The Cycle of Technology Integration

The cycle of technology integration begins with planning, investigation, and experimentation. Schools go through an initial stage of planning and experimentation in which a few educators begin using technology in new ways. Then, these individuals become technology proponents. The next step in the cycle of technology integration is initial capital investments. This allows the department to determine the value of technology necessary in the schools. The ideal situation would be to have a computer in every classroom and have all of the teachers and students know and understand how to use it and receive a better education due to the technological advancements in the classrooms. After all of the costs are determined, readjustments are made. Technology Integration is a learned process requiring schools to continually re-figure their investments and methods of teaching with technology in schools. It allows the school to know how much money they have and what they will need. After the readjusting process, new work and organizational models are created. Technology integration allows for students to greatly benefit. It allows for collaborative learning to take place with students peers and improves ones performance academically. In the United States today, most schools are currently in the first two stages of the process of technology integration (CEO 2000).

Technology Innovations

Technology Integration can truly only occur once the technology has been created. Film, radio, and the television were a few of the first ever created technologies in the world. In 1920, the first radio was created. This was just the beginning of the technological boom in America, which is quickly growi...

    A few days after the discovery of the bodies, the police department had convinced O.J. to give himself up to them. However, O.J. never showed at the precinct. After some time, police put out an APB on O.J. and his white Ford Bronco. And APB stands for “all point bulletin”. An APB is basically a warning to police officers to look for a certain person or vehicle that is known to be wanted or is of interest to the police department. After the APB had been sent out, Simpsons friend and lawyer read aloud a note found in O.J.’s house. Police took this as a suicide note because of what was stated in the letter. However, later that day, Simpson ...

    The double murder case of O.J. Simpson is one that will live on forever and one that will never be forgotten. On June 12, 1994 Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found dead at Nicole’s home in Los Angeles. According to Doug Linder, it was “most likely a single male that came through the back entrance of Nicole Brown Simpson’s condominium” (Linder). Since they did not have any other suspects they went right to Orenthal James Simpson who was Nicole Simpson’s ex-husband. Law enforcement had seen him as suspicious and they had charged him with both of the murders. The case had gone to trial and it was the prosecutor’s job to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Simpson was guilty and that he had done the crime. Simpson had what was called

    Simpson. The first thing that can be noted is he is a football player and to be a football player one has to be a male. Most football players tend to show signs of aggression, which is an additional characteristic in the case that leads me to believe he violently attacked and killed his wife and one of her good friends. The next important evidence to note was the fact that O.J.’s football glove was found at the scene with blood spatters on it. Even though the agreed to turn himself in, he fled in the white Bronco. If he was not guilty then why did he flee. Even if he was innocent, that was one of the poorest decisions he could have made making him look guilty. What is actually interesting to me is the fact the limousine driver saw a man looking like Simpson at 10:56, when he rang the doorbell at 10:25 the time he was supposed to be there and there was no answer. O.J. had sufficient amount of time to execute his wife and her friends before going in the limo to catch a ride to the airport. The fact the O.J. had a cut on his hand was because Ronald Goldman was fighting for his life trying to escape and wounding Simpson

  • Reasonable Doubts: The Criminal Justice System and the O.J. Simpson Case

    On June 13, 1994, Nicole Brown, ex-wife of O.J. Simpson, was found murdered alongside Ronald Goldman (Dershowitz 19). Chapter one of Reasonable Doubts describes how many people jumped to the conclusion that O.J. carried out the murders. Incriminating evidence emerged that more than pointed to Simpson’s guilt (Dershowitz 21). Soon enough, media reports claimed that Simpson would be charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Simpson’s reluctance to be peacefully taken into custody was illustrated by his famous Los Angeles free-way chase that ended in his eventual surrender (Dershowitz 23). Dershowitz chose to join the defense team when offered the opportunity, claiming that the case could greatly educate people, especially his Harvard law students, on...

    The OJ Simpson criminal investigation was about a legendary football player, OJ Simpson, who was accused of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. There were many things that made him seem guilty of this crime. For example, after the murders, he was involved in a police chase, sitting in the back seat of his white Bronco, holding a gun to his head. There was also evidence that he had been an abusive husband, with photos of Nicole with marks and bruises, as well as a 911 call she made saying he was going to beat her. At the scene, investigators found many examples of forensic evidence, such as OJ’s blood, hair, clothing fibers, DNA, and a size 12 shoe print, which was his shoe size. They also found evidence

    As said before, Fuhrman had a history was racism. Because of this, the jury believed evidence found could not have been planted, contaminated, “mixed or stored together” (Gallagher). The prosecution also presented the case of Simpson domestically abusing Nicole in 1989, six years before the murder case. This introduced a violent past of jealousy and uncontrollable anger. “This was a murder trial, not domestic abuse” (Egan). The biggest issue the jury had with the evidence was the glove. A glove expert said he was 100% sure the glove found at the scene was the same style as ones he had worn previously (Dunne). “It was Fuhrman who found the bloody glove that didn’t fit Simpson, and the defense managed to convince the jury that Simpson didn't commit the murders, because he was framed by a racist cop who didn’t even use the right sized glove” (Downey). The jury did not think there was enough liable evidence to convict Simpson.

  • A Brief Biography Of OJ Simpson

    1058 Words  | 3 Pages

    OJ Simpson, one of football’s most legendary players, was admired and extolled by many sports-lovers from across the nation. From being selected as the number one player in the 1969 draft to being named NFL’s Player of the Year three times, he led a life of success and fame (CNN.com). Yet behind this renowned MVP, there stood a dark side. In June of 1994, Simpson was arrested for allegedly murdering his wife, Nicole Simpson, and family friend, Ronald Goldman. Simpson pleaded not guilty and eventually won his trial, but his reputation and status were far from recovery. In September of 2007, Simpson was once again arrested, this time on grounds of robbery and kidnapping sports memorabilia. Simpson is a fine example to the age old argument that celebrities should not be given special treatment in the court room because at the end of the day, no matter now powerful they might be, they’ve committed a crime and should pay for their wrongdoing.
