Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Imagine, if you will, for a moment that a disaster occurred in a town very familiar, a community, whether urban or rural, where in past local occurrences each agency went about its appointed duty without interrupting one another, and this has traditionally been the case in the United States. Then suddenly a disaster such as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans occurs and the new agencies developed by Homeland Security come into the area and communication channels get crossed with tasks being duplicated and others being left undone, neglected perhaps. Strategies that can be shared, integrated and coordination through use of technological tools offer the possibility for unprecedented coordination among law-enforcement, private security and public service providers in the event of such a catastrophe or disaster."

Abstract
This paper discusses how mythology may be discriminated from theology in that the stories may be discriminated from the beliefs arising from them and how most religions are made up of stories which become part of the belief system of the believer. It looks at how most religions in the world have as their source the writings of the Koran and Pentateuch, or the Old Testament. The stories in these books were written down sometime within recorded history, and, in fact, make up part of recorded history. It also discusses how myths continue to be made and how today the Internet has spawned thousands of "myths" that tell new stories about "miracles" and strange happenings related to participants' religions. Over the Internet, these stories travel at the speed of light around the globe and are changed and twisted till they become as believable and astounding as the first myths were. Often they are based on some former, or biblical happening or related to something in the Bible or concern some religious leader.
From the Paper
"The myths that Christians and others who follow the teachings of the New Testament believe today are constantly changing in form and content. The Church has something to do with this. The Catholic Church regularly makes edicts that tell believers how they are to act and believe from that point on (dogma). One example is the myth of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Paul makes no reference to her being a virgin when Jesus was conceived and his books predate all the four gospels. He had not heard of this "myth." It was a story that evidently was circulated and gained acceptance after 50 A.D. The story of Mary continued to grow and her character was modified and changed to suit the times (Symes 2007)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the use of new technology, specifically computers and the Internet, in education. The paper looks at how this technology offers teachers an effectual and informative way to enhance educational instruction and variety for their students. The paper also discusses the factors that influence the effectiveness of the incorporation of technology into classroom curricula.
From the Paper
"Similarly, Fleming, Motamedi, and May (2007) found that pre-service teachers who had experience with technology in college would more likely be favorable of including high-tech instruction. The purpose of their research was to see if modeling by university professors and practicum and cooperating teachers was related to pre-service teachers' perceptions of their computer technology skills and if pre-service teachers' use of technology in academic and other settings was related to those perceptions. In the study, at the end of the semester during which they completed their student teaching, 79 pre-service teacher education students responded to a questionnaire concerning their training experience and computer technology skills. The results suggested that the more extensively pre-service teachers observe computer technology being used and the more they use computer technology in and out of the student teaching classroom, the more likely they would be to report competence in the computer technology skills. It appears by these findings that as pre-service teachers observe models and obtain hands-on experience with computer technology, they will feel more proficient with their skills and feel more comfortable in including this approach in their daily instruction."

1,225 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 41.95

Abstract
This paper relates that, as a result of the power of the 2004 election bloggers, most political campaigns today have an Internet strategy. The paper points out that the stratospheric rise of presidential candidate Barack Obama is a testimony to the power of the Internet and its ability to rally young people who do not belong to the formal party structures. The paper discusses the impact of the Internet on politics and political campaigns and suggests that that, because of the Internet, political power has shifted to the common hands of thousands of ordinary independent Americans bloggers.
From the Paper
"The Internet also provides a sense of control for those who feel powerless. Rather than merely consume political media, the Internet permits the individual to disseminate editorial material, unapproved of by the candidates, in an unedited form (unlike even a letter to the editor of a major newspaper). Yet this intense personalization, also suggests that one of the assumed positives about the political influence of the Internet, namely creating connections between like-minded people unrecognized by the system, might be doubtful."

"In 1989, 38 CEOs came together and founded the 'Cable Alliance for Education', which as a non-profit foundation created to provide support to excellence in education. This consortium was an alliance among cable operators and networks that had as their aim "serving teachers and students...across the country, and based on the premise that powerful technology and rich content can make learning happen." (Marshall, 2002) The educational philosophy that served as a guide was that each student and teacher has a right to five elements that are essential to a good education in the 21st century."
