Vision of Students Today
Are the times and activities accurate that are portrayed in this video? What is the videographers theme? Do you spend your time in a similar manner? Do you feel that communication skills are speaking skills or writing skills? Do you multi task? Should you be allowed to multi task during school hours?

Yes. The videographers theme I think is that college students have alot to do and technology is helping and hurting them. They have very busy lives. Yes but i dont study for 3 hours althought i probably should. I believe communication skills are speaking and writing. I multi-task alot I am a woman. yes, you can get more things done.

Yes, I think that the times and activities are accurate in this video. I think that the theme of the video is that most young people spend a lot of time on line and using technology to study instead of traditional books and in the classrooms like they used to. In some ways, I do spend my time the way that the students in the video did, but I don't spend nearly as much time on line and e-mailing as they did. I think that I spend more time reading and actually studying from books. I think that communication skills are both speaking and writing because you really can't communicate by just one means. We probably communicate more by speaking but you still have to be able to write things down. I do multi task some, but mostly I prefer to do one thing at a time so I won't mess something up. I think that if you are multi tasking during a class, it would be okay if it had something to do with that class. The students in the video were e-mailing and doing other things that didn't have anything to do with the class, so I don't think that's a very good idea. If you don't pay attention, how would you know what the class was about.

Based on my experiences the times and activities are accurate. The theme the videographer is following is that technology is important in the school day. I have my share of tech involved time. Communication skills are speaking skills and writing skills, but are also expressing your self in many ways. I multi task every day and usuaslly involves the computer and dinner and home work. I should be aloud to multitask during school hours as long as it does not disturbe my work.

Yes, I believe that some of the times and activities are accurate on this video. The videographers theme is that students especially in college have a lot going on in their life. Sometimes technology helps them out if they need something done quickly. But, technology can hurt them if they are not using the right sources or using the programs right.
I do spend my time somewhat like the peple on this video. I am on the computer a lot but lately it is mainly for school work. So, I guess I am on the computer and studying at the same time.
I do believe that believe that communication skills are speaking and writing skills. I believ this because when you talk you re communicating and when you write something aand give it to someone you are communicating. Yes, I multitask a lot. This is why, I think we should be able to multitask in school. Especially, if it is doing our work and talking. Most students can talk while, completing all of their work on time.

This video was very accurate. It was interesting to see what each of the students said on their laptop or notebook. Many things I never would have even believed. Imagine being in a class of over 100! It would be super hard to control that class! My favorite was when the girl said that the job she will have when she graduates, probably doesn't exist today. That means that by the time we graduate, there will be even more jobs!
The videographer's theme is that we are almost stuck in between the technology and old fashioned way of doing things. He also wants to show us that we have to do more than one thing at once to fit everything into a twenty-four hour day.
In some ways I feel that I spend my time in the same way. I don't spend that much time on the phone or sending emails, although I do spend a rather large amount of time on the internet. I like doing work on the computer, because I can type faster than I can write, and you save money on pencils and replaceable lead.
I think that communication skills are both speaking and writing skills because you need to be able to speak well in order to communicate with someone as well as read and write well. Most teenagers have a cell phone and some type of internet communication. We need to know how to speak and write so that our friends can understand us.
Yes, I multi task. During class while we watch the informational videos, I do my homework for that night. I can still listen and it makes it easier. I am involved in so many things that I rarely have time to do anything. Multi tasking should be allowed during school because students can do more than one thing at a time.

Yes, the times and activities are accurate that are portrayed in this video.
I think that the videographer's theme is to inform people that the aveerage college student spends way to much money on things that don't even most of benefit them.
Yes, I do spend most of my time in a similar manner, but even though I could use it, I don't study for 3hours.
I believe that communication skills are both speaking and writing skills. Some people like to express their thoughts and feelings in both of those ways.
Yes, I multi-task all the time... and yes, I think that we should because we could get more work done, but then again, it might throw some kids off task too quickly.

Yes, I think the times and activities were portrayed very accurately. I think the videographer theme was to show just how everything had changed and how we aren't begin prepared for the future, just the now. Yes, i do spend most of my time like the students in the video. I also am a multi-tasker. At this very moment, i am blogging and watching a movie at the same time. Later tonight i will probably will do homework, listen to music, and eat all at the same time. I think communication skills have nothing to do with speaking or writing classes. Communication is how you react, tolerate, and respond to different people. I think we should be allowed to multitask. We have only 45 minutes to get in a whole days lesson. I think we should be allowed to do things during our lunch. Teachers are always yelling at kids to stop talking in class, and that we should do that at lunch. But if we are allowed to talk and eat, we should be allowed to work and eat.

The times and activities are accurate in this video. The videographer’s point of his theme is to show how much school has changed from years ago. We used to use chalkboard, then white boards now we have smart boards to use. I could probably do something other with my time than what I do because I text and am on the internet a lot. I feel that communication skills and writing skills are both communication skills. I think that speaking skills are more useful communication wise. Yes, I am very good at multi-tasking I can do allot at one time, unless I’m under pressure. I think that if you can multi-task and still pay attention you should be allowed to do it during school.

yes the phtographers i think is that the colledge students do a lot of work and technology is not only helpinjg but it is also hurting them. there lives are so busy and i would not be able to keep up. i dont study for more thana half hour so i do not kno how they are able to do it. i would be falling asleep in the process of studing. i am afraid of what will happen when i go to colledge. i am iable to oget up on time and stay awake but i would not be able to study for three hours.
Yeah the activities are true that are on the video. This video show’s what students do in class and there spare time. Yeah I come home get on the computer*Aim, myspace*, texting, then I eat then I take a shower pick my clothes put and then I work on my homework. Yes I feel they are both, you can use them both. Yes I am a big multi tasker. I multi task everything mostly.*lol* Yes we should be allowed to multi task during school hours that would be so awesome to bad its not going to happen!

Yes, the times and activities are accurate in this video. As I was watching this video I noticed that allot of the college students were holding up signs. Either, on their notebook or on their laptop. I think the videographers theme was to show his viewers that students have allot going on in their life and by using technology it helps them.
Sometimes I do spend my time like the students in the video. But other times I spend my time allot wiser than I do other times. Yes, I do fell that communication skills are speaking skills and writing skills. I fell this way only because when you write a note to someone technically you’re communicating with them. Also, when you're naturally speaking to a person face to face you are communicating with them. (As I pointed out before.)
Yes I do multi task. Sometimes some one can be speaking to me and (I can understand exactly what they are saying) I could be writing some notes down off the white board.
No, I think that we should not be able to multi task during school hours. I mean that might cause some students to pretend that they would be listening to their teacher but would be texting their friends under the desk or behind a textbook. That’s why I think that we shouldn’t be allowed to multi task during school, unless we a watching a video or listening to our teachers and take notes at the same time.
Yes. The times and activities are accurate. I think it shows that alot of time students spends has something to do with technology. The photographers theme is to show that useing technology has many possitive effects and then again some negetive affects. I think that the time the students spend on stuff is accurate to the time I also spend. Communication skills I believe go along with with both speaking and writing skills. This is because if you can speak right then when you write it down it will be right in the correct manner. I multi-task a whole lot! I multi-task in most of the things I do each day. I think you should be allowd to muti-task during school. You might not get stuff written down because you are doin what ever else, but that is your fault and if you don't feel the need to pay attention and work hard to become what you want then that is your faukt not anyone elses.

