Educators should be familiar with the materials used within the classroom to provide students with scientific learning opportunities. Often, the teacher needs supplemental materials to provide rich, hands-on learning experiences.This week you will write a 500-750 word letter to a principal requesting developmentally appropriate classroom resources for science instruction in a pre-K-3 classroom. Some ideas for this assignment may be a subscription to Brainpopjr or Mystery Science. NASA may also have some good ideas. https://www.nasa.gov/stem/foreducators/k-12/index.htmlInclude the following in your letter:A rationale for using grade appropriate classroom resources, particularly technology, in early childhood science instruction to meet the needs of students and strengthen the learning environment.A list of three developmentally appropriate classroom resources. At least one requested resource must be a technology that is interactive and can extend the possibilities for learning. For each resource include an explanation of the following:How the resource facilitates scientific exploration and develops curiosity of students in the intended age rangeHow the resource helps engage students with different learning styles or preferences or who come from diverse backgroundsHow to obtain the resource and its approximate costVisuals may be used within this list to clarify materials.Support your letter with at least three scholarly resources.Watch “Materials to Support Learning,” located on the ECLKC website (2018).https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/video/materials-support-learningRead “Preschool Science Environment: What is Available in a Preschool Classroom?” by Tu, from Early Childhood Education Journal (2006). https://lopes.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=ehh&AN=21139544&site=eds-live&scope=site *username Bross10 password bross Collegelife4u2b4Read “Technology and Interactive Media as Tools in Early Childhood Programs Serving Children from Birth through Age 8,” located on the NAEYC website (2012).https://www.naeyc.org/sites/default/files/globally-shared/downloads/PDFs/resources/topics/PS_technology_WEB.pdf

Scenario: This organization has an IPv4-based infrastructure using a Windows 2008 server-based structure. There is a generic shared drive that has turned into a “virtual dumping ground” for files used across departments. Accounting department users do not have access to sales department folders, so this shared folder is the solution for cross-department collaboration. There are many important files that cannot be deleted, but this shared drive is causing a problem.Based on the above scenario, develop a plan to upgrade the existing network to IPv6 and to upgrade the existing server structure, as well. You must outline the reasons for upgrading both the server and infrastructure and describe the potential risks of doing so. You must also find a sustainable and collaborative solution to eliminate the dependency on the shared drive.Your well-written paper must be 2 single spaced pages in length. Include at least three scholarly references, peer reviewed.

For this discussion topic, we will practice another skill needed in professional writing -- composing an email message to an employee using proper tone and professionalism. Before you start, you will want to read the following.  These readings are provided for you in Content for week 4. Scenario: Anderson College (Part I) Jay Williams' Ineffective Instructions D.A. Jameson, "Management consulting and teaching: Lessons learned teaching professionals to control tone in writing video -- "Using a Holistic Approach to Writing Business Emails" After reading the scenario, the set of instructions written by Jay Williams, and the Jameson article, please complete the following: Imagine that you are Dr. Richard Johnson, Dean of the Undergraduate School at Anderson College.   You will write an email message to Jay Williams, the student worker, informing him that his instructions are not suitable to be distributed to the students and faculty at Anderson College. Keep in mind the Jameson article.  You want to maintain proper tone and professionalism.  While the instructions that Jay wrote are not professional and would be embarrassing to send to the students and faculty members, you do not want to seem unprofessional in your message to Jay.  In addition, he is a student worker. You don't want to overly criticize him in your message.
