When students are not in school, almost everything they do is connected to technology in some shape or form. Teens spend nearly nine hours every day consuming media. Teens are spending more than one-third of their days using media such as online video or music, according to a new study from the family technology education non-profit group, Common Sense Media (Tsukayama). By using technology in the classroom, teachers are connecting with the student on a different level, showing them a new way to use their devices for educational use. Teaching students how to incorporate technology in everyday life is another positive reason to have it around the

Parental Involvement Plan Kaplan University Introduction of Early childhood Education CE101 Lynn Morrison February 18, 2014 Visualize you are working with children from the ages of 3 months to 8 years of age in a child care center. Majority of the children that attend the center are special needs and receives early intervention or on an IEP. Several of the children’s parents have a difficult time attending events, meeting and participating in activities that are held at the center, due having to work more than one job. The parental involvement is much lower than expected. The center has tried to increase parental involvement by making calls daily to remind parent of upcoming events, sending notices, but is not
With the same manner of complaining and clenching of teeth, we are doing now with the current teenagers. These technologies alter lives, entirely. However, it is a generational thing (Valkenburg, Peter, & Schouten, 2006). Let us begin with question one, is the technology affecting teenager's physical and mental health? The physical and mental effects on teenagers through technology are causing concerns for many parents and experts.
AN 310.1.1 Cultural Anthropology LESSON 5: Technology and the Family; Gender and Sexuality “How Technology Changed Family Life” As the Years have passed technological advances have made an impact on everyone, from children to the elderly, technology seems to have taken over the valued family dinners to more independent and less family quality time. Many may argue that it has kept communication very high and the importance it is to have a cellular phone, but the effect that technology has on families has greatly increased. Technology has improved our way of living, but families have also realized the negative effect as well. According to English- Lueck, it seems that although the boundaries between work and home has been dissolved and re-established by telecommuting many adults find themselves bringing work and worries home, interfering with family life. It has become very convenient for families to set up an office in their homes, in some instances parents have had to schedule a “mommy is working now” time or complete work after post bed time (English-Lueck 1998).
Kids still need to be limited on how often they are using the technology. Exposure to technology isn’t all bad, yet there are numerous negative effects of technology on children. Many parents face the complex decision of the right age of having a cellphone. With advertisements of cellphones showing their main characters as teenagers and preteens, the peer pressure on our kids today is overwhelming. Most teens have their first cellphone by freshmen year of high school, which seems acceptable.
Seek help from a friend, inform parents, teachers or the more experienced can be alternatives (Cassidy et al., 2009). A study which investigates the coping strategies of youth cyberbullying points out the most frequently used method is talk to someone about the event. The mean stated accounts for 67 percent among all other measures (Smith et al., 2004). Nonetheless, a massive portion of interviewee refused to tell teachers, or family members about their tragic experience (Hunter & Boyle, 2004). Informing teachers can be a powerful approach, if only teaching staff find a suitable way to deal with the complication.
In this time, children are exposed to approximately 40,000 advertisements per year. An average teenager spends thirty one hours per week on the internet and sixty three percent of teenagers read magazines. It is impossible to escape the media, whether it is at school, home, and work or in the general public. My personal routine is watching half an hour of television in the morning before school. In addition I will facebook for an hour then basketball programs and homework for two hours.
Cynthia Wagner states that, “The violent content of those games, particularly those favored by males, is of growing concern to families, schools, and policy makers. Gaming is participatory while television viewing is passive, so the risk may be greater that exposure to violent games will result in violent behavior.”(Wagner, 2004).With video gaming on the rise now, “Video games are in 80% of U.S. homes with children; they generated $6 billion in 2000 and $11 billion by 2003. All indications are that the industry will continue to grow at a healthy clip," says Professor Bradley Greenberg of Michigan State University. (As cited in Wagner, 2004, pg. 16)It has become a growing concern for adults who have begun to take note of the correlation between violent games and violent behavior in their children.
Stress and the College Student After reading this article I came to realize how stressful college really can be on a student. Also how serious it can affect ones wellbeing, not only mentally but physically. I seem to relate to some of the issues caused by college stress but not as much as some for example I have not developed depression or any eating disorders. I do face a relatively high number of stressors as a college student. It’s very hard to type a paper or study for a test when you have a nine month old that wants to get into everything.
