Most people, however, argue students should not be allowed to fill out evaluation forms. Although ratings by students can improve teachers in many ways, students should not be grading the professors since students don’t know about teaching. Their ratings might reflect personal opinions of whether they liked the teacher or not instead of focusing on how well the teacher taught, and students do not look back at their efforts they spent in the class. Sites have been created where students can express their opinions about their professors. The website named www.ratemyprofessor.com is one of these sites that allow students to give ratings and comments about their professors.
By applying this method, teachers will no longer have to deter from their lesson plans to force students to pay attention. Students will also benefit from the program, as they will no longer miss notes or assignments due to sleeping in class. This method can also provide use for students who do not follow directions, use a cell phone or other unauthorized electronic device, and those select students who fail to abide by the rules of the classroom. A dear friend of mine, of whom I hold in the highest regard, showed a less than enthusiastic reply to my “modest proposal.” He referred to my method as “unreasonable” and “overly exaggerated.” His main concern was that this method would cause more distractions in the classroom. He reasoned that the students would overreact to the shock and cause a disturbance.
Here, work is judged on getting the answer correct, it is freer for students to make decisions, teachers communicate more with the students, but creativity still does not have a place in the classroom. These students have more of a chance to get out of the socioeconomic
Abstract Children with emotionally disturbances (E.D.) need structure and discipline in the classroom to not only be successful within the school environment, but to be successful outside of it as well. The teacher has to be firm with the students while also maintaining their respect. Because of their emotional imbalance, what happens in the classroom can affect the outcome of what happens at home, peer relationships, and school social activities outside of the classroom. This paper describes a few methods and components that can be used to teach students with E.D.
These students log on to the classroom website. They read and study the material and assignments. However, the read-only participants do not participate and interact with other students in the classroom discussions. Read-only participants do not contribute in anyway. This is the most apparent when their assignments require a learning team environment.
How Technology Boosts Academic Success Eddie Clark COLL100 UMUC Joe Smith How Technology Boosts Academic Success Technology is growing fast and changing education in many ways. According to ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology, 86 percent of college students have laptops for educational purposes and 60 percent of students own smartphones. Many schools and other educational institutions are trying to adapt to technology to benefit and increase how and where people learn. Online learning is changing how people look at higher education. To think many years ago who would have thought that a person can get a degree sitting down at a computer with an internet connection.
There is no doubt that technology is a part of our daily lives, from social media, to tablets, and cellphones. It has practically invaded every aspect of our lives today. For college students in the 21st century, they have not known life without technology. The use of technology has created a peculiar lifestyle for them as they use it to study, take notes, sync calendars, hangout, and prepare for the future ahead. In today’s society, personal relationships and business relationships flourish through technology.
Students across the country have relied more and more heavily upon methods such as copy and paste through the use of the internet, sharing and conversing about online tests or quizzes and the newest of the innovative technology, texting answers to classmates. Teachers must make an effort to distinguish what is right and wrong in conversing with peers and looking to the internet for help. Conversing with students for answers is tolerated when instructed to do so and is vital in developing communication, problem solving, and critical thinking skills in students. However, when used array such as conversing answers on an online quiz only serves as a hindrance to the academic success of the student. Internet, in the same fashion is a great source for learning if the right sites are used and the use of the internet is permitted on an assignment with appropriate referencing and works cited included, but the ever so in-famous copy and paste does not benefit anybody in the process.
Essay #1 – Online School - Persuasive Online School While the world wide web has been around for more than a twenty years, we continue to learn from what technology has to offer. Online education is one of the ways that students, not only learn about specific subjects, but also allows education to reach students who may not otherwise be able to commute to a physical educational setting. Under most circumstances, once a student has committed to taking an online course, there are very few excuses for absences. Typically, online requires participation and deadlines; however, between the scope of the required work, there is flexibility as to the individual timing of those requirements. There are many reasons why this arrangement works for some students.
It is interesting to observe that several students prefer to follow projection slides and handouts rather than attempt to balance printed materials on their laps whilst holding their instruments. Inclusive technology can help motivate learners. To counteract any isolation this might engender, I take particular care to involve those students in discussions and feedback. I also gather suggestions and answers, or try and clarify points of confusion, on a whiteboard that helps to involve the students in a shared experience. The bulk of the lesson time is usually spent in practical work of some sort.
