corporate financing
A perpetuity with the first annual cash flow paid at the beginning of year 4 is equivalent to receiving $100,000 in 15 years time. Assume that the perpetuity and the lump sum are of equivalent risk and that j2 = 11% pa is the appropriate interest rate. How much is the annual cash flow associated with the perpetuity?

Innovative or Traditional?
Khan Academy: Innovative or Traditional?
In the discussion forums for the last two weeks, Sir Ken Robinson and Seth Goodin challenged us to think differently about what the purpose of school is. Seth suggests that students should be able to watch lessons at home and meet with the teacher during the day to engage in deep conversation answering questions from the video and not simply sitting in class listening to a lecture. In fact, Khan Academy is considered an innovative flipped classroom model that has taken this strategy to scale across America. In the video, Salman Khan: Let’s Use Video to Reinvent Education, Salman Khan, the developer of Khan Academy discusses how shifting lectures to video provides a way to revolutionize education by making learning accessible anytime, anyway, and anyplace. On the contrary, the video What if Khan Academy Was Made in Japan?suggests that Khan Academy reinforces the American model of learning, which continues to focus on the idea of watch a lesson and practice the skill. After you watch both videos, think about the focus of this week’s reading: delivering effective lessons that connect your students to learning. How do you reconcile the two different perspectives on learning exhibited in the videos? What relevance do you see in each perspective?In what ways, if any, does either approach to teaching and learning reflect constructivism? If you were asked to pick a side to support, which strategy would have a greater impact on ensuring students master twenty first century skills? Explain your thinking.

Assessment for Learning
Assessment for Learning Assessment is a common aspect of each and every classroom. In the twenty-first century classroom, assessment for learning is essential to ensure that students are mastering key skills. The video, Assessment for Learning, points out key strategies that can be employed in the classroom in order to ensure student success. After watching the video, share your thoughts on the structures and strategies a teacher needs to put into place in order to ensure that an effective classroom environment is created to foster twenty first century learning.
Choose one of the following digital tools to enhance your written response (Smore, Prezi, PowToon, Sliderocket, Present.me, or other presentation software). Utilizing technology in this discussion will further prepare you for the Final Project in Week Six.
Address and include the following:
Key strategies from the video Your own ideas about both formative and summative assessments How both sets of ideas could be implemented to create an effective classroom environment Be sure to include examples to illustrate and support your ideas.
Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates by offering a critique of their ideas. Be sure also to respond to any questions that your instructor might pose.

Different School Models
Different School Models
Part One: There is a range of school models that exist within our school communities, all of which have the goal of helping students achieve their potential. You will need to interview two teachers, principals, or teaching support staff members from two different schools to complete this assignment. Although it is not necessary, you should try to visit each site. Each school must be a different school model as discussed in the readings. Compare and contrast the two schools based on what you learn from your visits and/or interviews. The goal is to analyze the two different school models, compare the type of teaching and learning that occurs within each, understand what each school has identified as a priority, and understand what each school or classroom has determined is the top issue(s). In addition to identifying key statistics, such as the type of school, demographics, and student-to-teacher ratio, use the following questions as a guide for your observation/interview:
What are the most important issues you currently face in ensuring all students achieve their potential? How are you addressing these issues? What role does technology play in classrooms to support teaching and learning? If you had to choose one subject area that your students need the most support in mastering, what would it be? What do you see as the most important skills to be taught? How would you identify 21st-century skills? How would you describe the teaching in your classroom? What role do you see students having in the teaching and learning process? Teachers? How has teaching changed over the years? What are the key issues you currently face?
Part Two: Place the information you glean from your interviews in a chart similar to the one below. This project is designed to give you insights into the real-life issues, topics, and complexities that practitioners address daily while also providing a forum for you to reflect on your beliefs and practices. Once the chart is complete, you should include a two- to three-page summary, identifying the implications of what you gleaned from your research on your own practice. Questions to consider in your summary are:
What did you learn from the visits? What are the implications for your own teaching and learning? Your philosophy of education? What areas of new knowledge do you plan to explore? How was your thinking different or similar? How would you address some of the issues in your classroom? How would you prioritize the work in these classrooms if you were the teacher? What role could technology play in assisting with the work? Reflect on the ISTE Standards for Teachers you reviewed last week and share any insights related to your research.
