Lesson one focuses more on the theory about trees and leaves. A PowerPoint is used as an aid in the lecture, and Kahoot is used to test the students knowledge about the presented content. Lesson two focuses on taking the content learned in lesson one and applying it through a scavenger hunt game. Students are given a list of trees and leaves to hunt. They must work together with their group to find as many as they can. As they search, the must take a photo of their findings and upload it to Padlet. These photos will be used later in an upcoming video project and used to document points. Each item on the list is worth a certain amount of points; points will be tracked through Padlet. Whatever team has the most points wins. Lesson One - Growing Your Knowledge Description: This lesson presents information about the differences between coniferous and deciduous trees, the various leaf types as well as the different leaf shapes through a lecture and PowerPoint presentation. This lesson will prepare students for the scavenger hunt game in lesson two. Audience: Upper elementary and middle school teachers Objectives: Recall life cycle of tree/plant Identify different types of trees and leaves Define difference between coniferous and deciduous trees - Recall and understand why trees are necessary to our lives Media: - Phone or Laptop to access Kahoot - PowerPoint Activities: The class will start off with an icebreaker challenge. Students will find a partner and come up with as many reasons as they can as to why trees are necessary for us to live. They will have two minutes. The answers they come up with can be used to compare with the answers from the video they will watch later in the class. A guided class discussion about the differences in leaf shapes will be led getting the students to think critically and perceptively. After the material has been presented students will engage in a Kahoot game to test their knowledge. A summary of the content presented in the lesson will be gone over. Lastly, students will be reminded of the assigned homework and of the upcoming scavenger hunt. Assessment: Through game of Kahoot and guided class discussion. Follow Up: Gamification Part 2 will be the scavenger hunt. Lesson Two - Scavenger Hunt Description: The second portion of this lesson will include an interactive and collaborative scavenger hunt in the ravine. Students are put into groups with five students each and a parent/ teacher supervisor. Students are given a list of trees and leaves they have to find in the rand they must take a picture of their findings and upload it to Padlet. The goal is to acquire photos that will be used in their video project after the field trip. A point system is also in place. Different kinds of trees and leaves are awarded a point value and the star feature on Padlet will allow teachers to award points easily for each post that comes up. Whatever team acquires the most points wins. Audience: Upper elementary and middle school teachers Objectives: - Apply what we learned in class to help you find the trees and leaves on the list - Recall the differences between coniferous and deciduous trees as well as the different leaf types and shapes - Collect and upload your findings to Padlet Media: - Phone to take photos - Access to Padlet to upload photos - Computer to make a post scavenger hunt video of your photos Activities: Students will meet first in the classroom to go over safety, rules and expectations for the lesson. We would walk to the ravine and once there students would organize themselves into groups of five. Parent/ teacher supervisors will be designated for each group. Students then have 45 minutes to find what they can on the scavenger hunt list. They will take photos of their findings and upload them to Padlet under their designated group section. After the 45 minutes, groups will reconvene at a designated meeting spot set by the instructor prior to the start of the scavenger hunt. After all groups have gathered, students and supervisors will walk back to the classroom for a debriefing. Assessment: Students photos uploaded to Padlet and video project to document their understanding and participation. Follow Up: Quick debrief back at the classroom once we have returned from the scavenger hunt. Review of the expectations for the video project.	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:10.934265	Activity/Lab	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/78645/overview", "title": "Gamification - Lesson One and Two", "author": "Environmental Science" }

Box 173364 Denver Performance management systems a way of evaluating the performance of the employees in the public and for-profit sectors but have not been adequately explored in the non profit sector to surface possible sector-specific challenges. This study addresses this gap in the non profit knowledge base by comparing different components of a performance management system from the perspective of management and frontline employees. It identifies the gaps in the perceptions of management and staff related to performance management and identifies five different models of performance management systems, concluding with lessons for practice. To demonstrate their effectiveness, non profit organizations, like public and private sector organizations, are facing increasing pressure to demonstrate their performance and their plans for future improvement. An important part of this process of measuring and fostering effectiveness in managing the performance of organizational members; typically this is accomplished with performance management processes wherein multiple methods of evaluation biannually and annually are done , The non profit organizations’ goals is directly dependent upon the ability of the staff to perform effectively in the management and delivery of services. 3 \| Methodology – Quantitative It can be seen that quantitative process is used and the process is explained below, - Comparing the organization’s use of the performance management tools with the staff’s perception of the evaluation tools . - Correlation of the quality of the performance management and the outcomes in terms of monetary means with the two factors such as performance management index and performance based compensation - Utilising the different stages of the performance evaluation before and after giving the feed back during annual performance appraisal from the Employees perspective - Comparing Performance evaluation feedback from both employer and the employees(Front line staff) The data used in this article are drawn from the research study, Investigating Partner- ships in Early Childhood Education (I-PIECE), which utilizes a structured, comparative case study design and multiple data collection methods. The study includes 22 human service organizations that primarily provide early care and education services in New York State and the Commonwealth of Virginia, with 11 sites included from each state. The data collection techniques employed included instruments to collect qualitative and quantitative data: semi-structured, in-depth interviews, surveys, structured obser- vations, structured assessments of clients, and document analysis. In constructing the survey, interview, and document analysis protocols designed to collect the data on the multiple dimensions of the organizations, employees, and clients being investigated, we first conducted preliminary ethnographic observations in three pretest organiza- tions in order to gain an understanding of how these organizations operate, the management structures prevalent in these organizations, and the particular character- istics of the programs that they operate and the clients that they serve. In the final study, we received a 100 percent response rate on our organizational survey (n=22) and frontline staff survey (n=49). In addition, supporting material is drawn from the semi-structured interviews conducted with the staff concerning the management practices of the organization. 4 \| References - Armstrong, M., & Baron, A.

Smith2 1Freeman School of Business, Tulane University2 Freeman School of Business, Tulane University This work focuses on studying on the factors in the long history in management and industrial/organizational psychology of studying methods to improve performance at work. These efforts have traditionally been based on the individual-level performance (with some attention paid to team performance as well); even when research began to more broadly consider the topic of performance management instead of just performance appraisal. However, the often if an organization could effectively improve the performance of individual employees, this would accrue to improvements in firm-level performance as well. A review of the literature suggested that this link had never really been established in a direct way. Instead, we found considerable support for relating “bundles” of human resource (HR) practices to firm-level performance, and several models for how these practices could create the transformation from individual-level to firm-level performance. We drew upon several of these models, from somewhat diverse literatures, to propose a model whereby bundles of HR practices, when aligned with the strategic goals of the organization, can be used to create a climate for performance that could transform generic knowledges, skills, and abilities (KSAs) into specific KSAs for firm level performance of the employee in terms of evaluation available annually 7 \| Methodology – Quantitative It can be seen that quantitative process is used the journal and the process is explained below, 1.By comparing the individual performance management of the Employees right from the first appraisal by minimising and avoiding the errors 2.By considering the HR practices and the firm’s performance and evaluating the same in terms of monetary means and growth 3.Aligning the performance with the company’s strategic goals 4.Defining the firm’s performance in terms of financial and non-financial terms Using the HR policy and performance appraisal methods to compare with the standards of individual and team. 8 \| References - Aguinis, H.

