hi guys i need a speech for this topic textbooks should not be replaced by technology in high schools​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In today's digital age and with every child ( sometimes even in Pre K !) having access to a mobile phone or tablet ,it is worth considering whether tablets should be introduced into schools to replace text books .

Tempting as it may be for schools to move into this modern age, there are many points which need to be considered first before deciding on whether to introduce tablets in order to replace textbooks .

Students who read print from textbooks comprehend and retain the information better than reading off a tablet . The American Optometric Association states that hand held devices can cause Computer Vision Syndrome resulting in eyestrain ,blurry vision and even migraines.

There is considerable expenses in introducing tablets to a school .This may make it beyond the reach of some schools who deal with tight budgets and lack of any sponsorship.

If students are to each given a tablet ,then there will need for a High Quality Wi-Fi Server  installed at the school .This can work out initially to be expensive .

Schools will be required to purchase the hardware ( The Tablet).Even if the school is small this will involve considerable expense.

Schools will have to buy in various software packages ( Textbooks and programs).

All teachers and administrators will have to attend training programs to use the tablets and relevant software.The teachers must be fully versed in using tablets so they can also teach their students

Statistics have shown that the cost of e-text books supplied to an Ipad is 552 % higher than providing a new textbook.

Estimates have been given that the annual cost,per student per class, with tablets would be $71.55 as opposed to $14.26 for text books .( Lee Wilson ,Economy & Education ,K12 Publishing)

Budgets have to be put aside to repair tablets by a skilled technician when there is a fault .In addition Tablet batteries last normally a maximum of two years .These are expensive to replace particularly if a school has to replace a few hundred at a time .

Tablets are prone to theft as they can be utilized in daily life for many tasks .Additional Insurance would probably have to be taken out by the school .

The average battery life of a tablet is 7 hours . This means that chargers would have to be provided for students to use after the school day in order to complete their homework .The end result is more expensive outlay.

Studies have shown that people tend to read digital text between 20 to 30 per cent slower than textbooks . This obviously impacts on the amount of time available to get work completed .Students who read print from textbooks comprehend and retain the information better than reading off a tablet .

The American Optometric Association states that hand held devices can cause Computer Vision Syndrome resulting in eyestrain ,blurry vision and even migraines.

Studies have shown that mobile device users have a higher risk of developing carpal tunnel ,neck pain and fibromyalgia .

Not all schools can afford to buy and develop a program for students to use tablets instead of textbooks . This will lead to a further divide between rich and poor school districts. Remember that many rural areas do still not have access to an effective broad band .

Printed textbooks are not subject to downloadable viruses which result in the whole Tablet freezing and no work getting done .It may seem old fashioned but the reality is that a textbook is more reliable .

In the classroom students will often pay more attention to their apps, emails and games than to their e- textbooks .Four fifths of students under 18 multitask whilst using digital media and this will result in insufficient attention being given to elearning text .The temptation to use the tablet in class or home for personal use other than lessons is undeniable.

Why is the spider lady more interesting to the people than the angel? She spins a web. She openly shares her story. She can predict the future. She is a miracle healer

Answers

Answer:

She openly shares her story.

Explanation:

Gabriel Garcia Marquez's short story "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" is a story of magic realism that revolves around the eponymous character of the story. The story deals with themes of supernatural elements, angels, and a spider lady, and presents themes of cruelty and callousness in the story.

The Spider-Girl/Lady was the new attraction at the carnival, that distracted the attention from the fallen angel. Soon, most of the people shifted their attention to the Spider Lady, not only because they've grown bored of the fallen angel but also the spider lady can respond to their queries while the old man hadn't.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Passive voices are just another way to write a sentence by altering the relationship between the verb and the subject. See the re-written forms below.

What is passive voice?

When a sentence is written such that the relationship between the verb and the subject is indirect, the sentence is said to have been written in a passive voice.

Hence the sentences above, reworded into their passive-voice version are:

2. The thief will be caught

3. We will be invited for Sharon's party next Friday

4. This castle was built 400 years ago

Explain the poetic. You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Answers

The words “You don’t have to feel like a waste of space” meaning that you yourself are worth something so you are not a waste. “You are original, cannot be replaced” it means you are the only one out there. Nobody is exactly like you, so if you disappear no replica can be made. “If you only knew what the future holds” means that there is a lot of potential for you and it gets better in the future. “After a hurricane comes a rainbow” meaning that it always gets worse before it gets better. So in all it starts from telling you, you are something and someone and to keep in mind that it will be worse but in the future the rainbow will show the light of how it gets better.
