The following text is for questions 1-2.

Television was once the newest technology in our homes, and then came videos and
computers. Today’s children are growing up in a rapidly changing digital age that is far different
from their parents. A variety of technologies are all around us in our homes, offices, and schools.
When used wisely, technology and media can support learning children’s relationships both with
adults and their peers.
Based on some evidence by research, there has never been more important time to apply
principles of development and learning when considering the use of cutting-edge technologies
and new media as the so-called interactive media. Interactive media refers to digital and analog
materials, including software programs, applications (apps), some children’s television
programming, e-books, the Internet, and other forms of content designed to facilitate active and
creative use by young children and to encourage social engagement with other children and
adults.
When the integration of technology and interactive media in early childhood prorams is
built upon solid developmental foundations, and early childhood professionals are aware of both
the challenges and the opportunities, educators are positioned to improve program quality by
intentionally leveraging the potential of technology and media for the benefit of every child.
This statement provides guidance for early childhood educators about the use of
technology and interactive media in ways that can optimize opportunities for young children’s
development. In this statement, the definition of technology tools encompasses a broad range of
digital devices such as computers, tablets, multi-touch screens, interactive whiteboards, mobile
devices, cameras, audio recorders, electronic toys, games, e-book readers, and older analog
devices still being used such as tape recorders, record and cassette players, projectors, and
microscopes.
By appropriately and intentionally using the technology of his day – broadcast television
– to connect with each individual child and with parents and families, it is demonstrated the
positive potential of using technology and media in ways that are grounded in principles of child
development.

The following text is for questions 3-5.

The green movement is catching on in many pockets of the world. This is especially true in
the construction industry. Today's buzz words, which include global warming and zero
emissions, are causing everyday people to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint.
Purchasing environmentally-friendly property is a good investment for those who are concerned
about their own health and the well-being of the earth. Based on this trend, entire districts,
known as eco-communities, are being designed with green initiatives in mind. Dockside Green in
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada is one of these communities. Its goal is to become the
world's first zero-emission neighbourhood.
Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They
ensure proper ventilation, and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Interior and exterior
building materials, such as paints and wood, are natural and non-toxic. Eco-conscious builders
use bamboo wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticide to grow.
Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as Dockside green.
Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the environment impact of
heating and hot water, they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green
claims that home owners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Though
they are sharing space by investing in condo-style living, residents will have individual utility
metres. Studies show that people use approximately 20% less energy when they are billed for
exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for
flushing toilets.
 Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account.
Dockside Green will reuse 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local
suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce
emissions. Dockside residents will be encouraged to make use of mini transit system and buy
into the community’s car share program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating
system that will use renewable biomass instead of fossil fuels.