The curriculum standards used are those of the Curriculum Assessments Policy Standards which is a the Curriculum document used in South Africa. Introduction to Physical Sciences (Grade 12) INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL SCIENCES WHAT IS PHYSICAL SCIENCES? Physical Sciences investigate physical and chemical phenomena. This is done through scientific inquiry, application of scientific models, theories and laws in order to explain and predict events in the physical environment. This subject also deals with society’s need to understand how the physical environment works in order to benefit from it and responsibly care for it. All scientific and technological knowledge, including Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS), is used to address challenges facing society. Indigenous knowledge is knowledge that communities have held, used or are still using; this knowledge has been passed on through generations and has been a source of many innovations and developments including scientific developments. Some concepts found in Indigenous Knowledge Systems lend themselves to explanation using the scientific method while other concepts do not; this is still knowledge however. NOTE: Reference is made using the caps document ( the South African curriculum Document) TABLE OF CONTENTS Acids and Bases LESSON OBJECTIVES: - Properties of acids and bases - Arrhenius Theory of acids and bases - Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases - Conjugate acids-base pairs - Reactions of acids and bases - The Ph scale - Calculating ph of strong bases Properties of acids - Sour to taste - Change litmus paper from blue to red - Conduct electricity in aqueous solutions - Decrease ph of the solution. Examples Citric acid(lemons) Vinegar Lactic acid( milk) Properties of bases - Bitter to taste - Change red litmus pare to blue - Feels soapy or slippery - Conducts electricity in aqueous solutions - Increase the ph of a solution. Examples Limestone Arrhenius acids and bases Arrhenius acid A substance which produces H+/H3O+ ons in an aqueous solution. e.g • HCℓ → H+ + Cℓ- • HCℓ + H2O → H3O+ + Cℓ- Arrhenius base A substance which produces OH- ons in an aqueous solution. e.g • NaOH → Na++ + OH-− Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases Bronsted-lowry Acid A substance which donates a proton. • HCℓ + H2O → H3O+ + Cℓ− • NH4++ H2O → H3O+ + NH3 Bronsted-lowry Base A substance which accepts a proton. • OH- + H+ → H2O • NH3 + H2O → OH- + NH4 Conjugate acids When an acid donates a proton (H+), a conjugate base is produced. • The acid and its conjugate base are called a conjugate acid-base pair. Examples: HCℓ ⇌ H+ + Cℓ- Acid conjugate base H2SO4 ⇌ H+ + HSO4- acid conjugate base Conjugate base Vertical projectile motion LESSON OBJECTIVES •Introduction to vertical projectile motion •Factors affecting vertical projectile motion. •Velocity •Acceleration vs displacement. •Explanation when the object is dropped from rest •Explanation when the object is thrown vertically upward What is a projectile motion? In simpler way when an object is projected either upward or downward, the only force acting on is gravity. Factors affecting free falling objects Objects that are projected either upward or downward do not encounter air resistance. This means that the air resistance is negligible. All objects that are under a free fall on Earth accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8m/s2. Velocity - The magnitude and direction of velocity changes. - When it is moving upward - The magnitude decreases and its direction is upward. - When it is moving down - The magnitude increases and the direction is downward. - At the top just as the object turns to go down the velocity becomes zero. Equations of motion Electric circuits LESSON OBJECTIVES: Ohms law Revision of series circuits Revision of parallel circuits Internal resistance Past examination papers Ohms law Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. Series circuits The defining characteristic of a series circuit is that there is only one path for current to flow. Characteristics of series circuits - Current: The amount of current is the same through any component in a series circuit. - Resistance: The total resistance of any series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances. - Voltage: The supply voltage in a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drop. Parallel circuits The basic idea of a “parallel” connection, on the other hand, is that all components are connected across each other’s leads. Characteristics of the parallel circuits - Voltage: Voltage is equal across all components in a parallel circuit. - Current: The total circuit current is equal to the sum of the individual branch currents. - Resistance: Individual resistances diminish to equal a smaller total resistance rather than add to make the total. Examples Electrochemical cells LESSON OBJECTIVES Introduction to electrochemistry Vocabulary Redox reaction: reduction and oxidation Electrochemical cell: electrolytic cell and galvanic/voltaic cell. What is electrochemistry? It refers to chemical reactions during which chemical energy is converted to electric energy, or electric energy is converted to chemical energy. There are two types of electrochemical cells: Electrolytic cell: a cell in which electrical energy is converted into chemical energy. Galvanic (voltaic) cell: a cell in which chemical energy is converted into electrical energy. Characteristics of an Electrolytic cell Uses electricity to create chemical reactions Does not have a salt bridge. Non-spontaneous redox reactions. Endothermic reactions. Emf is always negative. Characteristics of a Galvanic cell It uses chemical reactions to create electricity. Spontaneous reaction. Has a salt bridge. Exothermic reaction. Emf is always positive.	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:11.087925	Lecture Notes	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/80457/overview", "title": "Physical Sciences", "author": "Homework/Assignment" }
https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/89926/overview	Education Standards Timeline of CS What is HTML/CSS What is Programming Introducing Computer Science 6th Grade Overview This is an introductory lesson introducing what computer science is and what some of the topics are that we will cover in their Intro to CS and Web Design Course. Computer Science Interests Once students are in groups I will divide them into two groups based on their hobby or pass time. One group for computer science-related and the other for non-computer science-related. After everyone is either in a computer science or non-computer science group, as the students why I grouped them this way. I’m expecting them to make a connection to one half being technology-related and the other half non. I will ask probing questions to help them form the connection that these were developed or used using computer science in some way and the others were not. I am expecting students to be shocked by the percentage of students that are around one group because of computer science. Students- Stand up! Find one or two people in the room that share a similar hobby or favorite pass time as you. Some examples might be video games, reading, instruments that you play, YouTube channels you watch/follow, sports that you play, etc. Once you are in a group, quietly converse with one another by answering the following questions one at a time: 1. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? 2. Would you rather eat pizza or tacos? 3. Would you rather read a book or run a mile? 4. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? Once everyone is grouped, listen to the teacher as he/she will then start combining groups to make larger groups. Pay attention to which small groups are joined together. The teacher will open the floor for suggestions about why he/she grouped them this way. CS Video #1 Students will view this video and then answer the following questions: Ask students: “What surprised you about this video?” “What might be a definition of computer science?” Be ready to answer the following quesitons after viewing this video: What surprised you about this video? What might be a definition of computer science? CS Video #2 Students will view this video and then answer the following questions: Ask students: “What surprised you about this video?” “What might be a definition of computer science?” Be ready to answer the following quesitons after viewing this video: What surprised you about this video? What might be a definition of computer science? Gallery Walk These are the articles I found for the current environment I will be teaching in. Feel free to adjust topics and articles based on your course priorities or as information becomes more updated. When I say “move”, get into groups of 3 and pick one of the posters on the walls to move to. You will have 5 minutes to read the poster and summarize the key points. When the timer goes off, be ready to share your key points with the class. How many people should be in each group? What are you going to share with the class? Go ahead and say move. On each wall in the classroom, I will have a short article posted explaining each of these 4 key topics. -History of CS -Problem Solving Process in Computers -HTLM/CSS -Programming Once back in there seats, ask the following questions: What are examples of frequently used tools or items that have been developed with computer science? What do you think will happen to the future of computer science jobs and techniques? I will explain that these are all computer science topics that we will explore in this course. After the final rotation, ask students to go back to the seat. Exit Ticket Activity: To evaluate how well the students are understanding the topic (most specifically that Computer Science is not just coding/programming), I will pay attention to their key point observations from the gallery walk as well as their responses to the questions following the gallery walk. As an exit ticket, I will ask students to come up with a brief definition of computer science and write it on a sticky note before they leave class. This will give me a more formal way to check what they took from the lesson. Exit Ticket: On a large sticky note (located on the counter in the back of the classroom), come up with a brief definition of computer science and write it (along with your student number) on a sticky note. Place your sticky note in the "Exit Ticket" folder before you leave class. This will give me a more formal way to check what you took away from this lesson.	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:11.120428	Abi Ludwig	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/89926/overview", "title": "Introducing Computer Science 6th Grade", "author": "Jody Kelley" }

Ice-Breaker_game_Fairy tales The little red riding hood Vocabulary activity Fairy Tales and Other Stories (Interactive Lesson Plan) Overview Why work with faity tales when teaching English to children? ( Elementary Education) Children learn vocabulary in English, but also internalize grammar and, above all, how sentences are formulated correctly. Through the English stories we read or hear, we can practice intonation, but also fluency in the language. And, like any other story (regardless of the language in which it is written), we encourage the habit of reading and creativity of the little ones. Through this ILP the teacher seeks to stimulate and improve the listening, writting and reading comprehension skills of children. UNESCO ICT Competency Framework: Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Deepening and Knowledge creation. - Understanding ICT in Education: Policy understanding / Policy application / Policy innovation. - Curriculum and Assesment: Basic Knowledge / Knowledge application / Knowledge Society Skills. - Pedagogy: ICT- enhanced teaching / Complex Problem-solving / Self Management. - Application Digital skills: Application / Infusion / Transformation. - Organization and Administration: Standard classroom / Collaborative Groups / Learning Organizations. - Teacher Professional Learning: Digital Literacy / Networking / Teacher as Innovator.

Overview This lesson allows students to delve into the life of a current or historical member of Congress. Biography can be a powerful too that can impact a person. The Members of Congress categories include: youngest, women, African-Americans, Latino-Americans, Asian/Pacific Islander Americans, former athletes, former entertainers and Independents/third party. Students should conduct research and then either write a report, give a presentation (or do both) as an assessment. The lesson provides names for each category, a sample rubric and recommended website resources for research. Background Above Photo: Members of the 117th Congress (2021). This was the most diverse freshmen class in congressional history. You could compare it with this photo from the new House members in 2010 and/or with this photo of a group of members from the 1920s. Upon comparing the photos, what has changed in 8 years? And in less than a 100 years? This lesson is meant to inspire students to think about their future and know that American citizens are eligible to run for and serve in Congress.* Many students may believe that only rich or well connected people can run for office. This lesson will look at the biographies of some members of Congress who are just ordinary American citizens who got elected to serve. Part of civics education should be about encouraging youth to get involved in politics and interested in potentially running for office when they become eligible.* We should strive to elect members of Congress who are knowledgeable about The Constitution and want to serve to help make our country better and sustainable for future generations. Students interested in an internship can apply to be a Senate Page while still in high school. According to Article I, Section II, Clause 2: No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen. According to Article I, Section III, Clause 3: No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen. Activities Have students research and report on the life and work of a current member of Congress or one from history. Depending on grade-level and types of learners, you could have students write a paper, give a presentation or create a short film about their assigned or selected member. Here are some possibilities.

Sample Rubric: - Presentation was clear and concise, with few or no typos. - Presentation was interesting and informative. - Presentation lasted 5-10 minutes. - Provided information about the member of Congress' life, education, work experience, election(s) and any legislation they wrote or were part of while serving in Congress. - Bibliography/Works Cited at the end was properly formatted (MLA or other style) with a minimum of 2-3 sources consulted and used. - EXTRA CREDIT OR DIFFERENTIATION: Created a video or digital documentary that was creative and included images of the person and time period in which they live(d). You could also include having to submit notes from research (hand written or typed). If you want stuents to write a report in addition to or instead of the presentation, consider what you expect them to include and how long it should be. Some of the members of Congress listed did not serve for long and it may be challenging to get more than 2-3 pages written about them. Resources The following are great resources that students should use for their research.

