Question 1
If you decide to pursue professional certification (CPA, CMA, CFE, etc.), there are certain continuing education requirements to maintain the certification. Locate and identify the continuing education requirements for a least one professional certification. Explain why you feel continuing education is important in your field of study. Explain how you intend to keep current in your field.
Question 2
Read the poem, "Ithaka" by Greek poet Constantine Cavafy and share your thoughts with your classmates about what you think the poem is saying (ideas) and how it is being said (form, way the words look on each line, etc).
Notes to consider as you discuss.
Ideas
Perhaps you will find that you need to read the poem several times in order to begin to grasp its meaning. It is easy to become frustrated by reading poetry because it is not always straightforward and easily understood. It is certainly not like what you are used to reading: stories, newspaper articles, an agenda of a meeting, grocery lists, etc. Ask yourself this: if the words in this poem don't literally mean what they mean, then how do I figure out its overall meaning? You might begin by looking for clues, and once you do this, you've begun to think like a literary critic. For example, look at the title; does the word anecdote tell you anything? Explain what it might be. Think about your own past experience and the poems you've read.
Form
Does this poem look like one you are used to reading? Isn't poetry supposed to rhyme? Does this poem rhyme? How is the fact that the poem doesn't rhyme important to your understanding of it? Before you answer, think about what you read and know about modernism.
Question 3
Now that you have studied digital technology's effect on various areas within society, it is time to discuss the way(s) that technology has changed the field of education.
For your discussion:
• Use examples from your own personal thoughts/experiences to show how education has changed due to digital technology
• Include some concepts that have been noted to have made the most impact on education
• Then provide good solid feedback on a minimum of one other student's post. Be specific in your post as you share your thoughts and ideas, are they similar or different.
