TL;DR: The problems associated with each insanity “test” presently in use are addressed and how “determining” insanity is an evolutionary process is addressed.
Abstract: Health care professionals are often called upon as expert witnesses in insanity determinations. Most are familiar with the “insanity standard” applicable in the court in which they are called to testify. It might be helpful to understand that not all jurisdictions apply the same standard and how the different standards are related. This article is intended to address the problems associated with each insanity “test” presently in use and how “determining” insanity is an evolutionary process.

TL;DR: Guernsey et al. as discussed by the authors investigated how the affordances transpired within a technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) framework by four early childhood educators at a low-income family preschool.
Abstract: Today the ubiquity of mobile technology is apparent across all ages. Some of the key findings by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center indicate rapid growth in young children’s exposure to and consumption of different types of digital media as well as use of mobile devices (Gutnick, Robb, Takeuchi, & Kotler, 2011). Gutnick, et al. (2011) indicate that there is a drop in desktop computer ownership by 18% but an increase in laptop ownership by 31% among 60% of the families surveyed since 2005. Additional survey results indicate portability to be a popular feature in technology devices. According to Rideout (2014), the use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has grown in numbers for adults as well as for children. The affordances of these mobile devices have created opportunities for learning in some cases but also grave concern for young children’s development in other cases (DeCurtis & Ferrer, 2011; Patten & Valcarcel, 2007; Verenikina & Kervin, 2011). While there are studies to support positive outcomes for children using technology, McManis and Gunnewig (2012) explain that there are some essential components to how the integration of the technology into the learning environment should be framed. They indicate that the technology needs to be developmentally appropriate for young children, and be integrated into the classroom. Also, tools need to be provided to help teachers implement technology successfully. There is a growing global community facing the challenge of how to integrate technology into educational settings. Although there is much research looking at this general problem, early childhood educators are faced with the additional challenge of limited research within the context of the early learning environment (Guernsey, Levine, Chiong, & Severns, 2012). Early learning environments are a unique context that is different from other age levels (Guernsey, 2014). There is a need to explore what developmentally appropriate technology integration means and how to assist teachers to understand and implement technology integration successfully (Clements & Sarama, 2002; NAEYC & Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children’s Media, 2012). One of the obstacles in assisting teachers to understand and implement technology integration successfully is lack of time for professional development (USDOE, 2010). McManis and Gunnewig (2012) recommend providing built-in support and creating effective learning communities as identified by Galinsky (2012). In recognizing these challenges, it is imperative to provide insight through research on how to assist early childhood educators to integrate technology within their pedagogical and content knowledge. According to a policy brief published by New America, “the digital age brings a profusion of new challenges and opportunities for the field of early education” (Guernsey, 2014, p. 2). Guernsey (2014) proposed the need for redesigning the digital age architecture in order to reform the system working with the birththrough-third grade continuum, thereby enhancing the benefits and facing the challenges with deeper understanding. According to Guernsey, five goals to promote this effort were to 1) set high expectations for the use of technologies when working with children of birth-through third grade, 2) boost the workforce by preparing and supporting preand in-service early childhood educators to appropriately integrate technology, 3) enhance current assets by distributing critical information, 4) connecting researchers, educators, and children’s media industries, and 5) encourage evaluation and research in the area of digital-age interventions and appropriate technology integration with this age group (Guernsey, 2014). The purpose of this exploratory single-case study was to investigate how the affordances transpired within a technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) framework by four early childhood educators at a low-income family preschool. Early childhood education (ECE) is defined as education for birth to age eight although this study focused on the educators of preschools covering ages three to five. The goals of the research were to address the two specific needs: the need for evaluation and research in the area of digital-age interventions including appropriate technology integration with this age group and the need to boost the ECE workforce by preparing and supporting preand in-service early childhood educators to appropriately integrate technology. The research question for this study was how did the affordances of iPad transpired within a TPACK framework for early childhood educators?
