Computers are taking over

I dont think computers should replace teachers. It would be easier for students to learn if they have a real person to talk and ask questions. Probably the computers are more effective in giving more expecific information, but remember that computers are created by humans.

No one is perfect, some people can actually think that it would be better if computers take over, but it is different having a real person teaching you than a machine.

Seeing how crazily technology is growing. I mean, a couple of years ago, people didnt have cameras or video recording in their phones, and now even mp3 players, navigation systems, or have access to the internet and tv. I guess in the future machines and computer will take over one day.

studio classroom

I love the studio classrooms because it makes life easier. Whenever someone needs to use the computer, all the need to do is pop out their computers which are situated under the table, and it is better than walking to the computer lab.

One thing that can be a problem is that sometimes students, since they have access to the internet, they can go to another websites while they actually should be doing their classworks.

Another good reasons to use studio classroom is that students are offer the choice to type or handwrite an essay, journal, etc.

I would definetly take another class with a studio classroom.

My cellphone

Nokia 5300 express music, that is the phone i wanted for so long. I have owe this phone for the last 2 months.

Technology has advanced so much, that now we are able to listen to music thru our phones, leaving old school walk mans and cd player far behind.

I cant live with my phone, I admit I text message my friends way too much, when im in class i put my phone in silence and dont be surprised if you found 6 or 7 unread msg waiting for me to reply back.

This is a funny topic right now, what my life would be without it? actually it happen that i went to a haunted house and i lost my phone in there. umm...all i can say is... i miss texting my friends. But of course this is just something material and it doesnt really matter, anyways i was thinking about getting a new phone.

But yesterday someone called my sister with my lost phone, and they want to return it to me, i guess i got lucky ;-)

Identity

Whats identity? um, its what identify and defines one person from another, its what makes us unique and define us. Example, no one has the same finger prints.

There are alot of different types of identity, i could be personal identity, it could be relate to math, religious, social science, etc.

In this case is about personal identity, if i have to relate the word "identity" with the book "Funny in Farsi" i think about the difference in between people from different countries. On her memoir Firoozeh talks about that as a child she different from another kids and how her parents were different too but she didnt care, cause she knew who she was and where she came from, it that didnt changed her. Identity are traits that we get somehow from our parents and smallest things like who we hang out with, who are our friends, what food you like or dislike, etc.

But the main idea of the word identity is how we develop our personality as a individual.

Funny in Farsi

I personally really enjoy reading it. The way that she shares her stories with us and make it sound funny it makes it even better.

Having grew up in a country where no one knows where is located at its just frustrating sometimes, i always repeat it over and over again but people just dont know where is that at, "Uruguay? wheres that at?" yeah i get that a lot, just like Firoozeh.

The book activities were fun to do, because they were easy if you had read the book, the level of the book was just right, maybe 3 or 4 words in a chapter i didnt undertood but i still get the main idea.

Being expert in chapter made me read harder and read the same chapter twice just to make sure i knew the main idea of the story and be able to explain and discuss with the group.

This is me

This simbolize me because i love art and i love to paint. I grew up drawing and coloring, it always have been my hobby. During my sophemore year in high school, i decided i wanted to get a major in fine arts, i never though it would be easy to get a job if a I wanted to keep studying art but my teachers kept encouranging me. Last summer i took some private drawing and oil painting classes with a italian art instructor.

During my senior year, before i can graduate from high school i have to do a project, which consist in 3 parts: the research, the physical product and speeches, my theme was Impressionism, i had to create my own painting, research about the history of impressionism and give speeches to other classes and finally a judging panel.

I am not sure what career i want to keep because i know being an artist is not a good job, i would keep it as a hobby. I just hope i can be one of the lucky ones who susceed in the art field.

jack

Something i have in my room is this pillow of jack skelligton's head from the movie "The nightmare before Christmas" which is one of my favorite movies. I bought this one year ago at a store called "spencer" in North Carolina, where i used to live. It is a quite big pillow, i dont usually use it, it just over my bed to decorate. Sometimes when i watch movies i go and grab it and just hold it while I am watching a movie, specially if it a scary movie. I really like scary movies, i grew up watching alot of them because my parents were never home and no one was there to check what i watching on tv.

The director and creator of the movie "The nightmare before Christmas" is Tim Burton, also known for being the director of "Edward scissorhands", "Batman returns", "beetlejuice", etc. I admired his movies alot, he is a genius.

my wallet

Something i carry almost everywhere i go is my pink gloomy bear wallet. I bought this about 6 months ago, this is my very first wallet i ever own. I am a very messy person, i would just put cash on my pockets intead of having them safe in a wallet, i also carry my ID in there and my debt card.

My wallet is always in my bookback because i dont have a purse, i attend to lose everything.

I have stories about losing my keys, my ID and even money. After getting this wallet, i understood how neat and easy things became for me, i can just carry cash with no fear i would lose it, I am even able to put coins in it and all my cards.