Yes, I think that technology and the new inventions that are coming out are hurting some of the students but helping others. Yeah but i don't study as much as i should. Yes I think that communication skills are speaking and writing skills. Yes I multi task alot while im doing homework or other chores. Yes, I think that if it's necessary to do so during school hours then you should be able to.
From what I know that the collegians I know have told me, the time and activities in the video are accurate. In the video, they said that only 18% of the teachers’ will know your name. From what I have been told by everyone, that is as true as me or you. And the information they had shown, like: the average college student spends 3 hours on the computer everyday, the student spends 1.5 hours watching T.V, and how every student will spend 4.5 hours studying for some sort of exam. Everything depicted in the video is as accurate as you will ever get. The videographers theme in the video was to depict the way our college students live their everyday lives in the rapidly changing world. The way students learn in college these days, has now made the learning ways of the 19th and 20th centuries obsolete. But the way students live their lives, on the computer and what not. I usually spend 1 hour watching T.V, about 30 minutes on the computer, and about 3 hours on the studying. I know that is a tad bit shorter than the time students study, but I pass with that amount of studying. And if I pass, I’m happy, and if I’m happy then my momma is happy too. I believe that communication skills are both speaking and writing skills in the same. I mean sure, you can communicate with some one through the well constructed ways of a letter; but if you really want to catch the attention of a person, you will talk to them. When you write a letter to communicate, you can’t express you speaking skills which include: your cunning, your persuasive say how, or your charisma towards a person, all while you talk to a person, you can express all of these things. Now, see if you can get all of that out of a written letter. Heck, I can’t even get that out of a letter. And, do I multi task? My answer to that is yes. Everything I do in life is some form of multi task force. Even when I seem as if I am doing nothing, I am really thinking of the next tasks that are at hand. But some people may get stressed out by the thought of taking on more than one objective at a time; but I just see it as another day. Yes ma’am I do. And I think students should be able to multi task during school hours because, it builds character, and stress management skills as you learn to cope with the changing work conditions. Heck, even I multi task in school on a daily basis. That’s just how I live my life.

Yes,the times and activities portrayed in the movie are accurate. The videographers theme is that students have to cram all there work together get little time to do other things. Yes I spend my time in a similar manner but I don't study or do homework for 3 hours. I feel that communication skills are also speaking and writing skills. I have more fun in my schedule and I don't have to spend almost all my day working. Yes I multi-task usually on the computer or when doing my homework. No I don't think we should be allowed to multi-task in school because we would probably mess up to much or not pay attention.
All the times and activities showed in this video are true. I mean sometimes in class I wish I could be on MySpace in stead of boring my head off about something I will most likely never use in life. I think the videographers theme of this video is not only talking to the student but with the teachers too! What I mean is that the students need to learn and be focused on what we are doing in class, and some teachers need to find a different method to teach us with so we won’t be tempted to do non learning activities during class. Most of the facts included in this video are true for me, but not always, such as I don’t always study for 3 hours every night or get on MySpace during class. I do think that communication skills included both speaking and writing skills. My reasoning would be talking to people is communicating and talking to someone, and writing a newspaper article you need to reach out and grab the reading attention. Yes, most of the time I do end up multitasking, actually sometimes I really don’t mind it though. Most of the time that I do put into multitasking it’s a rush, and it usually happens when I have a lot of homework. Multitasking should be allowed during school hours if student miss notes in class it will be there fault.

Yes, I think the times and activities are accurate. I think that the videographer’s theme is portraying the life of a college students life in school and how technology is there friend and foe. Yes, I spend my time the same way except for the whole study for 3 hours thing. I believe communication skills are both speaking and writing skills. Yes, I multi-task a lot. I think you should be able to multi-task during school because you would get more done in a day.

Yes. The videographers theme is life through the eyes of the students. I can completly relate to the students in this video. My life is extremly similar to the life of the students' portrayed in this video. Communication skills are now turning into writing skills rather than speaking skills. I multi task all of the time. I don't have a choice. The world as it is leaves me no other choice. Furthermore, we already are allowed to multi task during school, because the schools are part of the reason that we are forced to.

The Facts in the video all depends on the school you go to. Smaller school, smaller classes. The videographers theme is to say that you need to make the most out of your college years. I spend most of my time listening to music and drawing or playing on the computer (mostly Gaia or Deviantart; both art/freewrite sites.) I feel that communication is both speaking and writing skills, it just depends on wich way you express your thoughts. I am FORCED to multi-task. I think that we should be allowed to multi-task more during school. that's a good idea!

I think the times and activities are very accurate in this video. The videographers theme in this video is that technology really isn't helping us. It is actually making our futures worse. I think if we didn't have technology in classrooms today, people wouldn't be so preoccupied with other things. I think all the technology is foreshadowing our minds to know what is really important. Reading a book is a lot more important than sitting on the computer for two and a half hours playing a game. I think people who laugh when they say they don't read are really ignorant and stupid to think any technology is better than books. Technology is actually ruining our lives. I wish people would go back to the old way of teaching: pencil, paper, textbooks, lectures. People would get a more significant education.

I believe everything in the video Vision of Students Today is accurate. The problem with today's teaching is the computers are used too much. Some teachers expect the students to get all their school information from the computer. Some classes you do all yout work online. I think this goes on more in high school and college. Middle school teachers only have you do a few things with the computer. Some college classes are only done by computers not teachers. the teachers are in the class rooms but are not doing the teaching, the computer is doing the teaching.
I think the videographers theme is trying to tell society that we need the teachers in the class room. We need them doing the teaching so the students will learn. If some kids are relying on the computer to teach them, they will never learn. Many students need the one on one. The teacher-student relationship. If our parents are paying for us to learn, then it is the teachers job to teach us. Many students don't even go to class in college because it does not count against them. Some students even think college is one big party. They don't care that their parents are paying thousands of dollars for them to go. They don't even care.
I do not spend my time in class like this. My teachers try to make our school work fun. At least most of my teachers do. When it is fun, I think students learn more. Some of my classes we do blogs and power points. This is fun and I am learning at the same time. My teachers are in the class rooms teaching. They do not rely on a computer to teach us. I have good teachers that want me to get an education.
I think communication skills are both writing and speaking skills. I feel the teacher needs to speak to us for us to learn. We need to show them we have learned what they taught us by our writing. Some teachers just give busy work, a lot of writing, but we can not learn by just writing all the time. I need a teacher to teach me so I will understand my work.
I do multi task. I listen to music on my Zune while I am doing my homework. Sometimes I text my friends while I am studying or doing homework. I even eat while I am doing homework and studying. I would not have a lot of time to finish all my work if I don't multi task. Sometimes teachers give us too much work, they don't understand we have other classes we have to do work in also. I do not think you should be allowed to multi task during school hours if you are supposed to be learning or doing class work. Teachers need to have your full attention so they know you hear them and understand the work. Teachers need to realize each student learns in a different way. What works for one student may not work for another. We need teachers who want to teach us. We should not have to rely on the computers for our education.

