Pros And Cons Of Dependence On Technology

Does our education system actually help us learn, or is it mere memorization of facts. I’ve come to this realization where “not-so-hard-working” students can obtain greater rewards than students who are more diligent. Most papers today are not original. With many open sources such as SparkNotes, Wikipedia, and Google, hardly anything that students create requires much effort. Honestly, is what I’m “learning” relevant?

In school, the teachers are focused more on our academics than our life problems. Although the school does teach us some of the basic life skills that we need, they do not teach us the most important ones that revolve around our lives every single day. “Though high school and college are excellent in

Is it worth the stress and anxiety most students have to feel accomplished? No, no it’s not. Students have lives outside of their school day and most of that life is being flooded by homework. Sports, friends, and other non-stressful activities are things that students look forward to, not academics. But when there’s too much homework, they are prevented from doing their extra-curricular activities.

Growth or Fixed? How do we teach our people to know there 's always room to grow, instead of always putting them down? We as humans, tend to have a fix mindset on many things, like school or work or whatever it is that you dislike; but to look at life with a different perspective, to grow, seems very far fetched. We are taught that we are worth nothing and will never achieve anything, which gives us a fixed mindset.

This aspect of choice is often limited in normal schooling, prohibiting children from becoming engaged and passionate about their schooling. The education model that was designed a century ago no longer prepares children for the expectations of the real world. Horn, 2013, explains that batching student together in a classroom, teaching them the same subjects the same way every day is ineffective when jobs today require flexible and diverse thinking and develop more specialised skills. Sitting in classroom, listening to the same information does not allow children to inspire and cultivate their individual talents and interests. Schools should be designed purely with the intention building on student’s academic and recreational needs.

Do not let anyone classify yourself as “smart” or “dumb” because you can be who you want to be. Nobody is dumb, they are just not trying hard enough. As it says in "You Can Grow Your Brain","At first, no one can read or solve equations. But with practice, they can learn to do it. " Have you ever thought of it like that?

For me personally I am in a class to learn the material not to focus on other things because at that point I don’t see how someone could really learn the material. I find that when I do one thing at a time and give that my full focus I complete the task so much faster than if I am multitasking. My unsuccessfulness with multitasking in class leads me to question anyone who says they can be successful at it. It just does not make any sense to me that someone can be listening intently while texting or checking an e-mail. Digital media in the classroom is almost a must now days, especially in college.

As Turkle described in her article, multitasking is hard to achieve and “when you choose hyper attention – you won’t be able to focus even when you want to” (29). Some people, like me, cannot multitask. When they try to multitask, they are simply going into hyper attention instead deep attention. As my experience in math section shows, when students try to do something and multitask at the same time, the information that students take in is very superficial. People might think that they are able to remember or process what happens, but the truth is that information only registers on a very basic level and there are no deep processes in the brain to think thoroughly about the detail.

Theme: Education Narrow : The cause and effect of online learning Lai Che Hui (1001541419) Loo Yee Qi (1001541775) Now a days, a lot of people of the frequently to use technology or electronic products in any way or any time and of course most important is the Internet. A lot of schools started to use online learning to replace traditional paper based teaching method and submit the assignment. Basically, online learning had been widely accepted and practiced throughout the world. There’s tones of online learning student around the world, but did they ever think about what are the benefits they actually enjoyed on online learning?

Everything became on tablets and laptops like books, so students will take to schools only tablets or laptops instead of carrying a bag. For example, in many schools they have stopped giving lectures in books and started using active boards because they are easier to write on. Students are obliged to study on these devices or unless they will fail their course. Education is important for each person on earth and at the same time they will achieve their goals that they have in mind. However, these devices diverts children in the classroom whether by texting or playing games.

Many times we (teenagers) say that we are going to do our homework or clean our rooms; but because of technology it becomes so difficult to just put down the cell phones, video games, laptops, etc. It seems like nowadays, kids are not even interested in

All technology is created differently and has different functions, there is a lot of technology that cannot be argued whether it has advanced education. Because there is technology that is in all classrooms today that teachers now would not be able to teach with out. This technology adds a convenience to teaching that makes it more efficient. For example, with a chalk board once you ran out of room that was it, you would then have to spend time to erase the board before continuing with the lesson. But, now with the new technology of Smartboards you never have to worry about running out of space you can just extend the page and keep writing.

Multitasking or switch tasking is inevitable, but we can control and minimize it when it comes to school if we really tried. There is no need for someone to be doing their homework and checking their phone constantly. Technology is a huge part of this generation and it interferes greatly with our lives. It is a huge issue, but it can be managed and

We integrate technology into our bodies, our lives and even the world around us. Even in todays society medical technological advancements such as pacemakers keep hearts pumping, and computers act as a social barrier as people are more likely to talk over social networking rather than meeting face to face. This can be seen through both my prescribed texts of Ridley Scotts “Blade runner” and William Gibson’s novel “Neuromancer” along with my related text of the 1956 film “Forbidden Planet”. “Blade Runner” directed by Ridley Scott emphasises its power as a visual medium to convey a multilayered text. The film is rich with visual metaphors and draws on various Intertextual materials.
