Becky is a first-year player on a nationally ranked women’s NCAA Division I tennis team. She is six feet tall with a powerful left-handed serve. Her groundstrokes are technically sound, but she makes too many unforced errors. Her volleys are solid, and she moves well for a tall player. As a high school tennis player, Becky always played a great deal in the spring and summer, but never practiced in the fall or winter. In addition, she never participated in junior tennis associations.
In her senior year in high school, Becky won her state high school singles and doubles championship. She was especially dominant in doubles, winning the state finals 6-2, 6-1. It was after these accomplishments that the tennis coach of Major University contacted her about playing collegiate tennis.
The fall season was a rude awakening for Becky. Not only did she not make the starting lineup, but she also did not even make the traveling squad. In addition, she lost every challenge match she played except one. Becky began to feel that maybe she was not such a good tennis player after all. She stopped hanging around with her new college friends because she thought they would not like her since she was such a “loser.”
Compared to the other women on her college tennis team, Becky had very little experience. Most of her teammates had played the junior tennis circuit and had achieved national rankings or, at the very least, sectional rankings. The coach believes Becky is a very talented tennis player, but her lack of experience has held her back. The coach has told her that she is number 9 out of 12 players on the team.
Your role on the team is that of a student sport psychology consultant. One day about three weeks into the spring season, Becky comes to you before practice and says, “I need help. I’ve got no confidence, the coach doesn’t believe in me, and I’m not having any fun. Every time I step on the tennis court, I feel so anxious I could throw up. My heart is pounding, and I can't stop thinking about how likely I am to screw something up.” You set up a time to talk, and the next day meet in your office.
Identify how anxiety, arousal, and stress might play a facilitative or debilitative role in Becky’s performances within the case. Use at least one specific theory to explain your answer.
Identify three intervention strategies that Becky can use to help manage her anxiety, arousal, and/or stress. For each strategy, discuss why this strategy will work based on relevant theory and research. (please expand on all areas as much as you can)

Under the Constitution and our federal system of government, some powers are reserved for the national government and some for the state governments; and, some are shared. Please tell us about laws and regulations you work with in your daily lives. Try to list some of each. Example -- If we take the bus, the registration and inspection is a state mandate, while the bus construction is a federal mandate, and emissions controls are mandated by the national government, but inspected by the state. Other examples are work rules, etc.

As a learner and as an instructional designer, review the latest version of The New Media Consortium’s The Horizon Report.
Choose between the Higher Education or K–12 Editions.
Select an emerging technology that the report lists as one that will be adopted within the next five years.
Drawing from the examples you explored on the Edutopia Web site to inform your response, provide an example of how that technology could be utilized in an instructional environment.
What learning theory would you consider to be the likely foundation for the implementation of this emerging technology into an instructional setting?
Provide rationale to substantiate how this technology will truly enhance the learning process, as opposed to being a way to simply integrate the “latest and greatest” technology bells and whistles.
Post a summary of your responses to the above questions about how to best utilize a selected emerging technology into instruction. Support your response with references to the Learning Resources.
