Abstract/Description
-
Mobile technology is quickly becoming an integral tool of business intelligence in U.S. public school systems. While cost and implementation are budgetary concerns, advancement of such technology such as the iPad in the arena of public education is having influence on the academic and social experiences of students. This paper defines business intelligence and iPad technology. Additionally drawing on the research of Jensen and Morreale, it examines critical factors for academic success...
Show moreMobile technology is quickly becoming an integral tool of business intelligence in U.S. public school systems. While cost and implementation are budgetary concerns, advancement of such technology such as the iPad in the arena of public education is having influence on the academic and social experiences of students. This paper defines business intelligence and iPad technology. Additionally drawing on the research of Jensen and Morreale, it examines critical factors for academic success through a quantitative study of high school junior and senior students enrolled in a gifted program in the Steubenville, OH City School system, and presents findings on Attitude and Satisfaction on the use of iPad technology, Academic Engagement, Academic Performance, and Social Support

ACADEMIC PREPARATION AND THE INFLUENCE OF IPAD TECHNOLOGY ON MILITARY AND US VETERAN STUDENTS.

Joseph Compomizzi, Beth L. Sindaco
-
Abstract/Description
-
Studies indicate that enrollment of military and US veterans in college is expected to grow because of benefits available through the Post 9/11 GI Bill and the Yellow Ribbon Program. Likewise, Universities and colleges have undergone studies examining the effect of iPad technology on the academic experiences on students. This article focuses on research of iPad technology and its influences on the academic preparation experiences of US military and veteran students at Robert Morris University...

The field of evolutionary developmental psychology can potentially broaden the horizons of mainstream evolutionary psychology by combining the principles of Darwinian evolution by natural selection with the study of human development, focusing on the epigenetic effects that occur between humans and their environment in a way that attempts to explain how evolved psychological mechanisms become expressed in the phenotypes of adults.

Show moreThe field of evolutionary developmental psychology can potentially broaden the horizons of mainstream evolutionary psychology by combining the principles of Darwinian evolution by natural selection with the study of human development, focusing on the epigenetic effects that occur between humans and their environment in a way that attempts to explain how evolved psychological mechanisms become expressed in the phenotypes of adults. An evolutionary developmental perspective includes an appreciation of comparative research and we, among others, argue that contrasting the cognition of humans with that of nonhuman primates can provide a framework with which to understand how human cognitive abilities and intelligence evolved. Furthermore, we argue that several «immature» aspects of childhood (e.g., play and immature cognition) serve both as deferred adaptations as well as imparting immediate benefits. Intense selection pressure was surely exerted on childhood over human evolutionary history and, as a result, neglecting to consider the early developmental period of children when studying their later adulthood produces an incomplete picture of the evolved adaptations expressed through human behavior and cognition.

Crisis Communication in Dark Times: The 2011 Mouse River Flood in Minot, North Dakota.

Creator

Christopher L. Atkinson

Abstract/Description
-
Crisis communication is an essential aspect of disaster and crisis management for governments; this is particularly true for local governments, which are first into an event response and last out, and on the front lines of response and recovery. In this article, crisis communication is reviewed generally and then in the context of the 2011 Souris (Mouse) River flood in Minot, North Dakota. Using analysis of primary interview data, I deliberate on the potential that exists for public...
Show moreCrisis communication is an essential aspect of disaster and crisis management for governments; this is particularly true for local governments, which are first into an event response and last out, and on the front lines of response and recovery. In this article, crisis communication is reviewed generally and then in the context of the 2011 Souris (Mouse) River flood in Minot, North Dakota. Using analysis of primary interview data, I deliberate on the potential that exists for public communication to enhance the responsiveness of government in addressing the public’s needs under threat of hazard or disaster. Results and discussion of the analysis are provided. I find that the city learned from the challenges of the flood in a way that suggests improved responses for future events. The case represents an expression of good governance in what have been dark times for the public sector.
