ONE CHILD ONLY POLICY IN CHINA : NINOS ENCONTRANDO NINOS Y PADRES!(VERSION 2)
It is common knowledge that most students find it much easier to read a book with pictures. This is a multiple symbol system and quite a few researchers have examined the cognitive effects of pictures and text.
A Notes Page act as a script for the PowerPoint presentation. The information on each of the slide is written out in more detail and this helps to formulate thoughts. As much text as can fit on one page is entered in each Notes Page. Short quotations may be used for humor which adds a transition.

Parents and teachers must not be afraid to use the vast potential of the Internet. They must be educated about the risks and benefits of surfing the Net. Some kids become endangered on-line if they are not taught the rules of "driving" on the electronic "SuperHighway". It is necessary to enhance and improve in a unit by using PowerPoint slides as visuals.
In this project most of the instruction is in the visual mode. Visual literacy will be enhanced. Instruction in the classroom should not be confined to verbal literacy, but should not be confined to visual literacy. Heimich, Molenda and Russel (1982, p. 11) describes visual literacy as the "learned ability to interpret visual messages accurately and to create such messages."
Adams and Hamm (1989, p. 26) state that "visual literacy may have become more electronic; but from cave drawings to medieval cathedrals to children's books illustrations it has been a major communication medium." These writers also claim that teaching using visual aids helps students to focus on lessons, retain information and improve psychomotor skills. It adds interest to the class, enhances student involvement and promotes visual thinking and recall.
It is common knowledge that most students find it much easier to read a book with pictures. This is a multiple symbol system and quite a few researchers have examined the cognitive effects of pictures and text. Kozma studied works by Pressley, Schallert, Levie and Lants and found (p. 183) that the use of pictures with text increase recall, especially in poor readers. These kinds of results imply that, for some learners, the pictorial symbol systems have more meaning than the corresponding linguistic symbol system.
Pavio's integrated dual-code hypothesis is, "the ability of learners to build both visual and verbal models of mental representations as well as connections between them," (Pavio, quoted Mayer and Anderson 1991, p.484). Mayer in 1989 and again Mayer and Gallini in 1990 examined this hypothesis. The results of these experiments showed that in order to effectively understand scientific explanations there must be a mapping between words and pictures. When verbal and visual explanations were presented together in a co-ordinated way, the creative problem-solving abilities of students were better than when separate verbal and visual explanations were used. In another experiment, Mayer and Gallini (1991) found that when narrations were given before animation, the results on problem-solving were not as good as those students who were exposed to narration with animation. Thus, their findings support Pavio's dual-coding hypothesis.
Storey and Howe (1989) did a study on the effects of visual and verbal modes of presentation on children's retention of images and words and found that their findings supported Pavio's dual-coding hypothesis. They found firstly, that both treatment groups (ie. those who were presented with visual and those with visual-verbal information) represented more information in pictorial than in verbal form.A Notes Page act as a script for the presentation. The information on each of the slide is written out in more detail and this helps to formulate thoughts. As much text as can fit on one page is entered in each Notes Page. Short quotations may be used for humor which adds a transition.

