Learning Obstacles

I think that today one of the biggest obstacles to a child's learning is the internet.  the internet is a very helpful tool for learning, but at the same time it can be incredibly distracting.  Things like facebook and websites with games can distract people from getting things done.  For the last few years in my classes half of the students would just use the internet for games during our lab time and then turn in their assignments late and say it wasn't their fault.  Since the internet is always expanding it makes it harder for kids to pay attention to just one thing.

  1. I totally agree. Internet in schools has been taking advantage of because of all the things you can do besides school work.

  3. i don't think elementary school age children should have a Facebook to begin with. that's just bad parenting.

  4. I couldn't agree more! I get distracted every time I open my laptop to try to do any type of homework. Even if it doesn't involve the use of internet at all.
