Facebook Generation

I think we need to try and limit students and teachers from being friends on Facebook. I think that students and teachers should have there own privacy because if teachers become friends with students then students get into teachers lives and that could possibly cause problems in school in terms of grading and learning. If a teacher or students finds something surprising about the person they are friends with then it could cause problems like bullying and or if there a teacher grading on a student, like if a teacher reads something about a student that he or she doesn't like then they will be like this kid did this so I'm going to give him or her this grade, so teachers are there for one reason and that is to teach not to be Friends with the student, and if students become friends with a teacher and it effects there education then it is also effecting there future, and we need to find away to ban teachers and students from becoming friends with each other.

Ipads Passed to Higher Education

We wanted to use the ipads for school next year, and now colleges want to also use them, if colleges want to use them, the most advanced type of learning, then that means these ipads will probably be a good thing for our school, in terms of learning. I mean if colleges want to use them then they must be making these ipads more advanced for learning not just for a mini computer, they are very convenient too because they are small and easy to carry around. According to the college evaluation for these ipads the ipad reached its test for keeping up with the lightning fast paste of college so in that case they have been using them more often for learning. Studies show after examining the ipads for the 2010 semester 1 that the kindle was not that good of use after all and they much rather use the ipads due to the faster pace it can keep up with and the fact that the ipad can do anything the kindle can and more, so its a computer and a kindle in one which is very convenient. They said the most beneficial feature on the ipad is the sensitive fast touch of the touch scroll because it was so fast you are able to keep up with the class discussions during class, and research and look at things while your professor is  talking, so you can keep up with your professor, the same thing will be beneficial next year for us at the high school, in my opinion. Another beneficial  feature on the ipad is the highlighting of important information, and files that interest you, students say it is easier to highlight on the ipad than it is on paper, and printing is also easier because you highlight what you want to print whether its a file or just some important notes from class, and then you simply press print, students say its very beneficial in class. They said that there were also some down sides and that researching something on the web is a little slow, which made it a little difficult to research, but students say it was still fast enough to keep researching in class. Research also shows that the all touch keyboard is difficult to deal with when you want to take fast long notes but they said it is mostly good for short slow notes, the other down side is that it is very complicated to download apps and software's so they said you can do that on your own lap top, but it doesn't need to be done on the ipad, the ipad is mainly for learning and school. Other than some glitches in the ipad students love the ipad and got very attached to it using it for mainly school and studies. Some schools did not wait for the testing and right away got the ipads, but the money was the main issue, buying ipads for every student in schools in Arizona what not affordable, so what they did is bought 39 ipads and put them all in a ipad lab and students and teachers could us them when ever they wanted, but in my opinion that's a waste of buying 39 ipads and should just wait until you can afford them. Apple says that they are familiar with this unique software on the ipads and eventually want to make them more convenient and affordable for classrooms everywhere, so students will have a better and more efficient way of studying in class. I think that the technology these days is very advanced, and that every school and every student should have some kind of device for studying in class for the more fun, and different way of learning! 

banning cellphones

I'm not just saying this because I'm a student but you need to have some kind of communication outside of school with your parent or guardian, either for pick up after school or sports because if you need a ride somewhere after school or you figured out in school that you have a sporting event then you need to contact a parent or guardian somehow, and if you ever need to stay after for extra help one day but you forgot or didn't know until you got in school, you need to contact a parent or guardian. I also think it is okay to text your friends in between classes just to say hey, or maybe if you need something or forgot a book in your locker, and you can tell them to meet you somewhere and they can hand you a book. I read about it in this link i gave you and 100 students got suspended last semester in a school in Connecticut, now tell me that is not strict, i mean it is understandable if they were using it in class but not out of class, and even if they were using it in class then don't suspend them just give them a detention. So in my opinion don't ban cell phones, just ban them in class, by setting some ground rules, kids will hopefully become more responsible by following the rules and by giving them this privilege.

superbowl

I watched the whole Superbowl yesterday and the game was good because at first green bay was blowing out the stealer's but then in the second half the stealer's started coming back and that's when the game got very suspenseful. GB was always in the lead but in the middle of the fourth quarter is when it really started to get close. GB won and that's who was favored to win, and i wanted GB to win the whole time too,  so I'm happy for them. I liked the half time show for the whole setup of it the lights the dancing but i dint like the singing there really wasn't any singing in my in my opinion which caused the reviews to be bad if you want to have dancing involved and a good show to be preformed i think you need to have singing that is good for people to enjoy, modern day singing not singing that people are going to hate and the turn off the show and then loose all of your reviews.
