One troublesome problems the district will fret about will be the cost of each laptop for each student. Each chromebook costs around $200 to $250 and you will get many years of use out of them. They will stay up to date on their information unlike their hardback counterparts

In defense of laptops in the classroom” Summary/Analysis/Response (SAR) Paper Summary “In defense of laptops in the classroom” written by Rebecca Schuman, talks about the issue of why computers should be allowed in a college classroom. Schuman explains how people of the new generation use computers in classrooms doing almost everything in college now, rather it be taking notes or accessing course material, and it's more affordable for poorer students. Analysis Schuman attempts to use logos, structuring of her article, and has a good purpose to persuade readers of her agreement. Schuman wrote this article “In defense of laptops in the classroom” in order to persuade professors why computers should be allowed in the classroom and how you can combat them if the student isn’t paying attention, plus they are more affordable for poorer students because they’re covered by financial aid. Schuman focuses on this group of audience primarily because some professors do not like computers in their classroom rather it be because the student isn’t paying attention or is using the computer for non-class related things. Schuman attempts to reason the discussion of why computers should be allowed in the class is that it’s completely up to the student whether they use it for good or not. Schuman makes the point early on that she feels that the computer is not faulty, but rather the student who makes the decision on what use to use the computer for. Schuman exemplifies this problem when she

For example, children could submit papers and other typed assignments online. Teachers could also promote smaller fonts and larger margins for projects they want us to print. The school could also charge less money for printing double sided (15 cents per double sided page vs. 20 cents per 2 pages). This would halve the paper we use in printing. Moreover, the school could also make the attendance online. As every week every teacher wastes a sheet of paper this could drastically reduce the schools paper usage. Finally, we could promote GOOS paper and writing on both sides of every sheet as well as always recycling. If we follow all this, our school could become extremely environmentally

1. The statements that bring Jack and Frank back from their individualist or collectivist views is catching up and bringing up the past on what they did. While stuck in the alleyway, they talk brief about how either the job gets done or it does not get done implying that they did some sort of engagement in the past. Even towards the end of the film, they confront each other in the parking garage and talk about what happened to a family and the case. Even though Jack has a individualist concept while Frank is more of a collectivist concept, they both are drawn together through the past that they did and the friendship that they had.

On a daily bases people make excuses for everything. Everything meaning our actions and the things that we say. Common things that we make excuse for deal with sexist, racist, and heterosexist comments. Sexist is classified as saying that one sex is better than the other. An example of this is someone calling a male or female something that they are not. I do not like this because we are all humans and deserve to be respected and not called something that is degrading. We all know that racist is downgrading one race compared to another. An example of this is, saying that all black people are loud and ghetto. We all act the same but some people do certain things different from others. That’s just there way of living. I do not think that just because one person acts one way the whole race does also. Heterosexist is defined as heterosexuality is better than all other expressions. An example of this would be talking about how a guy dresses and calling him gay. I do not agree with this as well because it is good to stand out and be your own person not matter how others see you.

Aubrey, I loved how you started this discussion off with your own personal relationship to the issue. I cannot agree enough with the statement that our views, as an individual, are directly affected by the society with which we grew up in and our relationships with other people. Whether this be with people similar to our selves or drastically different. This truly speaks for the argument of color consciousness. From the points you made throughout this discussion, covering the reasons as to why people are more likely to cast prejudgment on those that are different from themselves, such as whites vs. blacks or lighter skinned blacks vs. darker skinned blacks, I find it very easy to agree with you. The explanations you provided make it easy to

Here at Visa saving paper and trees is a big goal. I always hear teachers say use both sides to save paper. So I think we can save a lot of paper and trees by doing everything digitally. Ed Sherretta from education world.com says that schools use 500 pieces of paper per week per classroom. He also said that this is the time to go paperless because trees are being cutting down by the second. I think that students will work with what they have. So if you give them paper they will use paper and if you give them a computer they will use the computer. Some might say that there is a risk to going paperless because the system can crash. I would tell them that going paperless doesn’t mean not using paper it means to use less paper. It’s about saving paper and trees. We could also save money.