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/65909/overview	collagen triple helix Overview The cellular microenvironment, characterized by an extracellular matrix (ECM), played an essential role in the transition from unicellularity to multicellularity in animals (metazoans), and in the subsequent evolution of diverse animal tissues and organs. collagen COLLAGEN The extracellular matrix (ECM) played an essential role during the transition from unicellular organisms to multicellular animals (metazoans). The ECM comprises a basement membrane (BM) that underlies epithelia cells, and an interstitial matrix (IM) that is positioned between cells in the intercellular spaces and undergoes continuous controlled remodeling (Hynes, 2012; Bonnans et al., 2014; Nelson and Bissell, 2006; Inman et al., 2015). Yet, a major gap in cell biology is to understand how cells generate and interact with the ECM (Sherwood, 2015; Jayadev and Sherwood, 2017). The collagen superfamily of proteins is a major component of ECMs, which – in vertebrates – comprises 28 types (I–XXVIII) that are derived from a total of 46 α-chains across the superfamily (Fig. 1) (Ricard-Blum, 2011; Kadler et al., 2007; Ricard-Blum and Ruggiero, 2005). Invertebrates generally contain collagen IV, XV or XVIII, some fibrillar collagens, as well as some fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helices (FACITs) (Fidler et al., 2014, 2017; Fahey and Degnan, 2010; Meyer and Moussian, 2009; Boot-Handford and Tuckwell, 2003; Whittaker et al., 2006; Kadler et al., 2007). Among these collagens, type IV is the evolutionarily most ancient, based on recent studies of non-bilaterian animals (sponges, ctenophores, placozoans and cnidarians) and unicellular groups (Fidler et al., 2017; Grau-Bove et al., 2017) Collagens are the most abundant protein in the human body (Kadler et al., 2007; Shoulders and Raines, 2009). They occur as diverse supramolecular assemblies, ranging from networks to fibrils, and broadly function in structural, mechanical and organizational roles that define tissue architecture and influence cellular behavior (Shoulders and Raines, 2009; Ricard-Blum, 2011; Ricard-Blum and Ruggiero, 2005). Defects in collagens underlie the cause of almost 40 human genetic diseases, affecting numerous organs and tissues in millions of people worldwide.	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:11.383511	Student Guide	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/65909/overview", "title": "collagen triple helix", "author": "Lecture Notes" }

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/102565/overview	QUANTUM MECHANICS Overview In this brief introduction about quantum mechanics, I have mentioned some of the astonishing facts about the versatile theory till date. QUANTUM MECHANICS Introduction: Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the behaviour of particles on the atomic and subatomic level. The principles of quantum mechanics were first proposed in the early 20th century and have since become one of the most important and widely used theories in modern physics. In this document, we will discuss the key principles of quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, the Schrödinger equation, and quantum entanglement. Wave-Particle Duality: One of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics is wave-particle duality, which states that particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behaviour. This means that particles, such as electrons and photons, can behave like waves and exhibit interference patterns, as well as behave like particles and exhibit discrete energy levels. The wave-like behaviour of particles is described by their wave function, which represents the probability of finding the particle in a particular location at a particular time. Uncertainty Principle: Another key principle of quantum mechanics is the uncertainty principle, which states that the more precisely the position of a particle is known, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa. This principle is a consequence of the wave-particle duality, and it places a fundamental limit on the precision with which we can measure the properties of particles on the atomic and subatomic level. Schrödinger Equation: The Schrödinger equation is the fundamental equation of quantum mechanics, which describes the behaviour of particles on the atomic and subatomic level. The equation is a partial differential equation that describes the time evolution of the wave function of a particle. The Schrödinger equation is used to calculate the probability of finding a particle in a particular location at a particular time, and it can be used to calculate the energy levels of atoms and molecules. Quantum tunnelling: Quantum mechanics differs from classical physics in this aspect where it proves that in order to cross a potential barrier which is of greater energy than the particle energy, particle need not jump instead tunnel through the barrier. Quantum Entanglement: Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two particles can become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other particle, even if they are separated by a large distance. This phenomenon is a consequence of the wave-like behaviour of particles and has been demonstrated experimentally in many different systems. Quantum entanglement is the basis of many quantum technologies, including quantum cryptography and quantum computing. Applications of Quantum Mechanics: Quantum mechanics has many important applications in modern physics and technology. Some of the most important applications of quantum mechanics include: Atomic and Molecular Physics: Quantum mechanics is used to study the behaviour of atoms and molecules on the atomic and subatomic level. It is used to calculate the energy levels of atoms and molecules, and to predict the behaviour of chemical reactions. Quantum Computing: Quantum mechanics is the basis of quantum computing, which is a new type of computing that uses quantum systems to perform calculations. Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize many fields, including cryptography, materials science, and drug design. Quantum Cryptography: Quantum mechanics is used in quantum cryptography, which is a new type of cryptography that is based on the principles of quantum mechanics. Quantum cryptography provides a new level of security for data communication, and it is currently being developed for use in financial transactions and other applications. Quantum Teleportation: Quantum mechanics is used in quantum teleportation, which is a process where the state of one particle can be transferred to another particle, even if they are separated by a large distance. Quantum teleportation has the potential to revolutionize communication and computing, and it is currently being developed for use in secure communication networks.	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:11.419305	04/03/2023	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/102565/overview", "title": "QUANTUM MECHANICS", "author": "BHARATH B" }

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/103612/overview	Jumproping video Introductory Jumproping Overview This is an introductory jumproping lesson for grades K-2. It includes a breakdown of what jumproping is, an individual practice, as well as a group game. This lesson focuses on the benefits of jumproping and why it is a good exercise. Opening - It is helpful to use a jumprope that has different colors to show the different parts of the jumprope. For example, a yellow handle, and red rope. This makes it easier for the students to differentate the two. 1. Watch the introductory video. 2. Introduce the jumprope by labeling the different parts of it (handle and rope) as well as their purposes. 3. Give a quick overview of the process of jumproping. Individual Practice - Some students may feel frustrated because they are not getting it as fast as others. Make sure you are walking around helping those who seem to need more help. 1. After all students have gotten their jumprope, allow them to practice for about 5 minutes. 2. If students are doing well, encourage them to try different jumps (1 foot, switching). Group Game 1) Put the students into groups of 3-4 students per group. 2) Introduce game rules: - 1 at a time, students will try to make 3 jumps in a row without failing. If they complete the task, they get 1 point. - If they do not make the 3 jumps in a row, their turn is over and it is the next student's turn. - Whoever has the most points at the end of the time wins. 3) Set a timer for 3 minutes. 4) Begin the game and after they finish, repeat 2-3 more times. Closing Here you are really focusing why jumproping is good for a person's health. Not only is it fun, but there are many benefits. Ask students to think about and come up with some reasons of their own! 1. Have students put away jumpropes in the bin. 2. Call students back and ask the following questions: - What was the most difficult part of jumproping? - Do you enjoy jumproping? - What do you think are the benefits of jumproping? 3. Talk about the benefits of jumproping and why it is a fun exercise.

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/91527/overview	Lesson Plan 2 Lesson Plan: The Support and Mentorship of Students Overview Creators: Hanan Hajar, Yasmeen Shibley Image credit: Photo by cottonbro from Pexels This lesson focuses on supporting and mentoring students in grades 10-12 specifically, using aspects of gamification to structure the content presented. Lesson 1: Supporting Students This lesson plan focuses on supporting students from grade 10 to grade 12, working to build better connections between students, staff, and the overall school community for students to feel comfortable relying on those around them (specifically in an educational setting). Utilizing the concept of gamification, this plan presents the content to students and teachers in multiple mediums of PowerPoint slides, videos, and group/individual work. Furthermore, it gains the attention of students and works to have students think back to prior issues addressed when presented with a questionnaire to get their (anonymous) feedback on not only the lesson and content, but the concept as a whole; getting their perspectives as the people who are being addressed in the lesson plan. Targeting the overall school yet abiding by the Alberta Program of Studies website, this lesson plan works to put the students first so they can focus on their education and selfbetterment. Lesson 2: Mentoring Students The second lesson builds off of the first section on supporting students and utilizes the Alberta Program of Studies guide in looking at ways to mentor students and cultivate mentoring relationships in the student community; specific to grades 10-12. Focusing on helping students feel better connected with the community and those in it, the gamification tools use a mixed media of slide shows, videos, live guest speakers, and take home journal activities, as well as the potential to have students and even teachers participate in an actual mentoring ship program with those in the school community. The lesson also provides a website for those interested in taking mentoring programs to the next level.	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:11.577076	Homework/Assignment	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/91527/overview", "title": "Lesson Plan: The Support and Mentorship of Students", "author": "Activity/Lab" }

