They all feel as though there are pros and cons to textbooks versus electronic devices.

INTRODUCTION One of the key components to teaching a foreign language to a high school class is the selection of an appropriate and engaging textbook. Choosing the right textbook involves a variety of considerations such as: is the material clearly presented and easy to decode/understand/read; is it engaging and is there continuity/flow in the way that it is laid out and presented; and is it at the right level (Spanish I, II, and III) where the student is at in their acquisition of the foreign…

books starting in 2017, causing a huge controversy. Currently, schools are free to choose from textbooks that are closely examined and approved by the Ministry of Education. However, this legislation would institute a single, unified history textbook authored directly by the government. Through three levels of analysis, I seek to understand why Ms. Park plans to establish state-authored history textbook and why this change generates fear and concern among citizens.

The textbook defines identity as “who a person believes he or she is, representing a synthesis and integration of self-understanding” (Santrock, 2014, p. 143). Regarding my own conception of a “healthy” self-identity, I am in agreement with Erik Erikson when he mentions adolescents have to try different identities to see which one fits (Santrock, 2014, p. 144). If the person is happy with the identity he/she chose, then, the identity might end up being a healthier one. However, I believe people…

Textbooks VS Technology With the world leaning towards being technology based, many question if this will lead to full time digital learning for schools. This then leads to the battle if schools will stick with their textbooks and handwritten notes or switch over to ebooks, chromebooks, tablets, etc. They both have plenty of benefits to them. But along with the good points, there tends to be bad ones as well. They both are designed differently and teach in different ways. What students want to…

For those using the school-issued pedometer for tracking, the My Fitness Pal website is available for determining their personal goals. They will report their in-class beginning and ending step counts from their smartphone or pedometer to their student team leader each day.

Are dictionary definitions always right? Are there important facts reports leave out? What is the difference between a textbook and real world definition? Textbook definitions hide the pain and struggle before, during, and after the divorce. It hides the feeling of stress not only on the individuals involved, but those involved parents, friends, and if there the children. It hides the pain of explaining to the rest of one’s family that they are finished. It hides the pain of moving kids back…
