Hello All:
As I scan the list with the names of those of you who are going to =
attend the New York convention, I'm wishing I could go so I could meet =
all of you whose names have become so familiar to me from reading the =
many, many posts I've learned from and appreciated since joining this =
wonderful list! (maybe some day-I hope!) I'd really love to meet you =
guys in person!
Anyway, I was wondering what you all feel about portable CD's in the =
classroom? I need some very excellent reasons why it would be =
beneficial to the students (I teach 9-12) to be able to listen, =
privately and quietly, to their own choice of music, while working =
steadily and quietly on their current projects. Of course, this type of =
activity would occur after all directions, discussions, etc... I can =
see, especially in those classes that are attended by the younger and =
less mature students (a great majority of freshmen) where this might =
help to keep the talking and socializing down to a minimum. In =
addition, the quality of work might increase and some of those who have =
a real problem staying on task with all the "social" distractions, may =
actually benefit from this-maybe??? I have a couple of Beg. Art classes =
in which I have so many freshmen whose main problem is staying on task =
and focusing on their work. ANY COMMENTS?
Thanks for your input.
Barb F.
