Technology is being created everyday. Day by day, technology is introduced to us including computers, Ipod's, and MP3's. In school, technology is used to learn, research, and is also used for the use of projects. The only problem, sites are being blocked left and right. Sites without any issue's are being blocked and information that students need are being blocked. At home, site's are easier to get to without worrying if the site is blocked. The only problem, we are not using our computers at home for research. I also don't get why Ipod's are not aloud in school. Music helps me work better and it blocks out sounds so I can concentrate more. The use of technology has a big difference in school and at home. Hopefully in school technology gets a little more under control because I think it's too secure.

Tyler I understand your frustration; IPODS do help a lot of people concentrate(including me) and school systems do block a lot of the sites you need to do research. Maybe you could do research on both and create a game that would demonstrate a need for change in school policy on both issues. I think some students have abused the internet and IPODS at school causing the strict rules. Maybe you could prove the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.
ReplyDeleteI always feel bad when I go to a site and it's blocked...lol oh well
ReplyDeleteTyler,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! Especially when it comes to blocking sites that could help for research. I love Melonie's idea about designing a game around this idea. If not, I'd be eager to read more of your thoughts on this topic in your blog!
