1. What does an “iterative process” mean in the context of design thinking? Iterative process in design thinking is defined as method of designing various products where it undergoes number of tests and analyzed constantly to make a product that is flawless before the product is released into the market. It is a cyclic process of prototyping, testing, analyzing and refining the product or process. On the basis of the results found in this process necessary and changes are made accordingly. Products are prototyped, tested, analyzed and refined again and again where the process starts all over again. Iterative process is a cyclic process and Iteration doesn’t end even after the actual finished product is released. Iteration is done even after the release of the product; this is carried out to improve the functionality. Iterative process is very important in designing a product as it eliminates flaws and guarantees a good user experience. This process is done to so that flaws developed in the early stages can minimized and the cost correcting this is minimal. 2. How are convivial tools different from industrial tools?

The A.E Staley building is an interesting building. This building was built back in April, 1930 and carried a couple of different names “The castle in the cornfields” and “The lighthouse of the prairie”. Its 14 stories high, which was the tallest building in downstate Illinois during that period. What’s interesting about this building is that it has bronze arches with stained glass at the front of the building, which resembles a neo-gothic style building that was similar to many buildings built during that time period. It resembles the cathedral of learning, which was also build during the 1920s. The Staley building is a steel frame structure overlaid with Indian limestone. The Saint Louis arch is another interesting piece that is truly a sight. This piece was build

As educators, it is important to address individual differences in students’ recognition, strategic, or affective networks, thus providing the best possible support by individualizing pathways to learning through Universal Design for Learning (UDL). A study on alternative education for children suggests oversimplifying learner differences by categorizing students into two groups, regular and special, fails to accurately represent the full diversity of learners in the classroom. ( Meo, 2010, p. 21) Therefore, UDL is a framework for designing curriculum which provides all students equal opportunities to learn, with no discrimination to individual needs. In order for students to have equal opportunity in their learning and achievement,
Writing a paper on the writing process is pretty hard. The writing process is different from one person to another. You come across questions like, 'What exactly is the writing process?'; and 'Must you follow one persons writing process if yours is different?'; This is where I came across the answer to my questions, write however you wish to write. If one person likes free write first and another person likes to write a draft first, let them do how they please.
Part of the challenge is getting buy in from old-time teachers that struggle with technology. It?s a matter of providing the necessary professional development so that teachers are confident. Our professional learning communities? school wide is helping. Last year the district technology director instituted district wide professional learning communities in all 1:1 classrooms. This gave teachers from other schools in the district opportunities to share what has worked in their classroom. We now have a new Technology Director and those same district wide professional learning communities are not in place for 1:1 teachers yet. Bringing back district wide PLC?s specifically for 1:1 classrooms would help improve processes in those educational
Before taking this course I took, “Introduction to Education.” During that course we spent a lot of time talking a lot about the Governments role in education and the growth of its role in education. We spent time talking about how states and local governments were primarily responsible for the education process. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and No Child Left Behind (NCLB) was also discussed. Both of these laws offered great improvements to the education process but also had drawbacks. One drawback is as the book stated a lot of teachers have to teach what is contained in the test. Gifted children are not challenged and disabled children don’t always grow academically as quick as a normal student.
Graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, at this point in my life, is critical. It’s the goal I’ve set for myself and it’s the goal I’m going to achieve. Yes, my parents wanting me to study Engineering is a big part of why I chose the major, but it also has a lot to do with my interests. I’ve been in a specialized program since I entered the Performing and Visual Arts Magnet program (PVA) in sixth grade as a Vocal major. Many of my peers dropped out of the course, deeming it too rigorous, but I stuck with it because that was my goal. Then, when I started high school, I became a Theatre major and stuck through another four years of long days, many classes, and nighttime rehearsals all because it was merely what I expected of myself. Now that I’m in college and studying Engineering, nothing has changed. I am still just as dedicated to my studies as I have always been, but now I’m able to study something that has always intrigued me. Engineering piqued my interest and my love for math and science led me to the objective I’ve set for myself. I have my end goal and I will achieve a Bachelor of Science in Engineering.
Thank goodness for Mrs. Ewing, my high school writing teacher! She taught me how to be a better writer. She is a strict teacher, but she also knows how to make learning fun, and I think that is why I remember some of the things she taught. For instance, my class did thesaurus drills to see who could come up with the best answer to the word she would give us. Also, Mrs. Ewing was diligent about writing examples as a class on the board before giving us our assignments to ensure everyone knew what was expected of them. She creates a fun learning environment for the class to comprehend the various steps to preparing a successful essay.

I wrote down all of the ingredients as well as the procedure in chronological order.