This lesson plan is designed to help 11th-grade students prepare for using English skills in specific contexts. It can be delivered face to face or online. Students will discuss to what extent they are affected by climate chage and what measures they themselves are taking. Despite of including a grammar lesson, the class will be focused on English skill integration in order to achive an awareness about the envorimental change and promote students' creative thinking. Time required: 120 minutes Materials required: prepared presentation / (Genially Slides), Youtube videos, Online games, flashcards. Aims: To generate discussion on the topic. To introduce gerunds and infinitive verbs in the oral and written production. National and International Standars English National Standard: To show a respectful and tolerant attitude when they listen to others. To participate in conversations on topics of their interest using clear and simple language. To identify key words within the text that allow understanding its general meaning. ICT Common European framework: Teachers achieve learning objectives by: - Managing learning environments that permit the use of different ICT tools and teaching methods. - Understanding students’ different levels of ICT competencies and implementing strategies to manage differences as students progress - Creating learning situations such that students manage their own learning (p. 34) Opening Give students enough time to watch the videos. As these are short videos, the opinions don't need to be more than 3 minutes. The purpose of the game is to see how much students understand the topic presented, to see how much information they were able to retain about the videos. Ask the students if they were able to understand all the words in the vocabulary flashcards. Watch the two following videos (climate change; What is the greenhouse effect?): After watching the videos, Give your opinion about the topics that were explained in the videos. Play the game (Who wants to be a millionaire) Then, check the vocabulary flashcards to have a better understanding of the topic. Grammar Lesson Once you have guided the warminig-up... let students be ready for the grammar lesson and try not to loose their atention and interest. Genially Presentation The lesson begins with the infinitive verbs composition. Take advantage of the audios provided in the slides and ask the students to repeat the sentences. You can also ask them to write each of them, so they can internalized the sentence structure and improve their listening competence. Afterwards, teach the gerund verbs composition. It is quite useful to provide students with different examples and extra-activities. Finally, present the video "How to use gerunds and infinitives Then, conclude by asking students for comments or doubts. If there is a missconception about the topic, give a clearer explanation and continue to practice. Working time - The preparation for the listening activity should be guided by the teacher. - The audio should be reproduced twice. The first time should be to start filling in the blanks and the second time to give students the opportunity to check their answers. - Students should listen to the audio carefully and take notes to successfully develop the last activity. Listening Activity Prepare the student before playing the audio "The causes and Effects of Climate Change". Ask them to click on this link https://www.educaplay.com/user/3395839-laura_michelle/ and enter to the Matching Columns Game. Give enough instruction and wait until student have finished the activiy. Play the audio "The causes and effects of climate change" here and complete the activities: Causes and Effects of Climate Change Fill in the Blanks Game. - Causes and effects of climate change Froggy Jump Reading Activity Tell students that in the reading activity they are going to know a strategy for taking care of the planet and how useful is when we put it into practice. What do you know about recycling? How can people recycle at home? Set the reading task for students to read. Ask them to answer the questionary below. Besides, ask students to highlight the gerund and infinitive words they find in the text. Finally, check the answers with the help of all the participants. Encourage nominated students to justify answers by refering back to what the text said. It is optional, when finishing the reading to ask: Do you learn something new after reading the text? Were you aware of the importance of recycling? How do you feel after reading the text? Why? Speaking Activity Disscus in class: How does pollution affect the animals and ecosystems? Organise the students in group of four people, let them think an answer collectively and then, ask each group to present their insights.

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/78473/overview	Brain-Based Lesson: Polymers Overview The concept of polymers is taught after students have learned about atoms and molecules. We first build up the background knowledge of the Periodic Table of Elements and the structure of an atom, then begin to combine atoms to create molecules. We create models of atoms and molecules, allowing students to visualize what is normally unable to be seen (a Science and Engineering Practice). Students learn that the way we combine atoms (structure) and the atoms we use (composition) impact the properties that a substance will have. After some time, we begin to introduce that we can combine molecules together in similar ways that we combine atoms. These repeating patterns of molecules are called polymers. Which is where this lesson falls. This is their instruction into what a polymer is, its naming conventions, and how depending on the molecule used, we can create synthetic materials that have specific properties that suit our needs.

(Students know not to bother any materials until proper safety and instructional guidelines are explained) Once the students are seated, I grab a balloon (dipped in vegetable oil) and ask them what would happen if I were to poke the balloon with the bamboo skewer. Students state that it will pop or deflate instantly and with humor and grandiose nature I stab the skewer into the balloon popping it instantly. I then grab another balloon and ask the students if I should try again. (They obviously say yes) I take the skewer, dip it in oil and strategically place it while pushing and twisting until the skewer goes through the balloon. I then ask them the question which is the phenomena of study: “How is it possible to put a sharpened stick into a balloon without popping it?” The students are then asked to generate questions and record observations of what they saw. In small groups they are able to discuss questions and observations and to begin thinking about how they would go about completing this task. They are able to brainstorm a procedure or generate questions they want to test. (all Science and Engineering Practices that are apart of the Next Generation Science Standards Curriculum for 3-Dimensional Learning)We then take a moment to discuss safety, which can be either wholly teacher-led or allowing time for a class discussion on best safety practices and equipment for this activity. (I prefer the teacher-led as it allows me to emphasize safety while also getting to make a few jokes about the “bamboo death skewers of science” and if not held tightly while inserting into a balloon, “FLYING bamboo death skewers of science.”) I then ask the students to give this a try and begin trying to recreate what I did in front of them. . . hands on engagement activity. . . loud popping noises ensue. \| \|\| \| 15 Mins. \| Introduce New Information: ContentOur desks are then moved to the outside edge of the classroom and we gathered in the center of the room to start our content instruction where they learned the academic vocabulary needed to understand this phenomenon. We used root words to break down the meaning of a polymer and mixed in with a few jokes here and there, they learned that balloons were made of repeating groups of molecules bonded together called polymers.I ask the students to then get into groups of trimers and to connect all the class together by holding on to the middle of other trimers until no hands are free. This creates a jumbled web of students in the middle of the classroom. I then proceed to tell them they have created a balloon and must act accordingly. I begin to act like I am blowing air into them, and they (eventually) realize that they are to spread out. I proceed to move through the lesson myself acting as the bamboo skewer cutting through the balloon at different points showing how depending on where we place the skewer, the balloon may pop or stay inflated due to the number of molecules in that area that are not under stress from being inflated. I then send the students back to their desks to determine where those areas are on an inflated balloon, and to draw a model of what we would see in those areas compared to the other places with less molecules. \| \|\| \| 10 Mins \| Hands-on Activity Steps: (Prepare ways for students to practice the new information.)Students then get a balloon and draw multiple dots all over the balloon with a sharpie then proceed to inflate it. They notice that depending on the location of the dots, they will expand to vary degrees, with some expanding a lot and some not at all. They are then able to use their skewer to puncture the balloon in the locations not under stress to finally accomplish skewering their balloon (formative assessment). \| \|\| \| 15 Mins. \| Feedback: Instructor feedback?The students are then required to use their iPads to create a model using images and markup tools to show where the balloon is able to be punctured and provide insight as to why. Students practice their modeling skills to allow them to visualize what is not able to normally be seen with just their eyes. Models allow them to observe the unobservable at a scale that is too small to see but able to be observed at the macro scale (Crosscutting Concept of Scale, Proportion, and Quantity). \| \|\| \| Homework or in-class assignment \| Assessment(s): (assignments and/or activities) \| Remember to include all the materials necessary to teach the lesson.

Rock types There are different types of rocks found on Earth. These types are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Differences Sedimentary- these rocks form from small particles over time. They may contain fossils, minerals, or other matter. Metamorphic- metamorph means to change in form. These rocks form by heat and pressure from the Earth. Igneous- These rocks are the result of cooled lava. They are often a dark color from the fire or heat. Rock Cylce All of these types of rocks can be formed from each other over time. If a volcano errupts, the lava will run down and harden into rock as it cools. This rock will eventually break down into particles and can come back together with new particles. This will form a sedimentary rock. From there, this rock can be burried in the ground. With built up pressure and heat, it will turn into a metamorphic rock.

