  The Internet

  as a technology platform or program used for learning

  provides students the necessary motivators to know learning expectations up front

  the reasons the task must be completed and answer the related questions as to why. The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes of kindergarten teacher towards integrating the Internet into their classroom. The participants were 36 teachers from two of the charter schools sanctioned by the Volunteer Independent School District (VISD). There were 15 kindergarten teachers from Promised Enhanced Option Academy (PEOA) and 21 teachers from Liberty Academy (LA). After receiving approval from the Tennessee State University Institutional Review Board and officials of both charter schools

  the survey and informed consent form were administered to participants during a professional development interval. The teachers were instructed to complete the form on a voluntary basis. Null hypotheses were developed to determine any significant differences regarding the independent variables: 1) to determine kindergarten teacher attitudes towards integrating the Internet into their classroom; 2) the extent of years taught and how accurately this equation predicts teachers’ attitudes towards Internet integration; 3) to determine if there is a relationship between the age of the teacher and attitudes towards Internet integration. The results showed that both Promise Enhanced Option Academy (PEOA) and Liberty Academy (LA) teachers’ attitude were positive towards integrating the Internet into their classroom.

  Clergy Conversations: Dealing Practically with the Person Behind the Pulpit

  In this book

  you will discover issues that are often overlooked and ignored. Issues that are paramount to both ministerial and personal development. This book is not another “self-help or how to” book

  but an honest sentiment to express the importance of maintaining the vessel and the anointing in your life. As you go forward in your natural life and ministry

  remember that God has the authority and authorship concerning your outcome. Be encouraged. Be steadfast. Remain confident. As the Bible states in Philippians 1:6 (KJV) – “Being confident of this very thing

  that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
