...may determine a better shipping route. Both of these examples contain the same customers and similar data but the first person would have no use for the street addresses in his search and the second person would not have enough information to create a shipping route from just the towns. The type of data used can also affect the information generated. You can gather a great deal of data on the needs of plants to grow but if you do not put the data in the table correctly or put inaccurate data in you will get information that is basically useless. That is the garbage in/ garbage out theory. It is also a good idea when creating a table to group the like characteristics together to make it easier to gather information from the data. Computers now make it easier to input data into tables in a meaningful manner to create information that might be useful to someone. It is now easier to manipulate data and examine it in many different ways from many different points of view quickly. It is in man’s nature to gather data and group things together according to similar data to generate information that is useful for what they are doing. An example would be similar to...

...without! Yes, my speech today is about Computers. Could you all take a few seconds to imagine a life without computers? Firstly, we all agree that computers have changed our lives tremendously but what I would like to argue is that computers have impacted us in such a positive way. Computers run in the veins of our society, it is the fuel that drives our lives and it is an integral part of our daily existence. It has brought efficiency in the life for every common man with the potential to create things unimaginable before their inception. It has brought distant places closer, simplified our work and saved human effort to an incredible degree. Computers have made the world a smaller, simpler, and better place, while transforming the way our society interacts, evolves and lives. But not everyone thinks so. There is actually a belief that computers are destroying our world. They believe that computers make us weaker in the future as we become over reliant on technology and might be completely helpless without it. Others against computers, believe that it is making us self centered and less social. And there are some who think computers are driving creativity out of our souls. There will always be skeptics of progress and I think that computers represent not just evolution of technology but hope for a brighter future OK, so let us start with the obvious benefit that everyone in this room is experiencing, everyday, communication. Computers have definitely affected the way people...

...of students rely on computers for research and to produce a perfect paper for school purposes. Others have decided to leave the original way of learning and to get knowledge through online schools. These changes in the learning process have brought a special concern regarding the possible decrease of importance of teachers in the classroom. Undoubtedly, there are a number of positive aspects to the virtualization of classrooms. One such aspect is how the computers generally make it quick and easy to acquire a particular piece of information. On the other hand, the presence of a teacher in a classroom is exceptionally important due to several reasons such as improving social skills and providing more and more information to students for a better understanding. The first reason why teachers play an important role in learning is that students realize they are not dealing with a machine but with a human being who deserves attention and respect. They also learn the importance of studying in a group and respect for other students, which helps them improve their social skills. Moreover, teachers are required in the learning process because they acknowledge some students’ deficiencies and help them to solve their problems by repeating the same explanation, giving extra exercises or even suggesting a private tutor. Hence, students can have a better chance of avoiding a failure in a subject. Some people believe the role of teachers started to fade because computers have been helping some...

...Abstract—Algorithms are commonly perceived as a difficult subject, which is quite an irony as they have a fundamental role in computer science. Failure to master this subject will inhibit students’ capabilities as they advance to higher levels. Algorithm visualization, as an effort to overcome the problem, has been growing towards gameful visualization recently that is presumed to be able to engage learners longer and more intensely. However, integrating algorithm visualization, game elements, and instructional design is not a trivial task as it requires a careful design. Hence, a conceptual model of how algorithm learning instructions, algorithm visualization, and gamification improve learning outcomes was developed. While instructional design...

...excited in one of my subject EM 210 (Computer Operating Systems and Applications) because I know that it will give me an opportunity to explore everything about the computers especially in the computer application. In this course EM 210, I learned a lot more than what I use to know. I appreciate now the use and importance of computers in our daily lives as well as the wonderful things that the computer can offer to us. When I remember the first day of this course, I can hardly believe the things that I have learned up to this point. I learned some techniques in using the Microsoft office word, excel and power point presentation. I am very thankful for this course for the knowledge and skills I have acquired. I am now happy and motivated that I can use the computer to do many things that can be used not only for my children, or for myself, but I also hope that I can incorporate it in my teaching. I am also thankful for the instructor for all the information that he shared to us and for the progress that I have been able to achieve and accomplish, so far. I have now a good foundation from which I can continue my learning process. I am a teacher because I want to learn from my students. But in this course, I want to be a student because I enjoy learning; even though there are times that I never thought that I would learn the concepts and skills in operating and application of computers. I have learned that I can actually learn the computer without fear. I do not be afraid of using...

