Leadership triangle
The essence of seeing systems is to think in circles rather than in straight lines. This is especially important when looking at societal issues and challenges, as well as large organizations.
Your assignment is to choose a large system and map the feedback loops, e.g., how one thing affects another. (The reason I’m having you do this is to identify the processes and relationships that form/evolve in systems. These can parallel what we see (on a smaller scale) in organizations.)

There are no rules re: complexity or how big it should be or what it should be about, because it needs to be interesting to you for this to be a good exercise and I cannot define that. You just need to be willing to share it with a few other classmates in breakout rooms, as you’ll be asked to do that in our live session.
Examples of possible systems for mapping include, but are not limited to:
· The systemic issues in some current social issue or challenge (urban poverty,students at risk, alcoholism or drug abuse, ethnic conflict, etc.). Here's a video version of mapped systems issues in the educational system .
· One of the classic examples from On the follow of rewarding A, while hoping for B (Kerr, 1995) would make excellent subject matter
· Any leadership triangle scenario would make a great map as well or one of the cases from that course.
· Back in the day I mapped my family’s feedback/control systems as an exercise for my therapist (Dr. Perkl), it was incredibly interesting and useful for helping see how to disrupt the parts of that system that were damaging and make new patterns to move forward.
· Any scenario involving power/influence/resources/control from your own life you want to explore and try to figure out can be a great candidate!
Sample Solution
there are various difficulties coming from worries regarding how computerized innovations are utilized in learning. Harris et al (2009) contend that current utilization of innovation will in general be centered around abilities expected by instructors to incorporate these in their study halls, rather than understudies' advancing necessities. Likewise, Burden and Atkinson (2008) recommends that most advanced innovations being used in the homerooms were not made as instructive apparatuses, yet have been adjusted by instructors for educational purposes.
Various examinations have zeroed in on the boundaries looked by the organizations when they endeavor to incorporate computerized advancements in learning, and techniques that can be utilized to beat these obstructions. Cut and Bush (2007) assembled these hindrances in classifications, for example, design of organizations, learning climate, appraisal of learning or perspectives of students.
Along these lines, an illustration of boundary is found in Banyard research (2006), where it was observed that the connection between the utilization of advanced innovation and scholastic accomplishment isn't immediate. The discoveries of this examination proposes that there is a powerless or non-existing connection between the presentation of computerized advancements and the normal exhibition of students on state administered tests ( Banyard et al 2006, Underwood et al 2005). Banyard resumes by saying that the benefit of learning innovations must be determineed whether the appraisals had the option to show the discovering that occurred utilizing these advancements.
Additionally, the dangers of the utilization of advanced innovation are depicted in exploration like literary theft (Banyard advertisement Davies 2007), trivial clicking (Wood 2003), obsessive web use (Niemz et al 2005), harassing and undesirable sexual requesting (Banyard and Underwood 2012), or the feeling of disinhibiting made by the web (Joison and Banyard 2012). Fioretti (2014) is additionally addressing whether Google is making us inept, or disregarding our security.
Chromebooks/Kahoot
Chromebooks are workstations with no hard drives where nothing is put away in the gadget and all frameworks and projects are gotten to through the internet browser. This empowers the understudies to get to data and administrations inside the cloud in an exceptionally brief time frame. I had the chance to work with chromebooks in my first position school, and it was a less expensive option in contrast to IPads, which appear to be more appealing for a school with a restricted financial plan, costing short of what I cushions, being less expensive to fix or even to supplant. Chromebooks can be handily shared. Rather than giving an iPad to every understudy, a school could purchase 30 Chromebooks and leave them in a solitary study hall. Each understudy could involve a Chromebook in
