The integration of technology and media can enhance early childhood practice.  Successful integration of technology and media into early childhood programs involve the use of resources such as computers and the internet in daily classroom practices.  True integration occurs when the use of technology and media becomes routine and transparent -  when the focus of a child or educator is on the activity of exploration itself and not on the technology or media being used.  Technology integration has been successful when the use of technology and media supports the goals of Educators and programs for children provides children with  digital tools for Learning and communicating and helps improve child outcomes. 

.

As the lives of children, parents, families and educators are infused with technology and media,  early childhood classrooms can benefit from the possibilities of extending children's learning through judicious use of these tools. As part of the overall classroom plan technology and interactive media should be  used in ways that support existing classroom developmental and educational goals rather than in ways that distort or replace them.  For example drawing on a touch screen can add children's graphic representational experiences;  manipulating colorful acetate shapes on the light table allows children to explore color and shape.

.

By focusing on technology and interactive media as tools - not as ends and of themselves -  teachers can avoid  potentially harmful use of non-interactive linear screen media that is inappropriate in early childhood settings. Intentionality  is a key to developmentally appropriate use.

.

Exciting new resources in today's technology-rich  will represent the next frontier in digital learning for your youngest citizens,  leaving it to talented educators and caring adults to determine how best to leverage its new technology as an opportunity for children's learning in ways that are developmentally appropriate.

The green movement is catching on in many pockets of the world. This is especially true in the world.  This is especially true in the construction industry.  Today's buzzwords, Which include global warming and zero emission,  are causing everyday people to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint.  Purchasing environmentally-friendly property  is a good investment for those who are concerned about their own health and the well-being of the earth.  Based on this trend,  entire districts,  known as eco-communities,  are being designed with green initiatives in mind.  Dockside Green in Victoria,  British Columbia,  Canada is one of these communities.  It's goal is to become the world's first zero-emission neighborhood. 

.

Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make.  They ensure proper ventilation and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Interior and exterior building materials such as paints and wood are natural and non-toxic. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticides to grow.

.

Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as  Dockside Green.  Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save resident and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that homeowners will use 50% less energy than the average resident in Canada. Though they are sharing space by investing in condo-style living, residents will have individual utility meters. Studies show that people use approximately 20% less energy when they are bailed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing toilets. 

.

Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside will reuse 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions. Dockside residents will be encouraged to make use of mini transit  system and buy into the community’s share program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable biomass instead of fossil fuels.

Question: The author organizes the idea in the passage by __________

Tesla, Inc., formerly (2003–17) Tesla Motors, American electric-automobile manufacturer. It was founded in 2003 by American entrepreneurs Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning and was named after Serbian American inventor Nikola Tesla. Tesla Motors was formed to develop an electric sports car. Funding for the company was obtained from a variety of sources, most notably PayPal cofounder Elon Musk, who contributed more than $30 million to the new venture and served as chairman of the company, beginning in 2004.

In 2008 Tesla Motors released its first car, the completely electric Roadster. In company tests, it achieved 245 miles (394 km) on a single charge, a range unprecedented for a production electric car. The Roadster produced no tailpipe emissions, as it did not use an internal-combustion engine.

In 2012 Tesla stopped production of the Roadster to concentrate on its new Model S sedan, which was acclaimed by automotive critics for its performance and design. It came with three different battery options, which gave estimated ranges of 235 or 300 miles (379 or 483 km).

The company also branched out into solar energy products. A line of batteries to store electric power from solar energy for use in homes and businesses was unveiled in 2015. Tesla bought the solar panel company SolarCity in 2016. In 2017 the company changed its name to Tesla, Inc., to

Sleepiness after eating is a response of the body to chemical changes during the digestion process. This is normal and it happens to everybody. However, if sleepiness occurs every time after eating and obstructs your ability to function, this may be a concern. Sleepiness after eating is caused by many factors, such as the type of food you consume, messy sleeping habits, your health condition and so forth. The body requires energy to function and this energy is obtained through food. Post-eating, the body releases hormones such as amylin, glucagon and cholecystokinin. These hormones increase blood sugar levels, creating a feeling of fullness and producing insulin that will be streamed through cell tissues and provide energy for them. At the same time, the brain releases serotonin that causes drowsiness.

Moreover, food also influences melatonin production in the brain. This is the hormone that is responsible for sleepiness post-meal. Some foods that are rich in protein, such as meat, poultry, eggs, fish, spinach, tofu, cheese and soybeans can trigger more drowsiness than others. Additionally, foods containing carbohydrates also help produce serotonin and tryptophan amino acids found in the brain. This is the reason why you feel sleepy after eating carbohydrate-rich foods.

Overeating can also cause sleepiness. Post-meal, the body streams more blood to the digestive system to better digest foods in massive amounts. This causes a temporary blood and nutrients shortage in the brain. To prevent post-meal drowsiness, it’s better to eat a balanced diet containing vegetables, grains and good fats to provide continuous energy. Drink lots of water and limit your sugar intake.

Bad sleeping patterns can also cause sleepiness after eating. After a meal, the body feels full and relaxed, making the body feel like it is resting, resulting in a feeling of sleepiness, particularly if you didn’t get a good night’s sleep the night before. To avoid this, improve your sleeping habits to prevent stress. Engaging in regular physical exercise can help you get a good night’s sleep. It is recommended that you avoid napping if you are having trouble sleeping at night.