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/105798/overview	THE LEARNOPIA MODEL Overview In order to satisfy the changing demands of students in the digital age, 21st century education research focuses on investigating novel and successful teaching methodologies, educational technologies, and pedagogical approaches. Researchers look into the effects of using technology in the classroom, the success of project-based learning, the improvement of students' ability to think critically and solve problems, and the significance of social-emotional learning. They also look at how teachers might act as mentors and guides in classrooms that are student-centered. They seek to identify best practices and evidence-based approaches that equip teachers to design motivating and significant learning experiences that prepare students for the opportunities and challenges of the twenty-first century. THE LEARNOPIA MODEL A Proposed Schema of 21st Century Skills Flexible Learning Approach Cherie Anne D. Cabanada Cebu Technological University -Argao Campus [email protected] June 26, 2023 PART 1: INTRODUCTION Teachers faced problems after the epidemic, such as adjusting to remote and hybrid teaching techniques, resolving learning gaps, and successfully managing technology (UNESCO, 2020). Students, on the other hand, have struggled with disturbed learning habits, social-emotional well-being, and access to resources and assistance (OECD, 2020). Teachers frequently have difficulties in establishing effective online teaching practices, engaging students in virtual classrooms, offering customized attention and feedback, and addressing varied learning requirements (UNESCO, 2020; OECD, 2021). Furthermore, they may need to modify instructional materials and evaluations to accommodate remote or mixed learning contexts while guaranteeing equal access to education (UNESCO, 2020). However, based on current trends, teachers may confront difficulties adjusting to hybrid or remote teaching techniques, resolving learning gaps, successfully managing technology, and fostering student involvement (UNESCO, 2020). Teachers may face issues in the future relating to emerging educational technology, integrating digital resources, and guaranteeing fair access to education (OECD, 2021). One effective strategy for addressing challenges in technology-driven flexible teaching and learning is the use of a blended learning approach that combines online and in-person instruction, allowing for personalized learning experiences, collaborative activities, and the incorporation of digital tools and resources (OECD, 2021). This strategy has been shown to increase student engagement, encourage active learning, and give chances for both autonomous and collaborative learning (Hew & Brush, 2007). PART 2 PART 3 : Discuss each aspect of your model THE LEARNOPIA MODEL Flexibility, or the ability to shift and respond effectively to changing events and settings, is an essential 21st-century talent. Because everyone has various learning styles, skills, and problems, it is critical to teach flexibility to meet the requirements of different learners. Adapting teaching tactics to fit with learners' qualities and preferences has been proven in research to boost engagement, motivation, and learning results (Artino, 2012; Hughes et al., 2018). Learner-centered methods, active learning, and individualized instruction are all important considerations when choosing teaching ideas. According to research, adding ideas like cognitive load theory, social constructivism, and universal design for learning can boost student engagement, increase deep comprehension, and meet the requirements of various learners (Sweller, 2019; CAST, 2018). To fulfill the varying requirements of students, the flexible teaching method uses a range of instructional tactics, such as differentiated instruction, active learning, and technology integration (Keengwe, Onchwari, & Wachira, 2014). According to Tomlinson and Imbeau (2010), this method increases overall learning results, fosters student motivation, and enables tailored learning experiences. Flexible teaching is an appropriate method for delivering education since research shows that it is helpful in fostering student involvement and accomplishment (Keengwe, Onchwari, & Wachira, 2014; Tomlinson & Imbeau, 2010). I used a variety of digital resources, including interactive presentation tools like Prezi, collaboration platforms like Google Docs, and online assessment tools like Kahoot, to deliver lessons in an effective manner. The SAMR paradigm, which enables the modification and redefining of conventional instructional procedures, was used to guide the selection of these resources (Puentedura, 2006). By promoting active engagement, collaborative learning, and tailored experiences that are appropriate for a variety of learners and improve learning outcomes, the integration of these technologies is consistent with constructivist learning theory (Means et al., 2010). With the use of digital tools/apps/sites like Flipgrid, Google Classroom, and Open Educational Resources (OERs) from platforms like OER Commons, I used approaches for flexible learning like flipped learning, collaborative group work, and self-paced modules. As it encourages active participation, individualized learning experiences, and the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, this combination is suitable for students (Mazur, 1997; Spector, 2014). Research shows how these methods and resources can improve students' learning results and promote deeper comprehension (Hew & Cheung, 2013; Wanner & Palmer, 2015). My digital assessment method combines diagnostic, formative, and summative tests administered online using tools like Google Forms, Quizizz, and LMS-based tests. This strategy is appropriate because it provides data-driven education to assist student learning and achievement, encourages active student engagement, and allows for rapid feedback (Black & Wiliam, 1998; Nicol & Macfarlane-Dick, 2006). According to research, using digital assessments effectively improves student learning outcomes and provide useful information for instructional design (DeBacker & Nelson, 1999; Webb, 2009). As a result it enables transformative and cutting-edge educational experiences, the Modification and Redefinition (MR) levels of the SAMR model are an appropriate way to assess student learning when employing appropriate digital tools, applications, and websites. Education professionals can give students opportunity for higher-order thinking, creativity, and authentic learning experiences by utilizing technological tools and platforms that go beyond simple substitution or augmentation (Puentedura, 2006). According to research, incorporating technology at the MR levels of SAMR can enhance student motivation, engagement, and achievement (Ottenbreit-Leftwich et al., 2010; Schrum & Levin, 2009).

The lesson shows you a overview from the present simple, talking about the ways of using it and giving the student some interactive activities for him to practice What is the Present Simple? The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly (or unceasingly, which is why it’s sometimes called present indefinite). Depending on the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding ‑s or ‑es to the end. Here’s a tip: Want to make sure your writing always looks great? Make sure to review again your answers so you can make sure you don´t have any misspellings, grammatical and punctuation mistakes, and other writing issues on your writing exercises Examples interrogative sentences Some present simple examples are: Present Simple Questions We use do and does to make questions with the present simple. We use does for the third person singular (she/he/it) and do for the others. We use do and does with question words like where, what and when: - Where do Angela and Rita live? - What does Angela do? - When does Rita usually get up? Examples negative sentences Present simple negatives We use do and does to make negatives with the present simple. We use doesn't for the third person singular (she/he/it) and don't for the others. Look at these sentences: - I like tennis but I don't like football. (don't = do not) - I don't live in London now. - I don't play the piano but I play the guitar. - They don't work at the weekend. - John doesn't live in Manchester. (doesn't = does not) - Angela doesn't drive to work. She goes by bus. When to use it Present simple and present time We use the present simple to talk about: - something that is true in the present: I'm nineteen years old. I'm a student. He lives in London. - something that happens regularly in the present: I play football every weekend. - something that is always true: The human body contains 206 bones. Light travels at almost 300,000 kilometres per second. We often use adverbs of frequency like sometimes, always and never with the present simple: I sometimes go to the cinema. She never plays football. Interactive Games Cross present simple You will have 2 minutes to complete the next activity Use your ability to complete this crossword considering the conjugation of the verbs in the present simple so that they have meaning with their sentence Interactive Games Simple Video Quiz The following video is going to be a video-activity for the qualification of the present simple, complete the answers and check your answers Interactive Games Messy Simple Present Organize the sentence in the way that makes sense Interactive Slide The next video-slide is going to work as a reinforcement of the term take attention so you can understand better the present simple Interactive Game Who wants to be Millionare	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:11.852218	Lesson Plan	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/88759/overview", "title": "PRESENT SIMPLE INTERACTIVE LESSON PLAN", "author": "Lesson" }

Go through and make each sentence (declarative/purple, interogative/green, and exclamatory/red) Go through each sentence and show if it adds voice… “If it's an exclamatory sentence, reader’s can see that I am happy or yelling and sense what is really going on!” You want readers to read exactly how you are writing. We do: Show students slide show of another paragraph (slide 2) with sentences being all declarative and read the paragraph in a monotone voice. Pause and think about what that sentence sounded like. Tell STs “that paragraph I just read to you might have sounded a little boring or bland and that is because it has no descriptive punctuation, so let's go through it and fix some of the sentences up! Fix Sentences for students- demonstrate your thinking to students Repeat for another paragraph You do: I want you guys to pause the video and write in your writer’s notebook for 15 minutes about your favorite thing to do in the summer using different kinds of punctuation to show your readers how you are feeling! Remember, readers want to read exactly how you were writing! Good luck! Closure: Tell STs to take time to read their story to someone or something saying it how they would want readers to read it!	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:11.872550	Lauren Theiler	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/70288/overview", "title": "What Makes a Good Sentence?

Define what a CMM is A coordinate Measuring Machine, also recognized as a CMM, is a piece of apparatus that measures the dimensions of geometrical objects. CMMs use a very sensitive probing system to make contact with points on the surfaces of geometrical objects. A stylus (plural: styli) is the “tip” attached to the probing system on a coordinate measuring machine. . History of the CMM. The first CMM was built by the Ferranti Company of Scotland around 1950s. There was a need to measure precision mechanisms in the military products this company fabricated. This machine only had only 2 axes. Types of most CMMs. Manufactures offer four elementary types of coordinate measuring machines that offer specific benefits depending on the mechanisms being measured. - Bridge type - Cantilever type - Gantry type - Horizontal arm type Describe some types of software used in CMMs. - PC-DMIS CMM is one the world's leading coordinate measurement machine (CMM) Software. - Mitutoyo MCOSMOS 2D and 3D coordinate measuring machine software helps achieve measuring activities rapidly and simply.

In the tutorial, students take two quizzes (one at the beginning and one at the end) and a scaffolded activity. Hardy_Weinberg Tutorial (via Canvas LMS) This Canvas module is an active learning step-by-step tutorial on solving a Hardy-Weinberg problem. In the tutorial, students take two quizzes (one at the beginning and one at the end) and a scaffolded activity. The problem is based on the following scenario. Scenario: In a population of 1150 frogs in which the striped morphology is dominant to solid color (non-striped morphology), 225 are solid colored. As students work through the activity, they are required to identify (perform) each step and are given choices to select the correct steps. Incorrect selections provide feedback to guide the student to the correct step. Correct selections explain why the step is correct. There are two tutorial choices based on the instructor's preference. The first focuses on finding the values of the allele frequencies and genotypic frequencies. The second contains an additional component in which students use the chi-square test to determine if the population is equilibrium. Below are the links to the tutorials. It is recommended that the instructor import the module to a Canvas sandbox before incorporating into a course.

