While he was erasing the equations, he looked at me and said, “The o was making the number look bigger.” I smiled at him and said, “Oh! That makes so much sense. Good job for figuring that out.” James didn’t respond. He continued to look down at his paper and finished solving for x and y. The next problem in the packet was a graph. I read the problem, while James looked at the question. He said, “What am I supposed to do?” [James says this a lot. He says he doesn’t know how to do problems,…

Some, when this word is mentioned, like to think of technology in the sense of smartphones, mobile devices, and all sorts of electronics.

matter the weather, whether it’s on a dank steamy summers night, or a frostbitten morning some December, these people have come to get access to the latest story. Dozens or hundreds of people wait at the front of Movie Theaters, book stores, video game stores, or anywhere else these stories can be obtained, just to spend more and more money watching or reading or playing the new story.

Our daily wiffle ball game was about to start. There was a wiffle ball game every evening behind the apartment complex I lived in. The game was played in a luscious green grass field with a monstrous hill in left field.

Our teams were always different from the last game. This time I was teamed up with Ricky and…

People surrounded me at a table fiddling with pencils and papers as we listened to the directions. Our assigned project; to create a game that taught others a skill. Anxiety washed over me like morning waves; low and creeping. I glanced over to the people who would I work with. Little did I know I would later call this the worst encounter with a group project I’ve participated in, or that I would learn to push through and persevere.

focus on what is going on in the classroom. Kids who normally take notes are now playing games on their phone and failing their classes.

They showed that the laptop interfered with the students learning and ability to comprehend, therefore they scored lower on tests than the students who took notes with pencil/pen and paper (Devices in Class). Using computers, students may be allowed to click on and/or find…
