Class Blog Guidelines

Hello, Class!

In order to ensure we have productive discussions on our class blog, I want to set out some guidelines.

1.) Every Friday, I will be posting a new topic. You must respond to this topic in the comments section of the post at least once by Monday. You may comment more than once if you think of more ideas to share or want to respond to something someone else said.

2.) When you respond, please ONLY use your first name and last initial. Do not use your e-mail address or any other identifying information. Who knows what sort of creepazoids are out there!

3.) Always be polite and respectful to one another.  It is okay to disagree -- that is what makes a discussion dynamic, interesting, and purposeful. If we all agreed, there'd be nothing to discuss!

4.) Your responses should be at least two full paragraphs in length.  If you're inspired to write more, write more!  I love it! :)


All the Best,
Ms. Mansour

  19. For those of you having trouble creating a Google Plus account, go ahead and comment as a Guest. Please remember, all the rules of conduct still apply!

    To comment as a Guest: Choose Name/URL. Type first name and last initial as your "Name." DO NOT put in a URL. It will work! :)

  34. Tablets should not Replace textbooks in schools. Tablets and textbooks have their upsides and downsides. Tablets are lighter and more into the modern world, but textbooks are more original and heavy. People seem to like textbooks more.

    With textbooks there is not a disraction of extra games and apps, even the camera on the tablet. Though tablets eliminate the extra work of buying school supplies, reading books, and paper. A tablet can also fit multiple textbooks in ONE tablet. Plus a textbook doesn't have the distractions, just the pictures and the text, some students also don't comprehend as well on digital text and read 20-30% slower. With real text kids comprehend better which means they could get better scores on a quiz. The younger kids also won't have enough dexterity for the tablets yet and they won't be mature enough. So, in my opinion the textbooks would be better off using because of grades and distractions.
