After reviewing a large mass of blog entries, one specific one grasped my attention. It was titled “Pocket texting and open phone tests” and was situated within the Weblogg-ed blog.
The entry itself notably described the unethical (in the world of education) habits of a 14 year old student. He is of South Korean descent and has adopted the repulsive tendency to text message during his classes. This is quite simple for him, for he has memorized his key pad and plainly types up a question that was addressed by the teacher and sends this completed message to his friends. The then answer the question back and Insoo (the student) completes assignments with ease. He has also composed an online port to his questions which is useful in the event of confusion during his homework.
Wow, this idea of texting to receive answers during tests and homework is unacceptable. I have always defended my belief that the practice of text messaging was evil, and this completely supports my point! Phones which posses the ability to send these messages should be banned during tests, yet the computer programs at home can’t become extinct without drastic measures. It is a tough question to answer; should (because of the potential hazard of cheating as instead by cell phones) all technology be abandoned within classrooms? Technology poses such an overwhelming advantage over conservative teaching, for the radical technology utilized in classrooms is sometimes even more resourceful than a teacher. My English class has introduced laptops to our class, and in the absence of the power, speed, and practicality presented by laptops and other comparable technological devices, I would find myself lost in that class.
Essentially, technology is helpful in the sense that it poses better alternatives to the contemporary textbook. Yet, if operated by teens like Insoo, the technology may not radiate the same positive feelings as it does in my English class.

Dennis, your presentation was really good, very well prepared. Next time try and make more eye contact, besides that good job.
You did a very good job on explaining your plns and you talked with your hands and with emotion. You made good eye contact and you really connected with the audience. good job!
You did a good job you described very good about the articles you fidgeted a lot to
Dennis, I liked your greeting because nobody else has ever done that. Good job explaining your posts, you were very detailed. Try not to look down so much, but great job.
Good job relating your posts and explaing them. I like your post about the flyinng motorcycle that would be sweet to have.
Dennis,
you had good pln 's and had good detailed about them. You also had a good running them about them and you made good eye contact.nice
Dennis, you did very good at talking about your PLN's, but you spoke a little to qucikly sometimes and look at the floor a lot. Other than that you did a great job!
Dennis, I think you did an awesome job. Maybe speak a little bit slower. You did a great job summarizing your PLN's and you did a great job personalizing them as well. A little more eye contact would be good. Other then those few things, keep up the good work!
Dennis, great job!! Next time try not to fidget so much, but other then that, good job!
Dennis, great job on your presentation. You swayed a lot during your presentation, and there was a little stuttering during the beginning. Try not to talk so quickly, I got a little lost, and didn't know what you were talking about at times. Try and work on these minor problems, and you will be awesome for your next presentation!
Dennis, you did well speaking but you talked a little fast. You also explained your articles well and did well relating them all together.
Dennis,
Nice begining! I agree with your ideas about the article about kids failing. I don't think that she should let them turn in late work for 100%. Wow, your ideas are great and well thought out. Have I told you this before? Well, you do a really good job! My only advice is to slow down a bit, but overall it was great!
Dennis, good job on you presentation. Try not to look at the ground. But other than that good job!
Dennis, you are a crazy kid! But in a good way, you always amaze me because you speak with such enthusiasm and intelligence. Try to slow it down just a little bit because you got a little too excited. Good eye contact but again try to calm down a little bit and not fidget so much. Great Job!
p.s. I like your introduction
D-dawg I thought you picked alot of good topics that we're very interesting as well as ones that you could really relate to and talk about.
Dennis, you did a good job on your presentation. You need to slow down when you speaking because it was hard to know what you were saying at times. Great job on relating to the world. I think that technology shouldn't be banned from school because it is really useful to us in a lot of ways.
Denis! I agree with you that students shouldn't get 100% of the credit if they turn it in a few days late. If the teacher does except late work, then it should be for 75% or less. You can't really not allow technology in a classroom for a test, it would take too long to make sure no one has one. Great job!
Dennis, nice job you kept the class tuned in the whole time. You also did a great job explaning each article and making your presintation fun. Great work!!!!!!!!!!!
Dennis, you did a really good job on your presentation. The only advice I have for you is to make more eye contact next time, but other then that good job.
