This Week’s Topic: Freedom Machines  and other short videos( Listed Below)For this discussion, review the video Freedom Machines from Kanopy and the collection of additional linked videos in Module 4. Answer the following questions:What did you learn about technology in the lives of those with a disability?What is the role of the family in technology acquisition?What is the role of the law in technology acquisition?What did you learn about your role with technology and exceptional learners?Site at least one thing from EACH short video and at least 3 things from FreedomMachinesDescribe at least one solution for all levels of technology (no-, low-, mid-, and high-tech) that you observedInstructions:Helpful videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_8b7PgnNQQhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P42x3yJfOo&feature=youtu.behttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv4Ey3jn4gw

Compare and contrast the English National Curriculum with an alternative curriculum (such as the Welsh Curriculum or Steiner Schools) and discuss how different curriculums contribute to the development of primary school-aged children.

Digital literacy is an important consideration as teachers in the technology age. Our students have never known a time when answers to any of life’s questions were not a few keystrokes away. Studies show that our students’ primary form of communication is through digital images and photo sharing sites like SnapChat or Instagram. Social media has become the most popular way for younger generations to communicate. Celebrities use these platforms like Instagram and Twitter to communicate important information, ideas, and perspectives. So in this increasingly digital age, how do we adapt our classrooms and learning strategies to help our students not only survive but thrive, in a digital age in which they live and work? Building on what you’ve seen and read, what are some best practices that educators can use to continue to help our learners who are literate in the digital image world in which they live? What are some of the perceived benefits & risks, and how do we continue to protect our students (and selves) from the rise of “opinion news?”

Educational leaders are responsible for ensuring that needs identified through a formal needs assessment are clearly addressed by improvement actions in the school’s Continuous Action Plan (CIP)/School Improvement Plan (SIP). Often, those needs are addressed by creating action plans that involve several different areas. In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to assess how a school’s CIP/SIP can address needs identified through the formal needs assessment in the areas of the curriculum and professional development. Coordinate with your principal mentor to analyze your school’s most recent needs assessment and its alignment to the current CIP/SIP. In 500 words, summarize your analysis between the school needs assessment data and the continuous improvement plans. Describe ways in which the CIP/SIP addresses the identified needs by using action plans and measuring progress in the areas of the curriculum and professional development.

I neeed a research paper on education for 1200 words using 5 sources on journal article, documentary, website, non-fiction books, and professional interview. Formatting style MLA 8 The final document should be in .pdf format.

I am only looking for some more credible research that can be used as evidence on the following two theories. I will then incorporate what I want to use in my final submission thx. The discussion is not to be on the theorist but the theory itself. It can be based on for example Vygotsky or Piaget’s perspectives, but should focus on the theory not the person 1. Describe and compare 2 theories you can apply in your approach to positive models of behaviour management. The theories I chose are Socio-cultural vs Cognitivism 2. Describe and analyse the chosen theories of social and emotional development.  3. Describe a learning environment that supports positive models of behaviour management Describe challenging behaviour and how each theory can support this behaviour

DQ1According to some politicians, student loan debt is an economic emergency that is stopping young people from such things as purchasing cars, starting businesses, buying their own homes, etc.  Historically, what has been done to alleviate this social problem? How do you think, if perpetuated, this problem may impact you or the community you live in?  What are some solutions to this modern day problem?DQ2Research the issue of education disparity between impoverished families and those from high income families/communities. Explain if research shows that students from high income families achieve better in school. Develop a list outlining possible reasons why this disparity is real. Next, create a list of possible solutions micro (individual) and macro (systems, laws) solutions) that can address this disparity, with hopes of closing the gap.ReferencesVerstegen, D.
