1 projectors computers for reserch and to find books Jan 7, 2010 4:55 PM
2 we use computers to search for information and do work on it mostly projects Jan 7, 2010 4:55 PM
3 I havnt really used computers much this year. But i know that the Mount Sentinel Jan 7, 2010 4:56 PM
website has very effective websites that they have told kids about. So you get
research not advertisments.
4 because you might not be able to find some websites that you need Jan 7, 2010 4:57 PM
5 I don't know Jan 7, 2010 4:57 PM
6 cause you dont always find what you need on the computer Jan 7, 2010 5:02 PM
7 it is somewhat effective becuase the web is a very helpful tool Jan 7, 2010 5:06 PM
8 i'd rather have homework, i hate going to the computer lab at school. Jan 7, 2010 5:11 PM
9 because our generation has grown up with technology so we should learn with it Jan 7, 2010 5:12 PM
10 because you get to type out projects and stuff for better marks Jan 7, 2010 5:12 PM
11 We learn from sites and by doing presentations. It keeps us interested. Jan 7, 2010 5:12 PM
12 because you can't just find all the info on the internet like making posters. Jan 7, 2010 5:13 PM
13 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Jan 7, 2010 5:13 PM
ssssdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
fffffffffffffffff
14 it realy helps me for learning in school. if i need information about a subject and Jan 7, 2010 5:14 PM
im unable to find a book about it. then here in the lab is great.
15 I think now that books can be abit out dated. So the internet and things like that Jan 7, 2010 5:14 PM
are very helpful. Not only that but when you have a projecet a book can be hard to
carry around so computers come in handy.
16 we don't really use computers for classes and we do pretty effectively. Jan 7, 2010 5:14 PM
17 It helps me learn in school because it is easer to find infromation Jan 7, 2010 5:15 PM
18 we rarly use internet for classes. Jan 7, 2010 5:15 PM
19 Because we don't really use computers in the class but we mostly use it for HCE. Jan 7, 2010 5:15 PM
20 i dont understand this question Jan 7, 2010 5:15 PM
21 Technology helps me alot in learing in school, because the internet has alot of Jan 7, 2010 5:17 PM
information, and the main computer is a more effitiant way for saving data/work.

 Explain
22 because you can search up stuff you dont know and learn kinda alot but not really Jan 7, 2010 5:18 PM
23 for class when we have do research, math games, or reports. Jan 7, 2010 5:18 PM
24 Well for classes we do reaserch, play math games, do music tests, write stories Jan 7, 2010 5:18 PM
so it's somewhat effective.
25 We are usually are just sent free, and not given some specific wed sites that Jan 7, 2010 5:19 PM
would have more info. It would be better to have a few sites that teachers go onto
before class and see if they have good information. and then give us the name of
the site.
26 ? Jan 7, 2010 6:30 PM
27 you use it for reasearch on the computer. Jan 7, 2010 6:31 PM
28 well i think that we could learn the same and not use computers ide rather just do Jan 7, 2010 6:32 PM
hand writing than typing and computers can get confusing
29 you use it for research on the computer. Jan 7, 2010 6:32 PM
30 its alot easier than trying to find the right book or people that know alot about that Jan 7, 2010 6:32 PM
specific area.
31 In Hce we use computers for like Powerpoints and Our eportfolios. Jan 7, 2010 6:33 PM
32 We do alot of tex book work and writing Jan 7, 2010 6:33 PM
33 if you don't know somting you can saerch for it Jan 7, 2010 6:34 PM
34 I think technology is used very effectively. Jan 7, 2010 6:35 PM
35 It's good for doing research. Jan 7, 2010 6:35 PM
36 well if im doing a project it is efficive because it helps me with stuff i didnt know Jan 7, 2010 6:35 PM
about
37 we dont use it a lot but I think its helpful sometimes I find that useing books or Jan 7, 2010 6:36 PM
teacher help is a lot more useful then the internet most times.
38 varry varry varry ...... effectivelty Jan 7, 2010 6:36 PM
39 you can use a computer for typing prodjects. Jan 7, 2010 6:36 PM
40 because it's easier to find stuff on the internet then in a book and alot of stuff isnt Jan 7, 2010 6:38 PM
in books and when you type stuff it comes out a lot neater than hand writter stuff
41 It's easier than using a book in my opinion. Plus you don't ahve to do anything Jan 7, 2010 6:38 PM
aphebetically, most of the time.