Throughout time Native American history has changed a lot through the introduction and even the dominance of other races and cultures. Art, in general, is an important part of any culture; it works to tell stories and spawn emotion. Similarly, Native American art tells the story of a culture that has survived hardship after hardship. It portrays the history of a race, as well as an entire country. When viewing Native American art, it is important to keep in mind the struggles that many Native Americans faced, and still face today. It is also important to educate ourselves and others of stereotypes that are still prevalent within Native American Art. Although there are still false representation of Native American culture, as was described through

Bob Ross is an iconic television painter and art instructor, most famous for his show The Joy of Painting which ran from the late 80’s to late 90’s with hundreds of episodes. The show focused on showing how to paint intricate natural landscapes in a short amount of time using tricks like “wet-on-wet” which focuses on mixing oils before they dry. Despite being dead for some 21 years, he is still well known for his artistic prowess. Although most of his paintings seem as if they’d fit in on a cabin wall or the hallway of an office, the quality of color and seemingly perfect mixtures have impressed countless generations.

Philosopher say that reality is subjective. Have you ever looked at inkblot test that psychologist use? Ink blot is a great example of how people can view things differently; I can look at a picture and view it differently then some one else. People treat objects and events in her life according to their experiences and perception. Perception depends on the perspective of a certain person. Some people enjoy watching horror movies, and others consider them too scary or useless. Some people may horror movies to be provoking and filled with pointless pots. Peoples attitudes towards horror films depend on their acceptance of fear, death, anything against someone’s culture, and what an individual would consider evil in this world.

As college student completing my degree through an online format I am making a considerable smaller carbon footprint when compared to those students pursuing their degree through normal methods. I am considered a non-traditional student and therefore I would be commuting to and from school every day which contributes to the unavoidable pollution from operating a motor vehicle. I also produce less waste then a typical student due to all my assignments, papers and exams are all completed electronically which produces zero trash that either has to be recycled or taken to a dump.

Also, they will need to get Wi-Fi. Without that, no one can access their textbook or online work during school. And yes, students won’t have to deal with the weight of the textbooks anymore, but now they have to worry about finding certain cases or backpacks to carry their new tablet or notebook computer in. Not all backpacks are suitable to keep the laptop safe from harm. These harms can include theft, damage to tablet and many more. Theft is one of the biggest concerns. At the Miramar High School, they wanted to integrate technology into the curriculum for a project. (Gewertz). They issued out Apple iBooks to all of their students. 16 laptops were stolen; 10 by robbers, some armed with weapons, when the students were walking to and from school and 6 from inside the school when left unattended (Gewertz). With the massive storage of the tablets, it can be somewhat of a problem. Yes there will be a ton of storage but the student will feel tempted to download apps, games, and music onto the tablets.

I conceal my face with layers of makeup hoping that half a bottle of BB cream will be enough to make me as flawless as Kylie Jenner look on the cover of Seventeen magazine. I use innumerous acne medications, aspiring to be as unblemished as the girls in the Clean and Clear commercials. I reject bags of M&Ms and fudge brownies thinking that my sacrifices will make me “love my body” as much as the emaciated Victoria Secret models love theirs (see appendix A). I routinely shave my legs and armpits and pluck my eyebrows with fear of becoming the hairy woman the media deems horrendous. I do everything, yet feel like I am nothing. Nothing compared to the beautiful women pictured on television, magazines, and

THE COMMONS—Our high school department is all for change this year. During the past month we released our third volume of Healthy Alhambra. Students were taught the importance of replacing all paper materials with technology. Immediately following the Healthy Alhambra session students and staff were striped of their books, papers, notebooks, posters, and wall art. This became the first “No Paper, No Books, Save the Trees Movement.” that forced schools to use, eat, and breathe technology.

Since students in grades 3 through 5 typically learn better by incorporating all three learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) into their daily classroom work, instructors for these grades may find it easier to create and design lesson plans. Including sustainable development on a basic level into the curriculum at this age is generally not difficult because science and reading classes have usually touched on the subject of recycling or the environment. A simple, low-cost activity would be for students to make reminder plates for light switches and thermostats in their homes or schools (see Appendices A and B). This lesson allows students to be creative in designing the reminder plates and it allows them to teach their families and friends about conserving energy. Another easy, low-cost activity that can actually be done in all grades is creating bird feeders from milk cartons (see Appendix C). This lesson teaches students how to take already developed materials and reuse them to create something new. Students can also learn about how solar energy supplies more than just sunlight and heat to our planet by making solar sweet tea right in the classroom (see Appendix D). This lesson calls on students’ observation abilities and allows them to express their findings in their own words. The class may
