I really liked your statement about “technology taking over our cognitive abilities”. I understand where that comes from given all the high-tech classrooms we have nowadays. It becomes difficult to assess how technology will have an impact on future education since this is how students communicate. As future professors, we need to include technology in our courses in a way that does not separate us but rather group us together. This is similarly shown in our blogs and class discussions. I will be planning to include technology but only for a portion of the course, and the other portion should be actual interactions and a 2 way teaching and learning process. Thanks for sharing!

I’m sorry to hear about your problem-on-the-board experience during undergrad. Unfortunately, I’ve definitely had a few of those incidences myself. This topic comes up a lot in my Graduate Teaching Scholar class. The literature says that when students feel comfortable in their learning environments, they tend to learn better. However, that does not equate to students not participating at all. I like how one of my classes is set up where we are asked to do a reading at home and then expected to talk about it in class. That way, students are fully aware that they are going to be called on. It shouldn’t be a surprise to them. If students are able to express their thoughts and opinions better when they have notes written down, then this gives them the opportunity to do that.

Hello Daniel,Each vendor has their own requirements for the personnel they would like to hire. When you visit their booth, they will inform you about the requisite qualifications for the various roles they have open. We also suggest that all visitors to the Fair walk with a CV highlighting their experience and education to leave with the hiring managers.

I think that you hit the nail on the head. There is no such thing as a get rich scheme or free lunch.If you want to build a solid online business, it would take hard work, dedication and lots of time.At the end of the day, it will be all worth, if its financial freedom you after. I look forward to checking out your site and learning more.RegardsRoopesh

Oh goodness.. a very high-speed train, indeed! I have been in the same situation you are describing, where multitasking becomes the norm, and single tasks an exception. It’s quite frustrating, and there are certain tasks that you cannot do multitasking such as grading and reading, but your brain is used to the habit of thinking and doing multiple things while you are trying to focus on one single task.

This is an excellent question! I definitely think that the current generations are more exposed to technology than what we were -and this poses much more challenge for parents and for teachers as well! As educators, we always want the best for children, and limiting technology to educational purposes is not necessarily a bad approach

Absolutely Claudia, online scams target vulnerability of people who are desperate to make money online. We at ditchninetosurvive.com emphasise that online business is NOT a get rich stuff, honest online opportunities is for those who are ready to take time for the business to develop. It is sad that most people still fall for the promise of gargantuan income. Thank you for visiting our website, and we wish you all the best always.

Great video! It has actually become difficult to avoid being distracted especially from using our phones. I put it away to get some work done, then I go back and find it as soon as it vibrates. Multitasking can blind you significantly from others things that need more attention.

Thank you for your post. I really liked how your arguments nicely couple with the video. Very inspiring!

I really like your final sentence “Google is a great tool to find basic information, but sole reliant on it will hamper the creative thought process.” I find sometimes its more convenient to look up common constants used in my engineering equations or the molar mass of elements I don’t typically work with on google when I’m working through a problem rather than trying to go back through my notes. However, if I am stuck on a problem and need to figure out how to work though it is much more beneficial to go back and reference my notes or a text book to make sure I actually understand what I am doing. On of my biggest issues with google is the fact that it has become so easy for students to just google their homework questions and find the exact solution that they can just copy down. This completely hinders the learning process and pretty much defeats the purpose of assigning homework.
