How important is spelling and grammar. I remember spelling test from kindergarten and I also remember that I was never good at them just as I continue to be a poor speller as well as grammar. I don’t truly feel that both are very important as long as my thoughts and ideas are not lost with my errors.

Another way I look at is that I am much more of a speaker than I am writer or reader that, I write as if I were speaking and while I am speaking I don’t pay attention to which there I am using and so when I write I type which ever one pops in my mind. I don’t always catch my error because when I proof read my righting I read it allowed. See my problem?

Here is an [unsigned] article which is making the e-mail circuit. It tries to prove that all of us read with a whole word approach.

Copyrighting

Who ever knows what copyrighting covers? People talk about how things are copyrighted but, do they truly know what it means for something to be copyrighted ? The truth is most people do not know what is or can be copyrighted. The hardest part is deciding what is or is not copyrighted and what are the rules for dealing with material that are copyrighted, That multiple times throughout history people have been accused and convicted of breaking copyright laws this, is because most people do not know them or how they work, that as long as people don't know or understand the laws they will continue to break them. The best thing that i have found to explain the copyright laws is an Internet sit that lists out what can be copyrighted and how the items are protected the website is http://www.copyright.gov/circus/circl.pdf

Digital learning

Should teachers learn how to use new technnology to teach students? Yes and no. Their is a study out about the students of today and how they learn that, it is different today with the increase of technology. Some argue that teachers need to chang how they teach in order for students to understand. Such as cuting down films making thins more visual and faster, this may or may not work. for me math is a class where i need to write the problems down and solve them on paper rather, than a computer and it is scarry how dependent we as a socity are on technology, what would we do if something were to happpen to it? the fact is that we should do things with the old and the new, that we need to find a balance between the old fasioned and the new and changing. so that we are not so dependent on one or the other. so in truth professors must look at what is changing and so themselfs cahnge how they teach but not completely just use what they know and update it. you know a little old school mixed with the new.

Academic Bias

Academic bias does it exist? Yes it does and it always will but so what. People know that some sort of bias exists in life because people themselfs are biased. should teachers be hired based on political beliefes NO. the fact is most young people get their political beliefes while growing up rather it be from family life, religion or other groups so, universitys should not have to hire based on believes but rather on experiance.

Academic Bias? Yes ther is some bias in the college instution but would you expect their, is some type of bias in everything so why the suprise in the educational system who knows. The thing that anoys me the most is that people only take the time to complain about it, and do survays about political bias yet the seem not to do much about it. Yes their is a liberal lean in most colleges, but, hay even in a name you know the College of liberal arts and sciences and insted of complaining that their is a bias do something creat a group or an originization to bring conseritive speakers to the university.

I cant believe that I never realized how much of the media is controlled by liberals. It is amazing how many sources are written by and for liberals.Yet the most amazing part is that the American public doesn't even notice or take the time too. One reason i think the public doesn't realizes that the media is mostly controlled by liberals is because most liberal media try's to stay neutral, where as Conservative media is easily point out, and are usually far right on the political spectrum.

So what about that vp debate or lack there of, it was so dry and at times very rehearsed i guess that is a good thing it should be informational . Also i am soo tired of hearing about palin and her past interviews can we move on already.
