MODERNISM

/in /by

our milestones for Module Six: Compose introduction to exhibition; choose and annotate two objects/works of art.

Please design a fictional museum exhibition—cast either in the form of a PowerPoint (or PDF) presentation or traditional essay response—that in your opinion (and based on readings, assignments, discussion, and other course materials), best exemplifies what is distinctly “modern” about modern art.

You are required to choose at least three works of art/objects for this assignment, which may be gleaned from lecture notes, museum websites, readings, or your textbook. You may select any painting, sculpture, building, or graphic or decorative object that you wish so long as it falls within the scope of the course.

After making your selections, please provide a detailed and thoughtful rationale for each choice in the form of a few short paragraphs. You may want to consider issues related to style, subject, form, context, symbolism, medium, and reception, among others (be sure to include your own opinion as well). It goes without saying that you should include a reproduction/image of each selection along with your finished project.

Don’t be afraid to really capitalize on the creative component of your project. You should blend your own opinion and hard evidence (in support of these opinions) on the topic of “modernity.” (This is where the mix of personal insight and scholarship comes in.) Above all else, though, have fun—be thorough and be critical, but don’t make this project out to be more difficult than it really is.

Foundations Of Educational Technology Week 1 Assignment

/in /by

Collect Images and Create Photo Album

This week you will begin work on a timeline illustrating historical uses of educational technology. You will finish this assignment in Week Two and actually create the timeline then, but for this week you need to find appropriate images and collect them into a photo album. Copy and paste the link to your photo album into a Word document and submit your assignment by Day 7.

 

a.    If you have not done so already, read the required articles listed under the “History of Educational Technology” section of the Week One Resourcesreview the documentiew in a new window document. You can also examine existing timelines on the Web (search for “educational technology timeline” in google). Decide what events you think are important in the history of educational technology. Choose at least eight events.

 

b.    For each event, you will need an approximate time frame when it was invented or primarily used in schools (e.g., 1930-1940), a title (e.g., “Invention of the Computer”), and a brief explanation of why you chose this event. You will write the explanations next week when you actually use the images to create the timeline. This week you will just be locating the images to include on your timeline, and labeling them with an appropriate title that indicates the name of the technology, as well as a time frame that indicates when the technology was invented or used in schools.

 

c.    Once you have chosen at least eight events you think are significant, search for images that illustrate these events. Google’s Copyright Free Image Search Engine.  https://cse.google.com/cse/home?cx=015775560953662364258:jbn052ab538 is a great place to look, as is this resource: 15 Sites for Finding Images and Clip Art for Education. http://www.techlearning.com/default.aspx?tabid=100&entryid=4135 When you find a picture or image you want to use, save it to your computer. You can do this by right clicking on the image and choosing Save As.

Note: Once you create your Flick  https://www.flickr.com/ account, you can upload pictures from your iPhone, other phone, or your computer directly to your Flickr site. You can also take pictures using your phone, send these to your email, and then save the images to your computer. You will also find you can link to existing pictures you have posted on the Web, such as on Facebook.

 

d.    When you have eight images collected and saved, it is time to collect them into an album.

 

e.    Navigate to Flickr.com (or if you prefer Shutterfly.com) and set up an account. Instructions and links to tutorials and help sites are listed below. You may find the site so easy to use that you can figure it out in a few minutes without any help.

 

f.     For each event you will need an approximate time frame (e.g., 1930-1940), and a title (e.g., “Invention of the Computer”). Include this information with each photo in your Flickr photo album by clicking on a picture to select it, and completing the title and description sections. Click Save.

 

g.    To find the link to your album, click on you to get to your home page. Click on the share symbol to the right.

 

h.    Click on “grab the link.” Copy the link to your album and paste it into a Word document.

 

i.     Upload your Word document using the Assignment Submission button in Week One. Good job!

