You are required to post to the Essential Skills blog at least THREE times during Quarter 2. There will be many video assignments on the blog from which you may choose.
If you have completed all of your
assignments AND you are happy with
your grades AND there is nothing you can do to make your grades better
at this point, then please visit the following links to learn more about
test anxiety and how to study. You may get up to get a set of
headphones.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS VIDEO ASSIGNMENT #3
1) Watch at least the first 40 minutes of the documentary
Distracted by Everything (Frontline, Digital Nation).
2) Respond to the following:
As a teacher and a parent, my hope is that young people can see the
value in focusing on a single task at a time. I truly believe that when
we are distracted with constant interruptions or are trying to do two
things at once - we are not truly capable of doing either task very
well.
Certainly, there are times when we can, or should, divert our attention
away from the task at hand. But, in able to truly learn and study
something new, we need to focus all of our attention on that new thing.
Think about and answer the following questions on the blog:
- What thing can you think of that you will need to (or want to) learn
in the future that will require your full attention to learn?
- How do you think this unit on multitasking will change your own study habits, if at all?
- How do you think the human brain is being affected by the near constant use of technology and the distractions this use creates?
Please use proper grammar in your comments.
