Constitution and bylaws eastern communication association

This essay investigates the operation of discourse and power in the constitution of social identity and reality, as represented in Japanese American internment narratives. The analysis identifies forms of subjectivity, discursive strategies and practices to gain insight into the lived experience of internees and into the process by which discursive closure is realized in cultural systems. The Japanese American subject is constituted as a “Radical Other” in internment stories through two interwoven threads: the Japanese American subject as (dis)loyal and the Japanese American subject as “enemy alien.” The essay concludes with a discussion of implications for public discourse, narration, and criticism.     

Filling in the Blanks

Abstract

This paper reviews the history of technology and testing. The role and functions of computers in education have become more varied, from drill and practice to simple tutorials to WebQuests. However, one important aspect of teaching for which the computer is ideally suited, achievement testing, is often overlooked. While it is not difficult to envision computers administering and scoring tests, there is also learning that occurs when tests are administered by a computer. Advantages and disadvantages of computer-based testing are also examined. Finally Type II applications are explored.     

Constructing Meaning in a Technology-Rich,Global Learning Environment

Abstract

This paper introduces the Global Forum on School Leadership (GFSL) as a Type II application of interactive computing technology suitable for 21st century learners, teachers, and school leaders. Simply put, the concept of the GFSL brings together learners who share a common goal, a common subject area, or a common profession, and encourages them to interact and learn together. Among the many differences that learners bring to the learning task, the one central and very obvious difference upon which the GFSL depends is culture. In the example presented here, the GFSL creates a learning partnership between a class of neophyte school leaders enrolled in a school leader preparation program in the United States and a similar class of students enrolled in a school leader preparation program in Australia (it could be anywhere else in the world). The discussion begins with a focus on the evolution of technology use in schools and the related evolution of learning in technologically rich environments. The GFSL is introduced as a Type II application increasingly necessary in a learning world where a global focus is being forced upon learners and where global understanding and awareness is becoming a basic survival skill. The paper generates a global version of the five characteristics of Type II applications, and concludes with an analysis of the impact of the Global Forum on participants' learning experiences and professional skills.

Communities,Cultures and Conflict in Southern Italy,from the Byzantines to the Angevins*

When the Normans conquered southern Italy and Sicily during the eleventh century, a significant part of the population were Greek-rite Christians (mainly in southern Apulia, Calabria and north-east Sicily) or, on the island of Sicily, Muslims. To begin with, at least, it was very much in the interests of the new rulers to tolerate these groups, and hence the reputation of the Norman kingdom of Sicily for its diversity and multi-culturalism. But over the next two centuries this consensus slowly dissolved, the position of the Greek and Muslim communities weakened, and ultimately both disappeared. However, while with the Greeks much of the pressure for acculturation and Latinisation was unconscious and unintended, and the decline of the Greek rite and contraction of the Graecophone areas were very slow, the Muslims of Sicily were provoked into revolt at the end of the twelfth century, and had been almost entirely eliminated from the island by 1250. It has usually been assumed that most of the Muslims of Sicily were deported to Frederick II’s military colony at Lucera in the Capitanata. Yet when examined closely, this thesis seems improbable, and what happened to the Sicilian Muslims remains an enigma.

以FLEXIOK10为核心构建一款简易DDS正弦波发生器

从DDS的基本原理出发,可知实现电路功能的核心部分在相位累加和ROM上面,而利用FPGA来实现相位累加和ROM的功能都是FPGA的强项,故可以f1PGA为核心器件替代相位累加器和ROM.     

略论二战后两极格局对全球化进程的阻碍

自地理大发现至今,全球化这一概念逐渐为人们所认知,尤以二战后全球化脚步的加快使得这一概念更加深入人心。但是二战后两极格局的存在,导致了思想意识的融合受到抵制,阻碍了各国经济的发展,加剧了地区不稳定因素,且滋生恐怖主义,这就迟滞了全球化的脚步。不过,随着两极格局的解体,未来世界全球化的进程已不可逆转。     

从翻转课堂到翻转会议——O2O环境中学术会议的组织模型及技术支撑体系研究

随着教育理念和信息技术的发展,基于O2O环境的翻转课堂已成为当前教育教学领域的研究热点与实践趋势。作为信息传播、问题探讨和知识扩散的特定活动,学术会议与课堂教学有着诸多类似的方面。为此．借鉴翻转课堂的理念提出了翻转会议的概念,并剖析了国内外两次翻转式学术会议的组织案例。并在前期研究成果——面向翻转课堂的“太极环模型I”的基础上,构建了面向翻转会议的“太极环模型II”。与翻转课堂一样．翻转会议的有效实施也离不开O2O环境中各种信息化软硬件平台的技术支撑,,通过对翻转会议理论概念、组织模式与技术平台的阐释,以期为O2O环境中学术会议的有效组织与创新发展,提供一些借鉴与参考
