¶ … developmental level of the children determine what types of charts are best suited for examining the data they have collected.
According to Houghton Milton children in second grade are already familiar with data gathering and in the first grade learn how to gather data and organize that data into what are known as 'tally charts'. After children have learned how to data gather and organize data from such surveys into these types of charts they go on to learn how to conduct data analysis and data comparison at levels that are more advanced. Further children are then ready to use more advanced comparison of data. The use of tally charts can be followed by the use of pictographs which involves "looking at the key to see how many of a given item each picture stands for." (Houghton Miflin,2014, p. 1) Once having learned how to work with pictographs the students are ready to learn how to work with bar graphs. Pictographs are described as a "semi-concrete way of representing data" and bar graphs are stated to be 'more abstract" since the bar graphs "use colored bars on a grid with corresponding numbers to represent how many are in each group." (Houghton Mifflin, 2014, p. 1)
(2) Describe a scenario in which children are encouraged to use a variety of charts and graphs to display gathered data.
Children are reported to learn to "make and analyze their own bar graphs based on data given to them in a tally chart or a table." (Houghton Miflin, 2014, p. 1) The tally chart and table assist the children in seeing that data may be displayed differentially. (Houghton Miflin, 2014, p. 1, paraphrased) Additionally reported...
Line plots organize numerical data along a number line. Examples of numerical data that children might deal with at this level are the shoe sizes of a group of children, the number of siblings or pets of a group of children, and the points scored in a game by a group of children. The numerical categories in the left column of the tally chart are the same as the numbers displayed along the number line of the line plot. For each tally in the chart, one X is placed above the corresponding number on the line plot. So for a survey of the number of siblings that a group of children have, the tally chart might have the categories zero through four, representing children with zero to four brothers and sisters. You may wish to adjust the numbers for those with more than 4 siblings or label the last category 4 or more. The number line on the line plot would also run from zero to four. The number of students who have no brothers or sisters would be recorded as tallies in that row of the chart and as X's above the zero on the line plot." (Houghton Miflin, 2014, p. 1)
(3) Using a website of your choice, search for a picture book that is developmentally appropriate, create three science centers, and be prepared to share the website and the centers. Discuss how these centers will enhance the necessary skills.

The printing press is a subject of the evolution of technology and has existed for over five hundred years (Eisenstein, 2007, p 87). Looking back into the way the printing press functioned at the inception is an environment characterized by intensive labor and collaboration of efforts to bring to birth probably one of the most significant sources of information existing in the present age (Eisenstein, 2007, p 102).

Information Technology One of the main sources of development of human beings is through the development of knowledge and in this exercise; we shall be talking about a group in our society who are mainly interested in the development of knowledge -- a university. In these organizations also, information technology now plays an important role as the storage and transfer of knowledge within the organizations and from outside the organization. In
Warfare: An Overview In today's age, traditional warfare, though a major player as we see in the Iraq war, has in some arenas taken a back seat to information warfare. By definition, information warfare is the offensive and even defensive utilization of information and information systems to deny, exploit, corrupt or destroy an adversary's information, information-based processes, information systems and computer-based networks while protecting one's own. Parties use information warfare to
Professional Development Seminar Curriculum development as an industry consists of curriculum concept, development, application (that is, direction), and assessment. Conventional, conceptual-empiricist, and reconceptualise are theoretical structures that regulate particular strategies to curriculum problems. Each of these structures can be distinguished by the dominant and subordinate presumptions that regulate the understanding and values which underscore their particular modes of questions. In this paper, we will construct content for professional development seminar where
Leading Change" was the topic of discussion for the seminar delivered Dr. Saad Al-Barrak, the esteemed former CEO of Zain Telecom, and who currently serves as CEO of ILA Group. The university's president and the head of the MBA program introduced Al-Barrak to a barrage of applause from the fresh-faced and eager-eyed students in the audience. In fact, one of the main objectives of the seminar was to introduce the
Assurance Program Why/How to create an Information Assurance Just as paramount as the availability and access to information is significant in every company or business outfit, certain concerns always come to the fore: the kind of information is to be made. How the information is going to be organized? How will it be possible to ensure that the information released represents the judgment of the management of the company and gives
