You have kicked off the District 4 Production Warehouse Move project, your contractors are in place and working on receiving the proper building permits.

You originally were told the permits would only take 2 weeks to obtain but the contractors are telling you it will now take 3 weeks. You need to build the additional week into your schedule for each permit that will be obtained.

In addition, your framing and drywall contractors have just told you they are running late on their other jobs and can only release half their crew for your project. This will double their schedule.

Build the extra time into your schedule by doubling the installation work timelines for both the framing and drywall. Your project plan should also be updated with the new 3-week timeline for obtaining permits. Use the project plan you created for this task.

You are now looking at an extended project delivery date. Your project sponsor was very clear that you must be done in a 4 month timeframe so you will need to look at options for reducing your schedule to fit into the 4 month window.

You have an option of hiring another contractor to help with the framing and drywall work but it will increase your budget by $200,000.

Determine your best course of action for bringing this project in on schedule and update your project plan to reflect your recommendation. Develop a 5-6 slide presentation for senior management outlining your proposed solution. You are seeking approval to proceed with your new plan.

Submit both your updated project plan in PDF format and your PowerPoint presentation.

A good friend, Maria, has just asked your advice now that you are taking business math. She has never owned a car before and doesn’t know if she should lease or buy one. She doesn’t really understand the financial or other advantages and disadvantages of owning versus leasing. She has visited a dealership and gotten some basic information on the car of her choice. Maria summarized the information from the dealer into a table and outlined some of her questions. She would like your help analyzing the information and deciding what to do.

1.Look under the Project icon and download the file name Car Worksheet. Save the worksheet to your computer with the filename your lastnamefirstinitial_worksheet_P3. For example, if Jenny Wu is doing this project she would save the worksheet as wuj_worksheet_P3. When you open the worksheet be sure to put a heading at the top with your name and the project title.

2.Complete the remaining entries under Solution Plan in the worksheet. Be sure to use complete sentences in items 1 through 5.

3.Scroll back up the worksheet and look at the questions under What we are looking for and include your answers under each question. Be sure to write in complete sentences.

4.Now its your turn. Pick a car that you like and that you may be able to afford. Complete the following. Use full sentences in all responses.

1.Call or visit a dealership and find out how much it would cost to lease and to purchase the car of your choice. Don’t forget to record the name of the person you speak to, their title, the date, and the dealership name. Be sure to specify what optional equipment you want. Be specific. Tell me the exact model you want.

2.Visit the two websites http://www.kbb.com/ and http://www.edmunds.com/ and get the car sticker price, dealer costs, and the average purchase price for the car you selected. How does the dealer cost compare to the sticker price? Be sure you include all the options you specified when you priced the car with the dealer. How does this information help you when negottiating with the dealer?

3.New cars depreciate, that is lose value, as soon as you drive them out of the showroom. Some cars hold their value better than others. Search on the web and find out about depreciation rates on new cars. See if you can find the rate for the car you are interested in. Use the websites listed above and look up the resale value of a three year old model of the car you are interested in. Compare it to some other cars. What does that tell you about the rate of depreciation on the car you are interested in?

4.After reviewing your answers to question 6 on the worksheet what would you do – buy or lease? Why?

5.You should be able to add the information to your worksheet file but if you created a new file to answer the questions be sure to name the file with with the filename your lastnamefirstinitial__car. For example, if Jenny Wu is doing this project she would save the file as wuj_P3. Remember the file must be a WORD or Rich Text file. Be sure you put a heading at the top with your name and the project title.

6.Include a Reference List giving all sources you consulted for this project. If you are not sure how to properly cite your references seehttp://www.bergen.edu/pages/2306.asp. (Note: The BCC English Department uses MLA format. You may use MLA, APA, or Chicago style but you must be consistent in your usage.

You are encouraged to watch a production of the play (many are available online) but you must refer to the printed text in your essay. Remember that you are writing about the play as a work of literature, not reviewing a specific production.

Your essay must address the author’s use of various literary devices, such as characterization, plot, setting, symbolism, and irony, to develop a theme. Be sure that you understand the literary devices you are writing about. For example, if you write about “characterization” (which would make sense in writing about a play), be sure that you are not just describing the characters; instead, you must analyze the techniques the author uses to inform us about the chapters. Cite quotes from the play and another other sources use; if you watch a performance, list that performance in your Workds Cites as well.

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK): This framework demonstrates the combination of content expertise, information delivery expertise (pedagogy), and instructional technology implementation all used to enhance learning.

As explained in your textbook, TPACK combines pedagogical knowledge, content knowledge, and technological knowledge to transform learning opportunities into student-centered opportunities for lesson engagement, global connections, and web interfacing through 21st century technology advancements. The TPACK framework demonstrates the interplay of three knowledge bases:

Pedagogical Content Knowledge: This area is where most teachers have their foundation as a content expert who delivers knowledge using the foundations of pedagogy.
Technological Content Knowledge: This area includes making content more accessible and differentiated through technology including graphing calculators, online language translators, and virtual world tours.
Technological Pedagogical Knowledge: This area involves advanced learning processes through the use of technology that contribute to a wider variety of differentiated instructional opportunities including iPads that have text to speech programs, SMARTboard with text magnification, and online educational games that provide immediate feedback.

Assignment Instructions

Using the classroom environment and the demographics created in Week Two, the instructional strategies that align with the CCSS in the blog created in Week Three, the unit plan created in Week Four, and the summative assessment created in Week Five, you will create the framework for a TPACK lesson plan.

Identify the following aspects of your lesson plan:
Title: The title of your lesson.
Grade level and basic class demographics.
Anticipated Outcome (Lesson Objective): This must be measurable and written to align with the CCSS.
Common Core State Standard: This can be from your Unit Plan.
NETS-T standard standard being met.

You must also clearly explain how the Common Core State Standard (CCSS) aligns with this section.
Technological Content Knowledge: Explain how instructional technology will be used to compliment the lesson’s content. For example- a graphing calculator is used to check student’s algebra work or using spell check in a word document. You must also clearly explain how the CCSS and NETS standard(s) aligns with this section.
Technological Pedagogical Knowledge: Explain how the instructional technology device(s) included in your lesson enhance student learning and classroom organization (such as online attendance and grading). You must also clearly explain how the NETS standard(s) aligns with this section.

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK):
Analyze how your lesson integrates Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), and Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) to fully address TPACK in the creation of an engaging lesson that differentiates instruction, makes global connections through 21st century technological advancements, encourages critical thinking, and demonstrates content area expertise.

Managing Change

You are the chief operations officer (COO) of a Fortune 1000 company, and your company is preparing to implement a major change in standard operating procedures in the next six months. This is an initiative that you have personally spearheaded over the past year and one which you know—while extremely valuable to the company and its employees in the long-term future—will almost certainly elicit a lot of initial unhappiness, anxiety, uncertainty, and push-back from both customers and employees of the organization—especially if the key components of the change initiative are communicated carelessly.

Think about the communications problems you face as the COO—right now, over the next six months, and for up to a year after the change is implemented. What will you have to do to ensure that your message is well-received and clearly understood by both external and internal customers (employees)? What media will you choose to communicate through over the next several months?

After considering this problem at some length, please draft an email to your chief executive officer (CEO) in which you sketch out the plan and describe your communications strategy.

Your well-written paper must adhere to the following parameters:

3 pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. Both your analysis and draft email to the CEO must be included.

2-3 references cited in the assignment. Remember, you must support your thinking/opinions and prior knowledge with references; all facts must be supported; in-text references used throughout the assignment must be included in an APA-formatted reference list
