Education of Deaf Children

In the United States and other places around the world, deaf people have their own language, schools, and customs. Should parents of a deaf child send their child to a mainstream school where they can be taught to verbalize and read lips or should they send the child to a school for deaf children to learn ASL and have significant exposure to deaf culture? Do you think there might be differences in the way that parents approach these decisions depending on whether or not they themselves are also deaf?

Write a 1-2 page response to this question. Include information from at least one research article that addresses this issue.

Police Brutality in the U.S

Feedback from Proposal: STRICTLY LOOK AT THIS

The topic of racially discriminatory policing is an important topic and a good one for your final paper.

For your paper, you should think carefully about how you’re going to define “racial discrimination” and what type of discrimination you’re interested in. You also alternate between discrimination and “racial profiling” at various points in the proposal–these two things are related but have particular connotations in policing scholarship. You should be clear about what you’re talking about and define your terms accordingly.

My read is that you are interested in racially biased police shootings–a perfectly good and very important topic to focus on. As it stands, however, you don’t actually ever say that this is the specific phenomenon you want to focus on.

If this it the topic at hand, these readings might be helpful for you as you think about the causes and consequences of racial discrimination in policing.

Leading a 10 person team

Discussion
Before beginning work on this discussion forum, please review the link Doing Discussion Questions Right, the expanded grading rubric for the forum, and any specific instructions for this topic.
You have been asked to lead a ten-person team within your department. You know that several of these team members have not worked well together on previous group projects, so you have decided to put the team through a series of team-building activities.
Select any one of the following starter bullet point sections. Review the important themes within the sub questions of each bullet point. The sub questions are designed to get you thinking about some of the important issues. Your response should provide a succinct synthesis of the key themes in a way that articulates a clear point, position, or conclusion supported by research. Select a different bullet point section than what your classmates have already posted so that we can engage several discussions on relevant topics. If all of the bullet points have been addressed, then you may begin to re-use the bullet points with the expectation that varied responses continue.

    Define your top three goals or objectives for the team-building activities for the scenario. Defend why those goals are appropriate. Also assess at least two other possible goals and justify why they did not make your top-three list.
    Select two articles that discuss whether team-building activities really help. Briefly note what you learned from the articles. Did they guide you to select the best activities, or did they warn you away from certain activities? Justify three best practices for team building activities that emerge from the articles.
    Team dynamics include both productivity (task) and cohesiveness (relationship) components. Identify three team building activities and assess the extent each influences on productivity and cohesion. Evaluate how cohesion and productivity are linked.
The final paragraph (three or four sentences) of your initial post should summarize the one or two key points that you are making in your initial response.
Your posting should be the equivalent of 1 to 2 single-spaced pages (5001000 words) in length.
Submission Details:
    Submit your posting to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.

Learning Management Systems

OVERVIEW

The readings provide you with an excellent introduction to the functionality and capabilities of a Learning Management Systems (LMS). You should glean from the readings how an LMS can be used to manage educational processes. By examining the Blackboard and Moodle websites, you should get a deeper understanding of the range and depth of what an LMS can do for your school or organization.

ASSIGNMENT

Read the Clement-Okooboh (2012) and Kwan (2012) articles and summarize and explain how an LMS can be used to support educational processes. Both articles provide good background in this area. (Kwan (2012) uses the Commonwealth of Learning e-Learning for International Organizations (COLeLIO) as an illustrative example of using a LMS.)

Go to Blackboard (http://www.blackboard.com/) and Moodle (http://moodle.com/) websites. Explore and examine the sites and determine the capabilities of the LMS product that they offer. Each site offers an LMS solution for a variety of audiences and markets (K-12, Higher Educations, Corporate etc.). You will have to be able to compare and contrast the LMSs from both companies.

Put yourself in the role of an educator who has to recommend the purchase of an LMS for your organization. You have narrowed your choices to the final two vendors Blackboard and Moodle. You must prepare an executive briefing essay of 4 pages to the top administrators of your school or organization. You must recommend the selection of one of the two LMSs offered by Blackboard or Moodle.

Include a matrix (table) in your essay that shows a comparison of the two LMS products. You may determine which criteria you wish for the comparison. This matrix should appear as either a table or an appendix (in APA format).
In your executive briefing essay you must:

Explain how to manage educational processes within a technology-based environment.

Compare and contrast the features and functions of various Learning Management Systems (LMS).

Describe how the selected LMS is appropriate for your intended audience.
