Assume that you are the project director of a small family planning clinic.

Assume that you are the project director of a small family planning clinic. You have just received word that your federal and state funds have been slashed and that the clinic will probably close in 3 months. Although an additional funding source may be found, it is improbable that it will occur within that time period. The board of directors informed you that this knowledge is not to be made public at this time.
You have five full-time employees at the clinic. Because two of these employees are your close friends, you feel some conflict about withholding this information from them. You are aware that another clinic in town currently has job openings and that the positions are generally filled quickly.
DQ: It is important that you staff the clinic for the next 3 months. When will you notify the staff of the clinic’s intent to close? Will you communicate the closing to all staff at the same time? Will you use downward communication? Should the grapevine be used to leak news to employees? When might the grapevine be appropriate to pass on information?
Discussion Protocol. Please observe the following 3 x 3 rule: when writing your weekly discussions: – A minimum of three paragraphs per DQ. Each paragraph should have a minimum of three sentences.
All answers or discussions comments submitted must be in APA
format according to Publication Manual American Psychological Association (APA)
(7th ed.)
Discussions must have a minimum of two references, not
older than 2016.

MEDIA MANAGEMENT PAPER: TikTok/social media as an educational source

Topic: TikTok/social media as an educational source

Main sub-topics:
– Who are the ‘educators’ on these platforms?
– How are these platforms being incorporated into classrooms?
– How are these platforms more effective at educating than traditional forms?
– How much false information is being passed as educational content on these platforms?

Layout:
Introduction
Establish how educators and research endorses social media/TikTok as an educational tool (Alludes to “who are the educators”)
Introduce recent curriculum changes that have invited social media into classrooms (Alludes to “how platforms are being incorporated into classrooms)
Not only are the platforms more entertaining, but briefly site how they are effective at education – nano-learning vs micro-learning; learning about complex subjects like Chemistry via video than traditional lecture, etc. (Alludes to “how these platforms are more effective at educating than tradition”)
Acknowledge the risk of spread of misinformation

Who are the ‘educators’ on these platforms?
Mention how teachers and professors have been joining the platform to engage better with their students and gain more audience.
List out a few examples of teachers who have been using the platforms. @mrstalktechie (An eight grade social studies teacher)
Explain how educators are way beyond high school teachers and professors.
Influencers, beauty gurus, lifestyle gurus, professionals, …
Further elaborate how these types of educators use their personal experience from their daily lives or workplace. As they use their own perspective rather than theory based knowledge.
For example, skin care influencers as they may not be dermatologists they are able to learn from their own experience. They analyze ingredient patterns that might be overlooked. Since these influencers also lived from their own lived experiences of having bad skin, they would oftentimes test out products and analyze what works for them and what didn’t. From there famous skincare influencers would also go beyond testing, to an extent of learning the ingredients and active ingredients and what each active does to the skin. Therefore, they would make content curating products that contain those ingredients while educating viewers from their knowledge regarding those ingredients themselves.
Mention Tiktok creators for this area such as @liahyoo and @skincarebyhyram

How are these platforms being incorporated into classrooms?

“[Educator makes] a TikTok that explains how to do academic citations.” (TikTok: Powerful Teaching Tool or Classroom Management Nightmare?)
“The assignment consisted of producing a full 1-min video and a minimum of 30 s, where the students could choose one or more songs to accompany a choreographic performance telling a story.” (Incorporating TikTok in higher education: Pedagogical perspectives from a corporal expression sport sciences course)
