...today? I believe yes, because technology is already making students lazy with just simply listening to music, doing research and other assignments done on the computer, and incorporating computers in the classroom setting will just hinder the students in the long run when it comes to knowing the information on paper. Think quest, an organization that studies the educational system of America in the colonial and post-colonial time period and author of the article American Elementary Schools in the early 1900s says the first formal school appeared in the 1630s. Boston Latin School was opened in 1635, and is considered to be the first town-supported school with a continuous history (par.1). In the middle colonies, such as Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, education was left to the governor and church groups (par.1). The rich children in the South had tutors that were from England. It wasn't hard to become a teacher, anyone who could read or write was allowed to teach, as long as they believed in the Church (par.2). The teaching styles in the 1900 were really strict, the boys and girls did not attend the same class, and if the kids were to act out of place or be disruptive they were to beat by their teacher, this was the teacher way of disciplining the child (par.4). Also during this time the classroom setting was no more than 20 to 30 students per grade...

...better identify and understand speech in noisy situations and over distances of up to 50 feet. Some FM systems work together with hearing aids, while others are designed for those with normal hearing. It works like this: the person speaking wears or holds a transmitter microphone (or places this in the middle of a group). This transmitter picks up important speech sounds and uses harmless radio waves to send these to one or more FM receivers, which a child wears behind the ear (e.g. connected to their hearing aids). The result? The child hears the speaker’s words directly in their ears, without any distracting background noise, allowing them to enjoy and participate fully in a conversation” (phonak.com) It has often been used for students that are mostly or partially deaf but is becoming more prevalent in classrooms, not only for those students with hearing difficulties, but those with ADHD or autism. The reasoning behind why the FM listening systems work is because they do cut out a lot of the outside or background noise. It helps a student that may be having difficulties with concentration, focus better and not become easily distracted. These systems are also able to be hooked up straight to a computer and the computer program speak to them just like it would through headphones. For a student that needs something to help them hear better, focus more, or guide them as they go through school, this could be the tool. Based on a journal reading, “the studies that have...

...CIPA: Internet Filtering in Schools and Libraries Minors are being exposed to more adult content today due to the Internet. The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was created to prevent children from accessing obscene or harmful content in schools and libraries. Yet there are groups that want to abolish the law because they feel it violates their first amendment rights of freedom of speech. CIPA is trying to protect children from viewing content not intended for them just like an R rated movie is not for children under seventeen years of age. Internet filters are needed in schools and libraries to keep minors from accessing sexually explicit, violent or otherwise adult in nature content. CIPA ("Federal Communications Commission: Children’s Internet Protection Act," 2014) was first passed into law in December of 2000. Schools and libraries that received federal E-Rate funding and discounts must certify that they have internet filtering to prevent minors from viewing obscene or harmful content. “Schools subject to CIPA have two additional certification requirements: 1) their Internet safety policies must include monitoring the online activities of minors; and 2) as required by the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act, they must provide for educating minors about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms, and cyberbullying awareness and response.”("Federal Communications Commission...

Palmares, BSIT Kevin F. Zaldarriaga, BSIT June 20, 2012 CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING A. INTRODUCTION With the rapid phase of the changing generation, the youth is now more demanding in acquiring technologies that will suit to their needs, especially when it is applied to their studies. However, many students are spending a lot of their time in social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and other social networking services while spending less time on their studies. This occurring incident aroused us to look into social networking sites and how they affect the student’s academic performance. In this study, the researchers will review how social networking sites might affect the productivity of students. Social Network is one of the reasons affecting the student’s productivity in school. Because of these, students are lacking concentration to the lectures on their subjects. Most students are not paying attention when the professor is trying to explain the lesson or giving the instruction of what to do, the students are busy browsing social networking sites, and that would end up that the student will ask his/her sit mate...

...Online verse Traditional School Melissa Hicks COM/155 Online verse Traditional School Although online and traditional schools are similar because they offer the same education, have teachers, tests, and curriculum, they differ in scheduling, classroom setting, and face-to-face interactions. Students are finding it much easier to maintain a family, job, and school all at the same time. This option was made possible by taking courses online. As one may find it easier to further their education online, there will be some that find learning in a traditional setting will be easier for them. Traditional schooling is the oldest form of education, it allows students to interact face to face and ask important questions concerning their classes. You are able to interact and gain new friendships. Online schooling is providing a “new age” twist on education. Virtual classroom settings and message boards offer a variety of different learning techniques. Instructors can interact with students in real time through the virtual class based setting. Online schooling is becoming increasingly popular, especially to people with limited transportation or who live in rural communities. With the easy access to online schools, many people are able to obtain degrees from colleges out of state that they would never have been able to go to or afford. Some may see online school as an easier way to receive an education. However, online classes require complete dedication and excellent time...