PowerPoint slides and images used as visuals enhance interest and learning about the content of this multi-faceted thematic unit. In this project you will be given several Powerpoint slides and asked to use the "Notes Page" View of each slide and design and type a summary page based on several slides of a presentation.
LESSON CONTENT MATERIAL.
SECURITY
Allowing for access to shared data raises the problem of security. Before putting information on a network, decisions must be made as to who will have access to what data and the level of security required. Adequate security controls must be implemented in the network software. If the network is accesible through a dial-up connection or the Internet, security concerns are multiplied. Security "firewalls" can be set up in which a single computer is directly connected to the Internet. Files are transferred between the Internet computer and network under tight security control.
Not all threats to network security come from outside the organization. Procedures must be in place to protect data from theft or damage by disgruntled or terminated employees. Employees may bring in illegal copies of software and install them on their workstations, possibly making them available for others to copy. A company may then be held liable for software piracy.
THE TARGET GROUP-CONCERNED ADULTS WHO ARE COMPUTER-SAVVY AND A KNOWLEDGE OF THE USE THE SOFTWARE PowerPoint, E-MAIL, THE INTERNET, WORDPROCESSING AND CREATIVE-WRITING IS NECESSARY.
PARENTS.
TEACHERS.
ADULT STUDENTS.
A TECHNOLOGY PLAN.
Adult students who are already proficient in using the software PowerPoint and who are experienced computer users will work on-line and participate in developing the NotesPage portion of a PowerPoint presentation prepared by the teacher. A unit of study designed by the teacher on the theme "Upgrading your computer networking hardware, software and networked peripherals such as the printer, the learning environment, in order to minimize hazards associated with computer usage". A diskette with the content material and the PowerPoint slides will also be mailed to each student by e-mail.
Students' interest will increase with the use of these PowerPoint slides and images which are visuals; memory will be enhanced and teaching becomes effective. The teacher functions as a facilitator responding to questions by e-mail. Each week lecture, assignments, readings, and links to related World Wide Web sites will be posted. Students can access course-work materials at any time, 24 hours per day. Technical assistance will be available via the telephone and e-mail.
OBJECTIVES OF THE Project.
To enhance interest in the unit with the use of images.
To enhance literacy.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THE UNIT.
At the end of this curriculum unit the student will:
(1) Be able to write texts from graphics.
(2) Appreciate the use of audio-visuals and Powerpoint slides in enhancing interest in this unit.
(3) Verbalize their understanding of the curriculum content mastered with the use of this technology.
(5) To use these skills to acquire income by working for themselves or searching for a job.
This is an educational project...
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS!...USING POWERPOINT SLIDES AND IMAGES TO TEACH.
This is an integrated customized unit based on Upgrading your networking hardware, software, information system, telecommunications networks and applications, computer security issues, privacy issues, and ethical issues in information systems.
Integrating technology into your classroom is fun and easy. Microsoft 2000is a valuable tool software package for teachers. Computers are a great asset to students with disabilities. All students must have equal access.
INTRODUCTION.
In the USA, "individulized" or learner-centered instruction should be promoted and this is the reason why I chose this method. Competition should be promoted too. The increasingly "friendly" nature of most computer software packages on the market make it easy for students to maintain their interest and if students are already computer-literate they will be even more anxious to learn by this method. The computer is a wonderful tool. A change in attitude can be observed as students use this tool. Students can slowly climb the literacy ladder with the assistance of technology.

READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT AND THINK ABOUT A GRAPHICAL PRESENTATION.
GOOD-BYE UNTIL WE TALK ON-LINE AGAIN.
Study the paragraph below and think of different images that can be used to make Powerpoint slides for a presentation on the content material.
Sample Readings
An eclectic approach to teaching!...Say this in images!
Confucius, a Chinese philosopher taught that teachers should use different teaching methods to match the learning styles of students. In China, teacher presentation is the primary teaching method used today.
Cooperative learning as a teaching method has a special meaning for today's Chinese teenagers and children. In 1975 China adopted a one-child per family policy as a birth control measure in order to check on the fast growing population.
As Yang (1994) stated " the only child has strong intention of egoism. Such an "only-child" may not know how to cooperate with their peers at school. Cooperative learning should be encouraged in China in order to prepare them for a successful life in the future. For Mao Tse-tung, education was a comprehensive process that was ideologically connected to the political and economic goals of the society he envisioned. The school system that Mao Tse-tung helped to create in the People's Republic of China emphasized the relationship between politics and education. School is indeed a miniature society.
BOYS AND GIRLS COOPERATE TO LEARN AND LEARN TO COOPERATE!

Remember that there are two distinct functions involving words in desktop publishing:writing, or composing the words themselves,
and layout, or arranging the words on the page.
With some desktop publishing programs one can type text in a Text Block and then select and rotate the entire Block to a specified degree. Another option is to create the rotated text in a graphics program and then import it as a graphic.
CONTORED TEXT.
Placing text in some overall shape is a much more limited special effect than a rotated text. In some situations, the impact of contored text can be very dramatic!
