PMI‟s, over the next 10 to 15 years. A number of upgrades have followed [Crawford et al 2006]. Interestingly, none of these documents emerged from academic institutions or, with one ® exception, from explicit research. Originally PMBOK was based on “what most Project Managers do most of the time” but this has now been modified to “generally recognised practice…applicable to most projects most of the time” [PMI 2004: 3]. APM‟s early BoKs were academically led and one later version had a research based…

What I Learned “We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.” People go through their whole lives trying to figure out who they are, look for a sense of purpose or belonging, or attempt to discover the right path for them-self. The lucky ones have somehow found what ever it is they were looking for throughout their journey. They try to teach the people who are still looking how to find their way but often fail because…

respect or acknowledge the fact that women are not there to take care of them. In some ways, men are sometimes seen as the term that women use often: animals. However, that would be an immoral judgment. In Barbara Ehrenreich's short essay, "What I've learned from Men," she describes and bases her essay on things women can learn from men. In this essay, she proves that men influence women to become tough because of all the battles and arguments between the genders which make women realize they are…

An overview of what I learned in the course: The main thing that stood out for me was Universal Design for Learning, and how much “assistive technology” and “accessibility” tools benefits EVERYONE! There is no such thing as average! Even as adults we benefit from this approach! We learned about an overwhelming amount of resources, and I look forward to exploring more of them. Off the top of my head, some of the tools that stand out the most for me are: Google Chrome extensions (so many!), iPad accessibility…

What I Learned About Leadership Introduction Before taking this course, I was under the assumption that people were either born leaders or they weren’t. Through learning from authors like Robert Quinn, James Hunter, and many others, I have realized that developing into a leader is a process that anyone can submit themselves to, regardless of background. Looking at the examples of Jesus and other famous leaders has helped me realize what this process of becoming a leader looks like. As I said before…

Working with children that have language disorders and cognitive issues the more knowledge I gain in this area assist with the quality of instruction that I provide. Meaningful learning is vital in assisting students to learn and to store newly learned knowledge. Students will benefit from high quality concrete examples, simple and precise instructions. Language development should be encouraged and modelled students should have the opportunity to ask questions. Introducing new words within instructions…

learning experiences and the challenges ahead between us (smiling). However, I think you should be careful with allowing your personal experiences to become bias or stereotypical thoughts; it may come off offensive to some. Question 2 One thing I’ve noticed about myself in this course is that I have a lot more learning to do. As I stated earlier, Dan has really opened my eyes to my lack of experience in the field, and while I may know the basics because of my experience in the field, there is…

Essay 1 What have you learned from your various leadership experiences? I have always been a firm believer of the fact that leadership experiences help in shaping a student’s inner as well as outer self to some extent. The kind of leadership activities I have been a part of range from scholastic activities to sports activities and community services. My definition of being a leader is one, who is committed to his work, put his best in what his doing and learning from successes and failures. A leader…

Over the last seven weeks of this course, I have activated prior knowledge, learned new information, shared concerns, and strategies with my colleagues. This class affirmed knowledge gained both from my undergraduate studies as well as additional research I have independently completed on literacy. The first week of this class required me to think about how I define literacy. I believe that know that I have completed this course, I am better able to summarize and identify my definition of literacy…