I really liked this video because it was very interesting. The activities in this video that were portrayed were pretty accurate and valid. the reason is because students do spend alot of time on schoolwork, social, life and basic entertainment.
The videographer's theme in this video is to show how students use their time and what a student see's in school today. The students and their activities are way different than the students that were students tweny years ago. the students today spend alot of time on the computer because school now is basically how well you can work a computer.
I do spend my time in a similar manner. I do alot of instant messaging and texting. the reason kids my age text during class and get on myspace and youtube during class is because class is usually boring. the teachers need to spice class up if students are talking on their cell phones during class. I also study alot and get about 7 hours of sleep. This video explains alot about why technology is so important to students today.
I believe that communication skills are speaking skills and writing skills. Communication skills have to do with talking on the phone and writing emails and that relates to speaking and writing skills i think. The bigger your vocabulary is when you talk on the phone is the bigger your vocabulary is when you are writing an essay. those skills all relate together.
I always multi-task. If i dont multitask, i wouldnt be able to get thruogh school and the evening and homework. I probably multi-task the most when i am talking to friends because i talk on the phone alot when i am chatting with people online. I talk to my friends when i get home for about 2 and a half hours. I also multitask when i am doing homework. i will study and do my spanish homework at the same time. I look at the flash cards for my SAT words in between spanish questions. Any students taking advanced classes or highschool classes cant get through the night without multitasking.
I think multitasking should be allowed during school hours as long as the student is paying attention. if the student is not paying attention in your class, i dont think multi-tasking should be exceptable. Students shpuld be able to work on other subjects in their free time. I think that showa that they are responsible because they are trying to manage their time wisely. Managin their time wisely is going to have to be a skill that every student should learn if they want to reduce their stress level and getr all assignments done on time.
Jenny Bundy 8th
Yes. Because college students
have a lot of things to do and sometime it hard to do them all and i dont study for 3 hour or grt online that long and by the things i do i make time do do everyting some i study from books but not much. but in class and make time for everything i multi tasking and it all get done but college is still hard and you have to work for it..

Most things that are portrayed in this video are true, and are going on in classrooms today. If you are taking a course that is long and not exactly what you would call interesting, of course you will be compelled to things other than what you should be doing. If you have the world on your lap it is only natural to search it. Either out of curiosity or just boredom. While the teacher is up moving around at the chalkboard, students are sitting. I'm positive that students would much rather is the one moving around.
The videographers theme is that with persuasion. They are trying to get people to understand that to day's technology intertwined with 19th century classrooms just isn't working. With all the things available to us today at the very least the everyday learning experience should be bumped up with it.
I do not have a Myspace or a Facebook, but I do spend my time in similar ways. I go to school just like my fellow classmates. I come home, and on most days I attend dance classes from 4:30- 8:15. In my spare time I text, IM, talk on the phone, and hang out with my friends.
I do feel that communication skills include both writing and speaking skills. Which is why I also think that a writing and public speaking class should be mandatory.
I am a multi tasker, but so are a lot of kids my age. When your trying to juggle, school, extra curricular activities, and a social life doing more than one thing at a time is somewhat impulsive.
When you are in a classroom you should be focused on what you are learning. When you fooling participate, and give 100% into what you are doing, things turn out much better.
- Madison Hoke 2nd pd. ;)
I believe that the times in this video are correct. I didn’t think so at the beginning but then I had to think about it. The videographers theme is to show how much time, energy, and money college students use to get done with school. I do sort of spend my time in the same manner. I go on the computer for lots of time. I also study though so that makes it even more the alike. I believe that speaking and writing are communication skills. For the most part its speaking because many people speak more than writing information down to show someone. I do multi-task. Almost everyone has to multi-task to get things done. I think that multi-tasking should be aloud in school so students can cover more things and not worry about them later.

Are the times and activities accurate that are portrayed in this video? What is the videographers theme? Do you spend your time in a similar manner? Do you feel that communication skills are speaking skills or writing skills? Do you multi task? Should you be allowed to multi task during school hours?

P.S.
I just wanted to see if you would notice that I used your post. My real blog is below this one.
Yes, this video is very accurate because it is created by the students and only they would know. And in college I would bet that the hours are accurate too. I think that the videographers theme is to tell what it’s like to be a student in a college, and how it’s not all fun and games. Like I never thought that it would be so hard or expensive to be a college student until I saw that video. There is no way that I would want to spend my time in that manner and that is why I don’t. I do believe that writing and speaking are communication skills but speaking more than writing. Yes I do multi-task because if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to make it threw the day and that is why I think you should be able to multi-task during school hours.

That was an interesting video. I liked how the students wrote what they did during the day. I think that the times and activities portrayed in this video are accurate for most people. For me some of these times and events depend on the day. I usually don't spend that much time on a lot of things mentioned in this video, but I make up for the time doing other things. I also think that the schedule was showing the times of a college student’s activities more than a middle school student. The videographer's theme is that students do a lot of things in their day dealing with technology and they have to multi-task to get it all done in a day. I think the videographer did an exceptional job of doing this. I think communication skills include both speaking and writing. Both are used on a daily basis, and we need to know how to do both intelligently. We have to use both to communicate in different ways. I multi-task a good bit, although I'm not that good at it. I find that I excel in more areas when I do one thing at a time. One thing that I can do is listen to music and work. I think that music opens up my mind extremely well and helps my thoughts flow. I think it would be a bad idea to multi-task during school hours. If we try to do more than one thing at once then the things we do could create major conflict. For example if we are blogging on a computer while our teacher is speaking we might not catch something vitally important. That wouldn't be good.

I beleive that the times and activities are acurate in this video. The videographers theme is that students have more to do in one day that they actually have time to do. Most students might have to do 26 hours of work in a 24 hour period of time. I usually am on the computer for 2 hours a day at least and I have track practice everyday for an hour. I usually get a good amount of sleep every night and probably more than everyone else does. I beleive that communication skills are speaking and writing both. I really have to multitask to get everything done or I would be up until midnight finishing my homework. I think we should be able to multitask in school because I think we need to practice for when we really need to multitask. Sometimes students need to multitask to finish assignments and other things so if we were allowed then that would be good.

I think the times are accurate. I think the theme is that Students in college will have a lot of assignments, and computers amongst other things are helping them get things done. with that said, however, you must understand that technology will distract the students. I do not spend my time in a similar manner. As longs as you are communicating with some one in some way, they are all the same. I do not multi task. I wouldnt understand why it wouldnt be allowed.
Yes,some people will sit in class with a computer and not even do class work and get on facebook, myspace,AIM,ect. The videographers theme is teaching us about how many students acctually pay attention in class and how many who don't. Yes but I don't study as much as I should. I think comunication skills are speaking skills because when you are speaking you are pretty much practicing your speach. Yes. I multi task alot. We should be able to multitask in school because we could get things done a whole lot faster.

