How to Create a Small Business, Website, and New Career
No full textThis project focuses on combining computer science, business, and graphic design skills to create a website that is useful to first-time business owners. This includes the creation of a small business and a website used to document and address the steps and procedures necessary for opening a small business. Each step was carefully recorded in a “how-to” style, so that anyone interested in opening a business can follow the same procedures. The website contains a combination of text boxes, images, links, and videos (linked to YouTube) used to demonstrate and explain the tedious pieces involved in opening a new business. The website was created using Visual Studio Code, basic HTML and CSS, and Microsoft Azure web services. The goal was to design a website that is visually pleasing and inviting, while also allowing for ease of accessibility and navigation. The processes involved in completing this project included many hours working on the site setup and meeting with the local Small Business Development Center. The ultimate outcome of this project included a small graphic design business and a website detailing the procedures associated with creating a small business—thus, creating a useful resource for those looking to follow this project’s example and open a new business of their own
Mathematics Manipulatives and Instructional Aids: A Resource Guide
No full textThis resource guide examines the use of manipulatives and other instructional aids in supporting student learning. It provides both concrete and virtual manipulatives for teachers and parents as well as ideas for activities that they can be used for. These resources can assist teachers who may be looking to incorporate the use of manipulatives into their curriculums or parents who want to start using them at home. The guide is divided into multiple categories: research, resources, and activities. The guide includes research on the benefits of instructional aids as well as a section providing opposing viewpoints and opinions on this topic. There is also information about beginning to incorporate these manipulatives in the classroom. Links are provided if parents or teachers would like to read more about these topics. The resources section offers links to and descriptions of both concrete and virtual aid options. The activities section highlights activities and games for each manipulative and how they can be beneficial to students. It is my hope that both parents and teachers will benefit from this project by learning about the different variations and uses of manipulatives in the classroom and at home

Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat- Churchill and Winning the Second World War
No full textWinston Churchill led Great Britain through some of the worst events of its existence throughout World War II. Specifically in 1940 and 1941, events such as the Narvik invasion, Dunkirk evacuation, Fall of France, and Blitz on London continuously decimated the British. Faced with unending adversity, Winston Churchill used his words to spin numerous negative events into a slight positive by finding silver linings in each event. Churchill remained confident and spoke with authority during these tough times, always inspiring the British to continue fighting. This project examines the speeches and other methods used by Churchill to respond to negative events in 1940 and 1941 to keep the British motivated in extremely tough times
Pixels or Pencils: Rethinking the Role of Computers in Elementary Education
No full textThis paper challenges the misconception that the mere presence of technology mandates its obligatory use. Examining external influences, such as major tech companies, societal pressures, and the COVID-19 pandemic, reveals a context-dependent impact of technology in American schools, often moderate rather than revolutionary. Educators must decide whether to prioritize technology over traditional methods with similar learning outcomes. Recognizing that elementary schooling extends beyond content delivery to essential social skills underscores the importance of human interaction for cognitive development. To navigate the complex edtech landscape, providing preservice teachers with evidence-based technology integration training is crucial. Ongoing discussions and research on edtech effectiveness are vital, empowering educators to adapt in the face of evolving technology