Tort Law Liability

/in /by

“Tort Law Liability” (Intial Post)

  • The special education resource teacher is trying to quiet an agitated student in the library. The student is so out of control that he turns over his chair and throws a book from the shelf at the resource teacher. The resource teacher is struck in the head by the book. The regular education teacher attempts to restore calmness by slamming a large paperweight onto a table. The teacher has to remove the student from the library due to his uncontrollable behavior. The regular education teacher holds onto the student’s upper arm to guide him out of the library to a time-out area designated for this type of behavior. The student yells derogatory remarks at the teacher and tells her she will be sued. The next day, the parents of the student contacts the school administration and school resource officer with a report of child abuse.
    • Review the scenario above and decide if there is a possible tort law liability and who might be liable? Next, propose an alternate way to resolve the situation above to avoid possible tort law liability. Use one (1) case law to support your discussion response.
  • Classmate Post (Please Respond)
  • Hello Dr. M and Classmates I hope you all are doing well. I must say that as I was reading the scenario, I began to feel a sense of sympathy for the special education resource teacher because of what has been done to her by the student. A tort law liability is a legal term describing a violation where one person causes damage, injury, or harm to another person. The party that commits the tort is called the tortfeasor. A tortfeasor incurs tort liability, meaning that they will have to reimburse the victim for the harm that they caused them. I strongly feel that the Special education teacher is the victim and the student is the tort. I feel that the outrage student is the tortfeasor and school district should be held liable for any injuries that he may have caused the Special education teacher.

    According to the article Teacher abused by students wins a settlement against the Count Basie board of education. In the case of Kathy Perez was attacked by students in serval situations and the school administration team did nothing to help support her as their school teacher. I feel that this case can help stress the importance of teachers getting the support and accountably from the schools administration team as well as students taking ownership of their actions. The alternate proposal for this scenario would be for the teachers to have explained to him that we are going to the library and we have to be very quiet while we are in the here, because some students may be working or studying and taking assessments. Once the special education seen that he was began to act out of control then she should have asked him to claim down or he will be removed from the library. Then the teachers should have called the resource officers and the principle to make it known to them of what is going on and that the student needed to be removed from the classroom. The teachers should gather the rest of the students and take them to a safe environment until the principle get to the library.

Revolution and Depression Set the Stage for Another War

ssignment: Revolution and Depression Set the Stage for Another War

The two decades between the World Wars were ones of economic, social, and political upheaval and turmoil all over the world. Anticolonialist movements were sweeping through many regions that had long been far flung parts of European empires. New ideas in science, technology, and popular culture were calling into question much about traditional society. A worldwide Great Depression seemed to threaten the economic viability of some of the world’s most prosperous and powerful nations.

Although different regions of the world were impacted differently by the end of World War I and the changes taking place in its aftermath, all regions were affected. This week, we read about how the Americas, East Asia, India and Southeast Asia, and the Middle East and Africa fared during the 1920s and 1930s. For this week’s Assignment, you will look at one of these four areas and analyze how the interwar decades influenced its stability.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review Chapter 12 (pp. 173–189), Chapter 13 (pp. 190–203), Chapter 14 (pp. 204–212), and Chapter 15 (pp. 213–227) in this week’s Learning Resources to understand how each of the four regions was impacted by the interwar period.
  • Choose one of the four regions (the Americas, East Asia, India and Southeast Asia, and the Middle East and Africa) to analyze in depth.
  • Consider how political factors like revolution and the rise of radical political ideologies, anticolonial/independence movements, and global social and economic upheaval affected your region
  • Reflect on how these factors might have influenced how your region looked in 1939, when another World War began.

The assignment:

  • Compose a 2-page essay in which you do the following:
    • Choose one of the four regions covered in this week’s Course Resources (the Americas, East Asia, India and Southeast Asia, and the Middle East and Africa) to profile.
    • Of the elements that impacted the world during the interwar years (revolution and the rise of radical political ideologies, anticolonial/independence movements, and global social and economic upheaval) which were the most important factors in shaping your region during the 1920s and 1930s and why?
    • How did your region relate to the different powers that would once again go to war in 1939?
    • Support your assertions by making multiple references to your course readings.