Yes, I think the times and activities were portrayed very accurately. I think the videographer’s theme was to show just how everything had changed and how we aren't prepared for the future, just the now. Yes, I do spend most of my time like the students in the video. I also am a multi-tasker. At this very moment, I am blogging and watching a movie at the same time. Later tonight I will probably will do homework, listen to music, and eat all at the same time. I think communication skills have nothing to do with speaking or writing classes. Communication is how you react, tolerate, and respond to different people. I think we should be allowed to multitask. We have only 45 minutes to get in a whole days lesson. I think we should be allowed to do things during our lunch. Teachers are always yelling at kids to stop talking in class, and that we should do that at lunch. But if we are allowed to talk and eat, we should be allowed to work and eat.

Yes, the times are accurate that are portrayed in this video. The videographers theme is that technology is needed. Yes, I spend my time like this also, I am on myspace about 2 to 3 hours a night and sleep probably 6 hours. I think that both speaking and writing are communacation skills. Yes, I do multi task. Yes, I think you should be able to multi task in school because after you do not have enough time.
Taylor Gross 2nd period
Yes. I think this video portrays how when you are in college you have a ton of work and technology can help a lot but equally hurt you, also college students use the technology (that is at their disposal all night all day) to study instead of the traditional book method. I honestly am a very busy person, I go to my sports practices every night then I immediately get home get online and do my homework. (It takes forever). I believe very much that communication skills are writing and speaking skills, how else would we communicate? To say I am a multi-tasker would be unfair, I can multi task but I can only do it with certain things like chatting with my friends while I do my homework. I think we should be aloud because most people get work done faster and they don’t have homework, in fact most people already multi task during school so they don’t have homework.
Yes, I think the times and activities are accurate in this movie. I think the videographer’s theme was to show how much we use technology and how it may help us and hurt us a lot, and how busy some people are and how some spend their time. Yes, I do spend my time doing similar manners. I spend a lot of time studying and doing school work. I don't do as much computer work but I do use the computer. Also, I only 24 hours in my day, not over 26. Yes, I do think that communication skills are speaking and writing skills. Either way you are telling or letting someone know some kind of information. I do muli-task or I at least try to. It may take more time or sometimes less time to do stuff when you mulit-task but it’s more fun if you do…I guess it could be less fun at times as well. I do not think we should muli-task during school. During school we should concentrate on our school work and pay attention to the teacher. If we did muli-task we would never learn anything. Muli-tasking can get us into trouble during school hours and sometimes the things we are muli-tasking aren’t even school related.

Yes, I think that the activities and the times the students mentioned are accurate. It is true that students in this day and age use the computer and spend more time on the computer than they do any other activity on a daily basis.
The theme I guess would be that times have changed and the classroom setting along withe the style of teaching needs to also change. In order for teaching to be more productive and learning absorbed in a students mind changes need to be made in the classroom and in the educational system.
I don’t spend as much time as these college students do on the computer. I think it is the older students that spend the most time on the computer because they have more freedom. As a Junior High student, I still have to spend more time on a daily basis in the classroom. High School students do also, and we are not allowed our own computers as the college students are in the video. I do spend a lot of my time at home on the computer e-mailing friends, using the face book, listening to music and on aim.
I think communication skills are both speaking and writing. We need to talk to communicate some things and feelings that cannot be expressed properly in writing. Also, we need the writing skills to communicate when we are unable to speak to the other person or persons. Both are important to the human nature.
Everyone multi-tasks. It is normal in this day to be able to do more than one thing at a time. We listen, type on the computer, text on our cell phones, talk, walk, watch tv, etc. We almost have to be doing more than one thing at a time to fit everything into our day.
I don’t really know what I would be doing in school to multi-task. The teachers would not allow us to use computers and cell phones, talk to friends and study at the same time. Some kids would not be able to learn if they had to do more than one thing at a time. They have a short attention span. I think it would be determined by what the tasks were we are to do as to whether or not multi-tasking could take place and be productive in the classroom.

Yes, students everywhere today are dealing with having too many things to do. Most classrooms are still pretty boring and not very active.
I enjoyed the part about the teacher writing on the chalkboard. It explained that if a teacher wrote on the board, at least they are getting up and moving around. This reminded me of a time at Dunbar. We had a teacher one year that didn’t even get out of her set. It became so evident that the students and I started keeping track of how many days she didn’t move from her seat. We began tallying the days. After arriving at 26 days, we gave her half a point, 26 ½ because she slid her big leather wheely chair to the other side of the room. This was the most movement that we saw out of her all year!! She did move when it was time for lunch. I know this is funny, but it is true! I think it is really sad when a teacher doesn’t even move to instruct their students!
The videographers theme is that teacher and professors in college don’t always keep up with the times especially about their knowledge of technology. Some teachers try to learn new technology skills. Some other teachers still give worksheets and make students do bookwork every single day. This becomes VERY boring for the students that are interested in computers and learning new technological skills.
These students are all older than Middle School, so some of their activities are different than ours. We don’t work or have jobs. We usually don’t take tests on a scan sheet, but most college kids do. This method really doesn’t show the teacher if students can be creative. I think that all my teachers know my name. There must be some teachers that have really large classes that get the names of students mixed up. Some college classes have hundreds of students, therefore the teacher would only know you by a number.
I know that communication skills are BOTH writing and speaking. I prefer speaking because I like to communicate that way. I don’t mind getting in front of people and speaking. I do agree that people can communicate by writing also. Some examples of communication through writing are e-mail, blogs, wikis, videos, MySpace, Face book, and MANY other ways! I am communicating right now to Mrs. Constable and the other students through this blog.
YES, I do multi-task! All students (grade 5-college) lives are being overloaded with too many things to do. Between schoolwork and outside activities, there just isn’t enough time to do everything. All kids want to have a very active social life, but more and more time has to be sacrificed to do school work and chores and other miscellaneous things. I do many things at once, especially on the computer. I definitely think that students should be able to multi-task at school as long as it is not interfering with your actual work.
In summary, I think that ALL teachers should start using MORE TECHNOLOGY to teach us!!

