Computers started out as monolithic devices that people could walk through, and now they can be worn like jewelry. The shrinking of computer size has led to many new and interesting uses.

Based on the topics you learned about in this module about digital devices and the MS Word skills you learned, write a short research paper discussing your findings about the latest developments of niche devices. You can search the Internet to identify the latest technologies, or a group of related technologies, and discuss their development. Your paper needs to be at least five pages long, including a cover page containing the title, an abstract page, and a reference page. You need to write up your paper by answering the following questions:

• What is the technology you identified and what are the purposes and uses of this technology?
• What are the problems of existing technologies and how will the new technologies solve the problems?
• How will the new technologies change, support, or extend current ways of doing things?
• Which group of people will benefit most from this new technology?
• What is your opinion of using this new technology? Do you think this new technology will succeed? Or do you think it is just a passing fad, waiting to die off? Can you imagine a scenario where you are using the technology? What do you think is the main assumption of this technology? (For example, an assumption for a 3D TV is that people would not mind wearing 3D glasses while watching TV; an assumption for a smart watch is that people will use the watch while exercising or sleeping, and people will be comfortable using the small touch screen). Do you agree with these assumptions?

Motivation plays a key role in the daily duties of an educator. Students are much more likely to take on the task of learning when they have compelling reasons to do so. Therefore, when students are motivated they are much more likely to succeed.  

Digital Presentation

For this assignment, create an 8-9 slide digital presentation to be used as a professional development to be used to educate colleagues on how to use motivational strategies in their classrooms to promote student success.

Include the following in your presentation:  

1. Describe the role of motivation in adolescent learning.
2. Use your researched knowledge of motivation, as well as physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development principles learned in this course, to suggest 4-5 appropriate instructional strategies that help motivate adolescent students.
3. Suggest 2-3 prevention or intervention techniques to use in the classroom to support and help motivate students who might be struggling, facing a challenging situation, have a specific learning disability, exceptionality, or language barrier.
4. Provide an example of a digital tool used to support learning, motivation, and engagement.
5. A title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s or speaker notes. (These are not counted toward the slide count)

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

Case Study Scenario: You have been hired by XYZ University as a consultant. They want you to evaluate an organization to see if a service learning opportunity would benefit future students and the community. Your initial recommendation is due in week 5 and will be based on the research you collect in your first four assignments.  WEEK 3 ASSIGNMENT: Last week     you described community partnerships and volunteers within your     organization. You also discussed the benefits of service learning for     students and communities. Your task this week is to expand your research to cultural challenges, humanitarian     considers, and roadblocks faced by the organization. XYZ  University has required you to find at least three peer-reviewed articles     in the EBSCO library to support your research this week. EBSCO     tutorial. You will     turn in a 2-3 pages paper following APA guidelines. Click here for the web     version of the APA     sample paper. Click here     for a downloadable version of the APA     sample paper. PAPER REQUIREMENTS:Complete the following steps.

Step 1: Introduction Provide a quick introduction to the organization you have chosen.  Briefly describe the population that the organization seeks to serve.  Describe briefly how the organization’s mission connects to what the organization does to help these populations.  Briefly describe what the organization does to serve these populations.  Provide at least one citation from a peer-reviewed article to support your claims in this section.  Citation tutorial 

Step 2: Humanitarian Considerations  Describe the challenges the populations served by the organization face in our current society. Based on research and specific evidence, does the organization engages in charity work or solidarity work?  What specifically could the organization do differently to engage more fully in solidarity work? Provide at least one citation from a peer-reviewed article to support your claims in this section. 

Step 3: Cultural Challenges What challenges might students have in engaging with the unique and diverse populations served by the organization? Based on your research, how might students overcome these issues?  How might the university support students in overcoming these challenges?  Provide at least one citation from a peer-reviewed article to support your claims in this section.

Step 4: Roadblocks – What potential liabilities could exist by having students of the XYZ University participate with service learning and the organization? Has the organization had any issues in the past that might reflect poorly on the University?  What risks might the student face by participating in service learning with the organization?  How are these liabilities and issues related to the diverse cultural populations served by the organization.  Provide at least one citation from a peer-reviewed article to support your claims in this section.  

Step 5: Conclusion What cultural conflicts are likely to occur if a student participates in service learning at this organization? How might cultural issues or disagreements between the student, the organization, and the diverse populations the organization serves be resolved?  How can the University support these resolutions?  What are the potential risks to the university? Provide at least one citation from a peer-reviewed article to support your claims in this section.  

Step 6: References  On a separate reference page, list all the references you have cited in your paper to support your claims.

 A linear muscle mechanics is shown in figure below. Here, the elastic element, Cp, is placed in parallel to the viscous damping element R and the contractile element, and the entire parallel combination is placed in serieswith the elastic element, Cs, and the lumped representation of the muscle mass, m. Derive an expression for the transfer function relating the extension of the muscle, x, to an appliedforce, F. Convert this transfer function description into the equivalent statespace model.

 

Completing Charts in the EHR  

 

Read the attached article

 

The following quote from the article mentions a problem with data entry errors that directly affect the performance of the EHR system.

 

“If information is entered incorrectly on the front end the HIM department has additional clean-up on the back end, ‘It is “garbage in, garbage out,’ Bell notes.”

 

Questions for discussion:

 

• How do you think “garbage in, garbage out” can be avoided?
• How can the source of the inaccurate data be identified?