42 we can use it for notes, research ect. Jan 7, 2010 6:38 PM
43 It's effective because a lot of resources for information come from websites. Jan 7, 2010 6:38 PM
44 i can organize my work and fix things Jan 7, 2010 6:58 PM
45 i can organize my work better Jan 7, 2010 6:58 PM
46 I use technology for research in most classes, and at home I am able to go to that Jan 7, 2010 6:58 PM
website which makes it easy to remember.
47 you can search for info Jan 7, 2010 6:59 PM
48 Because i don't use technology for learning in school cause i just know stuff Jan 7, 2010 6:59 PM
49 i use it alot for big projects and research Jan 7, 2010 6:59 PM
50 we use it to do research, so it is very effective because there is a whole bunch of Jan 7, 2010 7:00 PM
different websites that give different information, so you learn more then just using
a book which only has a few different stuff... the technology helps a lot.
51 because i know most stuff. i only use it if i need to Jan 7, 2010 7:00 PM
52 you can getsome pretty goos info for what you are looking for Jan 7, 2010 7:00 PM
53 You learn things. Jan 7, 2010 7:00 PM
54 for reserch Jan 7, 2010 7:01 PM

2 of 5
 Explain
55 I think that since people, especially youth have internet acccess, we are more Jan 7, 2010 7:03 PM
likely to use the Internet for school related research when we need it. I think that
this is an effective way to learn if the ones who are using the internet for research,
it is only useful if we know what to look for in websites that are reliable for correct
information. On ethe other hand I also think that even though we do have the
internet, books are still a very reliable source for research.
56 i dont use technolagy to learn at school unless its somthing i wanna know Jan 7, 2010 7:06 PM
57 good for finding information. Jan 7, 2010 9:34 PM
58 A good percent of the time kids are on computer they are just goofnig around and Jan 8, 2010 5:19 PM
not really accomplishing very much...
59 not really at all Jan 8, 2010 5:20 PM
60 All sorts of information on the internet. Jan 8, 2010 5:24 PM
61 Pictures and site and talking about what im seeing Jan 8, 2010 5:28 PM
62 tools i need to do research are at school, but i rather use books. Jan 8, 2010 5:37 PM
63 the tools i need to do research are at school, but i prefer using books. Jan 8, 2010 5:37 PM
64 Information from different sites. Jan 11, 2010 4:58 PM
65 because some people goof around on the internet instead of reasearch Jan 11, 2010 4:59 PM
66 Kids are so familiar with technology now, that it pretty much comes natural. It can Jan 11, 2010 5:00 PM
express there learning in a new way!
67 Often the technology isn't used for learning purposes, but for personal use. But, Jan 11, 2010 5:01 PM
the technology that we do use for learning does tend to work out well in helping
educate us.
68 I didnt really use thev computer this semester so i dont really know. Jan 11, 2010 5:02 PM
69 reaserch Jan 11, 2010 5:03 PM
70 i can use it to research Jan 11, 2010 5:03 PM
71 Its good for doing research. Jan 11, 2010 5:03 PM
72 It's very effectively used, I think. Because coming into the lab and typing is much Jan 11, 2010 5:04 PM
faster than writing... Even though writing';s an important skill aslo.
73 VERY EFFECTIVE! Because it is a faster way of doing research, and I'm a faster Jan 11, 2010 5:05 PM
typer than I am at writing.
74 I believe it is effective in the way where you can only learn so much from a book Jan 11, 2010 5:07 PM
and if you look that the world now a days not a lot of people go and publish books
about mystical creatures or something like that. People are starting to make there
own home page on the internet because then others throughtout the world can
see what you have to say. I just believe that there is a lot more to learn out there
and half of it is on the Internet.
75 i'm an online student Jan 11, 2010 5:31 PM
76 Because i knew before Jan 11, 2010 5:34 PM
77 i use it its very help full easier than books, Jan 11, 2010 5:39 PM
78 In school, we sometimes use the computers. I don't think it matters on the type of Jan 13, 2010 8:43 PM
technology, I just think it matters on what you are researching. If you're interested,
Technology is good and very helpful, but if you aren't interested, it won't do that
much.