Yes, I think the video was very accurate. the videographers are trying to tell everybody that college can cost a lot when you get there, and that technology is very frustrated these days and it takes hours to do things on them when your suck or cant work it. Yes I spend my time like that but I don’t study for three hours like they do. I think communication skills are speaking skills because you have to speak to communicate. I do multi task what I do is I text on my phone and do homework at the same time. Yes I think we should be able to multi-task in school.
<3<3:-) BRITTANY 7th pd. <3<3:-)
Yes, the times and activities in this video are correct, students in grades 5 and up are having lots of pressure being put on them with homework. The theme of the videographer is trying to tell of how students in college have to do so much work, and yet some of it isn’t necessary. Yes, I do spend most of my time doing the things listed in this video. Yes, I do multi task; everyone does at least once a day. I think that students should be allowed to multi task during school because it will help them get ahead so they do not have to do too much work when they get home, and be able to do other things.
Ryan Wilson 5/6 period
Sam Haines
Yes, I think the times and activities in this video are very accurate. The reason I think they are accurate is that the collage students brought up Facebook which is a very popular website collage students use. I think the theme for this video is that collage students are using technology in classes very often compared to what they had been used to before. I spend my time in kind of the same way. What I mean by this is in my free time; I play video games and spend time on the computer. I think that communication skills are speaking skills, because speak and communicate mean about the same thing. The only time I think I multitask is when I talk to my friends on the phone while I play video games, which I have done twice recently. I don’t think you should be aloud to multitask during school hours because you might not understand the lesson if you are doing other things while learning.
Yes. This video displays accurate updated information on todays life as a student in college.
The videographers theme is about how todays students are forced to use adcanced technolgy and have a ton more work than they ever used to before our time. Students are forced to do so much work today that its preventing them from living normal lives which probably puts so much stress on them.
I do spend my life in a similar manner. When I get home from school, i hardly have time to eat, I have track practice at 4. Then, when i arrive home, at 6:00 or, sometimes 6:30, I want to rest, but i know that i have no time for rest. I start on my homework which takes around until 8:00 or so. Then i grab something to eat and check my myspace until around 9:00. I take a shower shortly after 9 or ten depending on how long it takes me to do my hw. As soon as i get out, i pick out my cloths for the next day, and i usually text the rest of the night, watch tv, or play on the computer until 12:00, sometimes 1:00. Very busy days.
I feel that half of the communtication skills are unrelated to anything that we will ever do in our future lives. I think that it is a waste of time and is very stressful when you do work that does not matter at all.
I'm on a constant multitask daily. I have so many things to do everyday that include:school, eat, chores, practice, homework, shower, prepared for the next day, and my cell phone and computer. I'm constantly doing something, weather its church, school, practice, homework, or just anything else. I never get enough sleep which is so stressing.
I think that you should be allowed to multi task doing school hours because its kind of a must at school. If you dont, then you will fall behind, which will cram up your day even more.
I think that the times and activities in this video are vary accurate cause that’s what people do. The videographers theme is the "vision of students today." When I am bored I do spend a lot of my time just like the people in the video. I mostly watch TV or get on the computer cause I don’t have a cell phone. I think that communication skills is writing and speaking skills cause if you couldn’t write or speak you would have no communication with people (unless you know sign language). Most o f the time I multi task, especially in school. I think that we should be allowed to multi task during school cause if we have some other assignment in that subject or in another subject and we couldn’t do it at home that we should be allowed to do it at school. (we will knock down the schools walls)

Yes, the times and activities are accurate that are portrayed in this video. The theme of the video is to show how technology can hurt and help you. The schdules of the students is somewhat the same as mine. It seems in the world today, most commumincation is skills aren't the same as speaking and writing. Now a days people use email, and cellphones to coumminicate instead of using their other coummincation skills. I do multi task. I agree that we should be able to multi task in school so we can get more things done, and it will help us in the future.

Yes, these activities are accurate. I believe that the videographers theme is to show how these young people use technology more than they use books for school. I have to say that I do spend alot more time on the computer than studying or homework. Yes, they are communication skills. I multi-task all the time. I sometimes do multi-task during school, but it throws me off most of the time then i can't remember the other thing im supposed to be doing.

Yes, I think the times and activities are accurate in this video. The videographer’s theme is that college students have a lot to do and almost not enough time to do it all in one day. I do spend my time a lot of the same ways that the people in the video did. I think that communication skill are both writing and speaking skills not just one. Yes I multi task sometimes. I think that we should be able to multi task during school.

Yes, the times and activities that are portrayed in this video are accurate. I think that the videographers theme is to portray how and what college students do in class. I also think that it shows how they feel about technology changing and how it affects them. I spend my time mostly in school. After school I come home, eat, play video games, then do my homework, reading, and studying. I get on the computer a lot, but probably not more than 2 hours. I think that communication skills are both speaking and writing skills. A person needs to communicate through language and speaking, but writing is also a way of communication. If you were unable to speak, you could still write to people as a way of communication. Yes, I multi task. I listen to my ipod while I do my homework, I watch tv while I read, and I text while I do everything. I don’t think that students should be allowed to multi task during school. I think that it would create problems and students wouldn’t learn as much as they would if they were just concentrating on one thing.
Yes,the activities are accurate in this video. The videographers theme was students spend way to much money on things the do not need for collage and that we kinda need to use technongly more. Yea,i kinda spend my time this way.I do ont spend three hours studing though.I feel that communication skills are both speaking skills and writing skills.Yea,I do multi task a lot actually! I think you should be able to multi task during school.Because it probably woudl help out a lot more.And it would make school a lot easier.

Yes, I think that this video is accurate. The videographers theme s that a lot of the stuff that we do in school do not relate to our lives at all. Yes, I spend my time in a similar manner. I feel that communication skills are speaking and writing skills. Yes I multi task. We have to multi task because when we are sitting in class we are listening to the teacher, we are taking notes, and we are thinking about what we are going to do after school with our friends.
Yes, I think there are times and activities accurate that are portrayed in this video. The videographers theme is that students espically college students are very busy. No usually I spend about fifthteen minutes and college students spend about three hours studying. I think that communication skills are both speaking and writing skills. Yes I do multi task because I am talking on the phone while I am doing my blog. Sometimes you should be able to because you can get work done easier but you shouldn't be able to talk on the phone while you are doing school work.

Yes, the video Vision of Students Today is very Accurate. I spent my time somewhat like the video. I don't study for 3 hours, even though I should. Communication skills are both speaking and writing in my opinion. Yes, I multi task I think all kids do. Today there is a lot more things to do, we have more technology tools that cause us to multitask. like texting, computers ect... The Videographers theme is how students use some of their time, and also a view of school through a students eyes. I feel we should be able to multi task in school. Multitasking is part of daily life for us kids today.
Audia Bartlett

I believe that the times and activities are accurate in this video. I feel that the videographer's theme is that students are more advanced in using technology and the education system has not caught of with them yet. Students are definately able to do more things at one time due to technology and they seem to be busier than students in the past.
I do spend my time the same way , but not as much time on the internet as the college students did. I am on the internet or listening to my ipod while I am doing my homework.
I think the communication skills for me are speaking skills. I know a lot of people instant message, text message, or use my space, but I don't do it much. I do multitask while I am doing my homework. I don't know if students should be allowed to multitask during school hours. I think that some students might not be able to stay focused on the work they should concentrating on.

