share everything
play fair
don't hit people
Put things back where you found them
clean up your own mess
wash your hands before you eat
flush
warm cookies and cold milk are good for you
live a balanced life-learn some and think some and
draw and paint andsing and dance and play and work every
day some
take a napevery afternoon
When you go outin the world,
watch out for traffic,hold hands andstick together
be aware of wonder. Remember the little seedin the Styrofoam cup;the roots go down and the plant goes up and
nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that
And then remember the dick and jane booksand the first word
you learned -the biggest word of all-

“At this age, they get stuck on Wikipedia being the answer to everything and they forget that people can be a really great resource.”
Research suggests over and over again that people are using mobile devices and social media to connect more with others, even face to face. The technologies of isolation and loneliness were the automobile and the television, and even though we’re starting to see a reversal of the long term rise in social isolation , there continues to be cultural insecurity around loneliness. Which is understandable, but misplacing our worries on one of the few trends that is pushing back against isolation isn’t helpful.

My goal, as a technology writer, would be to discover what the internet had done to me over the years.

Tell that to Chris Avenir
Tell that to Chris AvenirRyerson University sites 3 reasons for the case against him.
1.Learning should be hard.
2.There is no structure of regulation for online behavior and that makes it incompatible with academic work.
3.It is our job to protect academic integrity from any threat.
i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by certified persons, it’s not valid.

I’m appearing to accept an odious premise—namely, that joy must be justified as a means to the end of better academic performance. Not so:
It’s an end in itself.
