Mixing Education and Technology!

Years and years and years ago, back in the day when the schools only had reading, writing, and arithmetic or even back in the days when my ancestors didn't have the right to learn there wasn't any physical technology in school. Eventually to my knowledge the first piece of technology in the classroom that made a truly great impact on students was the computer and then so on in time laptops, white boards, projectors and etc. emerged. This thought makes me wonder if the people back in the day were bored out of their minds while they were in class. When I was younger and in the elementary grades we simply had computers, projectors, intercoms, and telephones in the classroom. School was still informational and intriguing at times but I think it would have been a much better experience if we had more technology during those times. In these days students have so many different forms of technology in the classroom.They have computers, laptops, white boards, projectors and may even e-books. I believe that using technology in the classrooms gains more student interest and curiosity to the information that is being taught. The purpose of mixing technology with education to me is to create a clearer understanding of what is being taught, create a more hands-on way for students to learn, and to get students to become interested in their education. There a several ways to mix education and technology. Students can be taught to use new technologies. Students can be taught to use computers and laptops, through producing documents through programs like word, excel, power-point and other applications.

Why is Higher Education Important?

As we know having a higher education does not guarantee employment, but to obtain degrees in higher education gives people a better chance to gain employment rather then the people who didn't attempt to receive higher education. Not only does higher education gives us better employment opportunities but, it also instills new knowledge in us every time we walk in a classroom and obtain new information that may be used in the future. Higher education prepares students for their futures as adults who are seeking great opportunities in general.

How did my theater/acting adventure BEGIN?!?!?!

Hey there readers, IM BACK!! Today Im just going to let you know how exactly did I become interested in acting.  I never really thought about acting until I entered high school, never been in any school plays when I was younger. It all started with my french teacher Ms. Pamela Hubert, I didn't know she had a degree in theater arts until she had a casting call for a play called "Who Am I This Time". This play was a short play based on a few silly, quirky, dinner dates between two people, one person whom had some kind of weird personal issue or psychological issue each time. Just to be included in something that had to do with school I tried and got a part playing a silly schizophrenic chick on a date. While doing this played I couldn't contain myself with excitement and I had so much fun! Ever since my first play experience I haven't been able to get enough of acting!!
