What do you consider to have been the best part of your high school education experience? What was the worst part? What change(s) would have made things better?

To get started, we’ll begin with a Discussion Forum in response to two (here in our Module Week 9) sources: the article “Why Education Must Change” by Richard Worzel and the Tedtalk “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” by Ken Robinson.
Please read the article, watch the video, and answer the following four questions. Post your response (at least 500 words) to this Discussion Forum 8.
Once you’ve posted, respond to three peers by supporting or rebutting (questioning/opposing/proposing an alternate view to) their ideas…with your own specific examples.
1. Choose one part (direct quotation from/point) of Richard Worzel’s article and focus on it. Why does it stand out? What does it mean? Do you agree or disagree? What example, from your own education experience could be used as support or rebuttal of it?
2. During his Tedtalk, Ken Robinson proposes, “Creativity is as important in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status.” What does he mean? Do you agree or disagree? Why? Has creativity been valued in your own education? If so, when and how so?
3. Also during his Tedtalk, Ken Robinson remarks, “Education is meant to take us into a future that we can’t grasp.” What does he mean? Is this a significant observation? Do you agree or disagree with him? Can you provide an example of how your high school education was or was not a success in preparing you for the future?
4. What do you consider to have been the best part of your high school education experience? What was the worst part? What change(s) would have made things better?

E-Learning Portal
This project aims at creating a Courses portal for a campus/organization. This allows registered users of the system to join a course available in the site and access the materials published for the course. People can register themselves as students of a course or Faculty for a course.
When a person registers himself as a Faculty, an approval mechanism should be triggered which sends an email to the Administrator for approving the person as a Faculty.
There will be an admin approval page where admin can approve the faculty members for the course.
The course home page should contain the title of the course and a brief description. There will be a discussion board for each course where students can interact, an announcement section, which contains the latest announcements, and a course content section which gives the links for the material available for the course.
For faculty members there will be an extra link for uploading the course content in a zip file format. The course content should be html pages, which should be uploaded in the zip file format.

There should be a mechanism for the faculty members to create a test for the course specifying the test title and a set of multiple-choice questions and duration of time of the test.

Literacy Interpertaion

Essay 3 Assignment: Literary Interpretation
George Orwell’s 1984 is a classic dystopian novel that engages with many ideas from the political, social, cultural, and philosophical realms. Although many people associate it with warnings about fascism and communism in the wake of World War II, it has just as much relevance for our contemporary world and the social, political, and economic issues we currently face. Today, authoritarian and totalitarian regimes are sprouting up across the globe. Right-wing extremism in many countries is stoking the embers of fascism. Communism has merged with capitalism in some Asian nations and created systems of vast government-sponsored censorship. The middle class is disappearing and the upper class gains more and more power. A tiny, elite few seem to control everything. The issues that Orwell raises in 1984 have clearly not disappeared. It is your job to explain, in a well-constructed paper, how Orwell’s novel has relevance for our current times. What warnings does it contain that are still warnings we should heed? What ideas does it contain that can either guide us to build a better world or, at very least, help us avoid sliding into a worse one? What might it tell us about events and people in our contemporary world? Connect the themes and ideas of 1984 to the themes and ideas of today and show me that the novel is still important.
I don’t expect you to cover all the possible connections between the novel and our world. Rather, successful papers will focus on one or two major connections and explore them, explaining how the details of the novel compare and contrast with our lived reality and current political, social, and cultural events. Ultimately, you want to make sure you’re showing how 1984 says something important about some element of what’s happening today.
Requirements and Submission
Your essay should be at least 1,000 words long, though well-developed responses may be much longer. It should have an introduction (with a thesis) and a conclusion. In the body, you should present a clear interpretation of the novel that explains at least one of Orwell’s main ideas and analyzes its relevance to our contemporary world and culture. You should draw on our other course readings to develop your explanation and analysis. A strong essay will be deep rather than broad in its analysis, focusing on just a few main points and presenting a pattern of evidence (multiple examples) to support them.
Your essay should be typed and formatted according to MLA guidelines. You should include at least three direct quotations in proper MLA citation (including at least one block quotation), and you must include an MLA works cited entry for every source that you cite. See our online resource, Purdue Online Writing Lab, for assistance.

FiredUP

FiredUp, Inc. is a small business owned by Curt and Julie Robards. Based in Brisbane, Australia, FiredUp manufacturers and sells FiredNow, a lightweight camping stove. Curt used his previous experience as an aerospace engineer to invent a burning nozzle that enables the stove to stay lit in very high winds. Using her industrial-design training, Julie designed the stove so that it is small, lightweight, easy to set up, and very stable. Curt and Julie sell the stove directly to their customers over the Internet and via phone. The warranty on the stove covers five years of cost-free repair for stoves used for recreational purposes.
FiredUp wants to track every stove and the customer who purchased it. They want to know which customers own which stoves, in case they need to notify customers of safety problems or need to order a stove recall. Curt and Julie also want to keep track of any repairs they have performed.
Name and describe tables of data that FiredUp will need. Indicate possible fields for each table.

Could FiredUp use a spreadsheet to keep track of this data? What would be the advantages and disadvantages of doing so?
