Say No To Screen Free Week Technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. Children have many practical purposes that they would need to use “screens” technology for. So by eliminating a valuable learning tool you are jeopardizing kids learning and making a drastic change in their effective daily lives. According to PBS LearningMedia research, 74% of teachers surveyed responded that using classroom technology motivates students to learn. (kurzweil,2015).Technology in the classrooms allows kids to take their education into their own hands with hands on learning.Screen Free Week will allow that many kids learning will begin at school and end at school, but if you say no children will be able to learn freely anytime with a touch of a screen.

What do you mean by ‘too much’ you ask, well, experts say that after about 2 hours negative effects start to ensue upon the kids. Teachers give too much homework in schools, and the reasons why include the fact that homework has discouraged children from participating in extracurricular activities, leads to a lot more stress for the students, and can have negative implications, academically, instead of the desired positive ones. Homework takes up a lot of time. Sometimes teachers give up to 3 hours worth of homework in one night. Kids want time to have some fun as well, such as electronics, video games, books, and etcetera.

So the question people should really be asking is Do violent video games teach kids bad lessons? Jack: This makes me think if video games are teaching kids bad lessons why would your parents let you play them? Cyrus: Maybe they don’t know it’s bad Children of authoritative parents are usually capable, self-assured, and popular in their social life.These kids usual care more for school and that usually makes the smarter. But if parents don’t support their kids they might get bullied more easily. Andrew: A opposite of what is here is Dylan Klebold’s one of the two shooters in the columbine shooting.

Maybe what should be considered is the serious lack of parenting and guidance some adolescents have. If they would trace the background of every person that did these shootings maybe they would see the flaws in their own society rather than the guns at hand. Or for parents to actually teach their children gun safety. Teaching gun safety at a young age would teach children to understand and have more respect for the gun. A lot of highschool kids sit in rooms playing violent video games for the majority of their time, what is that teaching?

Video games education is a method of teaching by using electronic games as the learning material. Teenagers from fifteen to eighteen, who have been called as “K-20 students” [1] or Net Generation since mid-1990s, playing video games as pastime leisure and expose to digital multimedia more often compare to the older generation. The issues of implementing video games education has been the subject of debate within education and sociology communities due to its appeal to contemporary students. Discussion among sociology scholars focus on the aggressive behaviour and hostility of youngsters who are involved in a video game in a great length of time and a specific type of games [2]. However, some academics argue that video game becomes an interactive learning platform of social education, especially with players verses players (PVP) games.

During this essay I’ll be conducting an observation amongst students outside of a school setting. For this study I collect about a 2 hour and 30 minutes playing PS4 with some friends. Mind you i didn’t tell them I was observing for a study I just acted how I would normally act amongst group laughing, telling jokes, and partaking in their conversation. Since we were playing video games and we are so competitive I instantly sought out to watch how everyone attitude was. The game was the determining factor depending on who ever was winning a losing there attitude was really happy or sad.

Schools, they are meant to help children learn right wrong, basic life skills, and how to become intelligent adults. Students start school around the age of three and stay in it for as long as they need; however, school are failing to turn students into intelligent working adults. Parents are told when their children are struggling and when they are succeeding, but are they really succeeding? Humans are strange creatures; we become upset about the strangest things, and labeling children is just as bad as eating their snack during snack time. When children hear that they are either good or bad they start to believe this.

Children around the world play adult content video game And many parents say it is bad for their children; however video games can actually help their children learn. Approximately 90% of children in the United States play video games, and more than 90% of those games involve mature content that often includes violence (Park, 2014). There are those that believe video games are detrimental to society, however playing video games including those with mature content can actually be beneficial to both individuals and society by increasing knowledge expanding the ability to react positively at real life situations and improving cognitive thinking skills. Children that play video games not only have the potential to increase their ability to learn right from wrong, and to improve their cognitive thinking skills the game can also increase a child’s knowledge. Video games show your child 's information from the past like modern warfare games show how it was like on the battlefield, Games can conclude their child memory of what would happy if they do wrong or they do right.

74 % of the respondents said that technology enables them to reinforce and expand on content and to motivate students to learn, 73% said technology helps them to respond to a variety of learning styles and 69% said educational technology allows them to “do much more than ever before” for their students. Some of the negative effects of technology in education is the misuse or even abuse of cellphones. Students are highly distracted in the classroom when they have their cellphones with them. Instead of participating in class and listening to the teachers, they use cell phones for online gaming and social media. They even use technology to just copy and paste data from the internet instead of interpreting information, generating ideas and creating new knowledge.Teachers and parents must then recognize the downside of these technologies and how to avoid them to make the best out of these

A bright student can get great grades on tests and love to do hands-on, difficult experiments, but even with all of their intelligence, they can still stress over homework assignments. That is because the homework load is so large that it is overwhelming. He never has time to have a healthy life for a child his age and it is a daily balance between grades, friends, and sleep. This is the problem with many students in middle through high-school. Homework is harmful because students can become extremely stressed, lose important development years where they should be learning how to socialize and they can even completely lose their appreciation for learning.
