Explain how has technology changed the learning system? It has to be an argumentative essay. Need argumentative details for 3 body paragraph's ASAP!!!

Thesis: The importance of technology in the classroom can increase educational productivity by accelerating the rate of learning, reducing costs associated with instructional materials or program delivery and, and better-utilizing teacher time.

Technology in the early childhood classroom is a hot topic. Opposing sides believe it is either appropriate or inappropriate in an early childhood environment. Select one issue related to technology and discus whether you are for or against it. Issues could include screen time, hand held devices, etc. Support your rationale with evidence from research.

In 2009, New York First National Bank acquired New Jersey National Bank. In an exchange, New York First National Bank issued three series of preferred stock for New Jersey National Bank's net assets. Series Senior A (the most senior series), was given to four of New Jersey National Bank's creditors so that the debt could then be retired. The four preferred shareholders are listed as follows: two regional banks, one money center bank, and a non-financial corporation. Senior Series A has a total par value of $20 million, which carries a non-cumulative dividend per the following schedule:

New York First National Bank did not pay dividends in 2010, 2011, or 2013 however, they will start paying dividends annually at the start of 2014 thus, they will pay 20% on the Senior Series A preferred.

The Senior Series A stock may be called at any given time, at par plus dividends cumulated from January 1, 2010. New York First National Bank estimates that it can float a new issue of 10% non-cumulative preferred stock at par, with issuance costs amounting to $1,000,000. The new issue of preferred would be callable at par plus unpaid dividends.

Should New York First National Bank call in the Senior Series A and issue new preferred? (assume that the Senior Series A would be called effective December 31, 2013.)

More time on the Internet: A researcher polled a sample of 1097 adults in the year 2010, asking them how many hours per week they spent on the Internet. The sample mean was 9.42 with a standard deviation of 13.23. A second sample of 1031 adults was taken in the year 2012. For this sample, the mean was 10.63 with a standard deviation of 14.47. Assume these are simple random samples from populations of adults. Can you conclude that the mean number of hours per week spent on the Internet increased between 2010 and 2012? Let μ1 denote the mean number of hours spent on the Internet in 2010 and μ2 denote the mean number of hours spent on the Internet in 2012. Use the =α0.05 level and the P-value method with the table. Part 1 of 6 Your Answer is correct State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. H0:=μ1μ2 H1:<μ1μ2 This is a ▼left-tailed test. Part 2 of 6 Your Answer is correct Compute the test statistic. Round the answer to three decimal places. =t −2.01 Part 3 of 6 Your Answer is incorrect How many degrees of freedom are there, using the simple method? The degrees of freedom using the simple method is 1.646. Correct Answer: The degrees of freedom using the simple method is 1030. Part: 3 / 63 of 6 Parts Complete Part 4 of 6 Estimate the P-value.
