Grade 10 Journal Entry Question #2

Grade 10 Journal Entry Question #2
An IPOD classroom?

1, I think I can learn well with an iPod. We are in a self-taught school and we learn things from units, which are all words, and probably some seminars but not much. If we are using an iPod, we can actually see what is really going on and it will be way easier to memorize things will images than words. Using iPod to learn can also help us to understand the course more than words. For example, a science experiment, we will understand it way more better in images than words.

2,I think MaryWard should embrace this technology.
Advantages :
Help understanding units because you can actually see the real thing with your eyes.
Easier to memorize things with images.
You can learn things even you are on the bus or on the street.
We can save them in our computer so we can review them anytime.
Student will have more interest in studying with iPods than papers.
With videos, teachers are able to explain something that cannot be explained just by words.
Disadvantages:
Student will lose their interest on reading things.
Student might not catch up to the speed of how the teacher in the video goes.
Student will have to buy their own iPods and some student might not to able to affort the price.
Student will have to look at the iPod screen for a long time and it will harm our eyes.
