Parents often expect their children to go to a good school and getting high education. It actually was not hard for the youth since we got used to the expectations, and we did not have advanced technology back then. Then things changed, I moved to America where people had everything i could imagine. I got my very first laptop from my mom for my birthday. Soon after, I started making friends in high school and learned to communicate with them via E-mail, Yahoo, Facebook etc.
The cost of a projector and a desktop computer is estimated to be around $500.00; maybe less if you buy in bulk. This will not affect the finances of most colleges because colleges charge every student a fee for computer use every semester at Delgado its $60.00 and several classes already have these items in the class. Many teachers use their notes through applications like power point and Microsoft Word to teach their students as they lecture. Professors could use the electronic book in class; moreover, showing the pictures and information the students need through the projector. This allows students to have the option of bringing paperback books to school each day.
Computers did not exist in their generation, so they never learned to how to use them. The traditional students are more familiar with today’s technology, their knowledge is more advanced. Older students are better with reading and writing skills, due to experience and better education. Traditional students have better knowledge of computers, as they are taught in school. Traditional students are weak in reading and writing due to the “No Child Left Behind Act” implemented in 2001.
I didn’t get one until my second year in middle school. I knew what a computer was, just was not able to experience what it could do or what it was capable of. Knowing that all of my friends had a computer of some sort it made me feel kind of left out, because when I’d hear them talk about how fast and cool their computers were. I felt like I wasn’t able to join the conversation for I truly didn’t know much of PCs. Except for word processing and mouse clicking, besides there’s not much to talk about there.
Our teachers were very old and wise so they knew that this wouldn’t just be a learning experience for the 8th graders but also the 1st. They learned that civil literacy meant that they not only needed to worry about themselves but helping someone else out. I went through this stage as an 8th grader and was one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to socialize, have fun, go on field trips and other fun activities with my very own 1st grader. The thing is this doesn’t go on in every other grade school; those other kids that don’t get this option are stuck.
The Year-Round School Debate Year-round school (YRS) episodically surfaces as a subject of school reform. Interestingly enough this is not a new topic of debate; however, the reasons for implementing the reform have changed some. Year-round schools do not require the children to increase the number of days they attend school, the days are just dispersed more evenly throughout the year. As Hermansen (1971) states the concept of YRS has been around since at least 1840 when many major cities had school years ranging from forty-three to fifty weeks. These mostly industrialized cities had an enormous need for children to learn English.
The Swedish furniture industry was largely fragmented during the 1950’s; dominated by small retailers who were not able to take advantage of economies of scale. The direct result of this was many manufacturers offering expensive items to retailers, who then further marked up the products so that they could turn a profit. This business model appears to have been present in many of the nearby European markets. Due to the enormous expense of furniture during this period in time, many pieces of furniture were passed down from generation to generation. To change the price structure Kamprad designed sleek functional furniture which was able to be produced on machines and thus cheap to assemble.
When I first opened the test, I realized that some of the topics included were never taught. I didn’t miss any math classes throughout the year, so I didn’t understand why the questions were so difficult. I was nervous to get my test results
Anne School. It allowed students to fix their educational gaps and it prevented them from falling back in their classes. It also instilled in the students a time management skill that would benefit them in the long run. Unfortunately, there are not many tutors and after school teachers to go around. Many students end up leaving without understanding their math homework or any type of homework.
We (college students) certainly know how to use the these technologies, so well in fact that 44% of us use the Internet for more that 15 hours or less a week. Thats a least 2 hours a day, which would seem a little low for the people i surround myself with. Maybe i need new friends? It comes to no surprise that technology is a huge part of any college students life. why wouldnt it be if your able to check your grades from the comfort of your own, probably not so clean toilet seat right?
