Using any two of our assigned readings from Weeks Three and Four,
“How Technology Changes Our Perception of Time: The Real Cost of Our Inability to Unplug,” Anastasia Dedyukhina: https://www.thriveglobal.com/stories/15177-how-technology-changes-our-perception-of-time

“Hurricane Sandy Reveals a Life Unplugged,” Aimee Lee Ball: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/11/fashion/hurricane-sandy-reveals-a-life-unplugged.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

explain why and how the
internet has influenced or changed our perception of time. For example, very few people wear
watches anymore. The internet makes everything much faster, therefore we are expected to
respond to texts immediately, no matter what else we are doing. The deluge of work email
might continue to pile up long after you have gone home for the night. Even the necessity of
working with team members in other time zones has an effect on our working lives. Any of
these might be fruitful themes for discussion, but you are encouraged to come up with your
own topic/thesis statement on the issue of time and digital technologies.

Watch “Front of the Class,” a made-for U. S. television narrative film, about the subject of assimilating both students and teachers, who in this case have a Tourette’s Syndrome type of disability, into mainstream classrooms.

Link for “Front of the Class” with subtitles – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abQG3zBT0fY .


Do some Google-level research about the real-life complaints that you might have to deal with if you were this teacher’s school’s assistant principal. Specifically how did the film “Front of the Class” differ from or correspond with what your research revealed.

Does the film “Hollywoodize” the challenges that both special needs students and their teachers should be prepared for? Attempt to be as specific with your examples as possible.

Honestly how would you feel if the teacher from “Front of the Class” were your child’s teacher? What would you convey to your child?

What are the legal and educational rights in the United States of students and teachers with disabilities? Be sure to reference material linked here in your answer – http://www.pbs.org/parents/education/learning-disabilities/special-education-and-ieps/educational-rights-of-children-with-disabilities/educational-rights-overview/ – and to the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – https://ada.gov .

1) List one target behavior you are contemplating making changes too. Use the S.M.A.R.T. model to make sure it is an appropriate behavior change for this reflection. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Based)
2) Paragraph two: Predisposing Factors. What knowledge do you have in regards to this target behavior? What knowledge will you need to acquire prior to making your behavior change? You may discuss your attitudes, beliefs, values or perceptions at this time. On a scale of 1(being very low) to 10 (being very high) where do you perceive your risk if you do NOT make this target behavior change? On a scale of 1(being very low) to 10 (being very high) where do you place the health benefits on the scale if you do decide to make the change?
3) Paragraph three: Enabling Factors: What skills, resources, facilities, or physical or mental capacities do you have access to or bring to the equation in order to be successful in making this behavior change?
4) Paragraph four: Reinforcing Factors. Do you have a social support network that can aid you in successfully making this behavior change? Discuss praise, possible rewards, encouragement and recognition. Now would be a good time to discuss Self Efficacy, Locus of Control and the dynamics between internal and external factors.

Write a paper explaining the growth of tobacco in Japan.

explore the influence of historical and political forces on the crafting of The Wizard of Oz. In a seven page essay, analyze an element or two of the world around Baum that impacted his writing of the novel and discuss the author’s purpose (persuade, inform, entertain) in incorporating these elements in his work. Additionally, explore whether you feel the work accomplished the mission or were the connections too hard for the average person to see, and as such, they went unnoticed.
