#Vanmeter Schools Transforming the Educational System: Student Post- "It is Exciting to... - 1 views

  • But this year, my junior year, that all changed. No, Van Meter Community High School didn’t get a new lunch menu. It began the one to one program and entrusted its students with their own personal MAC laptops. More importantly though, our teachers and administrators gave us the opportunity to be apart of what has become the beginning of an educational movement! Similar to a tidal wave to the face or a nice cold Coca Cola on a hot, Iowa summer day, students at Van Meter felt the refreshing impact that the computers had on us. Suddenly, I was excited to come to school again. I wanted to see what our teachers could do with the new technology handed to them and I was eager to learn something. What a crazy thought! No longer was I dragging my feet and wondering when oh when would that bell finally ring to signal it was 3:15.

    I thought this was just a friendly reminder how lucky Henrico County is to have so much technology at its fingertips!!!

    I hear ya... I can barely text on my cell phone so I am certain that tweeting is out of the question.

    I don't like how people tell you every moment of their day! I won't be "tweeting" either.

    I haven't tried tweeting but I hear it's addicting.

    My wife has gotten into tweeting along with her blogging. She uses twitter as a tool to communicate with authors. I think that if I had the time, I would use it as well.

    This lists some of the concerns and things that would need to happen if Facebook was allowed in schools. I guess there are some school systems that do allow it. I can't even imagine allowing our students to have access to FB during school hours.

    This is a video from a news show in Chicago. Good one for parents to watch to see what kids are doing on facebook/myspace and to find out ways to protect them. I liked how the guy in the video said that kids don't just use it for social purposes, but that some of them have homework or school groups to help each other out. Even though that is probably 1% of teenagers it was still nice to see that aspect spoken about.

    This may have been the worst interview I have ever seen, but the content was important. I did like how he gave a plug for academic uses as well.

    Technology is evil, the robots are taking over, and we're all going to die! Here's a quote: I think it is no exaggeration to say we are on the cusp of the further perfection of extreme evil, an evil whose possibility spreads well beyond that which weapons of mass destruction bequeathed to the nation-states, on to a surprising and terrible empowerment of extreme individuals. God help us all.

  • Why you’d bother: LinkedIn is especially useful when you’re looking for a new job — or a new employee, which helps explain its 70-million-strong global membership — because you’re no longer limited to asking your immediate colleagues for referrals. Now you can ask colleagues of colleagues, which greatly expands your reach. LinkedIners can also vouch for one another as references.

      Am I the only one getting tons of invites for LinkedIn? I wondered what it was!
  • There’s a game element, too: you earn points whenever you check in. In fact, whoever visits a certain place the most becomes its “mayor,” and may be rewarded by a giveaway from that business.
