Youth Risk Behavior Survey: A technological analysis of our behaviors

Working with Microsoft Excel and File Maker Pro, I have created a health unit based on risky behaviors engaged in by youth. The curriculum is integrated with graphing lessons, database-driven, and web enabled survey, and community projects.  

Using online discussion forum to assist a traditional English class

Presenter: Tianyi Zhang (Graduate)

Program: M.A. in Curriculum and Educational Technology

This study investigated the influence of online discussion forums on student achievement in reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and critical thinking in English as Second Language (ESL) instruction. Fifty-four senior high school students participated in this study and were divided into three groups. Data were collected from achievement posttests, perception surveys, and procedural interviews. The results showed that online discussion forums did not improve students’ performance in reading, grammar, or vocabulary, but could influence students’ writing skills and provoke critical thinking in face-to-face discussions. This study also found that instructor interventions had an impact on students’ attitudes toward online discussions and promoted critical thinking in online discussions.  

The Politics of Stopping Hate
