Computer Effects on the Academic Performance of Students - Review of Related Literature

Throughout this course, a new perspective has provided us with the opportunity to take a look at many of the different ways in which the digital world has become one of the most dominant viewpoints of today’s generation, and how technology has taken over and welcomed itself into many aspects of our lives. This course paper will take a look at one topic of interest in particular, which in hopes will shed some light on a heavily discussed topic in the education world: does technology help or hinder the student. This paper will look to prove the point and discover more about the way in which technology has been incorporated into the classroom, both in an elementary context as well as a post-secondary context, and the effects that it has had on the student, the teacher, and the overall academic development that accompanies it.

One of the most complicated experiences in life, love cannot be precisely defined, but some basic indications help to characterize the feeling. Love is a very deep, passionate affection one person has for another or a relationship of the same nature that implies a unique intensity of emotion. It requires an especially strong connection and compatibility between two people, usually identified by a total understanding and respect for each other and a fundamental similarity in ideology. Love can also be seen in the way it alters people’s normal behavior; when someone is in love, the object of their affection seems like the most important thing in the world, and they do extreme things for that feeling to be requited. Love cannot easily be

Modern technology has penetrated every aspect of our lives and made great impacts on our daily activities, especially in the area of education. The continuous infusion of technology in education has become an unchangeable tendency. Given the increased use of technology in education, much research has been done on the value of technology in education. However, none of the studies have answered all of the questions that are essential to determining whether continuous infusion of new technologies in education can improve the quality of education. Since a clear answer to this question is vital to help educational organizations to make decisions on how much

What is the difference between infatuation and love? This has been a topic of conversation for years, and yet we still have never figured out the exact answer to the question. By Webster’s Online Dictionary the definition of love is “affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests”(Webster’s). This is precisely how Edna Pontellier believes she feels about Robert Lebrun in “The Awakening” by Kate Chopin. Although on the contrary the definition of infatuation is “to cause to be foolish : deprive of sound judgment”(Webster’s), and this is more so the truth for Edna. Her need for freedom is so strong that she finds herself turning to other men just to satisfy that need. Her actions are completely opposing to her thought

The principal relationships that are driven by passion are referred to as infatuated, romantic, and fatuous love. “...Infatuation is a short-lived passion for someone whereas love is a deep affection for someone that lasts the test of time.” (Infatuation vs. Love). This kind of relationship is developed without intimacy or commitment. In result of two out of three lacking components from the triangular love theory infatuated love can unexpectedly and without a warning disappear

Infatuation is an exciting, exhilarating kind of feeling towards another person. Infatuation is a physical feeling. With it, you only see another person 's good personality traits or only their positive sides. If you do see negative qualities in that person, there is a tendency to ignore them, or excuse them in some way. When you are infatuated with someone, you want him or her to be with you right away. You generally have sexual feelings and shallow desires to be with them. You feel like if they leave for two seconds you will perish in misery. Love is much more mature than that. When you are in love, you don 't always need to be with the person you love. Sometimes space is what you need to help your love develop and become stronger. Another difference between love and infatuation is that infatuation is more of a total devotion of the person 's physical aspects that focuses on shallow qualities such as physical appearance, intelligence, athletics, or popularity. When you are infatuated, you are blind to your partner 's faults, bad habits and weaknesses. You only see who you want to see and you believe the person you have fallen for is perfect in every way for you, when in reality, they may not be. With love, you do not give everything you are, devote your entire self, mind body and soul to the other person. With love you are still an individual and still hold things that

Common criticism of the use of technology in education is that value is not added to the educational processes or outcomes. Many believe that technology represents an additional cost, extra time lost during teaching and may not properly address the many struggles to improve learning for students. Indeed, many find older versions of computers that have no source of power or the inability to provide basic functionality provides no use for the classroom and would rather teach traditionally. For example, Mike Trucano researched schools in Africa and recognized a school in Kenya who acknowledged they had one computer lab of which the computers laid unused because the school did not have any teachers or students who were trained well enough to use them. Indeed, many studies conclude that “simply putting computers into schools is not enough to impact student learning.”

Love is one of the most beautiful things that an individual can experience. It leads people into doing things that they would not do in their original senses. According to the dictionary, love is “ an intense feeling or deep affection for someone.” Even though love seems to be the best thing on earth, it can also be the worst. When love is not not mutual, feelings can be hurt. Most people experience the negative side of love one time or another in their lifetime. Even though society sees it as love, it can sometimes be mistaken for lust. Someone’s most dramatic time of love (or lust) is usually during their teenage years when they are more more exposed to the things happening in this world. As hormones kick in, life becomes an everlasting

For many centuries, men have been pondering what the definition of love is. How does a certain individual captivate someone else's soul? Despite the fact that both love and lust involves intimacy, they are divergent. Romance can be gratifying while lust can be fleeting. A relationship solely based on lust will be short-lived. If people look deeper within, they will ultimately realize that love is paramount. Although lust itself is a by-product of a strong sexual desire rather than a deep affection, it is frequently misconceived as love in today’s modern society.

Hollywood's romantic movies have greatly warped society's concept of love. Hollywood sets unrealistic expectations for romance throughout all of its movies. Love is portrayed as something far from what it is in real life, which leaves people searching for a Hollywood-type love in real life, which ultimately will leave the majority disappointed. Movies often feature love stories with a twist, such as forbidden love or star-crossed lovers, all to make the movie more exciting, not because they are telling a true story. The way that Hollywood defines love, with grand gestures and destiny, greatly differs from that of real life and can cause problems in relationships if people expect their partners to behave as shown in movies, as stated in the

There is a better understanding of different aspects when someone uses the phrase ‘I love you.’ With this knowledge one my “become a part of a greater whole and being oneself are equally important. A relationship exists as a meeting of two people in which there is a need for unity and for individuality” (Migerode, Hooghe, (2012), p. 376). Migerode, Hooghe (2012) state that ‘love is multifaceted and probably ultimately not definable. In reducing it to the description of [attachment, reflection, and conflict] we are doing love a disservice’ (p. 384-385). There goes to show that in all actuality we may have a better understanding of what love is but there is always different ways to express and consider love. Each is to their

Love according to the book is said to be about the number 4 thing people said they need to be in a healthy relationship(Welch 2010). Even though the undefinable emotion is commonly used throughout American culture as a simple verb it has more meaning. We love food, dogs, learning but what is love according to relationships and what does love look like. One researcher , John Alan Lee developed six different love styles that people tend to fall into. In this paper I will discuss the six different love styles in relation to my “Love Style” Inventory, and “Are You a Good Listener” survey.
