Question 2

, many individuals with ADHD also have problems with drug and/or alcohol abuse. Many children with ADHD received psychopharmacological treatment.

Question 3

Use a search engine such as Google and search for more apps, resources, and tools online that enhance learning for adult learners (in face-to-face, virtual, and hybrid settings). Spend some time examining 2-3 apps, resources, or tools deeply (either from last week's lesson…or those you find on your own). Describe, discuss, and analyze those you examined more closely. Use these guiding questions to help frame this week's discussion. Back up points with the literature as appropriate.

Guiding Questions for each tool, app, and/or resource:

1. What do you like best about the technological tool, app, or resource and why?

2. What kinds of adult learners might this tool, app, or resource be best suited for and why?

3. What specific challenges do you see with using the tool, app, or resource?

Question 4

"Blogs" or weblogs provide an easy way for people to post opinions on any subject – including social and work-related issues. Some businesses have established corporate blogs, often written by the CEO or other members of senior management. Some companies have terminated or disciplined employees for what they say on these communication platforms. The best way to handle these concerns is to make clear what the boundaries and expectations of personal blogging might be. An employee blogging policy that spells out the boundaries, including a signed non-disclosure privacy agreement, is the best approach. Wikis, or group editable web pages, can be useful for creating agendas and revising documents and schedules. However, Wikis, like blogs, can cause difficulties in that some people may have inside knowledge not meant for publication, or others may plagiarize sources unwittingly. 1. Do you think companies should establish corporate blogs? Why or why not? 2. Do you think employees should be terminated for what they say on blogs or social media platforms whether inside or outside the organization? Explain the reasoning for your opinion.

3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using Wikis?