79 i think that technology is good for research and presentations Jan 13, 2010 8:45 PM
80 If you really think about it, If we didn't have computers with internet access Jan 13, 2010 8:45 PM
available at the school.. more than half of the students wouldn't be able to get the
best mark possible. It's important for research, typing out papers, and other school
projects. Wireless connection would be spectacular.
81 its a quik link lots of edicational websites and links Jan 13, 2010 8:45 PM
82 sometimes we watch videos on youtube for learning purposes Jan 13, 2010 8:45 PM

3 of 5
 Explain
83 Sometimes teachers show us videos on youtube or use the smart board to show Jan 13, 2010 8:46 PM
us stuff, and it makes it easier to understand.
84 I think that technogy in school is really effective for me because i'm able to get Jan 13, 2010 8:46 PM
thoughts out easier, notes are more clear, and i'm more organize
85 do the same kind of project over&over Jan 13, 2010 8:47 PM
86 Effectively because, technology is useful/helpful for research and presentations. Jan 13, 2010 8:47 PM
87 helps us figure out stuff we didnt know about and stuff like that. and faster to get Jan 13, 2010 8:48 PM
information about the stuff you need.
88 we only use computers at school to do presentrations and projects. Jan 13, 2010 8:48 PM
89 Easier to get the info you need, and alot faster Jan 13, 2010 8:49 PM
90 I think that using an ipod during a test helps someone settle down and makes it Jan 13, 2010 8:49 PM
easier to do the test or silent working on your own. Cell phones I think are okay to
have in a class if someone may be calling that is important or even to have just in
case of an emergency, I do not think that kids should text in class. That is what I
believe.
91 Effective because there is more info on computers then books because there are Jan 13, 2010 8:51 PM
only limited amount of books and on certain information
92 I think that some of the teachers need to get more educated with all the new Jan 13, 2010 8:51 PM
technology. We have the opportunity to be more advanced with our computer
work and such, so...
93 very effectively because,its easier and your more ingaged. Therefore you learn Jan 13, 2010 8:51 PM
more.
94 In my case, I use it poorly, but it seems others do very well. Jan 13, 2010 10:02 PM
95 it would be better if the ipods would be able to access the wifi Jan 13, 2010 10:02 PM
96 it can be very helpful for researching Jan 13, 2010 10:03 PM
97 We are given access to do research but barely other than that. Jan 13, 2010 10:04 PM
98 Stuff on google is shit. Hard to find info on internet Jan 13, 2010 10:04 PM
99 Some kids don't use the technology for what they are meant to be used for. Jan 13, 2010 10:05 PM
(during that time)
100 I would like more oppurtunities to learn how to use different presentation tools Jan 13, 2010 10:05 PM
101 When researching , technology is effeectivly, other than that not so much Jan 13, 2010 10:05 PM
102 It's easier to find information. Jan 13, 2010 10:06 PM
103 sometimes it is hard to find some of the stuf with the site that the school lets us Jan 13, 2010 10:06 PM
use
104 Cause when you are stuck you can go to the copmputer or yuou can go onto your Jan 13, 2010 10:07 PM
phone.
105 its easy than looking in mags Jan 13, 2010 10:08 PM
106 The teachers do not let us use the internet for our learning Jan 13, 2010 10:08 PM
107 because sometimes things arent in text books. and if they aren't in there then you Jan 13, 2010 10:09 PM
can't find out what you want to find out. plus the internet helps you organize your
research in document because alot of people loose their work in there binders.
108 We use it a good amount, but it's probably the students fault that we don't use it Jan 13, 2010 10:10 PM
more, seeing as lots of students can't behave while in the lab.
109 looking up information quickly Jan 13, 2010 10:10 PM
calculator
110 i use it to serch for stuff on the internet Jan 13, 2010 10:10 PM
i always use word document on the computer and i use my ipod to help me
111 We often use the internet access to look up information when we can't find a book Jan 13, 2010 10:11 PM
in the library or they don't have it or we just don't want to use books.

4 of 5
 Explain
112 without technology all students would be in the dark, no knowledge on Jan 13, 2010 10:11 PM
technolegy, therefor our lives would be dull
113 Technology i think is very effectively used in the school to help with projects and Jan 13, 2010 10:12 PM
other schooling needs.
114 It helps to find more research than you might in the library Jan 13, 2010 10:14 PM
115 we get to use it for projects, and thats about it. Jan 13, 2010 10:14 PM
