...Digital Citizenship and Cyberbullying Digital citizenship and cyberbullying education is imperative for all students beginning at an early age. When it comes to digital citizenship students should be aware of the 9 Ps. The 9 Ps are; passwords, privacy, personal information, photographs, property, permission, professionalism, and personal brand. All passwords and personal information should be kept private, and the students should be cautious of who they share any information with. Property and permission is regarding sources, and other information the students find online.

...Code Meshing vs. Code Switching: Which One Should be Taught in Schools? In the article “Twitterish,” John McWhorter explains the need for different forms of literacy and multimodality – Standard English and new digital literacies. He also, in a way, talks about code switching and code meshing because he shows how people can switch between different literacies and how they can also incorporate both Standard English and digital literacies into speech and writing together. John White’s paper goes into much greater detail about what code switching is and how to teach it in schools. He says that code switching – the act of changing from a culturally imbued discourse to Standard English, but not necessarily vice versa – is a priority to teach to...

...has undergone huge overhauls and revamps. With the advancement of technology, companies are constantly seeking new ways to increase profits and further business adventures. Viewing The UK music industry, we see that “total UK music revenues fell by 4.8 per cent, to £3.8bn. Both recorded and live music saw revenue fall by the order of 7 per cent.” (BOP consultants 2011). The internet, file sharing, music videos and live streaming of music, are rapidly changing the face of the music industry. To sensibly suggest a recommended strategy we need to analyse WMG to gain an understanding of where future focus needs to lie. Over the years, WMG has grown a hugely successful Brand name. Its image is noticeable worldwide promoting images of professionalism, efficiency and technology advancements. It further has hundreds of world renowned and prominent artists in their ranks. Names such as “Madonna, Oasis, Nickelback, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Adam Sandler” are some which emphasis the strength of their brand. Being such a large company comes with advantages and disadvantages. The company therefore needs to ensure it does not focus too much on one project while shying away from others. Maintaining the right balance is essential. Furthermore, vision towards the future will allow WMG to build upon opportunities that are entering the fray in the music industry. WMG have the chance to seize upon a market that are turning their backs on traditional ways to access their music and entering new and...

...Are libraries finished? Five arguments for and against By Peter Jackson BBC News With more than 400 public libraries under threat of closure, the campaign to save them is gathering pace. But in an age of downloads, cheap books and easy online shopping, can this great British institution survive? Some of the UK's best-selling authors have joined the fight against "cultural vandalism" by backing a national day of protest read-ins against library closures on Saturday. But no matter how eloquently Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy or author Colin Dexter extol their virtues, the fact is library visitor numbers - like their budgets - are falling. Campaigners say they are irreplaceable doors to learning more relevant now than ever before, but for others the speed and breadth of the web has rendered them obsolete dinosaurs. So what can the internet provide that a library can't, and when is there simply no online substitute for a trip to your local library? Here are five examples on either side: ------------------------------------------------- Only at a library 1. Specialist research As tempting as it is to view the web as a tool for gathering all information, there are gaps only library documents, books and maps can fill. Local and family historians as well as academic and historical researchers are among those who still rely heavily on paper and print. Historian and author Andrew Dalby, 63, who edits pages for online encyclopaedia Wikipedia from his home in France, says he still...

...Trap-Ease America: The Big Cheese of Mousetraps Trap Ease America is the number “ONE” mouse trap that has been in the market for many years. Is easy and safety to use. User can dispose of the mouse while is still alive, or the user could leave it alone for a few hours to suffocate inside the trap. Trap Ease had won a contest and beat 300 new products. According to people magazine, Trap Ease has brought a lot of attention and therefore they have a high demand. But Trap Ease had not actualized the demand. A group of investors invested into Trap Ease and hired a retired rancher and Martha to serve as president to develop and manage the Trap Ease America organization. Questions for Discussion 1. The first step Martha and her team need is the 4 C’s. The 4 C’s consists of Customer Needs & want, Cost to customer, Convenience and Communication ( Robert L). My mission statement would be “to catch a mouse, NOW is “Safe and Easier”. To catch a mouse is “Cheaper and faster”, Trap Ease is the Solution to the mouse problems and child proof. 2. Martha has identified a few market segments (Women/ concern about mouse), but in my opinion; she has not been productive about it. In fact, Martha is having issues with building strong customer relationship. One market segment I will build will be a partner relationship management team. This team not only will recognize the 4c’s but also build an organizational culture for Trap Ease America organization. This team’s strategy will study...

...The invention of the printing press by Gutenberg in 1450 marked the beginning of what was to become a revolution of knowledge, information, and power around the world. The Church used the press for exactly these reasons, printing thousands of Indulgences to sinners, in an effort no doubt to increase profits, and attendance. Now, nearly 600 years later-the mass media has honed the power of this technology, and become more pervasive than anything humanity has ever encountered. Looking at antiwar movements over the last 60 years, the media has been used to influence the mentality of millions in two very dichotomous ways. Meaning, the media has helped shape public opinion to be either for or against these movements depending on the pressures and demands of the times. Traditionally, print media industry has treated antiwar protestors as if they were disobedient children. In movies such as Across the Universe, protestors are portrayed as young hippies who do not fully understand the rationale and benefits behind war. Often the media presents us with one-sided information that is meant to persuade us to accept a message that we are not familiar. In the case of antiwar protests back in the Vietnam Era, the media while covering the issue equally with government/military administration, often only covered the more colorful aspects of the antiwar movement. While articles have been published about the tendency of the media during this time to be in favor of the antiwar sentiment, many scholars...

...Professional Grammar Grammar is a hot topic in our digital age. With phrases such as “I can haz chezberger?” and “Grammar Nazi” floating around various websites, and the capability of shortening every type of written correspondence, it is easy to become lazy with written word. But, to what end? Is it not possible, even though these “memes” may be in good humor, and that shorthand is just a tool in our busy lives- that it is truly an indicative sign of how our current generation views proper writing in our hyped-up, technological society? I think so. Therefore, proper grammar and correct writing mechanics are essential to success in various facets of our professional and personal endeavors. In the professional world, words always provide the first impression. From a simple greeting of a handshake and “hello,” to a resume submitted by an applicant, correct language is crucial. As a matter of fact, that first impression can depend on if a potential employee lands a job or not. Kyle Wiens, an author for Harvard Business Review, states “If you think a semicolon is a regular colon with an identity crisis, I will not hire you. If you scatter commas into a sentence with all the discrimination of a shotgun, you might make it to the foyer before we politely escort you from the building.” While his approach may err on the side of extreme, it still strikes a chord with many. Grammar is paramount to ensuring communication is concise and accurate in any situation. Anything less, and...

...individual instructor’s schoolrooms and lessons teachers are taking to the internet and creating classroom websites to services these needs. It is important for one to remember “It is not about the technology; it’s about sharing knowledge and information, communicating efficiently, building learning communities and creating a culture of professionalism in schools” (Ginopolis, 2014). The technological world makes fantastic advances and that individuals and companies use to the advantage of students around the globe to improve their academic and computer skills that are implemented into classrooms and homes. These advances and programs allow educators to maintain student interest in their required subjects thereby increasing their productivity and communication capabilities. Aside from providing parents and students with class assignments and what is going on in the pupil’s classroom and school the teacher may provide an emergency contact list for their class that includes not only teacher and all school district personnel’s workplace contact information but also for the parents of that instructor’s class. In the digital and technological age the first obstacle a teacher needs to overcome is catching and maintain individual student’s interest in their academic subjects. The days of demonstrating a few math problems or graphing the structure of a sentence on the blackboard needed to be done away with and replaced with a more interactive platform from which the pupil...
