Since the advent of the iPad in 2010, there has been a tremendous excitement about how they can revolutionise our lives and our children’s learning. Indeed, tablet technology is now thought of as a household item, desired, if not owned by the younger generation. Children are central to the digital revolution and often understand the technology better than their parents, so why, in this age in which we live, shouldn’t the iPad be a large part of a child’s learning? Before the invention of…

School is one of the most defining parts of a person’s life. It is where a student picks who or what he/she wants to be in their life, as well as the place to get tons of new information to succeed. Certain moments and activities during school can be life defining experiences. A student’s involvement in sports is one of these moments mentioned earlier. Sports can contribute so much more than just physical activity. They allow students to become involved, and can benefit a person’s experience in…

hands on activities in my lessons that will encourage students to explore and interact with each other. The knowledge I gained observing the classroom could not have happened if I hadn’t had my book and learned about all different concepts about education. The information in class really stuck with me when we talked about it in class and later that week I was able to experience in my volunteering. Also, I learned how to talk to the students better through my field experience and how to motivate…

Socialization There are many ways that people view different terms and what they actually mean. Socialization is the action in which people inherit norms, values, and customs providing you with the skills needed for communicating and participating in society. When it comes to socialization many people can view it in all different ways whether it is talking to someone face to face, texting, emailing, writing letters, seeing people in person, talking over the phone, there is a million different…

teachers offer a duty of care” (p. 108). We need to make sure we protect those that are part of the research and they understand the purpose and what will be done with the research. The way the research is conducted should not interfere with the education of the students as well, which I believe may be the biggest ethical consideration coming from the administration stand…

Why I Talk About Energy Poverty: Education Perhaps it would be best if I start by defining energy poverty. There is actually some debate among experts on what is to be included in the definition and at what point one can be considered to be experiencing it; but a good, inclusive definition that I have found is this: Energy poverty is not having electricity because it is either not available, not reliable, or not affordable. Here are a few things you should know about our world. First, about 1…

Becoming an elite is no easy task; one has to go through immense training in order to gain the proper mindset. One of the important aspects of becoming an elite is having the right type of education. St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire, provides exactly that. Their main emphasis is teaching the student about the bigger picture, so if ever questioned, the student will be able to provide a response that is well versed in their elite ways. In Shamus Khan’s book, Privilege: The Making of an…

“To what extent do our schools serve the goals of a true education?” In order to accurately define an answer to that question, we must first identify what a true education is, as well as the goals of one. A true education is an education where students learn to think independently and to problem solve. The goals of a true education are to prepare students for real life. To rephrase the previously mentioned question: How far do our public schools go to prepare students for real life by being…

In leadership, there are many types of approaches. Leaders try to find out what types of problems there are and understand the situation. This all depends on behaviour because all workers do not have the same behaviour. According to Hannagan (2002, pp.36-38), ‘Leadership is the process of motivating other people to act in particular ways in order to achieve specific goals…they are judge on what they do’. Our leader selects some worker for training who is behaving well to leader. Than leader take…

I have learned many things from the process that I have went through when I was informed that I plagiarized a discussion post in my Finite math class. I am a person who cherishes my reputation and I feel like it really put a strain on the way Mrs. Copeland will look at me as a student and a person. I have learned many things from this and throughout this paper I will describe those experiences. Through many long nights and having thoughts race throughout my head I am glad that I have learned…
