Role of Computers in Education

Computers are used in every field of work, and education is no exception. From creating a simple Word document to advanced codes, computers perform many major and minor operations in the education system. It helps students understand various complex things simply and straightforwardly.

Students now don’t have to be physically present in class; they can learn from the comfort of their homes. However, there are still many people who are unaware of the contribution of this technology to the education sector. If you are one among them, read this blog to learn more about the role of computers in the education sector.

Hi, here's an easy question for you that I can't find online for some reason. How exactly was Alloran enslaved? Every wiki article seems to gloss over this and it's been far too long since I've read the books to remember.

Also, what's your take on it? I remember always feeling vaguely disappointed because I couldn't figure how a yeerk would overpower an andalite, but do you think it works within the narrative, or is it just kind of a plot device to create The Abomination?

Compared to how things go down with Alloran, I think Aldrea's dramatic capture in Hork-Bajir Chronicles is way cooler. Esplin 9466 being ecstatic about finally being inside an andalite mind, only to have his abandoned host body attack him and rescue Aldrea, is one of my favorite scenes in the series.

But yeah, how it happens with Alloran (Andalite Chronicles p. 174 - 180) is deliberately obscured. Elfangor brings Esplin 9466 onboard the Jahar as a hostage, inside a hork-bajir. He gets distracted driving the ship, but returns to that hork-bajir to toss him out the door. Alloran tells Elfangor to flush the Pool ship, killing 1000s of defenseless yeerks. Elfangor refuses. They argue. They're interrupted "Chapman" punching Alloran and knocking him over/out. Elfangor thanks Chapman and starts to fly the Jahar back to get the Time Matrix, only to be shot at by "Loren."

At that point Elfangor realizes Chapman, Loren, and Alloran are all controllers — Chapman put yeerks in his own and Loren's heads as part of his bargain, and Esplin 9644 escaped his hork-bajir host, into the body that "Chapman" conveniently placed ear-down on the ground for him. Elfangor realizes he can't win against three controllers. He dumps Alloran/Esplin on the planet and flies off with the two humans locked in a back room to starve out their yeerks.

Group 6: Boosting Student Motivation - Bola & Marie

Bola and Marie wrapped up our student-led presentations with a bang! Their presentation covered some tools to make our classrooms more engaging that made educational use of popular technology applications. From Duolingo to Minecraft, they expertly showed us how to make applications work for us in the education system, which again aligns with the Five Pillars of Online Pedagogy, which calls upon us to allow students to develop mastery of tools and use what they know to demonstrate learning.

I often do not like breakout rooms. Forced discussions often end up with me doing most of the work, usually as the only one with their video and audio on. It is more isolating than collaborating. However, the breakout room I was in was likely the most helpful group I have had yet. We were tasked with discussing Duolingo, and I expressed that my knowledge extended only so far as my kids' obsession with maintaining their streak. This opened the dialogue for others to share that they did not use it, and they asked questions about my children. I shared that it is motivating; they like to compete, and most of our family fights are over, one or more needing to “Save my Streak!!!!” precisely at bedtime. A classmate asked if I had noticed an improvement in oral language acquisition, and I shared a story with them. My wife has taken our kids to her school, where someone who speaks Spanish would be. She thought they could try out their knowledge, and while they were great at their “canned” phrases, moving beyond the common conversational phrases was unsuccessful. The learning extended as far as knowledge about words and memorized phrases. A classmate shared that his friend was obsessed with the platform and had a streak 4 times the length the streak my kids had, and said he also had limited ability in open dialogue format. Fun fact: when I shared this with my teenage son, he vehemently denied it and said he could speak fluently to anyone. I laughed. Not my best parenting moment, but honestly, his viewpoint is inaccurate.

We took our discussion back to the larger class, and we all echoed the same sentiment. These tools are great as additional educational components but cannot replace learning. They are great for precisely the topic of this presentation - Boosting Student Motivation. They cannot take the place of education.

The Lifeblood of Learning: Social Bookmarking Tools for Students, Especially Those with Learning Differences

In today's information age, students navigate a vast ocean of online resources. But for students with learning differences, effectively managing and organizing this information can be a challenge. This is where social bookmarking tools and sites emerge as powerful allies in the educational journey.

