advancement

With the way our world is advancing we are seeing the technology age affect student’s classrooms. There are so many different ways that technology and modern advances can be used to our benefit. the internet is something that has grown a great deal over the past ten years and now is one of the easiest ways to access information. The internet is a useful tool for students In many ways. It allows them to do research and have access to information that may have been scattered throughout a library. Using the internet also gives students a more interactive approach to learning because they can explore the sites as they feel comfortable. The internet also offers a way for teachers to communicate with the students. Just like the blogging we are doing is an advancement we didn’t have just years ago.

Phones in class

With the growing popularity of mobile and network communication devices comes a new era of learning in the classroom. We are part of the technology age and it is booming right now.One may ask how mobile devices would be good or acceptable for use in the classroom. Well, the cell phone is something that has grown in popularity in leaps and bounds just over the last ten years. Cell phones are now used in the majority of homes in America and are now making their way into classrooms. The cell phone started out as just a basic device that could be used for communication on the go. Now cell phones have so many different features and possibilities of use. They can be more efficient even than some super computers and are advancing daily.I think cell phones in class would be helpful to all.

are steroids cheating?

A heavily argued topic nowadays is “What is cheating or what can be classified as cheating?” in relation to sports. Cheating is some act of lying, deception, trickery, or imposition. Cheating is often used by people to create an unfair advantage, often in someone’s own interest, and often at the expense of others. But with that said can steroids really be classified as a form of cheating? Or are steroids really just a new technology that can enhance all athletes’ performance. This has been a huge topic over the years with superstars such as barry bonds and sammy sosa being accused of using them. Congress has even met about steroids and disscussed their legality. this is a serios issue that has affected many young athletes and must be considered.

Povert y is a problem

Poverty has been one of the major issues for not only America but many other countries across the world. It has grown in America over recent years. Some of these people have caused themselves to be in poverty while others simply couldn’t do anything to prevent it. Poverty has many different causes that can include war, agricultural cycles, and lack of education. I think that poverty is not always because of a person that they sometimes don’t have control over what happens.Many people can face poverty just due to natural disasters or any kind of drought. I think that as Americans we need to step up and provide more help to these people because you never know when you could be in the same situation one day. I Think everyone should at least volunteer or something just to help others.

my crazy trip

I was a little younger about twelve or thirteen and I had been waiting all year to go to Florida during the summer. It was a hugely anticipated trip for the whole family. But little did I know what fate had in store for me on this crazy vacation. I was so excited about going to the beach every day and going to amusement parks and all of the other perks you get to enjoy while there. Only problem was the things that actually happened were not what I had in mind. The best time I had while there was the first two days after that it all went downhill. it rained the whole time and their was even a tropical storm. And the day we actually went to the beach my mom got struck by lightning because it started raining and storming. Then the day we got home i lost my wallet and all of my money so yea i would say it was a bad trip.
