Ideas for Better Education

Next year my school is supplying ever student with Ipads. Having Ipads allows us to do many more things and gives us unlimited internet access. the problem is some students may take advantage of this gift by playing games during school. The best way to keep students engaed is to keep them interested.

One idea to keep student interested would be to have some classes outside. There are many reasons why learning outdoors is better then learning indoors. First off when outside your in a much more open and free enviroment instead of being in jail-like classrooms. Also being exposed to sunlight and fresh air is much more stress releiving then stuffy classrooms.

Ipad Control

I think students should have contol over the applications that they download onto their Ipads. Students may need to download apps to easyer compleate assignments when they are unable to get permision by an administrator.

Common sense media

I think the website commonsensemedia.org could help parents teach their children things that they don't learn inside of school.

9 hour school days

As a student i believe if school days lasted 9 hours that torwards the end of it would become very hard to concentrate and it would also make it very hard to both do your homework and get enough sleep needed to go through a 9 hour day the next day.

Goal 2

My second goal is to bring less stress into the classroom.

Goal 1 Be a Beam

I am going to show support for people suffering from poverty.