This is formative and graded based on engagement. Literary Quick Takes I use this for group discussion in both online and in-class formats. It is intended to allow students to explore the meaning of the text in relation to themselves and to engage in meaningful discussion with peers. Gilgamesh is the quintessential hero; he the first recorded hero, and he is also the prototype for not only Joseph Campbell’s Heroic Journey, but also Ernest Becker’s Heroic Systems; it is also obvious how these theories apply once we consider it. Please watch this breakdown of the Heroic Journey: Do you have a favorite show, film, book, comic, etc., that is the perfect example of the Heroic Journey? Please outline it using these steps from the lecture: The first part, the Departure, includes the following stages: - The Status Quo - The Call to Adventure - Assistance - Departure The second part, the Initiation, includes the following stages: - Trials - Approach to the Innermost Cave - Crisis - Treasure - Result The third part, the Return, includes the following stages: - Return - Resurrection This breakdown can be brief (one or two complete sentences per “part”). Finally, please consider the values, or the “heroic systems”, that underly your heroic journey.	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:11.938350	07/22/2021	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/84095/overview", "title": "In Class Activity or Online Discussion: Gilgamesh Literary Quick Take", "author": "Robert Ladd" }

Scholars in business, communication, psychology, and many other fields have written extensively about the qualities of leaders, theories of leadership, and how to build leadership skills. It’s important to point out that although a group may have only one official leader, other group members play important leadership roles. Making this distinction also helps us differentiate between leaders and leadership.Owen Hargie, Skilled Interpersonal Interaction: Research, Theory, and Practice (London: Routledge, 2011), 456. The leader is a group role that is associated with a high-status position and may be formally or informally recognized by group members. Leadership is a complex of beliefs, communication patterns, and behaviors that influence the functioning of a group and move a group toward the completion of its task. A person in the role of leader may provide no or poor leadership. Likewise, a person who is not recognized as a “leader” in title can provide excellent leadership. In the remainder of this section, we will discuss some approaches to the study of leadership, leadership styles, and leadership and group dynamics. Why and How People Become Leaders Throughout human history, some people have grown into, taken, or been given positions as leaders. Many early leaders were believed to be divine in some way. In some indigenous cultures, shamans are considered leaders because they are believed to be bridges that can connect the spiritual and physical realms. Many early kings, queens, and military leaders were said to be approved by a god to lead the people. Today, many leaders are elected or appointed to positions of power, but most of them have already accumulated much experience in leadership roles. Some leaders are well respected, some are feared, some are hated, and many elicit some combination of these reactions. This brief overview illustrates the centrality of leadership throughout human history, but it wasn’t until the last hundred years that leadership became an object of systematic study. Before we move onto specific approaches to studying leadership, let’s distinguish between designated and emergent leaders. In general, some people gravitate more toward leadership roles than others, and some leaders are designated while other are emergent.Owen Hargie, Skilled Interpersonal Interaction: Research, Theory, and Practice (London: Routledge, 2011), 456. Designated leaders officially recognized in their leadership role and may be appointed or elected by people inside or outside the group. Designated leaders can be especially successful when they are sought out by others to fulfill and are then accepted in leadership roles. On the other hand, some people seek out leadership positions not because they possess leadership skills and have been successful leaders in the past but because they have a drive to hold and wield power. Many groups are initially leaderless and must either designate a leader or wait for one to emerge organically. Emergent leaders gain status and respect through engagement with the group and its task and are turned to by others as a resource when leadership is needed. Emergent leaders may play an important role when a designated leader unexpectedly leaves. We will now turn our attention to three common perspectives on why some people are more likely to be designated leaders than others and how leaders emerge in the absence of or in addition to a designated leader. A group leader may be formally designated by someone inside or outside the group or may emerge naturally during early group meetings. © Thinkstock "A Primer on Communication Studies" by Anonymous by request is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 People have studied leadership since ancient times, and theories of leadership have been around for centuries (Plato, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, etc.); however, it wasn't until the 20th century that the modern theories began to take shape. Today, researchers study leadership the same way that they study other aspects of psychology: they seek to get a better understanding of people's behavior and motivation. The problem with some of these theories is that they tend to contradict instead of complementing each other. They seek to identify one set of rules or behaviors that turns someone into a leader. The reality is likely a combination of all the theories and some ideas that have yet to be defined. It is best to study these theories with an open mind and understand that they each have their own merits. Remember that emphasis should not be placed on any one theory. "BUS401: Management Leadership" Saylor Academy is licensed under CC BY 3.0 Styles and Types of Leaders Over time, every manager refines his or her own leadership style, or way of interacting with and influencing others. Despite a vast range of personal differences, leadership styles tend to reflect one of the following approaches to leading and motivating people: the autocratic, the democratic (also known as participative), or the free rein. Autocratic style. Managers who have developed an autocratic leadership style tend to make decisions without soliciting input from subordinates. They exercise authority and expect subordinates to take responsibility for performing the required tasks without undue explanation. Democratic style. Managers who favor a democratic leadership style generally seek input from subordinates while retaining the authority to make the final decisions. They are also more likely to keep subordinates informed about things that affect their work. Free-rein style. In practicing a free rein leadership style, managers adopt a “hands-off” approach and provide relatively little direction to subordinates. They may advise employees but usually give them considerable freedom to solve problems and make decisions on their own. At first glance, you’d probably not want to work for an autocratic leader. After all, most people don’t like to be told what to do without having any input. Many like the idea of working for a democratic leader; it’s flattering to be asked for your input. And though working in a free rein environment might seem a little unsettling at first, the opportunity to make your own decisions is appealing to many people. Each leadership style can be appropriate in certain situations. (Skripak) Chapter 7 Download this book for free at: 171 http://hdl.handle.net/10919/70961 "Fundamentals of Business " by Stephen J. Skripak, Virginia Tech’s Pamplin College of Business is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 Types and Styles of Leadership There are many types and styles of leadership. Here are four types of leadership with descriptions: Transformational Leaders: Try to act as a mentor or coach to followers Consider and focus on the individuals’ needs Encourages creativity Inspire others to have a common vision Encourage them to work towards shared vision Encourage personal development and progress Brings about learning innovation and change Transactional Leaders: Have a system of clear responsibilities and rewards If person puts in lots of effort/does a good job, reward provided Links goals with rewards Have a system of discipline/punishment (not necessarily said aloud) Make sure followers know what their responsibilities are Monitor performance and take action to correct things when needed Examples: “If you do this, you’ll get a raise.” “If you don’t do this, you’ll be fired.” Charismatic Leaders: Can inspire and direct others using a common vision and values and they pay attention to people they are talking to; the person feels like they are the most important person at that time. Charismatic leaders will distinguish the group from others & and separate it as the best/superior group in the minds of followers. Charismatic Leaders will firmly attach themselves to the group identity, creating an unchallengeable position of loyalty, enthusiasm, and high levels of performance Characteristics: Self-confident, vision, strong communication skills, behavior is out of ordinary Examples: Hitler, and Martin Luther King Jr. Servant Leaders: Are servants first, then choose to lead, they usually start off doing things for the group and eventually are directed towards a leadership position, as they become important to group. They wants others to be involved in decision making. They serve those they lead Examples: Gandhi "Lecture notes" by Amanda Mok, and Lauren Rodda, Leadership Training Institute is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 One of two key strengths that leaders need to possess are to be able to collaborate and negotiate, both within themselves and also in pulling together their personnel to do the same.

COLLABORATION AND NEGOTIATION \| What is collaboration? A collaborative team is a slighty different version of a traditional team because its members have different skill sets. That holds the importance of collaboration. As importnat is collaboration, the teamwork holds the same. Teamwork is the joint action of people working toward the same end goal. Collaboration Skills in the Workplace Improve your self-awareness Resource management Collaboration tools Create a learning experience Encourage innovation Soft skills Addressing problems Forgiving the mistakes Live by purpose Tom Wujec presents some surprisingly deep research into the "marshmallow problem" -- a simple team-building exercise that involves dry spaghetti, one yard of tape and a marshmallow. Who can build the tallest tower with these ingredients? And why does a surprising group always beat the average? What is negotiation? Negotiation is a process where two parties settle their differences. They do this process by which compromise or agreement is reached while avoiding argument and dispute. In any disagreement, individuals understandably aim to achieve the best possible outcome for their position (or perhaps an organization they represent). Expressions of Negotiation The following list outlines some situations and phrases that can be used to more effectively work through and negotiate various situations in the business world. WELCOMING: These phrases are used when welcoming people into the company or at the beginning of a meeting. It’s my pleasure to welcome you to … I would like to welcome you to … Is this your first visit to …? SCHEDULE AND AGENDA: These phrases are used to point out the topics or times of the meetings. I would like now to begin by suggesting the following agenda. To start with, I think we should establish the overall procedure PROPOSALS: These phrases are used during a meeting to propose and reach agreements for the things that need to be done. We’d like to propose / suggest that … Regarding your proposal, our position is … How do you feel about … Perhaps a better idea would be … May we offer an alternative? We propose that … What exactly do you mean by …? I’m not sure I fully understand your point. Could you be more specific? This agreement is acceptable to us. I think we have reached an agreement here. That sounds reasonable. I think we have a deal. I believe we have an agreement. I can agree to that. We are ready to accept your offer; however, there would be one condition. AGREEING: These phrases are used to accept the ideas and/or proposals of others during a meeting or bussiness conversation. I think we can both agree that… I agree with you on that point. OBJECTING: These phrases are used to reject or deny the ideas and/or proposals of others during a meeting or bussiness conversation. If you look at it from my point of view… From my perspective… I’m afraid we couldn’t agree to that… The reason for that is … This is because … CONCLUDING: These phrases are used when finishing a meeting or bussiness conversation as a form of conclusion. I think you’ve covered everything. Let’s just confirm the details, then. Have I left anything out? William Ury, author of "Getting to Yes," offers an elegant, simple (but not easy) way to create agreement in even the most difficult situations -- from family conflict to, perhaps, the Middle East. Some challenges that can cause collaboration and negotiation to be difficult within groups and/or organizations, is the struggle of power and ongoing conflict. These will be touched on in our next module. References Collaboration citation will go here... Overview Business expressions for making negotiations.

