Computer Time

Computer time in high school meant FREE TIME. Yes, we were suppose to be doing research on some subject that no one really knew anything about, but no one ever did the research. We just mainly tried to beat the "Parental Codes" and look at our emails and download gross things and then send them to each other. In other words, Computer Time was "Get Nothing Accomplish Time." I do believe this could have been different though had it been for the teachers guidance. Many of my teachers really didn't know how to use the computers and really were no help, but I believe now a days this is different since I know what I'm doing on the computer and could help guide my students a little better. I'm not saying that computer time will no longer be fun, but I do believe it will be more beneficial for my students.

Education and Technology

Technology I believe has benefited that classroom in many ways. The internet by far has transformed education in the way we have our students research and learn about all areas of schooling. Most schools today have a computer lab, and many are even starting to have each student have their own laptop during school so they can do all their assignments online and utilize the technology that is being used in today's fast pace world. Using technology will only benefit our students for the "real world."

The Sunday Morning Slam

Everyone! Come see how good I look.
It was the Sunday morning after,
after a long blissful night of libating.
Whoa, mmmmhmm, ough.
It was the Sunday morning after,
and I look good.

Original Poem

To be, or not to be: that is the question.
But what the question may answer is the heartache of man.

To die, to sleep;
to sleep perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come.
And in that death what may rise to live.

Nothing Else

When from the ends of the earth and back,
Relatively speaking,
Shooting up heroin between her toes, her greatest experience was
The umbrella keeping the sun off,
Nothing Else.

Poetry In Motion

I found this article titled "Poetry In Motion" and I found it really interesting, mostly because I really don't know much about Poetry. I never have been really great at it and even though I took a few classes in it, I never really grasped onto poetry that much. This article brought up being created by taking students outside of the classroom and even on a road trip. Although I think it would be difficult to take all your students on a road trip simply to write a poem, the idea of being outside and starting the creative juices by watching nature is a great idea. Some students, like myself, need that extra little help to start the writing process and this is true for all areas of writing.
