...knowledge, concepts, and ideas to help students understand meaning and relationships between facts and terms within a learning task (Strangman, 2002). It is important that content being taught in the classroom is structured in a way that helps the students organize key concepts and related details. Graphic organizers are used to help students organize key concepts and related details. They help students map out ideas visually and are visual aids for learning and instruction (Instructional Strategies Online, 2013). Graphic organizers help students be actively involved in their learning process and also helps them discover new information and make connections that they did not think of or know before. A K-W-L chart is an example of a graphic organizer. It is broken up into three columns label K, W, and L. This chart is used to list what the students already know, what they want to know, and what they learned at the end of the unit. This graphic organizer activates the students’ prior knowledge and gets them thinking about the topic and what they want to know. It allows the students to organize the information they are learning and keeps them engaged and interested in the unit. K-W-L charts are a great way for students to organize their thoughts and learning and a way for teachers to direct instruction throughout a unit. The lesson I will use to teach the students how to use a K-W-L chart is on the unit of sharks. At the beginning of the unit I will post a K-W-L chart about sharks...

...Content Structuring Structuring lesson content in order to help students organize key concepts and related details is a crucial element in a student’s learning process. The use of graphic organizers is one way to help facilitate this learning process. Graphic organizers are visual representations of ideas, information, statistics, and/or knowledge. Venn diagrams, concept maps, network trees, and sequential maps are a few examples of graphic organizers. Using graphic organizers aid students in organizing, arranging, and categorizing complex information into manageable components. According to Gary D. Borich, “An advance organizer [graphic organizer] gives learners a conceptual preview of what is to come and helps prepare them to store, label, and package the content for retention and later use.” (2007, p. 271). Extensive research suggests that the use of graphic organizers make the learning process easier to comprehend for all learners. Borich states, “Advance organizers have been found especially helpful for students from diverse culture and English-language learners…” (2007, p. 271). Organizing and introducing a graphic organizer for class use involves preparation. As an educator, it is imperative to organize and comprehend the concepts to be taught to the students. Once the information is gathered and understood, a specific learning objective can be formed. The learning objective is presented to the students in a clear and concise manner. Presenting...

...Teaching is a way of communication. Teachers communicate through discussing, explaining, illustrating, and other teaching methods that convey concepts to the learners. Students receive information from their mentors but they can also obtain information and learned concepts through reading from other sources like reference books, charts, general references or even in the internet. Whatever ways of perceiving concepts among learners, whether through reading and listening, one factor that always hinder in understanding completely the concept being perceive and that is the language. Whatever the level of complexity of the concepts being received by the learners, they easily grasp and understood without difficulty of internalizing it if they are well acquainted with the medium of instruction used by the teacher or read in the reference book for they don’t need interpreting, elucidating the words, paragraph and sentences they have perceived. The reason why some second language user students found trouble in comprehending certain concepts it’s because aside from analyzing the concepts being perceived by its context, they also need to interpret the meaning of what they have heard or read, which needs knowledge and intensive background on the language grammar encountered which most of the learners are poor in it. Whereas learning is effortless and quick if the medium of instruction used is the native language of the learners for they do not need to further deduce and analyze the words...

...Organizing a Cost- Reduction program The Bottom Line * You need a multidisciplinary team to attain significant cost- reduction. Support from the top helps greatly. * Encounter resistance to the cost reduction effort * There are risks associated with cost – reduction opportunities * Meet at least once a week * Maintain an action plan to create and sustain reduction momentum. * Someone who writes well and is good in capturing details should take notes and publish meeting minutes no later than one day after each meeting. The meeting minutes should be sent to the chief executive, the team members, and the head of each department. Doing this keep others in the loop, and it keeps the effort alive. * The meeting minutes should include “living” task list. Team members should provide input regarding the status of each task in the meeting, and the person preparing the meeting minutes should update the task list to show current status. * The team members should discuss cost- reduction ideas in a free- flowing manner. The ideas may come from the team members or from others in the company. All of the ideas should be captured on a paper. After discussing all of the ideas, the team should decide if each idea should be pursued. If the team thinks an idea has a merit, in most cases it will go to the affected department manager. Key Questions: 1.) Do we have a cost – reduction effort in place? 2.) Do we have cost – reduction targets? 3.) How do we identify and eliminate...

What differentiates your idea from the competition (e.g., odd-numbered mismatched socks, chauffer service that gets you and your car home safely, ice cream shaped like a hot dog that can be accessorized)? Paint a picture of how and why customers will be attracted to your product. 4) Value Proposition Highlight what benefits your product will bring to the customers, whether they are specific TJX stores or TJX end-use customers or both. How will it increase earnings or cut costs? The critical difference between the Product Description and the Value Proposition is data: “Show me the numbers.” Supply some quantitative data that supports the feasibility of your business. Find facts and figures that show the size of your potential market, their disposable income, the projected growth of a particular market niche, etc. Cite industry analysis, if appropriate.

...Facility Planning Part 2 Pamela Jackson HCS/446 September 28, 2015 Rachel Rivera Facility Planning – Part II Facility planning for a health care organization or outpatient clinic takes on its own unique regulatory requirements. Regulatory requirements are requirements that have been mandated by various federal, states, and local municipalities regarding the operation and safety of business operations as well as services provided. They are the legal fence between education and catastrophe.”The basic regulatory frameworks and acts that govern the present business operations include Sarbanes Oxley Act ([SOX], 2002), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (1999), and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ([HIPAA], 1996).” (Ezinearticles.com 2012) The main purpose of these regulatory requirements and tools is to ensure that society as a whole reap the benefits through accountability, integrity and confidentiality. The impact on regulatory requirements is based on how they are implemented. Regulatory Requirements Effect on the Design and Equipment Many times when planning a facility for use in an outpatient clinic it is important to research the regulatory requirements for equipment utilized in the care of patients and how it will impact the over all care, safety and wellness of the organization. The design of health care facilities is governed by many regulations and technical requirements. It is also affected by many less defined needs and pressures. The facility must...

...Tutorials, Posters, Panels and Industrial Contributions at ER 2007 Conceptual Modeling for Virtual Reality Olga De Troyer, Frederic Kleinermann, Bram Pellens, and Wesley Bille WISE Research Lab Vrije Universiteit Brussel Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium {olga.detroyer,frederic.kleinermann,bram.pellens, Wesley.Bille}@vub.ac.be Abstract This paper explores the opportunities and challenges for Conceptual Modeling in the domain of Virtual Reality (VR). VR applications are becoming more feasible due to better and faster hardware, and due to new technology and faster network connections they also start to appear on the Internet. However, the development of such applications is still a specialized, time-consuming and expensive process. By introducing a Conceptual Modeling phase into the development process of VR applications, a number of the obstacles preventing a quick spread of this type of applications can be removed. However, existing Conceptual Modeling techniques are too limited for modeling a VR application in an appropriate way. The paper will show how Conceptual Modeling can be done for VR and how this may make VR more accessible to non VR-specialists. Furthermore, the paper will explain how Conceptual Modeling embedded in a semantic framework can provide the basis for semantically rich VR application, which may be essential for its success in the future and its use in the context of the Semantic Web. The paper will also point to some open research problems.. Keywords:...
