I personally think that iPods, PDAs and laptops can help you with schoolwork, but not if used in excess. Before a test, for instance, listening to music could calm you down and stimulate your mind for the test. Also, PDAs and laptops can be useful study tools. However, when people use these electronics in class, it becomes distracting.

tell them to use the computer frequently, I learn computing myself without help of anyone, and at that time, I can't even do algebra, I'm still an elementary student when started using computer, playing with it almost everyday since I know computer. And look, now my computer literacy is above most people I know around me.

Teaching is one of the most challenging professions because learners fall into so many categories.  Computers are a great resource if one has a multiple presentation program.  Students can proceed at their own pace, they can hear and see the material, and at some point, they may virtually experience the lesson.  Pencils, pens, and paper are good tools, memorization exercises seem to help the ability to recall, exercise, especially stretch, help the body become more alert and less distracted, tape recorders are great for speech class and therapy.  Technology has its uses, but they are limited by the teacher's mind.

well first of all good luck in college.\nIt is recommended that you should get a lower line laptop because they are often easier to handle than the real hi level of laptops.\nsecond reason it is wise to use a simpler laptop because most laptops are the same.\nget a good processor and good amount of memory on the laptop\nas well as a 40-60 giga hard disk and that is fine for school. at home do the same for the desktop and you are set for moving files from one another. The desktop should be used for the heavier work do not put the laptop to hard work it will probably run out of gas. \nThe heavy work should be done on the desktop when she comes home.Get a big hard disk and a good processor as well as a good size memory and you are all set good luck

There are technology grants running around all over out there.  You should have someone at the central office who can help you research grants.  It takes work, and it would belong to the school, but it is one way.  You would have to show how the computer would benefit your students.  The other way to get a cheap one is ebay, but remember, you get what you pay for.

I'm a freshman in college, and I'm really not used to studying (never had to before.) A nice invention would be something that could copy things from a book and paste it into your memory -- short or long term. That would be a big help.

I go to college too, and we have the same connection, however, what some students do is have a wireless router. From what i know, its alright to have one for yourself, but against the rules to distribute the password and share your connection with others. Good luck, i'll just stick with the ethernet connection, and wireless from the school when available.\n\nP.S. my school also has resnet...

Find a tutor, use them in the subject you need the most. Colleges post tutors in just about every field.

it depends what facilities you have in your class... if you are still in school.. you can try it with projector:). and bring loads of good materials linked to your subject. have good eye contact with people sitting infronto of you... ask themn questions.. give them opportunity to ask question... if you can find posters or pictured related to your subject... show them...\nspeak.. but dont give lecture.. just behave as if you are telling them a story and you should have good sence of humour :)

The answer is YES !! Most colleges have computer labs with PC's, but more and more schools are going towards integration of technology in the classroom. What that means in plain English is that more of your term papers, research and "grunt work" in studying will be opn-line. A suggestion however: before you go out there and blow several hundred dollars on a laptop with all the bells and whistles, do some research and you will find a lot of good, used laptops out there at a much cheaper price than new.\n\nI have a Compaq Presario 1247 laptop, I use for teaching, research, as well as my activities in Seqrch & Rescue and its a hardworking cyber beast !! It has Win 98 2nd edition and is about 8 years old. Sing out if you need further info.\nHope this helps !!\nThe Wolf

If there is a college near you with a computer science department, you should hang fliers there.  I'm sure there's a student who would love to do this just for the experience.

Ask what YOU want to know. Try to ask stuff that you cannot find on the college's site or brochures. Asking some of the college students themselves is a lot of times more rewarding than whoever is leading the tour or session.\n\nA good question is:\nIf there was one thing you would change about this college, what would it be and why?

Tough. I recommend connecting with local college networks. You may want to go the library route as well. Certain college libraries use Link +, which has a large number of .pdf texts, journals, and books. If you're looking for bestsellers though, you're best bet is going to be torrent sites. Keep in mind that some e-books, Harry Potter for example, are copywrite protected.
