In the world of Teaching, articles about new ways to use technology in the classroom are everywhere. Every teaching blog, newsletter, magazine and seminar covers new uses of technology. Teachers are constantly told that you, students of the 21st century, use technology every day, are tech-saavy, and need to be taught WITH technology because that is how you learn best. We are also told that, in order to prepare you for the modern workforce, we need to teach you HOW to use new technology effectively.Respond to that idea. What do you think about it? Do you think that teachers could be more effective if they used technology tools (think podcasts, web videos, online discussion forums, electronic assignment submission, tech-related project assignments)? Are modern students technologically inclined? What about being a student in Utah? Do you think that being in Utah keeps you a little behind-the-times as far as technology learning is concerned? Would YOU do better if more multi-media was used in your classrooms to teach and present, and for you to demonstrate your learning and communicate?

you know what i think we should give everybody gaming devices such as computers to keep us on track with schooling its the right choice then while they are doing the homework they could get on facebook or play a game online or anything that has nothing to do with school is a great idea instead of the old fasion way where people got theyre assignment in class (hint hint) and did there freaking assignment so they can learn but thats a bad idea we should have known since 1903 because what would be a really really bad idea i mean a terrible idea is if we changed the schools so that instead of the incompetent government making our schools we could have all private schools and the state sets you off with some money to go to a private school and then if one schools core kmowledge is getting really good all of the other schools will go with it and that is just such a terrible idea i see no reason for this because then we would be learning what we want to learn and we would have things such as career based high schools so people can get the job they want and that would just make the whole schooling system collapse and all would fail the end.

Since we're reading Nothing But The Truth, which involves a boy who doesn't get along with a teacher, I want you to consider teacher-student relationships you've had in the past. Have you had teachers that you just got along with whether or not you did well in their class? Have you had teachers whose personality just didn't mesh with yours? Without naming names, expound upon these ideas and thoughtfully consider how personality differences or similarities have affected you in your classes.

Most teachers i have are evil because this school is so poor they have a certain librarian of whos name i shant give out which is a weirdo that is hardcore bipolar. but some teachers are very kind and help you with your stuff and some give you a lullaby of algebraic equations of pure sadistic terror and woe some just dont teach anything and give you homework and some classes are truely hard but with alot of our classes our school faces a true ordeal of hippocracy and shame because our school is said to give better knowledge to us but what we learn is entirely up to the teacher here and thus we live where minority rules and all does fault the end.

ode to wooden planks

dear wooden planks you are never recognized for all you do because for me you help me write down my assignments while you are in the form of a desk and you support the wieght of this keyboard i am typing on and you always surrounds me with warmth and insolation that makes me feel loved and at home i love you dear wooden planks you helpme with everything if i didnt have you then im not surewhat i would do wood is so essential and is often neglected but when used to make musical instruments your sound is of the angels when you are used to make stuff that looks good you look so beautiful when you are used to cook stuff you taste so magnificent and when you are thuroughly sanded you are so smooth and wonderful i love you dear wooden planks and so shall forever and until the end of time

How important is honesty to you? Is it more important than kindness? Share a story of a time you or someone you know was not honest and it caused problems or was 'too honest' and it caused problems.

I think that honesty is the most imortant because if someone asks you if you like something of theres and you dont they need to know the truth so that they will correct thier actions im just kidding i think that lying is bad and that you should not lie because it is bad and badness is the opposite of good and we should all be good to prosper and not be bad for bad is evil and not good and lying is thus bad and badness is an action we should not promote for it is bad . but kindness is also good and to deny that would be bad and not good but bad ao we should restrain from such actions for they are bad but we should be honest so if someone asks you something where tellin the truth would be bad and unkind well if you cant say something nice dont say anything at all to prevent saying bad the end.

The world is ending. There are natural disasters happening everywhere. You know that soon you will be stranded in your house with only the food left in your cupboards. You make a mad dash to the grocery store but everyone there is in such chaos that you know you'll only have time to grab one item before escaping with your life. What item of food do you grab?Describe what the food is, how long you'll wait to eat it, what it will feel like to know you're eating it for the last time. Will you share with your family? Will you hide it away until there's nothing else left? Will you eat it a little at a time or gobble it all at once? Describe every aspect of enjoying this last savory morsel of food.

well i would get something like moose goo which is the most disgusting substance i have ever eaten but contains like 1000 calories in 1'' cubed of this dispicible evil and once the world is ending i just wouldnt care i would just do stuff and play board games with myself and surf title waves and when there was an earthquake i would wear springy shoes and try to jump as high as i could and i would eat my last bit of food and say i wish it could be a taco for my last meal aand i would die the end.

Imagine that you have a superpower. The Power of Persuasion. You can convince anyone of anything. How would you use that power? What would you try to get, do, change? Would you use it for good? Or evil? Describe what the Power of Persuasion is.

If i had the power of persuasion i would use it only for good and tell obama to jump off a small roof into a glass of water and keep trying it until he finally was completley submerged under the water and then i would tell all the evil lawyers to be un corrupt or to stab themselves in the feet until they die. i would also encourage world peace and i would revert the government to its form in the 18th century where we wernt evil and taken over by the sadistic lawyers of evil. i would also persuade osama bin ladin to stop killing people and to stop selling weapons and be a hippie for 70 years or until he dies.
then i and after our nation has been saved from corruption i would go and buy ice cream the end
