the reason why i believe facebook effects grades

personally, i do believe that having access to facebook on a comeputer effects grades. facebook effects grades especially when you are in a class and you are suppose to be writing a report on a something for your teacher and you are getting distracted by facebook. there are alot of students who have a hard time paying attention. there are many students who cannot control themselves and limit their time to which they think is appropriate to use facebook. im noot going to lie from experience, i have been in a curious mode and just wanting to read statuses and see what i have gotten as a message or comment. it gets really addicting for some students though. that is why i would reccommend that a teacher should have like a cerain device that shows every single students page and what they are doing on the teachers computer. so that way the student gets inmidated and is less likely to go in facebook when they no the teacher can see what they are doing through their computer. so i believe that this method would help imrprove grades greatly. im not saying to block facebook. ultimately its depend on whether the indivisuall student is mature or immature. the student will stilll have an oppoutunity to go on facebook in their own time, like for example they could go on faceboook during their down time. the author of the article said ; "Students who use Facebook and hit the books simultaneously found their multitasking led to 20% lower grades than those of their more focused peerstheir study, and when the student has down time. "

The flip

The flip was really cool, I really liked getting updated On certain things on the flip

Does your school teach students how their digital footprints can quickly connect them to the individuals, ideas, and opportunities that they care most about?

Does your school teach students how their digital footprints can quickly connect them to the individuals, ideas, and opportunities that they care most about?

i do not think that the school teaches students how their digital footprints can quickly connect themindivisuals, ideas, and opportunities that they care about. I think that i have benefitted from taking web 2.0 because I think my principle Mr. Larkin does a great job at teaching his class about digital footprints and how it could help us in the long run. i have learned many things from taking this class with mr larkin. he encourages us to be more social freindly to internet media. from him i learned that i could make money from posting things about a businesses. i could get other people's points of views on things i care about. i learned that i could also learn at anytime of the day with skype, because there are people out there that instruct. i think the students next year will have an increased understanding of digital footprints when they get their indivisual ipad 2's. :)

ipad education

the article is about how it is helpful for students to use the ipad for school. this student said that the ipad is almost perfect for students that are in middle school and highschool to use because it is like a functioning computer/ebook reader/internet device. which can do pretty much what you need it to do in a short amount of time. more schools now are embracing ipads because of this. they use the math and english apps on the ipad to help educate the kids. on the apps there are step by steps problems to help an indivisuals student learn in the classroom and also outside of the classroom. the ipad allows the students to correspond with teachers and turn in papers and homework assignments. "It allows us to extend the classroom beyond these four walls,” said Larry Reiff. he is an english teacher at roslyn.
