Better Jobs in School, Education Wise.

      The question is, how can schools do a better job keeping students engaged and excited about their education? I think there is one, and one reason only in keeping students excited and engaged in school, and that is technology. Technology is what students are based on these days and what keeps them occupied. I  have noticed that if students are just sitting in class then they are fairly bored, but if the teacher says ok, now we are going to library to work on this class assignment on the computer, then students i think become much more interested and pumped up, and that does show more motivation for students to do there work. I feel as though technology is the reason for getting kids more interested as technology is used in every day lives, and if that is the case then schools should be teaching students about education purposes on the computer. Teaching students technology will get them ready for there future as technology will become much more needed and more advanced.  
        Next year every student in bhs will receive a ipad tablet. By receiving this tablet i think students will be much more interested and interactive and in return see much less slacking. I think this tablet will be a great idea for students as eventually most education should and will be based off of the ipad as it will be more convenient to students as we love to type and use the computer. I think most schools see a lot of bad conduct out of students due to the fact that they just sit there and listen to a teacher talk all day, and take notes so kids gain energy due to relaxation and board um, and therefore if giving the privilege to do more things on the ipad then students loose there energy and become more awake and therefore will allow them to do there work. I think also typing notes on the ipad will be huge, as it will be more fun to take the notes, therefore students will take more notes instead of putting a couple of words down. Taking more notes will allow students to do better on test and quizzes and get better grades, as they will pay attention more. I think the ipads are going to be huge, as bhs is the first school in Massachusetts to get the ipad tablet.
         I think by giving the students ipads that it will improve grades and conducts in schools. I believe that if we are using technology that every student loves then grades will improve dramatically. I believe this because  students will pay attention more because education and technology are combined. I feel students will take more notes and distractions will be less, due to the fact that they are typing there notes from the class lesson. If students take more notes then grades will improve on test and quizzes and that it will make our school systems look better. I also feel that conduct grades will also improve as students wont feel the need to interrupt the classes and to get up and wander the halls as much. I think this because if they are distracted by the ipad and the learning on the ipad then they wont feel the need to get up. I think the ipad is a good new start to education and i think students will fall in love with it as we need a change in our education, as we have had the same education system for a while now, so get out the old and bring in the new!

ipads next year

The question is should students be able to download anything they want next year or should the school control it? Now personally i think that if we give students the privilege to download anything then they should be responsible and download educational apps and games, not apps inappropriate. I think we should be able to download anything we want because if we are in class and we need a app a teacher recommends then we wont be able to download it. I think that the teachers should trust us to use the ipads for only educational purposes and let us use them and not control or see what we do on the ipad, i think that students should respect the fact we have the ipads and use that privilege right, and not mess it up so they loose that privilege.

Homework debates

In the state of new jersey parents are complaining that students are getting homework on the weekend. They are planning to abolish it completely. They say that they work hard enough during the week that they should get a break on the weekend for the child health, rest and Well-being. They say homework over the weekend leaves to less family time and it makes students get more tired therefore loose interest more quicker. They say homework makes students not exercise therefore leading to obesity. if they teachers didn't give so much homework then there would be more time for after school activities. If we support this problem then it will lead to less health issues in students.
