26 i would like to be able to go to the computer lab more frequently for studying on Jan 7, 2010 6:36 PM
tests it is helpful. But other than that just being able to use the whole library would
be helpful to get at the helpful books and at the helpful internet sometimes would
really help.
27 i lime computers Jan 7, 2010 6:36 PM
28 I dont have any comment Jan 7, 2010 6:36 PM
29 No comment. Jan 7, 2010 6:38 PM

31 I think the way we use technology now is good. Jan 7, 2010 6:38 PM
32 i like games and maby we should watch tv more Jan 7, 2010 6:59 PM
33 we should beable to use are ipod touch to reserch Jan 7, 2010 6:59 PM
34 we should all get free stuff eg. ipods, phones, and not very fast cars Jan 7, 2010 6:59 PM
35 the technology in this school are pretty good. but in some rooms the computers Jan 7, 2010 7:00 PM
are extremely slow adn old fashioned, as in it doesnt work as well. so that is all i
would have to say about the technology in this school.
36 more movies Jan 7, 2010 7:00 PM
37 Able to search "All" websites. Jan 7, 2010 7:00 PM
38 i can't get intrested in the asinmantes Jan 7, 2010 7:01 PM
39 let us use ipod touch to study instead of comps Jan 7, 2010 7:06 PM
40 hmm, i think that its used pretty effectively already. Jan 7, 2010 9:34 PM

44 i am happy with the good looking technology at our school ;) Jan 8, 2010 5:37 PM
45 Meh. Jan 11, 2010 5:00 PM
46 technology is useful to help with school work Jan 11, 2010 5:03 PM
47 I feel like it would benifit me, considering how often I'm on the internet at home, if Jan 11, 2010 5:05 PM
our teachers would have e-mails where they e-mail us work, or maybe have an
online blogging site, where they blog the work assigned in class. I would
remember to check a website before I would remember to check my agenda. =)
48 It would be effective in many ways. It could help with research and project Jan 11, 2010 5:07 PM
makings.
49 I find that if we had internet by wifi it would make students much happier and Jan 11, 2010 5:39 PM
trying not to connect to every other internet knowing your going to get denied
50 We could use technology more often, and use like photo-shop for projects, and Jan 13, 2010 8:43 PM
research/study more stuff that engage's young teens, instead of researching
boring stuff.
51 i think that we have used technology good and i dont what we could do to improve Jan 13, 2010 8:45 PM
it
52 I don't think website's should be blocked, kids OFTEN need access to facebook Jan 13, 2010 8:45 PM
for pictures and what not.
53 get a link cause the ipod touch that i own has enternetv acces to websites like a Jan 13, 2010 8:45 PM
mini laptop except slowly but teachers need to put lots o effort to make sure kids
are on task
54 It would be nice if there was wireless because I would most likely get an ipod Jan 13, 2010 8:45 PM
touch and then I could use the internet for more learning.
55 I think it would be good if our school had wifi, because then if the computer lab Jan 13, 2010 8:46 PM
was full people with ipod touches could research on their ipods.

56 I think for me, personaly, internet acsess other then the lab, and all around Jan 13, 2010 8:46 PM
technology would be very helpful. Note taking on the computer would esspicaly
help me, because i tend to get un-organized.
57 you should get wireless so the computers work faster. and make sure alllllll the Jan 13, 2010 8:48 PM
computers work all the time. and get good working computers in classrooms, not
really slow ones that dont work all the time.
58 we should use technology more in school because it would make work mor efun Jan 13, 2010 8:48 PM
and get people into the idea of doing school work more often. :) :) :) :)
59 Wireless so that the computers work faster, and better computers for classrooms Jan 13, 2010 8:49 PM
like Apel room for example because his computers keep breaking down.
60 I think that Ipods should be alowed during quiet working time becauxse it helps Jan 13, 2010 8:49 PM
you focus and calm down in order to do the work. On the other hand cellphones I
think should at least be alowed in class and to be on just in case of and
emergency however I do not think that people should be alowed to text or talk on
your phone during class, unless it is important. But that's just my opinion.
61 With all this technology i think we are kind of losing our creativity and times to use Jan 13, 2010 8:51 PM
our imagination on project work...
62 I think we should have facebook, it would help with some projects and if we are Jan 13, 2010 9:59 PM
done our work. !
63 More laptop access, but with a mandatory virus scan before connecting. Jan 13, 2010 10:02 PM
64 make wifi accessable to us for ipods so we can use the internet on our ipods for Jan 13, 2010 10:02 PM
studying
65 i think it would be very helpfull to have wi fi at school because you can reseach Jan 13, 2010 10:03 PM
things without having to leave the class room
66 i think that technology can be helpfull when its not distracting Jan 13, 2010 10:03 PM
67 We should get wi-fi, so we don't always need a computer if we have an iTouch Jan 13, 2010 10:04 PM
68 I think what we have right now is good. But it would be nice to have wifi. Jan 13, 2010 10:05 PM
69 I would like to have a class to learn about new technologies and how they are Jan 13, 2010 10:05 PM
involved in learning and teaching
70 I have nodieaa.. Jan 13, 2010 10:05 PM
71 Have a smart board in every class. Jan 13, 2010 10:06 PM
72 put some our all the libary on the inter ne as ditital book. some times its hard to Jan 13, 2010 10:06 PM
find books.
73 Math is hell (: Jan 13, 2010 10:07 PM
74 I think that when it is lunch time that yiou should only be aloud tyo come in a do Jan 13, 2010 10:07 PM
homework or school related work and not beable to do games.
75 i think that we should be able to listen to music in class when doing work Jan 13, 2010 10:08 PM
76 i use the computer at school alot. becuase i need it alot. i've been using it for Jan 13, 2010 10:09 PM
socials theses day to do a project about art in the 1800's and then in english i
have been using it to do a meaningful song. the internet helps me becuase in
texts books most of the time they seem like they talk like they are from a different
century to me and i have a hard time understanding them. but internet i seach
what i want to know or what i want to find out and it gives me the answer and alot
of times people say that when you do that it does help you learn. i dont learn by
reading out of a text book i learn by doing stuff and having things right in front of
me.with the internet i read it in my head while im looking for it and it sticks in my
head that way. and plus i seach for what i want and for me when i want to learn
stuff i read it over and over and over again in my head and sometimes it still
doesnt work but most of the times it does work for me. its more like stuff i want to
learn it sticks in my head but stuff i dont want to learn im not that interested.

77 I think Ipods/mp3 players should be allowed during silent class work, tests, Jan 13, 2010 10:10 PM
reading, ect. But the teacher should say when they would like the kids to unplug.
And if the rules aren't followed, take them away for the class. As for cell phones, I
don't think those should ever be allowed, because there is no way a kid can focus
while texting. However, if they are expecting an important call/text, they should tell
the teacher before hand, and ask
permission to leave class.
78 i think that it is appropriate in ways. Jan 13, 2010 10:10 PM
somways not so much, like texting i guess..
also they are somtimes very apporpriate with situations like if the computer lab is
all booked up, you can just have easy accsece.
79 I think that if someone is waiting for an important text or call from a parent or an Jan 13, 2010 10:11 PM
adult then they should tell the teacher beforehand and be allowed to get that call
or text.
80 maybe through txtinfg we could learn to study Jan 13, 2010 10:11 PM
81 no comments Jan 13, 2010 10:12 PM
82 Technology is a very important thing for a school to have, but i think the school Jan 13, 2010 10:14 PM