...upcoming work incidences. Unluckily, substantial evidence exists to designate that such goal isn’t being achieved, particularly for kids manifesting learning problems. Because the initial dispiriting outcomes of arithmetic accomplishment discovered with State Evaluation of Schooling Progress (SESP) during 1974, insufficient evidence exists to indicate that arithmetic accomplishment has increased considerably, particularly for learners with impairments (Spinelli, 2012). The intention for this research is to identify technology effectiveness towards fundamental arithmetic fluency. As a component of the classroom educational involvement, the research was carried out with ten learners with fair to stern cognitive impairments registered into a school of special training. This five-week research employed a solitary-case turnaround plan (ABAB). Data examination involved visual along with numerical techniques of analysis. Four major results arose. Foremost, results showed this campaign of having an affirmative impact on essential math smoothness. Secondly, findings illustrated that trainers discovered that technology (iPad) contained an affirmative effect on leaner participation as well as concern within content. Lastly, the results...

...asserts control over a computer without the consumer's knowledge.[1] "Spyware" is mostly classified into four types: system monitors, trojans, adware, and tracking cookies.[2] Spyware is mostly used for the purposes of tracking and storing Internet users' movements on the Web and serving up pop-up ads to Internet users. Whenever spyware is used for malicious purposes, its presence is typically hidden from the user and can be difficult to detect. Some spyware, such askeyloggers, may be installed by the owner of a shared, corporate, or public computer intentionally in order to monitor users. While the term spyware suggests software that monitors a user's computing, the functions of spyware can extend beyond simple monitoring. Spyware can collect almost any type of data, including personal information like Internet surfing habits, user logins, and bank or credit account information. Spyware can also interfere with user control of a computer by installing additional software or redirecting Web browsers. Some spyware can change computer settings, which can result in slow Internet connection speeds, un-authorized changes in browser settings, or changes to software settings. Sometimes, spyware is included along with genuine software, and may come from a malicious website. In response to the emergence of spyware, a small industry has sprung up dealing in anti-spyware software. Running anti-spyware software has become a widely recognized element of computer security practices, especially...

...your life. When looking at which school I was going to attend, I had to look at all aspects of my education. One of the first questions I asked myself was should I attend an online school or go to a traditional school? There two choices when looking to obtain a college education; the choices are online education or a traditional education. Online and traditional educations have many similarities but their differences with classroom settings, classmate interaction, and the instruction methods can be difficult for many people. The most important difference of online and traditional education would be the classroom setting. Online classes are defined as courses that are offered primarily or exclusively through the Internet. (Blank, 2012) Online students can learn from anywhere, they have access to a computer with Internet access. A student can turn in homework, take an exam and listen to a lecture while at home, traveling with the family or even sitting in the waiting room of a doctor's office. Students can complete their classwork at any time of day to fit any schedule. An online education may be best for you if you are a single parent, have a busy schedule, or you want to learn at your own pace. Some online learners may find online classes boring and have difficulty concentrating on the material that needs to be remembered. For these students a traditional education may be a better match. Traditional classes are taught in a classroom setting. With traditional education, you...

...on how and why other electronic systems and software are used in different contexts across both health and social care sectors. There are a range of technologies used in HSC and I will assess the impact and/or important of each. A hardware which is used across all health and social care sectors is the computer; this is the most used hardware in all HSC settings since it enables access to a variety of software. In a in a hospital, for example, a computer is extremely important since it handles medical data and has all records stored onto software on the computer. Without having computers in a hospital, medical bills, prescriptions, medication, details of patients and so on, would have to be written down on paper which takes up an enormous amount of time, and if lost, this means it would result in major problems since there is no extra copy. Therefore, the use of computers are very useful in hospitals because data can be backed up if lost or data can be even printed out which saves time and enables hospitals to run more smoothly. Software, such as Electronic...
