Technology in Education

Here is our final project. We interviewed students from around the university about their thoughts of technology. Enjoy!

Slowing down…

School got so out of control unbearably unbearable. Everything was due at once and no one knew the stress you were under, especially the teachers. They did not care they were just trying to do their job too but did they all need to do it at once. After surviving the last two weeks and never want my students to undergo the same stress I hope to coordinate with other teachers and plan our schedules so that teacher do not purposely put that much stress on our students. I do not want to put that stress on anyone and I definitely do not anyone else to understand that stress, so I am going to prevent it. I will have you know that I am better now and school is finally slowly coming to an end. We only have one more EPS assignment, two more math assignments and only one more English essay. I cannot wait, in less than a month this “chunk” of stress will be over and I will be sitting on my couch watching One Tree Hill DVDs and going tobogganing with my brother. You are probably thinking I am way to old for that, but it is something I enjoy and I am going to do it anyways.

I shopped till I dropped…and now, this week I pay

This weekend I went to Minot with my brother, father, and step mom, along with her daughter and mother. Our dollar is so high that nearly everything was a deal. I love shopping down there because the clothing is different than what is offered up here. We stayed in the states for Friday and Saturday night because if you stay there for 48 hours you are allowed to bring back $400 duty-free. My brother and I shopped, shopped, shopped. I was not doubting having fun…but I had a lot of it. My dad and Darlene gave each of us kids some money to spend as part of our Christmas gift and it was so nice to be able to pick out what we wanted. I bought some shirts and I now have a new fetish with Aeropostal. However, because I spent the weekend in Minot I have to pay this week and try to catch up on all of the million bazillion assignments and projects that are due this week. It is not fair and I will probably complain some more the rest of this week.

Why me?

Last week was not a good one. I was doing very well as the first one to move away from home. In two months I had yet to miss home until last week it really hit me. And it hit me hard. Stress was everywhere I looked and everything I encountered, but why? Why did one test that I prepared myself really well for cause so much of it? Why did it make me miss home so much? I was afraid, scared, worried, and mostly alone. When I was at home my mom and I were good ‘buds’, we faught occasionally, and when we did it wasn’t usually fun, but in the end she was always there for me. Now that I am here I have lost that secureness and the ability to ask for help and get it right away. I have lost my momma, but not the way my momma lost her momma when my momma was my age (that was a tongue twister in a way) I didn’t have a good week, I ended up having to phone my mom every night in tears. This weekend I wish to travel home to see her. I am not going home for the long weekend and won’t be able to see her then so I need to go this weekend. I miss my mom and lil’ bro, not to forget my baby (for those of you not keeping up with my blog I am not a mother, I have a cat I refer to as my baby)