Power can be earned in a promotion within the organization or just a reflection of knowledge. There is nothing wrong with using your power appropriately. People can sometimes link power with evil or being corrupt, but it is a fact of organizational life. When it comes to leadership it can be used to benefit others or to constrain them. Six Type of Power Legitimate Power: This can also be called positional power. This is the power individuals have from obtaining their role and status within an organization. Referent Power: This power comes from the ability of individuals to attract other and to help build loyalty. It is based on the personality and interpersonal skills of the power holder. Expert Power: This draws from a person’s knowledge and skills and is very strong when an organization has a need for them. Reward Power: This comes from the ability to confer valued material rewards or create other positive incentives. This can include things such as promotions, increases in pay or extra time off. Coercive Power: This is the treat and application of sanctions and other negative consequences. This can include direct punishment and relies on fear. Information Power: This power comes from the access to facts and knowledge that others find useful or helpful. This can sometimes be used to build credibility and rational persuasion. All of these sources of power can be used individually or can be combined to achieve the end goal. The more sources of power that one has access to, the greater the overall power to get things done. These types of power vary depending on the person trying to use them. Depending on your style it can be different. Interpersonally oriented people may use softer tactics whereas extroverts tend to use more of a variety of tactics. To be able to better manage power conflict, we will address the specific power dyamics that makes up a leader and members on a team and/or in an organization, in the next module. "References BUS403: Negotiations and Conflict Management" is licensed under CC BY 3.0 Power Dynamics Power DynamicsWhen you search power dynamics the term comes back with very broad results. In this section I will focus on the power dynamic of leaders and also within a group or team. I will also touch on cultural power dynamics of groups and how to successfully and effectively work in a group with others of different backgrounds.. A "power dynamic" is the way different people or different groups of people interact with each other and where one of these sides is more powerful than the other one. Definition work team. The definition of an effective work team in this ProfEd is as follows: “A team consisting of three or more people who collectively work towards a common goal through coordinated efforts. Their complementing skills lead to a team performance that is better than the sum of their individual input.” Note that a work team is not the same as a work group: work groups do not have a common goal and do not aim for synergy. Workers in a work group are individually accountable for their performance and their goal is to exchange information https://www.oercommons.org/courses/key-skill-assessment-unit-working-with-othersWorking effectively with other people in a group or a team is a skill valued highly by community and educational organisations, as well as employers. Working in a group is about communicating effectively, contributing ideas, listening and receiving feedback, and leading or following as appropriate. Developing your skills means thinking about and planning the tasks the group needs to do, negotiating with others to develop shared goals and purpose, collaborating to achieve agreed results and then reviewing the approach. Leadership is all about power dynamics. As a matter of fact, it’s power dynamics that differentiate between great leaders, and poor ones. Poor leaders solely rely on rank and formal authority (hard power, or “power over”), while better leaders acquire power by virtue of their personality and people’s skills, making others want to follow them (“power through”). Great leaders would acquire social status within groups even if they had no rank and formal power over others. Now that we've covered power dynamics, we can expand further in the next module on how these can be implemented more effectively within group dynamics and leadership roles in a group and/or organization. https://thepowermoves.com/power-dynamics/ References:"11 Practical Steps Towards Healthy Power Dynamics at Work" is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 "Key Skill Assessment Unit: Working With Others" is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0"Influencing Stakeholders: Dealing with Power and Dynamics in Teams and Networks" is licensed under CC BY 4.0 "Dynamic Customer Journey: How conversation is changing the way people and brands interact" by stefanomaggi is licensed under CC BY-ND 2.0 \| LEADERSHIP AND GROUP DYNAMICS Leadership and Group Dynamics Understanding management means understanding people. What motivates us to engage deeply and perform powerfully at work? How do we inspire that in teams? What are the best ways to organize ourselves to exploit opportunities and solve problems? These are critical questions for all leaders who share the goal of thriving in a global, digital, fast-paced future. There are countless ways we can approach those topics, and diverse perspectives to consider—as is evident from the thousands of management manuals, podcasts, executive seminars and more. For example, among the TED Talks included in Leading Wisely, Itay Talgam shares a lyrical metaphor on the style of the great conductors, while Clay Shirky delivers a statistical deconstruction of the power of informal networks. It's precisely this enormous scope and variety that defines the reality of modern management and which makes it so fascinating, and so vital. Modern thinking on management — from teaching and research inside universities to the way the world's most revered businesses organize themselves — has continuously evolved throughout the 20th and early 21st century. What's more, the pace of this evolution is increasing: the TED Talks in this collection cover a number of topics that didn't even exist ten years ago! This means successful managers must learn quickly, forecast trends and execute wisely. Division of labor and beyond: Management theory is born Industrialization shaped the work of the first management theorists in the US and Europe, where efforts to perfect new production processes gave management a practical focus and scientific method. Mining engineer Henri Fayol was one of the first to set out clear principles of management, which were formed through experiences organizing labor and machinery to extract coal in the most cost-efficient way. In the early decades of the 20th century Fayol identified six core principles of management: forecasting, planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling. A century later, these key principles still shape our ideas about management, even though we may implement them in more sophisticated ways. In Fayol's time, managers enacted these six principles through authority and discipline, and the regimentation of that approach created as many problems as it did advantages. For example, perfecting production techniques through the division of labor involved a systematic breaking-down of production into repetitive, individual tasks, or 'piece work'. This formed the foundation of a new mass-production economy and significantly improved the standard of living for many workers and consumers--but the work was often tedious and didn't draw upon the worker's ideas or abilities in any meaningful way. Fayol's contemporary, Henry Ford, provides the most famous example. In his quest to mass-produce an affordable automobile, Ford identified 84 specific steps required to assemble the Model T and hired Frederick Taylor, the creator of "scientific management," to conduct time and motion studies on the factory floor. In this way, Ford reasoned, he would know exactly how long it should take his workers to complete each of the 84 steps, and he could direct the exact motions each worker should use so that the assembly proceeded with maximum efficiency. Ford also reasoned that he could reduce the time spent on each task if his workers didn't have to move from one assembly to the next. So in 1913, inspired by a grain mill conveyor belt he'd seen, Ford introduced the first moving assembly line for factory production. Only a year later, Ford surprised everyone when he announced that he would double wages and reduce working hours at his Detroit auto plant. Wall Street investors were dismayed. Media around the world reported Ford's announcement as a philanthropic gesture, or speculated that Ford was trying to create a bigger market for his Model T by creating a new middle-class American workforce. The reality? Ford realized he could lower turnover, and the costs of recruiting and training new employees, by offering better conditions and pay. Beyond efficiency: Valuing people When he raised wages and shortened the work day, Ford signaled that employee satisfaction was an essential element of successful management. There was a growing appetite to understand workers in this context and, more than that, to take a sociological or even anthropological viewpoint. Although sociologists like Emile Durkheim had begun this work in the late 19th century, the backlash against division of labor gained momentum in the 1920s and '30s, when the horrors of the First World War fueled disillusionment with wide-scale mechanization. Many felt that workers were treated as machinery measured by volume of production alone. In contrast, Elton Mayo highlighted the importance of social ties and a sense of belonging in the workplace. In Mayo's view, managers had to acknowledge these needs and listen to their employees, in order to make workers feel valued. Mayo's ideas originated in part from his work at the Hawthorne General Electric Plant in Chicago, where he measured the effect of lighting levels on employees at the plant. Mayo found that simply taking an interest in the activities and opinions of staff produced a motivating effect—though when his work concluded and the plant returned to business as usual, productivity dropped. Although Mayo championed a different kind of dynamic between managers and their subordinates in order to improve conditions and increase output, workers were given no real decision making power. Nevertheless, his work advanced management theory in a significant way, and decades later we can appreciate its influence on the people-oriented, more democratic operation of many modern companies like Semco. Its CEO, TED speaker Ricardo Semler, acknowledges that "it takes a leap of faith about losing control" to reorient a company so that it truly takes care of its people and treats them as its most important asset. An orchestra conductor faces the ultimate leadership challenge: creating perfect harmony without saying a word. In this charming talk, Itay Talgam demonstrates the unique styles of six great 20th-century conductors, illustrating crucial lessons for all leaders. Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership -- starting with a golden circle and the question: "Why?" His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King Jr. and the Wright brothers ... Leadership and Group Dynamics What is Group Dynamics? The term ‘Group Dynamics’ comes from Kurt Lewin's (1948) studies of the impact of groups on members. Groups are given the opportunity to: Build interaction with each other Encourage communication Challenge individuals to take on roles and attributes to better function within the group Allow for personal growth Formal groups are used to organize and distribute work, devise plans, coordinate activities, increase commitment, negotiate, resolve conflicts, and conduct inquests. Group working allows the pooling of people's individual skills and knowledge and helps compensate for individual deficiencies. The study of leadership and power in groups is part of what we call group dynamics. What is Leadership? Leadership is...a relationship between one or more individuals and one or more other individuals within the framework of the social unit called a group. One part of the group is being called leader or leaders, while the other part is comprised of followers. Having the right leader in place is important. A leader impacts the group in many ways.