Social bookmarking platforms allow students to save, categorize, and share webpages, articles, videos, and other online content. These tools offer a multitude of benefits, particularly for students with learning challenges such as dyslexia, ADHD, or visual impairments.

Firstly, social bookmarking tools promote organization. Students can create personalized collections or "boards" on specific topics, making it easier to revisit and reference saved materials. Imagine a student with dyslexia struggling to recall a specific website with helpful reading tools. With social bookmarking, they can effortlessly access it within their curated collection.

Furthermore, these platforms often allow adding tags and notes to saved resources. This empowers students with visual impairments to annotate webpages with descriptive text, making the information more accessible. Additionally, color-coding or using visual tags can benefit students with ADHD by enhancing visual memory and aiding information retrieval.

Collaboration is another key advantage. Social bookmarking sites often encourage students to share their collections with classmates or educators. This fosters peer-to-peer learning and allows students to discover valuable resources recommended by others. Imagine a student struggling with a particular concept. Through shared bookmarks, they can discover helpful tutorials or explainer videos curated by a classmate, fostering a sense of community and support.

Many social bookmarking tools offer accessibility features that cater to diverse learning needs. Text-to-speech conversion allows students with reading difficulties to listen to saved articles. Built-in dictionaries and thesauruses offer on-demand support for vocabulary comprehension. These features empower students with learning differences to engage with online content independently and confidently.

However, it's crucial to choose age-appropriate and educational-focused social bookmarking platforms. Parental guidance and teacher supervision can ensure students navigate these tools safely and productively. Additionally, educators can integrate social bookmarking into lesson plans, encouraging students to curate collections on specific subjects, promoting research skills and critical thinking.

Social bookmarking tools are not a silver bullet, but they are a valuable addition to a student's educational toolkit. By promoting organization, accessibility, collaboration, and personalized learning, these platforms empower all students, especially those with learning differences, to become active participants in the vast ocean of knowledge.

Siri, Alexa, My Privacy is Calling: Unveiling the AI Assistants in Our Pockets

They whisper from our phones, chime from our smart speakers, and even control our thermostats from afar. No, we're not talking about benevolent ghosts, but the ever-evolving world of AI personal assistants, those digital companions nestled snugly in our pockets and homes. But while these tech marvels make our lives undeniably easier, a whisper of concern echoes in the background: are we sacrificing our privacy for convenience?

Let's face it, these AI assistants are voracious data devourers. Every "Hey Siri" or "Alexa, play Beethoven" fuels their algorithmic engines, building detailed profiles of our habits, preferences, and even location data. While this personalized experience is undeniably cool (imagine a playlist crafted for your exact mood!), it paints a worrying picture: a digital map of our lives, laid bare in the silicon hearts of these assistants.

The concerns are real. Security breaches, targeted advertising, and even potential government access to this data are no longer dystopian fiction. This raises some crucial questions:

Who owns our data? Who controls how it's used and for what purposes? Are we truly informed about the extent of data collection? Do we fully understand the hidden costs of whispering commands to our digital helpers? How can we strike a balance between convenience and privacy? Can we enjoy the benefits of AI assistants without feeling like Big Brother is eavesdropping on our grocery lists? The good news is, we're not powerless. We can be proactive guardians of our digital selves. Here are some practical steps we can take:

Read the privacy policies! Yes, they're long and dry, but understanding how your data is used is crucial. Adjust your privacy settings. Most AI assistants offer some level of control over data collection and use. Take advantage of them! Think before you speak. Do you need to tell your assistant your address to order pizza? Sometimes, the old-fashioned phone call is best. Demand transparency and accountability. Let tech companies know we value our privacy and expect responsible data handling. Ultimately, AI personal assistants are powerful tools, capable of enriching our lives. But like any tool, they require responsible use and careful consideration. Let's not surrender our privacy in exchange for convenience. Instead, let's be informed, discerning users, navigating the exciting world of AI with our eyes wide open (and our voices whispering responsibly).

Together, we can ensure that the future of AI assistants is one where convenience and privacy dance in perfect harmony, without Big Brother ever getting invited to the party.
