TCH-520 Brain Based Learning

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

Understanding the functions of the brain is of great value to all professionals involved in teaching, learning, and curriculum and instructional design. Professionals will be more effective in their efforts if they understand the development and processes of the brain, and how to apply this information to their work. By understanding and effectively applying brain research, professionals will see growth in the learning of those they work to instruct or support.

Choose one of the following deliverables to outline the importance of critical thinking and problem-solving in brain-based learning in your field:

Newsletter (using a digital tool like a newsletter template in Microsoft Word, Google Documents, or Microsoft Publisher)

10-12 slide digital presentation, including presenter’s notes with documentation of resources and a title slide.

  • Webpage (using a tool like Wix, Google Sites, or Weebly)
  • Select a specific audience related to your field of study (early childhood or elementary parents, junior high or high school students and parents, college students, or other adult learners in a professional setting). Your digital resource should be based on critical thinking and problem-solving, including the thinking levels presented in Bloom’s Taxonomy as applied to your audience.
  • In the digital resource include the following:

What critical thinking and problem-solving are and how they relate to brain-based learning and your respective professional field.

The role of metacognition in critical thinking and problem-solving.

The role of experiential and problem/project-based learning in critical thinking and problem-solving.

  • Levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy and how your audience can apply these levels to their learning, teaching, or training.
  • Five audience-appropriate resources and strategies to improve critical thinking, problem-solving, and brain function.

QUESTION

While psychological disorders still have a stigma, steps have been taken by some individuals to help others understand the disorders a little better. For example, photographer John William Keedy captured images to express anxiety disorders, OCD, and varied neuroses in “Photos Reveal What It’s Like to Have Anxiety Issues.” Review “What It’s Like to Have Schizophrenia,” which attempts to show viewers what it’s like to have schizophrenia. (Warning: the video is graphic and may be disturbing.)

Then there is a personal story from Healthline called “In Their Shoes: Understanding What Bipolar Disorder Feels Like” and another from Mills Baker called “What Does It Feel Like to Have Bipolar Disorder?” Both stories are told from the point of view of someone with bipolar disorder and try to capture what it’s like living with the illness.

After reviewing the readings and videos and further researching the topic, post a two-paragraph response to the following: 

How do our history and culture affect our understanding of psychological disorders? What, if anything, can be done to reduce the stigma attached to psychological disorders? Do the photographs, videos, and stories mentioned above help people to better understand the disorders, or do they serve to further stigmatize the disorders? Explain.

Studies have shown that having a low socioeconomic status (SES) increases the risk factor for developing a mental illness. Why might this be the case? Think about some of the symptoms of psychological disorders. What connections do you see between the symptoms and low SES?

Week 3: Response to “Investigating Writing”

/0 Comments/in /by

Question

Read “Investigating Writing: Threshold Concepts and Transfer” (PDF available in Readings & Videos). 

After reading the chapter, take notes on the following prompts:

? Writing is . . . 

? Good writing is . . . 

? Good writers do or are . . . 

? Writers are influenced by . . .

? Learning to write involves . . . 

Then, do a mini “interview” with another person (not one in the class, please), asking them to respond to these prompts. (That person should NOT have read the chapter.) 

In your response, do the following for this assignment: 

First, compare your new responses to those you wrote to these same prompts in the Week 1: Writing Is … Response. *** Since I forgot to ask you to save your responses, I copy-pasted each of yours in Teams > Class Notebook > || > [Your Name] > Notes > Week 1 Writing Is… Original Responses. 

Comparing your first responses with the new versions you took notes on after the reading, think about what has changed or remained the same about your concept of writing. Explain. You may find it helpful to use examples from your original response during your discussion. In your response, include at least two cited sentences or passages from the assigned reading that contributed to changes in your response to the prompts. 

Next, discuss two or more of the responses from your mini interview: in what ways do they differ from yours, and did you gain any additional perspectives on writing?

QUESTION

For your week 8 final presentation, you are required (as we covered in class) to create a network topology to support the case study for Acme University handout that you received. You create the network topology (for instance, if you want to add a star topology, or ring topology, or mixture, it’s up to you). I advise keeping it sort of simple though, only a few devices for departments are needed for a university. For instance, a router, firewall, switch, and hub with couple of desktops and printer connected to it for the academic advisors group, but a different hub from the switch pointing to another couple desktops, video monitors/TVs, smart devices and printer might be for the classrooms, etc. Don’t over complicate it (yes, a major large university could have a VERY extensive network, but you don’t need to make it that big for this assignment – maybe three or four departments should suffice, but if you want to add more, feel free). Remember to make it a technical diagram, which means, for each device include:

Cost $ (of the asset)

ID

Hostname

IP address

subnet mask

gateway

Does it handle TCP/IP, UDP, or both?

You can draw your topology on a paper with pen and take a picture of it, or in word, or visio, or other editor, or network simulator, it’s really up to you. If you want to see examples, go to images.google.com and type in “network diagram examples”. Though remember, in our classroom diagram I’m asking for additional details per device than you’ll see in your Google examples.