...Background paper On Domains of Culture Learning and Knowledge Since the dawn of time human beings have been learning how to survive throughout the world and passing this knowledge gained over centuries down to their children for generations and now into the near future. America is widely known for its prestige college universities and its higher standards for learning and knowledge. As Americans how would the world be if we did not have Learning and Knowledge in our American culture? Today, we are going to discuss Learning and Knowledge and how it has vastly affected our American culture as a whole. Learning and knowledge in American culture has always been perceived as your stepping stone to a better life. First, we will examine Learning and its effect on the American culture. In a famous quote from Leonard Da Vinci “Learning never exhausts the mind”.1 This can be simply put as our minds as human beings will continue to learn and grow as much as we deem fit. Typically, we attend school all the way up to the age of eighteen and we have a choice to make on whether or not to attend college or set off into the American work force. Regardless, of what choice we make learning is going to occur in both aspects of attending college or starting a new job/career in the American workforce. Attending college will give you a better knowledge of how our society works and how to some-what navigate through everyday life. Entering into the workforce you will gain more of a hands-on, everyday...

...Computer Technology has become a big factor and contribution to today’s society because it helps spread cultural beliefs and differences throughout. When looking at the evolutionary theory, I realized that computer technology is a big “social change that moves society into a definite direction” (Schaefer, 2011, pg. 422) where things have become simple to do while still becoming complex in some way. When I say simple, I mean that computer technology has progressed so much since its early years that it made life much easier for us. When I say complex, I mean that it has made us lazier and in a way, it’s able to harm others. Computer technology can become a great tool for living but can also be a weapon. I say this because now-a-days, it can be used by anybody; even terrorist. In today’s society, there people that are able to hack into people accounts to steal money through technology and there are also people who can create destruction by the use of today’s technology which an example would be the 9/11 attacks. Because of technology that contributed to the evolution of planes, this would have not occurred. Within the functionalist perspective, I connected computer technology with this view and realized that there have been “modest adjustments to computer technology where contributions to social change made it effective to have stability within society” (Schaefer, 2011, pg. 424). Computer technology provided an easy way for everyone to live their lives. There are no more struggles...

...Kermit and the Keyboard Denise Addison American InterContinental University Applying Learning Theories EDU622-15601D April K. Adams April 30, 2015 Kermit and the Keyboard “Learning Outcomes evidence and/or results of learning” In the first scenario presented, Kermit has achieved limited learning outcomes. He has attained a lasting skill and knowledge at playing some songs. However, with other pieces of music he has stopped practicing before a lasting skill has been developed. Kermit’s role as the learner is to actively engage his thinking and will in the learning process. Kermit has fulfilled this role by buying the keyboard, working with music instruction books, practicing daily, and exploring his options for playing with other musicians. To a certain extent he did not fulfill his role as a learner, because he stopped practicing when too many mistakes were made. Kermit also fulfills the role of the instructor. In my theory of learning, the instructor must create an environment and develop activities that provide individuals with the opportunity to learn. Kermit has created an environment in which he can learn to play the keyboard by familiarizing himself with the instrument, practicing for an hour a day, and seeking on-line information about features of the instrument. “(Marcy P. Driscoll) The inputs for Kermit’s learning consist of the instruction manual, music books, his list of songs that he would like to learn how to play, daily practice, and online chat sessions...

...Cristian N. Mormoloc WORKSHEET – UNIT 1 Task 1 – List 5 qualities that a ‘good’ teacher should have and give reasons for your choices. Which of these qualities do you consider to be more important, and why? 1. Ability to easily pass the knowledge onto the students; 2. Capacity of turning the more complicated topics into easy-to-understand topics and delivering them that way; 3. Good knowledge of the subject; 4. Adaptability to each student’s level; 5. Knowing when to “push” on some task or when to help the students throughout the task they might have. I consider that the most important quality is the knowledge that the teacher has, followed closely by the capacity of delivering that knowledge in an easy-to-comprehend manner, adapted to the level of the student or group. I consider these to be the basic requirements that should be a must for the teacher – the rest of the requirements (/qualities) are a consequence of the way of being as person, or the schooling environment, as well as the culture of the students, willingness to study, capacity of staying focused, life experience, age, aso. Task 2 – State what you consider to be the five most important roles of a teacher. Describe each role and say why you think it is important. 1. Tutor; 2. Resource or facilitator; 3. Prompter; 4. Assessor; 5. Manager (and also controller on the same rank of importance). 1. Tutor: in my opinion, the tutor characteristic of a teacher is outstanding in front of the...
