A Global Perspective on Schooling

Universities and colleges across the country, as well as the world, have one goal. This goal is to educate citizens to the best of their ability. Although they all have the same objective, each of these schools has a different approach from all the others. One aspect of education that is constantly changing is technology. These changes can occur from school to school, or within a specific school. I have chosen to research and compare the different approaches of several universities from both the United States and throughout the world. This paper discusses the schools I have chosen to research, the variety of majors available at these schools, and how technology is presented in the schools.

The United States is a very diverse country regarding both its people and its education styles. The State University of New York College at Fredonia, University of South Carolina, Utah State University and the University of California Davis are four very different schools within our country. The College of the Bahamas, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, University of Qatar, and Kazan State University are also very diverse schools located throughout the world. Although these schools were chosen to sample techniques used with technology, this is an extremely small sampling of what is available to students all over the world.

SUNY Fredonia, located in Fredonia, NY is a college that offers many degree options and is very culturally diverse. The website itself is somewhat plain, but as we all know from the Penn State website, many things lie hidden within. I believe that I would not have know about many of these things if I hadn’t been a student at Fredonia State at one point. This site has a search engine that allows the user to search for educators, students, degree programs, and student life to name a few.

The University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC has an interesting website that draws the user in. This site, once again, has a search engine and allows the user to choose from several areas of interest. There is also a specific link to Technology Resources that leads to several other technology related issues.

The University of California Davis, in Davis, CA, has a businesslike appearance to its website. Their main objective is to get across the importance of academics. On a secondary page I found a link to Information and Educational Technology. On this page the user will find information on computer rooms, computing accounts, security, technical support and training.

    Although Freud had many theories, as they were brought up, they were disproven. Some noted facts against his theories is that they were based almost completely on a males development then assumed to be equal for females. There is also difficulty in testing. Concepts like libido cannot be measure and vary from person to person which made testing impossible. His predictions of the future were wrong as well as vague. The time gap between a childhood cause was too far away from the adulthood effect. Most importantly all his information was from case studies NOT empirical research and adults NOT children meaning all his research was faulty. What do you believe?

  • Red Panda Research Paper

    646 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Red Panda was previously known to be a part of the Procyonidae family. The Procyonidae family consists of animals like the raccoon, skunk, and weasel. It was then moved to the family with bears, Ursidae, but scientists found that the Red Panda was unique. The Red Panda has its own family, Ailurus. Though the Red Panda has a diet like the Giant Panda, it is very distantly related to it, despite the name. Their diets mainly consist of bamboo, but the Red Panda will occasionally eat fruit, acorns, roots, and eggs. Red Pandas are picky when it comes to eating bamboo, and they only eat the most tender shoots and leaves. Their hands are unique because of the extended wrist bone that they have. With the extended wrist bone, it helps it grab bamboo, and even climb down trees with their face towards the

  • Ailuropoda Melanoleuca, The Giant Panda

    986 Words  | 2 Pages

    The living organism I will be researching on is the Ailuropoda melanoleuca, the Giant panda. The giant panda, a black-and-white bear, has a body typical of bears. It has black fur on ears, eye patches, muzzle, legs, and shoulders. The rest of the animal's coat is white. Their thick, wooly coat helps to keep them warm in their cool mountain homes or forests of its habitat. What do pandas eat? A wild giant panda’s diet consists of other grasses and occasional small rodents or musk deer fawns. Its diet consists almost entirely of the leaves, stems and shoots of various bamboo species. In zoos, giant pandas eat bamboo, sugar cane, rice gruel, a special high-fiber biscuit, carrots, apples, and sweet potatoes (Smithsonian 2004). According to the

  • Curriculum Plan Analysis

    1294 Words  | 3 Pages

    Posner (2004, p. 36) discusses the importance of understanding the situational factors that lead to the development of a particular curriculum. This curriculum has been created as a response to the problem of technology skills and resources being typically isolated as a separate curriculum, rather than being integrated into the broader curricular areas. This leads to curricula that are often devoid of 21st century skills needed by students to ensure future success (Partnership for 21st Century Skills, 2004). The goal of the curriculum, therefore, is to focus on specific technology skills that can be readily integrated into other curricular areas without sacrificing critical objectives within those curricula and, in fact, enhancing the relevance and levels of engagement in those areas.

  • ​​​​Giant Pandas: An Endangered Species

    636 Words  | 2 Pages

    Currently, Giant Pandas are highly endangered with only 1,600 living freely in the wild and roughly 300 living in zoos or breeding centers. This low number of existing pandas means the species has a relatively high risk of becoming extinct. The pandas reside mostly in China around the basin area of Yangtze, which poses a major problem, because this area is currently one of China’s most thriving regions with constant destruction and new development. Therefore, the bears are pushed into small areas without the living conditions they are accustomed to. The pandas are continuously fighting for their lives in result of habitat loss, low reproduction rate, food shortage, and poaching.
