Castro, J. (2012, September 4). Julian Castro DNC speech [Video file]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jx3m7jk1CY. Julian Castro, San Antonio’s former mayor and current Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in President Obama’s Cabinet, made a keynote address at the 2012 Democratic Convention in Charlotte, NC. He emphasized the importance of education in his own journey; he and his brother grew up with their mother and grandmother, an immigrant to the U.S. who had only a fourth-grade education. America, he notes, is a place of opportunity, but we have to provide the resources for achieving the American dream, and education is the foundation for this upward mobility. He talks about some initiatives in San Antonio, like Pre-K for SA and Café College (Castro, 2012). Therefore, I think that this speech will help me to support the claim that this city is looking to find ways to give students, especially those in low-income areas, more educational opportunities. I find this source credible given Castro’s efforts to improve educational opportunities, particularly for poor and minority constituents, during his tenure as San Antonio’s mayor. Catalano, F. (2013, October 9). Tech happens: When tablets and schools don’t mix. GeekWire. Retrieved from http://www.geekwire.com/2013/tech-tablets-schools-mix/. UNIT 6 ASSIGNMENT 3 Catalano’s GeekWire column raises a number of challenges that I will need to consider as I develop my proposal to issue tablets to all students in the San Antonio Independent School District. He discusses a couple of high-profile failures of such initiatives in Los Angeles and North Carolina, one caused by students “hacking” into their tablets and accessing non-approved sites and the other caused by hardware malfunctions. He also makes a truly important point about the need to implement technology thoughtfully; schools cannot just throw devices at students and expect better academic performance (Catalano, 2013). I find this source credible because GeekWire is a respected source of technology information, Catalano is a regular contributor, and he has worked in the EdTech industry. The source will be valuable because it poses specific challenges I will need to address in my essay. The district must decide what tablets to use, what students can (and cannot) access on them, and how they will be integrated into courses. Otherwise, the district is just spending a lot of money to look like it is leaving no student behind in our tech-oriented society. Kidd, T. T. & Chen, I. (Eds.). (2011). Ubiquitous learning: Strategies for pedagogy, course design, and technology. Charlotte, NC: Information Age Publishing. Retrieved from EBSCOhost. This collection of essays edited by two college professors was published in 2011 by Information Age Publishing, which seems like an appropriate publishing firm for a book that focuses on technology’s uses for education. This is an academic and scholarly publishing company according to their website, which also notes their focus on “innovation in publishing research in education, management, & psychology” (Information Age Publishing, n.d.). The book includes 17 chapters about various ways that educators can use technology, some of which would be more helpful to my project than others. A lot of the chapters use the term “ubiquitous UNIT 6 ASSIGNMENT 4 learning,” which the preface describes as learning that happens anywhere and all the time thanks to our access to technology (Kidd & Chen, 2011). The editors believe that technology offers educators many ways to engage students and provide new opportunities for learning, and the contributors base their arguments on pedagogical theories like constructivism, which I learned about in my education course last term. I believe the book will have helpful information for my project, although it may be more oriented towards higher education and online learning as opposed to technology-supplemented secondary education. Weber, P.J. (2014, January 4). Texas library offers glimpse of bookless future. USA Today. Retrieved from http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/01/04/san-antoniobookless-public-library/4310655/. Weber’s article about the first all-digital library in San Antonio, TX, describes the benefits of using technology to broaden access to books and increase literacy. The piece describes how the library works, the cost benefits of the all-digital library compared to a traditional one, and the positive response of patrons (Weber, 2014). The article is credible because it is in a nationally published newspaper, and the author interviewed not only people who work in the library but librarians in other parts of the country who are interested in imitating this model. This will be helpful for my final project because it is about the success of a San Antonio technology initiative and notes that the library has had no problems with the patrons (including many local high school students) returning the iPads. I am guessing that fears of theft and damage would be a considerable challenge to my argument, and evidence from this article could help to allay those fears.

They can, therefore, not access healthcare services yet the United States of America spend the highest HEALTH INSURANCE 2 amount of its Gross domestic product on healthcare as compared to other industrialized countries. The figure amounts to about 18% of the nonelderly population who are uninsured (Kaiser Family Foundation (2012b). The council of economic advisers further projects this figure to increase to 72 million by 2040 if no reforms are put in place. The lack of access to health care has created a lot of problems to these populations and affected their overall well-being (Dealton, A. (2008). The effects of not having access to insurance coverage and the relationship between insurance cover and health care costs will be paramount in evaluating the overall well-being of the affected citizens. The appeals of logos, ethos, and pathos are important in showing the impact of inaccessibility to healthcare on the population. Lack of health insurance coverage compounded with rising health care costs eventually leads to a limited access to health care. These affect the health of these individuals. Health is the biggest indicator of an individual’s well-being; therefore, lack of good health affects their well-being (Abdel-khalek, A. (2006). The uninsured population is unlikely to benefit from preventive health care and other services for chronic diseases hence they may suffer serious health and financial consequences. The majority of the uninsured population is composed of the low-income individuals who cannot afford insurance cover. There are major factors that determine the well-being of individuals as far as health insurance and access to health care are concerned. To determine well-being, regression studies are used, and the comparison factor is the recently adopted legislation the patient protection and affordable care act that aims to reduce the number of people uninsured by 50% (Kaiser Family Foundation (2012b). Based on the thesis statement the argument correctly fits in the Toulmin model. Its main assumptions that the well-being of individuals is pegged on their health status and d that the low- HEALTH INSURANCE 3 income individuals cannot afford to pay for insurance cover. As noted above, bridging the gap between the insured and the uninsured population should be a matter of priority for the government as the numbers are likely to keep swelling. The high uninsured rates and the growing costs of healthcare make the quality of healthcare less affordable and inaccessible to the minority and low-income groups. Quick steps should be undertaken to ensure that proper mechanisms are put in place to check on this growing numbers of the uninsured. The overall effect will be the improvement of their lifestyles and well-being (Dealton, A. (2008). Anecdotal and other cause and effect fallacies will be the major things to avoid. While there is enough research to show the growing numbers of the uninsured and their well-being, there needs to be a more proactive approach by politicians to stop this growing numbers (Abdel-khalek, A. (2006). References HEALTH INSURANCE 4 Abdel-khalek, A. (2006). Happiness, health, and religiosity: Significant relations. Mental Health, Religion & Culture, 9(1), 85-97 Dealton, A. (2008).
