Technology+and+Homework

In 7th grade, almost everything you do in Humanities will need to be done using the internet or computer. There will be a lot of online homework and technology use. You will create your own blog. Every week for about a quarter, you need to write a blog post about a news story, and some of the writing assignments that you will do, too. Even the homework assignments can be found online (This means that you don't have to write it in your agenda), but this is only for certain teachers.

**Since** you will be doing a lot of homework on the computer, you will probably be tempted by the many distractions on the computer and internet. MSN, Facebook, MySpace, email, etc...

**So**, I advise you to scold and punish and tear yourself away from your addiction when you start playing for too long, especially if it's already quite late and if you take a long time to do your homework. I always do that, and most times it works. Sometimes it takes me multiple times to finally get me to continue with my work. Of course, you might think my method is weird, and I bet you won't use it. But maybe you do know what I'm talking about, if you talk to yourself often. You can try it if you want, because there are probably other methods that are much more and common and effective.
