJ, Akbari M, Rashti A., 2012). The effects of test anxiety are…

B LEVEL OBJECTIVES Introduction History as an academic discipline depends largely on writing as a method of communication. An historian’s aims in writing and publishing research papers determine which kind of writing he or she will use. Many of us think of history as a long string of facts to be memorized. There is that aspect to it of course, but history is equally about how historians understand, or interpret, facts about the past. Historians usually situate the facts within some broader context that helps them understand what the facts mean. For example, a thermometer accurately measures the temperature. It might tell us that it was 85 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday. That’s an observable, verifiable fact. But it doesn’t necessarily tell us everything we’d like to know about yesterday’s weather. Does 85 degrees mean that it was just a little warm (definitely not sweater-weather), or was it really very hot (yeah, shorts and flip-flops)? If we add more context, like the date (omg! It was February 3.), we might think it was really hot yesterday. But if it was August…
