Reading and Lecture Analysis Journal

Value: 100 points

Due: See syllabus and/or iLearn

Objective:
Write 10 reading and lecture analysis journal entries that employ course materials from each unit.

These reading and lecture analysis journal entries provide you with an opportunity to do the following:

  • To enable you to understand your learning process;
  • To deepen the quality of learning, in the form of critical thinking or developing a questioning attitude;
  • To increase active involvement in learning and personal ownership of learning;
  • To enhance creativity by allowing you to write about what you found to be interesting or want to know more about;
  • To free-up writing and the representation of learning;
  • To provide you a chance to voice your ideas and to show that you are learning from course materials and resources;
  • To foster reflective and creative learning that promotes appreciation for human diversity, pluralism, multicultural, global perspectives, and lifelong learning.

Scope:
Each entry should be single-spaced and about one to two full pagees in length.
After you complete the assigned readings and viewed all other learning resources for a particular weeks lesson, you can select a topic or topics that most interested you, or that provoked a reaction, or that you have questions about and want to process. There is no right or wrong, as each entry will be measured and evaluated on its content, quality of analysis, and clarity of writing. 

Note re: citing lectures. If it is Prof. Lee’s lectures, citations should look like this (Lee, “title of lecture”, week #).

Assignment:
Write 10 reading and lecture analysis journal entries that employ course materials from each unit.

The entries must do the following:

  • Must be one to two full pages in length, single space;
  • All entries must be in one Word document, as you will submit this file on TurnItIn through iLearn;
  • You must discuss a topic or topics or question or questions that you have after completing the assigned readings and other learning resources available on iLearn;
  • You must directly engage with at least three learning resources (one of them must be an assigned reading; the other two can be other readings, videos, land/or lectures) in each entry! [Note: You can impress Prof. Lee by using more than the required three learning resources!] If your entry does not fulfill this requirement, it will result in an automatic 0/10. Please do make sure you engage with a required reading from the unit of the week.
  • Not meeting required resources above will result in –3 points deduction for each of the two remaining required resource. 
  • You must engage with assigned readings and other learning materials in the course by using proper citations and quotations using MLA, APA, Chicago, or Harvard styles for writing.
  • You must include a Works Cited that is properly formatted. Omitting a Works Cited will result in -3 points deduction. 
  • You can use outside resources if you investigated a topic further, but not in lieu of the three required resources from each unit.
  • Writing is important, so make sure you write early and edit. Clarity of writing is important and an important skill to develop. In order to do this successfully, it is recommended that you do not wait until the last minute.
  • Be thoughtful in each entry. Provide analysis and link/connect as many class resources as possible to each entry. This is your chance to show that you have read the assigned readings, watch the videos and lectures, and have thoughtfully and creatively reflected on the data, ideas, and arguments of all learning materials.
  • There is no right or wrong answers in this assignment. You will be evaluated on the quality of the content.
  • Please see the Rubric for Writing Assignments for more information on how writing is evaluated.
    • Tip: Be aware of only summarizing: this assignment calls for analysis, which means your ability to: apply things you learn in the class to the real world; your ability to synthesize theoretical concepts (unpacking the theory, testing the theory, questioning the theory); your ability to critique arguments, ideas, theories covered in class materials; your ability to offer your own unique insights into an issue; and your ability to put various voices into a dialogue.
      For example:A says “…” which confirms B’s notion of ….. but differs from C’s conclusion about….; My experience suggest name-a-concept is valid because….; Name-a-concept argues that… which A, B, and Z validated in their research. However, another school of thought contends….

 textbook – Information Governance: Concepts, Strategies, and Best Practices – Robert F. Smallwood. 

Q1.

 

Chapter 14 From the week’s chapter reading, we learn from the authors that, the use of mobile devices in our society today has indeed become ubiquitous.  In addition, CTIA asserted that over 326 million mobile devices were in use within The United States as of December 2012 an estimated growth of more than 100 percent penetration rate with users carrying more than one device with notable continues growth.  From this research, its evident that mobile computing has vastly accelerated in popularity over the last decade due to several factors noted by the authors in our chapter reading. 

Q1: In consideration with this revelation, identify and name these factors, and provide a brief discussion about them?

Q2.

 

Chapter 15 According to Crocker and Smallwood, cloud computing represents one of the most significant paradigms shifts in information technology (IT) history, due to an extension of sharing an application-hosting provider that has been around for many years, and was common in highly regulated vertical industries like banks and health care institutions.  The authors knowledge from their research continue to assert that, the impetus behind cloud computing lies on the idea that it provides economies of scale by spreading costs across many client organizations and pooling computing resources while matching client computing needs to consumption in a flexible, real-time version. 

Q2: Even with this great news about the benefits of the cloud computing applications, the authors have warned the business user community regarding the dangers associated with cloud computing applications.  Please identify and name these grave dangers/risks that pose as concerns, and briefly support your discussion.

I was listening to the TedTalk on Bringing the Context Back into Learning. It is correct when we were younger; there was that one person in class who would ask the question why. Remembering that one person who would ask why was me. One day I was in math class, and it was at the point where I was becoming agitated on learning math such as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and other forms of math. Raising my hand in the middle of class, I asked what the point of learning these forms of math is? I will NEVER use this in college and or my career.
At that point, my teacher states, how do you know? You have no idea what you want to be when you get older.
I feel I was one of the few examples in this world who actually knew at a young age what I wanted to do with my life. I told her I would never need math in my life except for knowing how to add, subtract, divide, and multiply, and that is all I need to know. Well, my teacher did not like that answer because most people do not know what they want out of life, let alone what they want to go to college for. I knew what I wanted out of life; I knew I would never take any courses in college on math, no matter the type of math, even if it is basic math. After this episode in school, my teacher did not appreciate being put on the spot. The next day she printed out this paper and gave it to me in front of the class. I have no idea what it was about; all I remember is the heading, which said, Why Do you Need to Learn Math Now For the Future. At that point I had to laugh because deep down she went out of her way to prove me wrong, and I knew it was pointless. 
This TedTalk is about the incident I went through when I was in high school. According to Devries (2012), fun is just another form of learning. It would help if you learned what learning is and why it is essential and fun. If this is not presented to you in a way for you to digest the information. It is going to be hard to learn and accept what is being taught. He makes a good point when saying, according to Devries (2012), not knowing why you are learning information is not motivating at all. Knowing why your learning the information and then applying what we are learning, in reality, is more captivating.       
Putting games together to focus on the job you are performing is a good tactic you need to use in order to help individuals want to do their job. According to Devries (2012), exploring the path of wanting to know if games pertaining to school would be beneficial for children. Using learnt through play has proven to be a successful learning experience. When educational computer games are adopted in supporting learning in the classroom, the pedagogical aspects such as learning style should be taken into account. According to Devries (2012), as different people learn and process information differently, it is important to understand individual learning style which allows the prediction of the way learners react and feel in different situations.
