Foreword he advancement and changing landscape of technology has impacted the lives of individuals with disabilities, enabling them to lead Tfuller and richer lives. The Connecticut Assistive Technology Guidelines were released in 2013. Since its publication, there have been significant changes in the availability of technology tools and resources that can improve educational outcomes for students with disabilities. The reason for the update is to ensure that current information is identified and websites in the document are brought up to date. Fortunately, current aspects of assistive technology (AT) are no longer “different” and fall within the realm of universal design for learning (UDL). In particular, students with disabilities are able to access high-tech AT such as smartphones and tablets of all types in order to perform a variety of functions designed for anyone without stigmatization or prejudice, which can be used to enhance teaching and learning experiences. As well, wireless mobile and smart home technologies (e.g., Google Home, Amazon Echo, text-to-speech software, etc.) promote self-reliance and enable young adults with disabilities to be as independent as possible within their limitations. However, technology by itself or just providing students with devices does not improve outcomes and make learning more effective. For students with disabilities, the human interface remains the most important aspect for educators to implement AT with fidelity for students with disabilities. As new technology and apps emerge at such a rapid pace, it is important now more than ever for viii | Connecticut Assistive Technology Guidelines FOREWORD educators to understand that technology is not an end in itself but rather a tool, which leads to new approaches to teaching and learning. Educators who embrace the potential of technology discover an innovative set of tools and applications that can better serve them and all of their students. Technology offers educators, students, and their families more choice and voice. They have more options than ever before to accommodate different needs and types of learning, to demonstrate that learning, and provide connections to share information and partner in learning. By having more educational supports, tools, and devices at their disposal, students with and without disabilities may feel a greater sense of purpose and ownership in their learning and education in general—allowing opportunities to tap the potential they possess for success.

  • Sometimes Shocking but Always Hilarious
    The Sound of Hammers Must Never Cease: The Collected Short Stories of Tim Fulmer Party Crasher Press ©2009, 2010, 2014, Tim Fulmer. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording or otherwise, without the prior written permission of Tim Fulmer. This book is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental and perhaps the result of a psychotic breakdown on the reader’s part. This definitive collection of Tim Fulmer’s highly entertaining short work includes an introduction by the author and sixty-one stories that chronicle the restless lives of what have been called Gen X and Gen Y. From the psychotic disillusionment of inner city life in “Chicago, Sir" and “Mogz & Peeting” to the shocking and disturbing discoveries of suburban dysfunction in “It’s Pleonexia” and “Yankee Sierra,” Tim Fulmer tells us everything we need to know about growing up and living in North America after 1967. His characters are very scary people -- people with too much education, too much time on their hands, and too much insight ever to hold down a real job long enough to buy a house and support a family -- in short, people just like how you and I ought to be all the time. These are stories of concealed poets, enemies of the people, awful bony hands, pink pills, sharp inner pains, Jersey barriers, and exquisite corpses. The language throughout is unadorned, accurate, highly crafted, ecstatic, even grammatically desperate.

Mocktails + Mastery, however, is not your standard recipe book. This is a book that intends to challenge Australian drinking culture. It intends to give permission to the people who choose not to drink to stand by their choices; it intends to offer a helping hand to the people who would like to change their drinking habits; and it intends to extend an invitation to the people who are happy with their drinking habits but who want to share enriched experiences with loved ones who don’t drink.

  • An Environmental and Cost Comparison Between Polypropylene Plastic Drinking Straws and a “Greener” Alternative an Oberlin Case Study
    An environmental and cost comparison between polypropylene plastic drinking straws and a “greener” alternative An Oberlin case study Madeline Moran May 9, 2018 Abstract Plastic straws are one of the most abundant items found in oceans and coastal cleanups around the United States and internationally. Plastic does not decompose over time, so all the plastic we have ever made is still around, affecting every ecosystem on the planet. Drinking straws are made of 100% recyclable material, but because of their small size most recycling plants are not able to process them so they are sent to landfills. Petroleum-based plastic production is also a large source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making up 1- 3% of the United States’ carbon emissions alone. By considering green alternatives to PP drinking straws, we can see if there actually are affordable alternatives that can help reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions. This case study focuses on the Feve, a restaurant in the City of Oberlin, and aims to understand the cultural significance of drinking straws in town, and uses that information to suggest ways of changing straw distribution behavior and minimize plastic waste. This study also compares the environmental and financial costs of the Feve using petroleum-based polypropylene (PP) drinking straws versus “greener” alternatives by constructing a modified life cycle analysis to determine if switching to biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) plastic drinking straws decreases the Feve’s carbon and plastic waste footprint. By tracing GHG emissions created in the production of plastic resins, transportation of materials and products, and disposal of plastic straws, I compare the carbon footprint of three products to see if one is better for the environment than the others.

    Positive Values The Aims of the Boys Scouts of America are to develop character, citizenship, and personal fitness (including mental, spiritual, and physical fitness) in today’s youth. All activities – including den, pack, troop or crew meeting programs, adult training events or committee meetings, camp programs and campfire programs contribute to the aims of Scouting. Every Scouting activity should be a positive experience in which youth and leaders feel emotionally secure and find support from their peers and leaders. Everything we do with our Scouts - including songs, skits, and ceremonies - should be positive, meaningful, and should not contradict the philosophy expressed in the the Cub Scout Promise and the Law of the Pack. Remember to: Reinforce the values of Scouting Get the whole group involved Make everyone feel good Be positive Everything should be meaningful Teach the ideals and goals of Scouting Use age appropriate activities Guidelines To Determine Appropriate Scouting Activities Cheers, songs, skits, stories, games exclusionary to the audience. and ceremonies should build self- esteem and be age appropriate.
