2+Multitasking+vs+Student+Focus

Question???

//MAIN QUESTION:// __**HOW DOES MULTITASKING EFFECT STUDENT FOCUS?**__
If you give a test to one student that has to answer it without using the internet and another student that can use the internet, which person will get a better grade and who will finish faster? Steps: Person without internet use finished the test faster but only got 30%. Person using internet finished way later and got a 100%.
 * GROUP 1 What is the average grade for a child that is using electronic learning vs. a child using old school learning with paper and pencil?
 * You can see in this graph that with accommodations the average grade increases slightly faster.

 * 1) Get a test prepared.
 * 2) Take two people and make them take the test.
 * 3) One will use the internet and one won't.
 * 4) Compare results.
 * GROUP 2 Does the amount or type of work affect the learning focus?


 * GROUP 2 Does this electronic learning help improve or lower the grade of students using previously pencil and paper learning? According to scientific studies that have followed children from years of 2005-2009 that has used electronic learning have improved there grade by 12-14 percent.
 * 1 we are going to ask three people from 7-4 read a paragraph.
 * 2 the first time we will let them listen to music.
 * 3 then a new kid will read it without any music on.
 * 4 we will ask them to write down how much they remember from the paragraphs.

We learned that the kids who were listening to music had an average of 1 thing that they remembered from the paragraphs. The kids who were not listening to music got about three or four things that they remembered. This shows us that student focus does go down when multitasking (listening to music) and I suggest to Mrs. Adams that listening to music would not help students learn or focus.


 * GROUP 3 What would work the best for multitasking student focus? ipad, laptop, net book, or tablet?
 * We are testing 8 kids, 2 from each team, 1 boy, 1 girl, not including 7-3 itself.
 * Telling them to write a already written paragraph and write it down again. and include a picture from the internet about the paragraph.
 * The kids are being timed using the ipad,net book, pc laptop, and tablet.
 * This will help multitasking and student focus how students will do the tasks faster, while multitasking. This will tell which technology will help students work the fastest while multitasking and how the device affects student focus.
