Have you ever had a heavy backpack? Most students that go to school will experience the inconvenience of heavy backpacks. Schools require students to use a vareity of school resources to complete classwork and homework. These resources include textbooks, binders, workbooks, paper and pencils, and more. All of these resources tend to add up when they are crammed into a students backpack. The weight in students ' backpacks are not only inconvienent and inefficient, but it is not healthy for students or the enviorment. Students will continue to be ineffcient unless student 's resources are digitized.
Student resources will continue to be a problem for most people unless they are digitized. For example, having heavy backpacks are not practical when going from class to class, or from home to school. The students are trying to make it to class on time, while hauling a heavy back pack. Also, the long term effects of carrying heavy weight often on the shoulders and back while

So what is the soloution to this problem? Schools should digitize student resources. All of students ' textbooks should be online, and students should be able to access it from home and school, on any electronic device. Workbooks, writing papers, and any other writing assighnments should be typed on a computer, ipad, or other devices. This change will benifit everyone. Students will be more functional and they will have less back and shoulder pain. Lastly, the enviorment will be saved because precious natural resources won 't be wasted.
Now some might say that the process of digitizing school resources is too expensive. To solve this, the school would set up fundraisers, to raise money for the upgrades. Parents, teachers, students, and other faculty can host bake sales, movie nights, car washes, silent auctions, candy drives, and more, to contribute to the funds needed to purchase the new resources. So, send letters to your school 's principal, and ask he or she to consider this modern
1Dear Principal Molony, The donated money should be used in the eight grade math and reading classrooms because it will improve the focus and attention of the students. The students' self esteem will go up which will let them participate and do more to benefit the classrooms. They will also be less antsy because they will be focused on work, and not worrying about their uncomfortable seats. Here is what the seats are going to be like: there will be three couches, four to five bean bags, three wiggle seats, one recliner and two big tables the wiggle seats will go on the table chairs.
“In-Forming”, an app described as an individual 's ability to provide themselves with their own personal supply chain of information, knowledge, and entertainment, has impacted Danville by decreasing the amount of effort students have to put into their work and assignments, and by giving every person in Danville access to others in and out of the small town. Students of the Danville Area School District used to have to lug around large textbooks for every class, go to the library to find information for assignments, and write with actual writing utensils, but now, because of the world wide web, old standards required for learning have “left the building.” With a simple search for a textbook title on “Google,” students are able to access large
At Apollo Career Center, there are a lot of people who bring stuff like chew, dip, and vape pens into class. Even though they know that they are not supposed to do it, they still do and get suspended for it. They are wasting their time and money by coming to school and then getting suspended. They are also wasting the teachers’ time by pulling them away from teaching so that they can deal with the chewers, dippers, and vapers. If the school had a person at the entrance to the building to search their bags and pockets for those items, it would save time and money.
Saltillo High School no longer assigns lockers to students, but it should. Students will often have multiple books and binders to carry home every day in their bags resulting in a sore back and shoulders from the strain of the heavy backpack. The lockers are already in place, so allowing the students to use them would not cost the school any money. There really is no reason why the students should not be able to have access to them.
Authors do a review of literature on the topic of at risk students to see if technology will help them excel in writing and reading. Researchers included many factors that needed to be considered before making a decision about the benefits of using technology with at-risk students. The data can be used in either a qualitative or quantitative study in the future. Castek, J., Hartman, D. J., Leu, D. J., Coiro, J., Henry, L. A., & Zawilinski, L. (2007). Thinking about our future as researchers:
Should teachers be allowed to carry? Carson A. Lovin Devils Lake High School Shootings across america are not a new thing to us, in fact they have been going on for quite some time now. “The United States has 88.8 guns per 100 people, or about 270,000,000 guns, which is the highest total and per capita number in the world. 22% of Americans own one or more guns.” (https://gun-control.procon.org/) Whether it be school shootings, mall shootings, or even shootings in a church, we know that it is going to happen again and it has in the passed.
Things I Carry The things I carry to school are to ease my job everyday. I carry my backpack so it could hold all my other materials which I need to carry. I carry extra pencils in case of loss of my actual pencil. One day in January, my mechanical pencil ran out of lead during a math test, and I had to waste five minutes to get another pencil.
From the modernization of E-rate to the proliferation and adoption of openly licensed educational resources, the key pieces necessary to realize best the transformations made possible by technology in education are in place. Educators, policymakers, administrators, and teacher preparation and professional development programs now should embed these tools and resources into their practices. Working in collaboration with families, researchers, cultural institutions, and all other stakeholders, these groups can eliminate inefficiencies, reach beyond the walls of traditional classrooms, and form strong partnerships to support everywhere, all-the-time learning. Although the presence of technology does not ensure equity and accessibility in learning, it has the power to lower barriers to both in ways previously impossible.
The change of speed in today’s society has increased dramatically, we are expected to process information at a faster rate. There is no time to sit and read new information, we want to be flooded with new information fast. While the technology in the world has increased most schools are moving slower. Most schools do not have up to date technology for their students to succeed in the real world. We can say this is a good thing to have less technology in school, because we can go back to the old days and research of the books.
This allows school districts with little or no money for building expansions to handle a growing student population and save millions of dollars in construction costs.” (Nair 2). Saving so much money could help schools afford better teaching equipment, which would most likely improve student grades. Next, a drawback is that it could be hard on families if the children have different school schedules. The change could make it difficult to plan a family vacation, go to summer camps,
In today’s modern society technology plays a huge role in everyday life. Technology has a big position in education. Today students use laptops for school on an everyday basis to take notes, work on assignments, and research. Many people agree that, when it comes to education, technology can either be very harmful or very helpful. Timothy D. Snyder, a history professor at the University of Yale has written five award-winning books.
Carrying textbooks can cause back pain 1. Common textbooks are big, bulky and even take a lot of space. Some textbooks can have around of thousand pages. Shouldering a hefty load can cause back pain, according to a study by researchers at the University of California in Riverside. 2.
It would put the student in grave danger. If something happened to the student this would cause a parent to sew the school. In my opinion That money could be used for greater things to benefit the
In the classroom, technology can encompass all kinds of tools from low-tech pencil, paper, and chalkboard, to the use of presentation software, or high-tech tablets, online collaboration and conferencing tools, and more. The newest technologies allow us to try things in physical and virtual classrooms that were not possible before. Today, I cannot imagine how difficult it is to teach without technology and how hard it is to learn without it. Technology plays a major part in our lives as students.
Technology: A Distraction in Life New modern life circled with technology gadgets. Technology has been progressing quickly which has become an important part in our lives which is harmful for our body. Many people have been using these stuff to communicate with each other, play games, listen to music, or discover a new culture. However, it may also have some positive impact in which it can help students in their daily life to get some information out of the internet to solve their homework or other things. For example, adults use these instruments at work and students at school.
