Thesis-  Abolition of slavery, done so in different ways over the years



Outline-
- technology differences-

Printing press v. Twitter and Facebook
- They  cause the same type of change just in a different speed, and a different way.
- Printing press evolved into things such as conferences, and protesting.
- It has now evolved into a simple social statement. Things like tweeting, wearing a Tshirt, or liking something on facebook.





This speech seemed less professional due to the fact that it had a lack of "liable" sources. She referenced things like twitter, and facebook. Which are tools that less reliable, and more casual to todays generations

- This will push us towards more reliable sources, and research
- this piece was more compare and contrast then anything else.

---The research paper----

this is an ongoing conversation between writers and readers

what does the word problem mean to researchers?

- not the same kinds of problems from the past

Pick a topic that interests you

start gathering information- articlces, journals, online database

A broad topic

- occupy the pages of encyclopedias

-if you can state your topic in four or five words, it is too broad

Narrower-- more important

- patterens, gaps, and puzzles show under the surface

moving from broad to narrow

do so by using descriptive words that indicate a relationship

Name your topic----- I am learning about or working on____________ ( Technology  in the globalization of education)

I am studying blank_____ (TGE) because I want to find out ________ why there is a current replacement or upgrade of the traditional classroom. 

why is your topic area important to anyone other than you?

This topic will not just effect future classrooms, but the Jobs in which these classrooms are preparing  this generation for. 

This will affect the current student generation, and the current work force.

The history of technology replacing human Jobs

EXAMPLE Broad-Narrow

Free will in Tolstoy

There is free will with in his novels

History of commercial avaition

Commercial aviation has a history

The conflict of free will and the tolstoys description of the three wars

High school v College

College

 Falls short if a researcher asks no specific questions

If there is no question, then he can not offer a specific  answer worth supporting

with out a answer or question to support  she cannot select  from  the data that is relevant  

Formulate questions that point you to data

WHO,WHAT,WHAT,WHERE,WHEN,WHY

Start with the basics, write down the questions you find in your research, do not stop to answer them

how does this fit into a larger developmental context?

Why did your topic come into being?

SYSTEM DIAGRAMS- allows you to figure out what the connections are

What about its own internal history? how did this come about?.

Formulate three questions? write them down!

Think about the impact of the academic disciplines?

-- branch of Knowledge--- Majors!

What other areas does this affect?

 What is the historic bias?

What is the scope of the problem?

thinking about how your topic or your questions fit into a larger structure???

 how do the parts fit together to make a system?

 how can your topic be grouped into kinds?

what if?

Avoid fallowing questions

do not ask questions that are already answered!

- their answers are settled

- their answer would be merely speculative ( what if the moon was made of green cheese?)

-the answers are dead ends or  irrelevant 

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO ANYONE ELSE!?

-Consumers, the people involved, the economic supporters  ( sponsors) , celebrities ( endorsements) 

what will be lost if you don't answer your question?

How will not answering it keep us form understanding something else better than we do?

this last week
 time spent
spring break plan



With in this last week I have spent the majority of my time in three buildings; the library, Roger Bacon, and Siena hall. In a way have formed a type of rotation, First I start out at the library studying once that gets too loud, or I can concentrate  I move over to Siena Hall. I spend my time studying there until either all of my friends show up, or it gets too creepy to remain with in the building. After one of the two options happen, I move over to Roger Bacon where I set up shop. I buckle down, and get my work done for the night. I have spent  the majority of my time either studying or sleeping, I feel like this is a healthy combination. Over spring break I plan on getting a head start, or getting some class projects done. For FYSM itself, I plan on finishing both of the books, then writing the paper. After this I would like to finish my English research paper, then get a head start on my psychology, and Religion mid terms. Some where in between all of this I plan on working at my father's office, and finishing up the filing for the year. When looking at the big picture I feel like I have bit off more than I can chew, but I have faith that if I manage my time well enough I can get it all done.

both sides can be right
playing pro social- helps... increased behaviors
violent- improving tension skills
desentivestion
attention problems--- addictions, same side affects as an addict of alcohol or drugs


 The research with in this document show that from both sides, someone can form a very strong argument. This states that video games help, and also hurt childerens' developemental problems. Video games can lead to progress in  areas such as social developement, but  hurt other areas at the same time. The reasearch with in this project was contrusted very well. It went in depth about both perspectives, along with comparing that information to studies outside of this country. With this information they were able to  diagnose a clinical problem- video game addiction.

 The best cookie I  have ever had. It is hard to narrow it down to just one, seeing as I have had a lot of amazing cookies in my life time. If I was able to narrow it down to one, I would start to analyze it in steps. First, deciding what about it makes it so amazing, the extra pieces?,  the type of cookie itself?, or who made it?. From there I would decided what makes it not so amazing, there must be  bad, to make something good. After setting apart he good, and bad, I would then take in to account how the cookie was made; the recipe, if it was fallowed. Then I would analyze how it was cooked; over cooked, under cooked, or just right.

The best piece of research I have ever read, was very recent. As a class we had been given an assignment to find to current events having to do with our learning groups. At the time I was in the technology and medicine learning group. I had been in touch with an older student here at Siena that had been telling me about her work with the  St. Judes program. I remembered that she mentioned something about a break through with cancer treatment. I then turned to the internet to find the article that she had been talking about. I consider this the best piece of research I have ever read not just because of the topic, but the content itself. The article thoroughly explained what their goals were, what they had achieved, what they need to achieve, and how they are doing so. The author had done this all in a very organized fashion.

- introductions of siena students....uploading on to paper.li?--- pick one person and connect on facebook chat!
