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.
