Caula Rogers Eng-105 English Composition 1 03/30/2014 Dr. Victoria Smith Impact of ADHD on a Child’s Schooling Children with ADHD generally have trouble in school, only because school causes many trials for children with ADHD. ADHD is not a learning disorder; however it can cause children to have problems with learning. Furthermore, children with ADHD have an excessive rate of learning disorders and will have problems with other school-work like calculation and following a long with his/her teacher during direct instructional time. But with enduring and an efficient plan, the child will be capable of succeeding in the classroom. ADHD negatively can affect a child’s social and emotional behavior and the ability to control them in a positive manner in a school environment.
Students sometimes become so dependent upon technology that they are not exposed to the traditional ways of learning. Because some students might rely on technology in every area of learning, they might never experience what it is like to visit a library or read a printed textbook, especially since so many books can be purchased on audio now. Other disadvantages are that students’ handwriting skills might suffer due to a lack of practice because of their use of the computer to always write reports and essays. Always relying on the computer to find and correct errors while creating documents can result in students having very poor progress in grammar and spelling skills. Because many students also rely on the computer’s calculator, their ability to learn the proper methods of solving math problems might not be as enhanced.
Not all students learn the same way, therefore, teachers need to try different ways to to teach the material. Students also must learn to try different rules and strategies because the ones they are using may not be effective in solving their problems. Also, these children may have more problems working through these assignments because of their culture, the familiar cognitive landscapes, as Rose described it, have changed. The strategies and rules these kids have used before, simply won't work when applied to the new assignments that they are given. Could we also say that these new assignments are ineffective
An effective quality assurance system for online education Abstract Over the past decades, online education has become a more popular educational method by offering a new learning environment for students. With the rapid development of online education, educators start to realize that how to assure quality of online education has become an unavoidable problem. Firstly, a flexible and reliable Learning Management System is the basis; it is able to stimulate and activate students’ interests so that they acquire knowledge and skills much more actively and efficiently. Secondly, a well informed and trained instructor with a flexible contract is a key; it makes high quality online courses and universities can inspire qualified teaching stuff by providing flexible contract. Finally, a well educated and skilled student was evaluated reasonably by self, peer and professors is an influencing factor; it enables to students understand their overall academic performance so that they make consistent improvement.
When it comes to scheduling it can be great for those with families and jobs, online classes allow students to complete coursework on their own schedules to a very flexible extent. You can also get as far ahead in the class as you wish. Location is a great advantage as long as you have a computer and internet access you can complete your work anywhere. You do not have to worry about commuting, for some this can save hours of personal time not to mention money. Also when it comes to money the cost of taking an online course tends to be lower than attending your conventional classroom course.
Peer Assisted Learning Strategies (PALS) Effective Reading Intervention for Children with Special Needs? Classrooms today are filled with an increasingly diverse range of students. Many teachers feel unequipped to accommodate such diverse instructional needs of those with and without disabilities in their classrooms (Mastropieri & Scruggs, 1997; Vaughn, S., Gersten, R., & Chard, D.J., 2000). This is not due to a lack of effective reading interventions or instructional strategies, but is more about the inaccessibility of strategies that teachers can employ with large groups of students who have a wide range of academic needs (Vaughn et al., 2000). Through experimental research, only a few instructional approaches have demonstrated positive outcomes for students with diverse learning needs while being delivered in a general education setting (McMaster, K. L., Fuchs, D., & Fuchs, L. S., 2006).
City successfully demonstrated good understanding through an exploration of processing, reading, and fairness as they relate to the learning of a disabled student. While I was watching F.A.T. City I was thinking back into my days in elementary school where I have experienced many emotions and feelings that were being discussed in the video. I have experienced feeling alone, frustrated, embarrassed, and getting help with accommodations because of my hearing disability. I had to always sit towards the front of the classroom, so I could hear the teacher and I had to wear an FM system to help me hear my teacher clearly and to also be able to hear my peers.
Critics who support online education over classroom education often believe that both types of education provide students with an equivalent level of education, and therefore, should give students equal recognition. In “Online Education Rivals Chalk and Talk Variety,” Sandra C. Ceraulo claimed that, “I am impressed by the fact that my online students become as skilled as their peers in the traditional classroom” (Ceraulo 175). Ceraulo expresses that online courses give students just as good an education as traditional courses because students are able to master the material just as well, without having to physically attend class. On the other hand, critics who support classroom education over online education often believe that classroom education is more rigorous in education. In “Calling a University Virtual Creates an Actual Oxymoron,” Marilyn Kassar argued that “A university education involves, among all other things, debate, discussion, and an exchange of ideas among classmates and professors, both inside and outside the classroom” (Karras 180).
It would be unfair for teachers to use cell phones most of the time because not all students have that ability. There are ways to go around this issue. There are always going to be opposing sides to this argument. Personally I feel that there are solutions available for teachers who dislike cell phone use in class. For example for people who don't have cell phones can partner up with someone who does have one, or there can be school administered tablets each teacher has just in case.
(Project RED, 2010) The real issue is that some schools/ district restrict students from using technology in school to support their education. It is stated that schools have difficulty keeping up with new technology so they are either behind and have a hard time catching up or they just do not update their technology restricting students from necessary resources. (Education Weekly, 2011) Some forms of learning that students found benefitting them at home as well as in school involving technology is online learning. Some surveys and research has been done that proves that online learning or blending learning elaborates students’ learning and develops their skill. Along with e-learning falls a category called social networking which has increasingly caught the attention of a lot of school board officials.
