514 portfolio electronic or paper of your work illustrating how computer technologies can be used to improve the teaching and learning of a particular unit within your discipline By the time you are done with this class you will have collected and developed resources that will benefit you and your students Please note that many of the activities in this portfolio may be also used as artifacts for your professional teaching portfolio PDP Complete the title page of the portfolio that includes a photograph of you your name school subject taught and topic for portfolio Identify the subject and topic for which your 514 portfolio will be developed Briefly describe the significance of this topic with respect to your curriculum Name Subject taught Resource classes all academic areas topic s for portfolio Special EducationMild Moderate Disabilities Ayse G Karabay Sherman Oaks Center For Enriched Studies SOCES I will develop my portfolio for teaching primarily English and math to students with special needs I will include strategies and methods that will be effective while working with students with mild moderate disabilities 2 Documenting your work with screen capture Screen capture programs allow the user to take pictures of anything on their screen and save them as graphics files Download a screen capture program for your home computer and use it to take pictures of items required in this portfolio Demonstrate competency with a screen capture utility by inserting a jpg file of keyboard shortcuts contextual help menu of the operating system you are using Note that virtually all programs and operating systems have help menus and keyboard shorcuts Consult these electronic help menus when you need to know how to perform a particular operation 1 Name Ayse Karabay

drive b upload ftp them to your CSUN account uDrive c move them to an Internet hard drive or d send them as attached files accompanying email messages Do one of the following Save your work to your uDrive The uDrive is an extra storage area that provides additional disk space for campus users who wish to store their desktop files and 2 Name Ayse Karabay April 18 2008 11 24 AM folders on a remote server Include a screen capture Develop an Internet hard drive using the Yahoo briefcase or similar resource You can send your files to your Internet hard drive and then retrieve them at home or school Include a screen capture 4 Learning about your students Most secondary school teachers must learn the names of 150 200 students at the beginning of each academic year This formidable task is made much easier using a photographic seating chart TPE tip Teachers may use photographic seating charts combined with student information surveys to learn about their students early in the semester TPE 8 Make certain to check with your school regarding policies for photographing students Use a digital camera to make a seating chart for one of the classes you teach or for this class at CSUN 3

facilitating plagiarism Discuss the importance of intellectual honesty with your students and illustrate how you can easily identify work plagiarized from sites on the Internet Using an advanced search engine with Boolean search features such as Altavista find text from one of your students or from a website related to your field that appears to be plagiarized Copy and paste the text and the URLs of both pieces in question Alternatively you may wish to use an online plagiarism detection service such as tunitin com http www csun edu science courses 514 docs plaigirism htm Hardware History Overview Modern computing can probably be traced back to the Harvard Mk I and Colossus both of 1943 Colossus was an electronic computer built in Britain at the end 1943 and designed to crack the German coding system Lorenz cipher The Harvard Mk I was a more general purpose electro mechanical programmable computer built at Harvard University with backing from IBM These computers were among the first of the first generation computers First generation computers were normally based around wired circuits containing vacuum valves and used punched cards as the main non volatile storage medium Another general purpose computer of this era was ENIAC Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer which was completed in 1946 It was typical of first generation computers it weighed 30 tones contained 18 000 electronic valves and consumed around 25KW of electrical power It was however capable of an amazing 100 000 calculations a second The next major step in the history of computing was the invention of the transistor in 1947 This replaced the inefficient valves with a much smaller and more reliable component Transistorised computers are normally referred to as Second Generation and dominated the late 1950s and early 1960s Despite using transistors and printed circuits these computers were still bulky and strictly the domain of Universities and governments The explosion in the use of computers began with Third Generation computers These relied Jack St Claire Kilby s invention the integrated circuit or microchip the first integrated circuit was produced in September 1958 but computers using them didn t begin to appear until 1963 While large mainframes such as the I B M 360 increased storage and processing capabilities further the integrated circuit allowed the development of Minicomputers that began to bring computing into many smaller businesses Large scale intergration of circuits led to the development of very small processing
