Unit 2: Library


I had taken pictures of the library that I typically go to when I have to study, do homework, or just want to read. This is Bird library, as you all should know. I shared some photos of my favorite spots here, I either find them very comfortable or I love the view that I can look off to. I also took a photo of the book I checked out, titled "Abortion Above the Law," because I found it to be interesting, especially because of the recent controversies revolving around this issue in the past few years.
Now, to answer the question of how technology influences my relationship with the library, I don't think there is a significant impact. It definitely varies with the circumstance, however. This is because, if I have a lot of work to do, or it is finals week, I will definitely spend more time in the library compared to a regular week. This is because I have technology with me that makes this studying easier and more convenient. If I didn't, however, I would still go to Bird but more anxious and wanting to leave.
When I go to Bird, I try to sit near a window with a nice view, because this helps me stay motivated when I need to be. Technology also has a similar effect. This is because when I have something to do on my laptop or it needs to be typed, I find it to be immediately easier than if I were to do it handwritten. This helps me feel more positive when I'm at Bird, because it gives me some kind of relief that something is more convinient.As a result, I am more likely to stay there longer.

U1: Surveys/Polls/Quizzes

https://psychcentral.com/quizzes/personality-quiz#7 To begin, for this assignment I chose an online survey from a website named PsychCentral. The purpose of this quiz was to analyze the type of personality you have based mainly off of your body language and some behaviors. They asked things like where your hands are located when your friends are talking to you, how your legs are seated when you're relaxed, and how you act at social gatherings. When I took this test, I was surprised to see that I got results that said I was the "Lively Center of Attention," which stated that I was constantly the center of attention, and an always lively, amusing and interesting person. Although I associate some of these character traits to myself, I think I am definitely more of a relaxed, laid back person in a social setting. Another thing that was really interesting to me was when I made my siblings take this test. My sister, who is more of a "center of attention" person, got...

Research Question: How does the transfer of writing from being handwritten to typed/using a digital pen affect students? Introduction : A vast majority of teachers utilize technology to a significant extent in the classroom, and many students believe that classwork would be nearly impossible without the integration of this technology. This trend has become increasingly prevalent in educational institutions across the US. As technology continues to advance, it’s become an integral part of students' daily lives, influencing the way they are taught, take notes, and study. One notable change is the shift of writing tools; how the educational system has stopped relying on handwriting, to more advanced options like digital pens and typing. While these new tools are very beneficial, it’s crucial to analyze the impacts of these technologies, in terms of effectiveness, mental health and efficiency.
