Sometimes in life we are faced with peculiar challenges that require unique solutions. This is exactly the type of situation my group found ourselves in when we were asked to redesign an English 110 class. We were only given five-hundred dollars to spend on this task. In addition to this the room we had to redesign only had four tables in it. In order to fit all twenty-four students in the classroom six students would have to share a table. Two students could sit on each side of the table and one on each end. This was not ideal because, in the best case scenario, there would always be four students that cannot see the board. If this was not enough, the room we were given was completely void of computers. My group quickly realized that in …show more content…
Students would be able to use these to right down ideas while brain-storming before a project. After this we spent, ninety dollars on an assortment of markers, spiral notebooks, and cardstock. The card stock could be used to create group outlines. These outlines would be followed as groups carry out projects and write papers. Lastly, we purchased four sixty dollar tablets, and a fifty dollar cabinet to store them in. We brought these tablets primarily for the purpose of doing internet research in class. However, these could also be used to play educational games on. At the start of each day the teacher will go over the daily agenda, which will be written on the white board. After this the teacher will give a brief lesson to the class. Once this is finished, the students will divide into their groups, and the teacher will meander about the class room offering guidance where it is need. On certain days the students will start their group session off by writing a journal in their notebooks or taking a collaborative quiz on their tablets. This would be followed by the group discussing the daily topic and completing there daily work. If the teacher needs to interrupt the group work he will be able to use his i-pad, which is connected to the projector, to put notes on the screen. This will be especially valuable when he decides that the whole class should hear the answer to one student’s question. Our class
Resources are selected as part of my formative observations and planning system and reflect the requirements of the EYFS curriculum (Early Education/DfE,2012). When observing children’s play, it allows me to identify the child’s interests, how they learn and what is required to develop their learning further. As a practitioner I can then provide varied opportunities within my planning to support development.(KS1)

iPads and tablets have become a popular choice of teachers in many classrooms worldwide due to the positive impact it has on the students. Tablets offer a wide variety of educational applications that have the ability to be downloaded onto the tablet for the students to use. The use of tablets in the classroom, “offer a unique home-school connection by providing students with a classroom experience that relates to the technology-saturated real world” (Blackwell, 2013, pg. 233) The use of iPads and tablets in the classroom provides students with a hands on learning approach to any
English 111 introduces students to critical thinking and the fundamentals of academic writing. This is a prerequisite English class for higher-level English education. By the end of this course a student will have gained a great deal of practice in the craft of writing. This essay will evaluate the English 111 textbooks, essays, self-reflections, the instructor, and what I personally learned.
I learned many new things from English 1102 class. It was not much fun but I learned some interesting things. For my research, I needed a topic that interests me. I first started to search topics from the chemistry field. I could not find any interesting topics then I came across an article that talks about how robots will take our jobs and every one would be jobless. After reading that article, I was really convinced that robots were bad for human society and people should be focusing on improving other fields such as medicine than wasting time and money in inventing a robot, which is one type of luxury and that, will take our jobs. So I chose this topic for my research. For further discussions, I started searching for some more article about robots not good for human society and I found that there was not much about the negative impact of robots in human society other than taking human jobs. So I was stuck but then I found an article that supports the robots. It was a good article and it explains how robots are useful in human society. The Article says that robots will create new jobs and benefit employers, government and disable people. I also found in one article saying that if robots will do our jobs humans can focus on bigger problems like finding cures for diseases, finding solution to prevent natural disasters and many more. Therefore, I decided to support the robot’s positive impact rather than supporting
In a brief statement, what is the most important piece of information in this document.
Thanks to the advantages of technology, teachers have difference ways to teach and share information with students. For instance, 10 years ago, white board is the only choice for teachers. The lessons are delivered by face to face communication between lecturers and students. They must come to class at the same time to study. Moreover, almost knowledge’s are selected from books. Nowadays, white board is replaced by projector and the lessons are shown on the screen
My experience into English 111 not only left me anxious, it became a self-revelation. My learning capabilities were challenged because writing did not come natural and the possibility of becoming a prominent writer were going to take a lot of time, effort and hard work. In spite of not knowing what to expect, I entered into this new semester pumped up carrying an “I can do this” attitude and feeling confident.
One student used an I-pad as their augmented device, another student relied mostly on PECS, and the other remaining four students are verbal and used PECS. In the morning students had circle time, in which students were welcome and greeted. Students were encouraged to dance or clap along to the morning jingle that played on the smart board. The teacher would model for her students how to greet teachers and classmates, and then have students individually greet each other.
Tablets in schools come with many pros and cons but ultimately, the world is becoming more and more advanced and technological. Schools need to keep up with the changes going on in the world. Tablets are extremely imperative in schools. People may view tablets as overly expensive, however, they are actually very cost-beneficial. Tablets allow for more learning in the classrooms, give students more and easier ways to learn and access information, and help students with disabilities that struggle in the standard classroom.
The advancement in technology is becoming a great benefit in the classroom. More students are learning to use their creative side, which is encouraging individual learning and growth. Through technology, students find it is easier for them to work together with others. The group members can join together over the internet and they don’t have to be in the same room. As there continues to be new improvements in the various types of technology, it is helping the student prepare for the real world.
That candidate makes promises about how they will behave in office, but in reality, they may act however they choose. No politician could please all of their electorate all of the time anyway. This is what we call a representative democracy.
Tablets are becoming a big hit in the industry nowadays. A tablet pc is a device that is like a hand held computer. Tablets have a touch screen function or a pen-enabled interface. Tablet application also entertains the users like playing games, photography, video taking, music and many more. Because the tablet has many functions, it would be a great help in school and at work. This device will act as a substitute to the required needs of a student in school. Tables application that are related to the school subject that is being teach, ebooks or electronic books can replace the heavy books and make distribution of assignments and handouts more faster. As I read in Weber’s book “In Cheap We Trust”, in her eighth
I can remember seeing that I had to take an English class my first semester of college. I was already overwhelmed with starting college, and having to write college essays made me get even more nervous. I sat down with my mom and decided to look at the English classes available, and I finally decided that I had to take an evening class to make it work in my schedule. The first day of English came and now looking back it was not as bad as I thought. It made me a better writer and be where I am today. It may have taken me some time to get where I am today, but at least I am on the right track. English Composition helped me realize that I am my own author and have strengths that I did not realize I had.
It was but ten meager months ago, that I was called away to the city of Cairnkeld, an old mining town in the scottish Hebrides Islands. There had been a strange illness in the town, like none had ever seen. The call was left unanswered for days, dismissed by inspectors akin to myself as tom-foolery. Their desperation spoke volumes of the veritude of their plight, as I of all people was informed of this.