Yes, the video was very accurate about what happens now with the teenagers now.
The photographers theme was what teenagers are doing instead of studying for school. Sometimes I spend my time mostly on the phone or on the computer but sometimes I spend my time lying around.
Yes, I think communication skills are both speaking and writing skills because you can talk to people in so many ways but those are the two major ways.
I can multi task but I’m not sure about other people. Yes , you should be able to multi task during school so you could talk and work on what you are studying.
~ Cheyenne Braden~ ~period 5&6~
Yes, the times and activities portrayed in this video are accurate. I think that the videographers theme is that a college students' life is very confused and deals alot with technology. Some of my time is spent in a similar manner. Although I don't study as often. I do multi-task very often. Yes, I think that you should be allowed to multi-task during school because we would be able to get things done faster.
Nathan Kolar
7TH PD.
Yes. The videographer here is saying that technology is important and shapes our daily lives, but we rely on it too much and its helping us and hurting also. I spend my time like that except my studying and sleeping are a lot shorter. I think that anything to do with words or relations is communication. I multi task all the time. I think that during school you should be aloud to multi task with things like assignments from other clasess and stuff like that, but not multitasking with other things.
Yes there are active times in this video because there are no teachers in the rooms.With you in college and that would be kinda scary. The videographers theme is that the time of students classes and the number of kids in the classes. Yes I spend time in chool because some kids have more kids in there calsses than usual. I feel that the communation skills are mostly writing skills because it said in the video that only 18% of the teaches there know your name. It would also do with writing because there are mostly writing with a penical all the time. I multi task because I am on two all star teams and I go back and fouth and it is really hard. No because then you will not learn anythng. Also becuause you need to learn things about technology so you can graduate.
Gabriella Constable
5th/6th period
The activities in this video are accurate and very common among our college students. I have family members and friends in college; they are so wrapped up in their jobs, schoolwork, and other tasks in their agenda that they have no time to spend on other activities. Between their books and class supplies for school, they have spent over 1,000 dollars. That is an outrageous amount of money for things that they sparsely use. We have to multitask in this world to succeed. If you focus on one task for too long, the other tasks you need to be doing will have doubled. The life of a student is hectic and demanding.
I do believe that the times and activities in the video are very accurate. The videographer’s theme was to show that there is little purpose in sitting in a classroom when in the soon future; nothing on paper will apply to them. Most jobs today involve technology and rarely involve handwriting anything. Schools should begin to focus on things that will apply to student’s future. In 10 years when my classmates are beginning to graduate college and apply for jobs, understanding technology will be a deciding factor in many positions.
Of the times displayed in the video, I find they are very similar to my distribution of time. I multi-task a lot. I think that if I didn’t multi-task, there would be no way I would accomplish everything I need to. Between school work, extra-curricular activities, and social events, I rarely have time just to relax. Multi-tasking makes my life a lot less hectic. School thrusts a lot of responsibility on students. I think that as long as tasks are accomplished thoroughly, students should be allowed to multi-task.
I believe communication involves both speaking skills and writing skills. I think speaking skills are out-weighing writing skills a little bit. I think that if you know how to speak and write intelligently, you will come across as more mature and responsible.

Mrs. Constable I can't get the movie to work on my computer
Yes, I think this video is very accurate. The videographer’s theme is to show us that most students in today's world are using technology to learn, which this is helping the and hurting them. It's also showing how society has changed.
Yes, I do spend a lot of my time like the students did in this video. I am a multi-taker. If I wasn't I wouldn't be able to get anything done. I'm always doing two or more things at once. For example, right now I'm texting and doing my blog, I do my homework while eating dinner, I can listen to music talk on the phone and text all at the same time while I'm doing my homework. I also can listen to music while working out,etc.
I think communication skills are both speaking and writing because you can talk to someone and be communicating with them or you can text or talk to on the computer and still be communicating.
Yes, I think we should be aloud to multi-task doing school. For example, I think we should be a loud to talk to our friends more.

Yes, I do think that the times and activities that are portrayed in this video is true. I think that the videographers theme was that collage students have a lot more technology than they need. Yes, I do spend my time in a similar manner. I think the communication skills we use are speaking and writing. Yes, I do multi task. No, I don't think we should be allowed to multi task during school hours because we usually wouldn't play attention in our classes and our grades would suffer.

Yes , I think that the times and activities in this intresting video are acurate. I think that the videographer is trying to portray that students use alot of technology, but just sit around and talk on their computers during class. I do get on the computer alot, and this is what alot of schools are like. Communication skills are both speaking and writing skills, because if you do not know correct grammar, your speaking skills won't be that great. Also, communication also includes e-mailing, and in this case you would need good writing skills. I do multi task, but I'm not too good at it. It depends on what you would be multi tasking during school to be able to do it. For example, if texting and paying attention in class is considered multi tasking, then no, I don't think that it should be allowed.
I believe the times and activities are accurate. I think they are accurate because I spend a lot of the time on the computer and those students are just older. I also think these times and activities are accurate because I sometimes spend two hours doing my homework and I’m only in the seventh grade. The videographers theme is there are to many things to do and there isn’t enough time to do them. Also I think his theme is that when you get into college than it will get lonely because the professors probably won’t know your name and they won’t care. I do spend my time in the same manner because I have to do my homework and it takes about an hour or to and I do spend time on the computer. I think communication skills are both writing and speaking skills because you can write letter to people and that communicating or you could talk to someone and that’s communicating also. I do multi task especially when I am doing my homework. I think you should be allowed to multi task during school hours so you could get your assignments finished faster.
Yes, the times and activities are accurate in this video. The videographers theme was to show us how technology has changed and it also showed us that we still do some other things from the past. Yes, sometimes I spend my time in a similar matter, but i take my time and do my homework. I think that it is both because you speak to people and you can also write to them. Yes, I do multi task. Yes because you have to finish assignments in a timely manner, you have to listen, you have to be able to perticipate. There are many things and examples of mlti tasking at school.
Franki *♥*
Yes, I think the activities shown in this video are accurate. I think the theme of this video is that students are gradually advancing in using technology and that pretty soon books will be a rare sight. Soon there will be holograms or something that you will just be able to throw down and read. PRESTO!!! I spend most of my time playing video games. I don't really get on the computer that much. I feel that communication are a mixture of speaking and writing skills. I multi-task constantly. I find myself trying to save time constantly. Whenever I am playing a video game and I get a text, I will wait until I get to a loading screen to read it. I think that multi-tasking is a very important aspect to grab onto. It should be desired by teachers for students to multi-task.
I think the theme is to show that two different lives collide between your social life and your school life. I do spend my time in that way I spend a lot more time on myspace and aol than I do studying.
When you usually get on the computer to study you have to get whet you are doing straight because the myspace or photobucket or yahoo button is right there and it can be tempting. If you get on the computer to study its not hard to get off task but it can be hard to get back on task. I feel that it is both, it can be anyway to communicate you can speak over the phone or straight to sombody, but you can also text or email sombody therefore it can be both.
Yes, I do think that the times and activities that are portrayed in this video are accurate. The videographer wants to show the viewers that he thinks school is boring, and that students should be taught in a better way. I do use the computer at home, but I also play a lot of sports, and I hang out with my friends. Communication skills involving both speaking and writing. You need to have good writing skills for communication, because e-mailing has become more and more popular. I do multi-task, but its more simple things like instant message and talk on the phone, or walk and chew gum. Multi-tasking should be allowed during school hours, because you need to be able to listen and take notes, and be able to comprehend what the teacher is saying. Multi-tasking is very important in lifestyles of today.
Katie Nunan 2nd period
Yes, I do believe that the time and activities are accurate in this video. I think the videographers theme is that we are stuck in between the technology of today, and old fashioned. I do believe that speaking skills and writing skills is a way to communicate. Yes, I always multitask. No because you might be trying to study but a friend is telling a good joke that you want too hear.
Sierra Greenlee
2nd
Yes, I think that the times and activities in this video are accurate. The videographers theme, in my opinion, is telling everyone who views this video that students are much pressured and are very busy, even more now that technology is continuously being introduced into the school systems. I do spend my time in a similar manner compared to those in the video. I feel that communication skills are speaking or writing skills because if we don't know how to communicate with our friends socially, then we will be lost when it comes time to prepare for some sort of test on communication within the classroom. I multitask a lot and it sometimes gets me in trouble, because I am at home doing my homework while I text, and my mom often yells at me because a ten minute assignment takes me almost half an hour. Yes, students should be allowed to multitask during school hours because there are simply not enough hours in a day. Teachers act like they are the only ones giving homework and they pile it on each night. I think that students should be allowed to be given an assignment, and if they understand it, the teacher lets them work on it while they try to explain it to the rest of the class.
Andrew Strand 8th Period
Yes, extremely so. They are saying, that the teaching style is becoming ineffective and outdated and that technology could either help us or hurt us. I definetly spend my time in a similar manner (whenever my sister isn't on the computer with homework). I feel communication skills are both speaking and writing. Yes, I multitask, a lot!!!! I think we should be allowed to multitask in school. It'd make everything so much easier.

