THIS Presentation will focus on each process as a Reflective Practitioner, Change Agent, and Lifelong Learner.
In this Presentation, you will learn
REFLECTIVE PRACTITIONER
When we as educators think of Reflective Practitioner the capacity to reflect on action so as to engage in a process of continuous learning", which some believe is wrong . According to one definition it involves "paying critical attention to the practical values and theories which inform everyday actions, by examining practice reflectively and reflexively. Reflective practice can be an important tool in practice-based professional learning settings where individuals learning from their own professional experiences, rather than from formal teaching or knowledge transfer, may be the most important source of personal professional development and improvement.
CHANGE AGENT
A Change Agent is someone who knows and understands the dynamics that facilitate or hinder change. Change Agents define, research, plan, build support, and partner with others to create change. They have the courage and the willingness to do what is best for the community.
LIFELONG LEARNER
Lifelong learning is the "ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons. Therefore, it not only enhances social inclusion, active citizenship and personal development, but also competitiveness and employability.

TECHNOLOGIES THAT ENABLE MOBILITY
Mobility solutions require the use of wireless technologies, which enables users to roam freely, while still being in touch with the necessary back-end office infrastructure. Generally speaking, wireless is an old-fashioned term for a radio transceiver (a mixed receiver and transmitter device), referring to its use in wireless telegraphy early on, or for a radio receiver. Now the term is used to describe modern wireless connections such as those in cellular networks and wireless broadband internet, mainly using radio waves.
Technologies That Aid TransportationAll transportation depends on technology, whether it’s the wheel, the jet engine, or the computer chip. Transportation is not just technology—it’s a system of technology, people, energy, money, and more—but advances in technology play a key role in shaping transportation systems, which in turn help to shape our lives, landscapes, and culture.
TECHNOLOGIES THAT AID MANIPULATION AND CONTROL OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Maintaining independence and control over one's life is an increasingly important issue as we age. Appropriate hearing aid and related amplification contributes to independence and control. Using a Likert-like pretest-posttest non-equivalent control study, we used a Hearing Aid Manipulation Training Protocol (HATP) to ascertain if elderly hearing aid users can improve their ability to use amplification when exposed to a new user training paradigm. Participants included 16 elderly hearing aid users who had their hearing aids for three to six months, and who had significant difficulty handling and adjusting them. Half of the participants were trained with the HATP and half were not. After two weeks of HATP training, an average of 41% improvement in over-all hearing aid manipulation occurred in the experimental group, versus 9.6% improvement in the control group. Therefore, a net improvement in performance of 30.4% was realized by participants exposed to the HATP.