The air was so invigorating that it filled him with a desire to run across the unbroken fields of snow and down the endless sloping plain until he had to stop and pant for a breath. Pieter felt a little cold. He put the collar of his shirt up about his neck and with the back of his hand wiped off a drop of ice which shone on his ruddy nose. It was eleven o'clock at night. The moon was concealed by menacing clouds, and the dismal note of the fog-horn seemed to draw itself out over the silent, meditating waters, while—as we imperceptibly drew away from the dock—the shadowy forms of the piers and storage-houses would stealthily approach, become fixed and rigid for an instant, and then would glide rapidly away into the night. After a few minutes a gust of wind warned us that the ship had reached the open sea. The clanking roar of an anchor being lowered and the heavy bumping of railway carriages still came to our ears from Southampton, and then—no further earthly sound whatever unless it was the faint lapping of the tiny waves against the side of the ship. . . .	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:12.041360	03/09/2022	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/90782/overview", "title": "Buse Özdemir OER material", "author": "buse özdemir" }

These interconnected devices use a combination of hardware (like cables, routers, switches, and wireless access points) and software (operating systems, network protocols, and applications) to facilitate reliable, efficient, and secure data exchange. By establishing a common language and set of rules (protocols) for communication, computer networks create an environment in which information flows seamlessly, often transcending geographic and organizational boundaries.

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/91893/overview	Peardeck as a Tool to Increase Learner Engagement Overview This OER is an analysis of the Google Slides add-on Peardeck Why did you select this technology for this project? Peardeck is Google Slides add-on that allows educators to seamlessly integrate checks for understanding, retrevial practice, and fromative assessment into their lessons. Peardeck gives each learner an opporutnity to share what they know without the pressures of having to share in front of their peers. Peardeck gives educators the option to question students in real time while presenting content in a Google Slide. I choose to highlight Peardeck for this project because I have seen first hand how effective this add-on is in the learning environment. The ability for educators and learners to recieve immediate feedback allows for the learning process to be conitually adjusted to meet the specific needs of a group individual learner. The use of this tool increased learners engagement during presentations because learners knew their understanding would be checked. The use of Peardeck makes learners active participants during presentations rather than passive participants. Where can I see this being used? Peardeck is being used at K-12 Districts, and Insititutions across the country. I was first introduced to this tool by Scott M. at Hilton HS during my student teaching experience. In Hilton CSD Peardeck is widely used by teachers and students have become acustom to the use of the tool while content is being presented via Google Slides. Teachers at Hilton utilize this tool to create a variety of different checks for understanding that they are able to scatter throughout their Google Slide presentations. The teachers are able to use this feedback immediatly while students are answer the question and can use that feedback to determine if the class is ready to move on or if more instruction is needed. This feedback can also be saved and used for more indepth and individualized feedback on student learning. Teachers at this school also use the peardeck tools ability to assign a grade to a student performance during the presenation of a Peardeck. What are its key features? As previously mentioned, Peardeck allows teachers to ask students questions while moving through Google Slide presentations. One key feature that Peardeck has is that the students can move through the presentation at their own pace (Student Paced Presentation) or the teacher can lead the class (Instructor Paced Presentation) and each student follows along on their own device. The teacher will be prompted to choose what mode they would like to use and this can be seen in the picture below. When creating a Peardeck presentation, Instructors have some choice in the types of questions that they would like to ask their students. Teachers will be able to choose from a total of six different types of questions including text, choice, website, draggable, draw, and numbers. Each one of these types of questions opens up vast amounts of possibilites for educators to get creative and engage their students. The question will automatically be prompted to students as they move through the slide show and the answers will be recorded for the teacher to view. Teachers can save these responses to review at another time. How does it work? - The first intial step that an educator will need to take to use Peardeck is to visit the Google Chrome Store and download the Peardeck add-on by clicking "Add to Chrome." I have included the link here for convience: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pear-deck/dnloadmamaeibnaadmfdfelflmmnbajd?hl=en. - Once you have downloaded the add on you will need to find or create a presentataion and brainstorm some questions that you may want to add for your students. Now that you have some questions that you want to ask you will find the "Add-on" tab at the top of your Google Slides screen. You will then manouver through the menu until it prompts to click the "Open Peardeck Add-on." - A menu will open on the right side of your screen with the options for the various types of questions that you can ask your students. You are now ready to insert whatever question that you would like into your Google Slide presentation. There is no limit to the amount of questions that you can ask your students. Once you're ready to present you will click the "Start Lesson" button and choose which type of presentation you would like to do, Student-paced or Instructor-paced. A code will appear and students will be able to join your Peardeck! How does it work for educational purposes? The value that Peardeck provides to educators is undeniable. Teachers can use this platform to create interactive and engaging presentations that aim to enage every student in your classroom and get them to participate in the classroom activity. Peardeck specifically serves as a type of formative assessment that provides valuable feedback to educators during the course of a lesson. Peardeck helps teachers to evaluate everyone including students that don't typically participate in the classroom. For example, when I was student teaching I discovered Peardeck and began to employ it in my classroom. In this classroom, just like every other classroom, I had groups of students who didn't actively particpate. What I found when using this tool was these students began to be more engaged and would even be excited to see their answers up on the board. In some instance I had these students asking me to read their answers to provide them with feedback on what they put. Keep in mind just days prior these students were not engaged in the same type of presentation and did not particpate. By mindfully integrating this tool into my presentations I was able to create a better and more effective learning environemnt for my students. What are the future uses and implications of this technology in the context of three education levels: K-12, Higher Ed, Corporate? As technology continues to be integrated into classrooms across the world so will the use of add-ons and edtech tools such as Peardeck. Peardeck allows quick and effective feedback for both educators and learners which was not previously possible with the traditional paper and pen setting. This is the goal of integrating technology into classrooms, enable educators to provide learning opportunites not previously possible without technology. This tool will continue to grow in education and create learning opportunites. There are no limits to what types of presentations or what types of settings that Peardeck can be integrated into. It is easy to use and very straightforward allowing it to be used by even the least tech-savy individuals. This technology will contribute to the transformation of our educational institutions and it is likely that it will weave its way into the corperate educational setting as well. What are the challenges/downsides to using it and what tips can you give users to deal with these? - There are not many downfalls to using Peardeck, but there are a few things to keep in mind when using this add-on. One thing to consider is that every user will need to have a google account to be able to join the Peardeck. This is not an issue in many K-12 schools, but higher ed insititutions and at the corperate level it is not guaranteed that each learner will have an google account. Google accounts are very and easy to create so this isn't a significant barrier. - Another consideration is that there is a paid version of Peardeck, but it is not requried to use the base version of the add-on. There are six total tools that can be used and with the free version of Peardeck you will have access to four out the the six tools. - Lastly a challenge that teachers may face with Peardeck is students working at different paces. When creating questions with Peardeck you will want to consider this and plan for it. My reccomendation is to keep most questions simple checks for understanding with a longer or increasingly difficult question at the end of the presentation. My views on OERs. Open Education Resources (OERs) are a valuable part of the collaborative nature of education. Allowing educators to share content, ideas, and materials in a medium that encompasses thousands of differnet types of resources is a valuable resource. OERs provide immediate and continued access to tons of resources of educators. OERs foster collaboration amoungest educators by allowing them to share materials that can then be adapted, improved, and shared again. OERs are another way that technology is working to push forward and improve our eductional systems.	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:12.152942	04/18/2022	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/91893/overview", "title": "Peardeck as a Tool to Increase Learner Engagement", "author": "Andrew Huffman" }

What is Political Science? There is a difference between Political Science and Government. (1) It is nice to think about Political Science being the actors who are involved in making the decisions that have been involved in government. (2) Government is an idea of the institutions that have been created, in which politicians are employed. The Google Slides provides a foundation for understanding the difference between Political Science and Government!

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/84165/overview	In Class Activity or Online Discussion: Wife of Bath Literary Quick Take Overview The literary quick takes are weekly discussions and in-class activities that I use to frame the text for the students. This is mostly formative and graded based on engagement. Literary Quick Takes I use this for group discussion in both online and in-class formats. It is intended to allow students to explore the meaning of the text in relation to themselves and to engage in meaningful discussion with peers. In this discussion, I would like to highlight an important point illuminated by the Wife of Bath, especially in her prologue: there is nothing "wrong" with men. The problematic aspects of the society include the demonization of others, such as misogyny. These elements are highlighted in many of our stories: the Knight learns to respect women's agency, Shahrayar is redeemed, Achilles finds his way back to compassion, and Gilgamesh can accept his mortality. Rather, it is the persistence of destructive and negative methods of denying reality and others' rights to happiness that lead us astray. With that in mind, here is a former Police Special Operations officer Shane Horsburgh on redefining masculinity (please note there is mention of suicide): Horsburgh notes that he created a "false image" and a "false map" or manhood. Alyson shows us a similarly nuanced view of manhood through her five husbands, most notably through her tale. The Knight has a similarly destructive view of women as an object at the beginning of the tale. To be blunt, he rapes a virgin, and this is a reality that we must reckon with: Why does Queen Guinevere not execute the knight, and what might Chaucer indicate about the problematic way some men relate with the world?	oercommons	2025-03-18T00:34:12.238275	07/23/2021	{ "license": "Public Domain", "url": "https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/84165/overview", "title": "In Class Activity or Online Discussion: Wife of Bath Literary Quick Take", "author": "Robert Ladd" }