1st prd
Yes, I believe the times and activities are accurate from what my brother has told me. Also in the video it is said that only 18% of teachers will know you by and that is true because only one teacher knows his name. The videographer’s purpose for the video is that college students have many things to do and not enough time to do it, that is partially their fault because sometimes technology helps and sidetracks them because they go on to Facebook in class which I know is an extremely popular site for High School students and College students. I do and I don’t spend my time in a similar manner because I have a myspace but I am almost never on it. Although I do get sidetracked and multitask all the time. Communication skills are speaking for me atleast. I have messaged people before but I talk a whole lot more than I write. Of course I multi-task, who doesn’t but I try to cut down on it so I can finish work at home. I don’t belive we should multi-task in school unless we have to for a certain because we are in the 21st century and I think that almost every student can.

Yes the times and activitys are accurate. That education has changed so much that if the walls can talk they would say that education is so iffrent now. No I go to practice and then spend sbout an hour on the computer. Yes I feel communication skills are speakin and writing. Yes I do multi task i talk on the phone and clean. Yes you should be able to multi task at school if u are able to.
The theme of this would have to do something with teens and what they do with what they have techonology wise today. Wheather they take to much advantage to it or not.
I don't spend my time in a similar manner. I really don't get on the computer unless I have homework for Constable's class or Mr. Patrick's class. Every once and a while I get on to play.
Speacking skill in my opition are writing or typing skills now a days because, everyone has texting or aim. Which they use on an everyday bases.
Yes, I have been know to multi task. If you have so much home work you have know other choice. To be able to get things done and turn them in on time you must be able to multi task.
I don't think we should have to multi task at school because the teachers' should not give us as much homework as they give us. If we didn't have that much homework then we wouldn't have to multi task.

Yes the times and activities that are portrayed in this video are acurate. The videograohers theme for this video is, to show how much time people spend daily on computers and electronics. To show how much money some things cost and how many people actualy use them during class and how much money it a laptop costs. I feel that they contribute to communication skills and that there are other things that also contribute to communication like, body language, sign language, and probably a whole lot of other things contribute to communcation skills but I just don't know all of them. Yes, I multi- task, I multi- task when I am doing the dishes, riding my bike, and just about everything else that doesn't involve school work. Yes, I think that students should be allowed to multi task at school, other wise students wouldn't be allowed to talk to their friends in the hallway on their way to class and they would end up talking during class even more than they do now. Nakoma 1st period o-
Yes, the times and activities are accurate in this video. I think the videoographer's theme was college students use a lot of technology. I don't really study that long, but it would probably help. I feel that communication skills are both speaking and writing skills because you basically have to know how to do both to communicate. I multi-task all the time. I probably do it way too much!! I think multi-tasking should be allowed during school hours because maybe we could get a lot more done and not have so much homework.

Yes, I do believe that the activities are accurate. Many students in the 21st century are using technology really often. Students are using the computer and internet more than the old textbooks. The video-graphers theme is that students spend a lot of their time using technology. This is good because it helps us prepare for the future. I do spend a bunch of my evening time on the computer. If you ask me I almost like things better when they are typed on computers. When teachers give you an assignment and want you to email it to them, you won't get points off for spelling because you have spell check. Teachers can also read the writing. Yes people can communicate through speaking and writing skills. Yes, I do multi task a lot. Right now I am studying for french and writing this blog so I am multi tasking right now. Sometimes I have to do other things like washing the dishes. While im doing that I usually study my spelling words. I really don’t think multi tasking during school hours is really good. You could get off track and have no clue what your teacher is talking about.

Yes, this videographer made a great point in this video. Students no longer want to learn in class. They are more involved in Facebook, MySpace, IPods, and cell phones. I believe that technology could be a great benefactor for schools, however, it hurts schools most of the time. The videographer is showing us that kids are more involved in social activities than in academics. More of my time is spent doing homework, but I always have my cell phone and I do text a lot. I believe communication skills are both speaking and writing skills. I believe this because when you communicate to people you must be able to write it down or type it, as I am now. Most times I am a multi-tasker. I text while doing homework, or I talk on the phone while doing chores. I believe that students should use their time as they please. If they don't gain what they need to suceed then that's their own fault for not doing what they are supposed to.

I believe that the times and activities are accurate in this video. The videographers theme is that students have more to do in one day that they actually have time to do. Most students might have to do a ton of work in a 24 hour period of time. I usually am on the computer for 3 hours a day at least. I usually get a good amount of sleep every night and probably more than everyone else does. I believe that communication skills are speaking and writing both. I really have to multitask to get everything done or I would be up until midnight finishing my homework. I think we should be able to multitask in school because I think we need to practice for when we really need to multitask.
Yes, the times and activities are accurate in this video. I think the videoographer's theme was college students use a lot of technology. I don't really study that long, but it would probably help. I feel that communication skills are both speaking and writing skills because you basically have to know how to do both to communicate. I multi-task all the time. I probably do it way too much!! I think multi-tasking should be allowed during school hours because maybe we could get a lot more done and not have so much homework.
Yes, I think the times and activities were portrayed very accurately. I think the videographer theme was to show just how everything had changed and how we aren't begin prepared for the future, just the now. Yes, i do spend most of my time like the students in the video. I also am a multi-tasker. At this very moment I am listening to music and doing my homework. I think that is hard for those who do a lot of sports. This is because when they get home they have to start on there work, then go to a practice or game, go to another practice, then come home eat, do more homework and by the time they get all that done it is probably around eleven. I think that you should be able to multi task during school hours because as long as you doing work than you can listen to your ipod or talk to you friends in a soft voice. I support this opinion because kids do it at home than why can't they do it at school also.

