" A vision of students today"

In this video text “A vision of students today” there are many things being represented. Micheal Wesch and his students do a study on how technology is effecting us and if it is for the better or not. Many of the students show all the stuff they do in one day and it adds up to more then twenty six hrs in one day so students have to multitask or there is no way they will get anything done. The students probably wouldn’t need to multitask if they didn’t need time for tv and facebook. There was one student that help up a sign that says im going to be twenty thousand dollars in debt. The only reason that student is going to be so much in debt is because that student had to buy all the books for their classes and they are only going to look at that book at school and probably never again. What is the point of buying a book if your only going to look at once? I think technology is helping us and should be used more. With computers we can do work online and not have to buy a book. Yes computers can be distracting, but only if you make them distracting. In my opinion we can make anything distracting for example a person with a pencil could be tapping on the desk. I think that is a lot more distracting then someone just not looking at the teacher when they are supposed to. If schools were to use computers for assignments no matter what then the student can be able to get that assignment for if they were sick or something. Also you can email with computers. Emailing is not just for talking to your friends all the time it can also be used for turning in stuff to your teacher. When students sit in a class room with hundreds of kids they don’t have the one on one with there learning and teachers. The boards the students have to read from are so small when they have to sit in back. Do we really expect anyone to learn if they cant even be close enough to read what they are supposed to do? If the students assignment is posted online they could modify it to where they can read it perfectly and understand what is going on and what to do. Some students don’t even finish all of there homework in one night because they have so much to do. If class sizes were smaller and had computers they could be doing the assignment as the teacher explained it so they didn’t have to wait till they got home and forgot how to do anything. Another thing to remember is that not all students have the best handwriting and so if the teacher cant read the students hand writing do you think that student is going to get a good grade? I would say not. That is we need technology in our way of learning today. It will make things fair and cheaper and that is what the students are looking for in school.