Yes, their are colleges like this one all over the world with some of the same troubles and problems. I think the videographer is trying to say what goes on in the lives of older students like the ones in the video and is trying to show that some classes are very overcrowded. No, I do not spend my time in the same way as the persons in the video that I just watched. I do think communication skills involve writing and speaking skills are the exact same. I do not multi task at all. I try to do things one little step at a time. I think the ones that are good at multi tasking should be aloud to, but those who have trouble with it should take it slow until they learn how to better.
Yes, I bet a lot of college classes are like this. The theme is life of a college student. It shows us serious things in a more laid back. I spend my time a lot like this. I am online a lot! But I try to stay off and use it for class work only. I also am on the phone a lot and do more reading of useless things than what I should like books for school or books in general. Even though they were written the where still speaking in a weird way. Oh yes I multi task all of the time! We should be but it could also be bad. Students could do something unnecessary things like face book in class, when you should multitask like take notes but still try to really learn what the teacher is saying.

I think he times and activities portrayed in this video are accurate. The videographer's theme is that technology really isn't such a great thing, but neither is learning the old way. I could say I spend time in a similar manner, but I'm not text messaging or on a laptop during class. I do like being online though. Yes, I belieave communication skills are speaking skills or writing skills. Phones or E-mail help a lot, but actual conversation and writing are skills that should not be missed out on. I multi task a bit, but I probably don't notice it. Sometimes I get bored in class and my thoughts just drift off. I used to draw in class but it doesn't seem like something I could do now. Actually, I'm multi tasking right now. I'm eating ice cream while typing this blog. Amazing, right? I don't think you should be allowed to multi task in school, though, if it's something they can prevent. On a side note, I felt bad for th students that had to spend a lot of money on books they never even used because of the advancing technology.

I think that the times and activities are pretty accurate on this video. I think that the amount of time on the internet was a little low, because people spend a lot more the 3 hours on the internet. People may not notice it, but they do.
The theme was showing the facts of how most of the students function in schools today. The truth of the things we do during classes, but I dont think you could blame us to much. I couldn't say that I spend my time like this, because they can get on Myspace and Facebook on their computers, but our computers don't allow that in our school. Communtication skills can be writing or speaking. It just depends on what is being said or how you are communicating.
I multi task like every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day, of every week, of every month and of every year pretty much. lol
I have to honestly say that I do multi task during class, but who doesn't? I think we should be allowed to multi task, because it's up to the student to choose how they are going to do in school. Even if your not allowed, people are still going to do it. Its up to the student on whether their work gets done or not.

I believe that this video is accurate. The videographers theme is that we are lucky but we have to do with a lot of problems. I do spend my time in a similar manner. I think that it is both personally. I multi-task all the time. I think that some people should be allowed to and some shouldn't. Some people have to pay full attention to the subject to understand it while others don't.
I think that the activity and times are most definitely accurate in this video. The theme of the video, was to show what kind of a future students might have. I spend my time on the computer a lot like some of the people in this video. Communication skills are definitely speaking and writing. I multi task all the time, like listening to music while I wash clothes or do my homework. I think we shouldn't really be aloud to multi task during school because it takes are attention off of what we really need to be learning. For me it's hard to concentrate at school while a bunch of things are going on around me, so it would be difficult for me.

I loved this blog this has been one of the best and easiest blog to blog about. I multi task a lot at my house like I could be on the phone and doing my homework at the same time it isn't that hard to do. I think that we should be able to multi task in school because if we have stuff to go to when we get home then we won't have time to do our homework. So if one teacher gives us too much work to do than we could do it in another class so then we wouldn't get a bad grade on the assignment. That’s why we should be able to multi task.
Yes , I think that technolgoy is making a easier and harder at times for students in general to make it through school. Technology can be a pain in the butt, but on the other hand it can make your life alot easier. I multi task all the time. I don't htink they have the right to take multi tasking away. You should be aloud to do what ever is needed to be done to make you life easier at school.

Yes, I think that the times and activities are accurate in this video. I think that the theme of the video is that most young people spend a lot of time on line and using technology to study instead of traditional books and in the classrooms like they used to. Yes I do spend time like the students in the video. I feel that communication skills are both. I can and do multi-task. I think we should be able to multi-task during school.
yay it loaded! well, the times and stuff portrayed are pretty accurate, but im sure that it varies from person to person. The videographer is saying that many kids spend more time doing junk than actually working on their work. My time spent varies from day to day. sometimes ill spend almost all of my day the computer or at school. I sleep ALOT more than 7 hours. I can not function on that little sleep. I usually get 8-9 hours. of course speaking and writing are both communication skills. Other than hand gestures, how do you communicate. I can multi-task, but too much of it makes me stress out and burst like a balloon. should you be allowed to multi task at school? It depends on the situation. Multi task as in study at the library and do other work that does not require a library is fine, but if you mean go on facebook and stuff like that than no? Someone might be able to look at that stuff and pay attention but i know i cannnot.
yes the time and activities are accurate in this video.the videographers theme is the stress in a college students life.yes i spend my time in a similiar matter.communication work is more of a speaking skill because you are talking.i multi task alot.yes you should be allowed to multi task because they give us to muck.
I did happen to see the videographers theme in this. I can not relate to this. Science does say that in one billion years the Earth day will be 32 hours long. I belive that the students in collage wish our day was that long. I do Multi task, but I don't commonly do it though. I belive it is easier to do one task at a time. I do study, but I should study more/
Yeah, I believe they are. I believe that the theme is that the college students have so much to do and pay for and time is working against them. I have a little more extra time than college kids, but on bad days when every teacher decides to give homework, I usually spend atleast 2 hours to get it all done. But that is about it. Otherwise, all my other time is spent on chores and playing with my siblings. I feel that communication skills are both skills. You communicate through speaking, but for those who can't, writing is the number one way to communicate. So, I believe you need both to communicate. Yes, I multi task. I usually multi task between taking care of my siblings, doing my homework, and doing my chores. It gets hard sometimes. I think we should be allowed to multi task during school. We could get a lot of things done.

Are the times and activities accurate that are portrayed in this video? Yes, but that is sadly it. The videographers theme is to illustrate the shocking invasion of technology over students. Do I spend your time in a similar manner? Rarely. I do feel that communication skills are speaking skills & writing skills, and computers are ruining that. While multi-tasking is helpful and quick, it should not be permitted in school if you need to have an exceptional job on a project. eric☺
Yes. I think the videographers theme is showing that students use technology more than they should. Yes, actually I do, but I use it for, like, foreign languages. Yes, I do feel that writing skills and Speaking skills are communication skills.Yes, actually, what ALL MY TEACHERS don't know is that multi-tasking is the only thing that makes me think. Yes!! Teachers and principals don't ralize multi-tasking helps most people think.
