DIGITAL ACTION

Keeping Stats for the Future 22 Recruitment Made Easy 23

Technology has become the foundation of our world, an integral part of our lives. What would life be like without technology? In particular, technology’s impact is shaping our generation in ways never imagined. From face-to-face communication becoming obsolete to setting up future sports careers, it touches each person in a different way. There are dark sides, too, and we have to fight to eradicate those. But in the end, technology has become the building blocks of our lives.

STAY AWAY FROM SITES LIKE THIS ONE: @GGCastleRock was an anonymous Twitter page about students at Castle View High School in which rumors about students’ personal lives were posted in January and February. The site is similar to Yik Yak and Ask.fm, two anonymous social media sites that are a common place for bullying. “Cyberbullying is more common on sites in which users can post anonymously because they can say anything without being caught or known,â€? School Resource Officer Todd West said. Students shared their concerns with West about the tweets on @GGCastleRock. Soon after, the account was taken down. His advice: “Don’t even get on these websites.â€?

MODERN LEARNING

How technology expands, hinders and shapes our learning

FOR MANY TEACHERS,

TECHNOLOGY IS INTEGRAL TO LEARNING

A 2013 Pew Research Center survey of 2,462 middle and high school teachers gives the following results:

92

percent say the Internet has a “major impact” on their ability to access content, resources and materials for teaching

73

percent say that they and/ or their students use mobile phones in the classroom or to complete assignments

57

percent say it has had an impact on enabling their interaction with students

Science teacher Jessica Davis sends two students to get a computer cart. Math teacher Marina Barrett powers up her Pro-­ methean board. And humanities teacher Amanda Malson asks students to use their VPDUW SKRQHV WR GH¿QH XQNQRZQ ZRUGV “Technology is an important part of learn-­ ing,” said Mosaic and Spanish teacher Kelly Hass, another avid technology user LQ WKH FODVVURRP ³,W DOORZV VWXGHQWV WR ¿QG their own answers instead of just asking a teacher.” In recent years, learning has moved from reading out of a textbook to googling his-­ toric events, from butcher paper presenta-­ tions to PowerPoints, from Merriam-­Web-­ ster to Dictionary.com. The abundance of technology at Castle View has led to teachers and students alike using it more and more in the class-­ room. Castle View has four Mac carts and four Chrome carts with 15 computers in each cart. The school also has a Chrome

cart with 20 computers, an iPad cart with 31 tablets and an additional 50 Chrome laptops in the mobiles. That makes for 221 computers for classroom use alone, not including the 13 computer labs throughout the school. CV also has 19 Promethean boards, an interactive whiteboard that helps teach-­ ers to plan and teach — 22 percent of classrooms are equipped with the new technology. In an informal survey conducted by The View, all 25 surveyed teachers reported using some type of technology in their classes on a daily basis. “It (technology) makes everything much easier, from planning the class to teach-­ ing the students,” Spanish teacher Robin Handy said. The increase in technology in the class-­ room has changed the way some educa-­ tors teach their class. Hass, for instance, uses Remind, an application that allows teachers to

communicate with their class through texting, without ever knowing their phone numbers. “It’s a very convenient way to communicate,” she said. But the new technology is not without some drawbacks. “There is nothing wrong with technolo-­ gy by itself — the problem comes when students become too attached,” Hass said. “But it’s good that students learn how to manage their technology use now as kids, instead of as adults.” And business teacher Chad Bryan noted WKDW ³LW¶V GLI¿FXOW WR NHHS NLGV DWWHQWLRQ when you have to compete with the vast-­ ness of the Internet.” However, because classes are becom-­ ing more and more reliant on technology, when it doesn’t work it greatly hinders the productivity of a class. “There is nothing more frustrating than when the computers, or the projectors, or the Internet doesn’t work,” Handy said. “It’s enough to ruin your day.”

DOES TECHNOLOGY HINDER LEARNING? JACKSON  PETRAUSKAS Senior  Daniel  Trost  sits  in  class,  listening  to  music  through  a  small  black  earbud  connected  to  his  phone  sitting  on  his  desk.  Junior  Michael  Marx  is  also  using  his  phone,  but  to  research  the  project  he  is  working  on. Society  often  focuses  on  the  impact  technology  has  on  the  world  and  businesses.  But,  as  Trost  and  Marx  demonstrate,  one  of  its  greatest  impacts  is  on  students’  education. “People  need  to  see  both  sides  of  technology,â€?  Marx  said.  â€œSure,  it  is  fun  to  play  on,  but  it  goes  beyond  that  and  helps  people  like  us  in  school.â€?  But  data  collected  from  the  Pew  Research  Center  says  teachers  DUH ÂżQGLQJ LW PRUH GLIÂżFXOW WR NHHS VWXGHQWV HQJDJHG ,W DOVR IRXQG teachers  believe  students’  lack  of  interest  goes  deeper  than  ever.  Nearly  90  percent  of  teachers  interviewed  believe  digital  technolo-­ gies  are  creating  â€œan  easily  distracted  generation  with  short  atten-­ tion  spans.â€? Teachers  also  described  what  might  be  called  a  â€œWikipedia  problem,â€?  which  is  where  students  have  grown  used  to  getting  fast  answers  with  a  quick  Google  search  and  are  more  likely  to  give  XS ZKHQ WKH\ FDQÂśW ÂżQG WKH HDV\ DQVZHU 7KH 3HZ VWXG\ IRXQG percent  of  teachers  believed  students  had  been  conditioned  by  the  ,QWHUQHW WR ÂżQG TXLFN DQVZHUV A  Pew  study  also  found  children  and  teenagers  ages  8  to  18   spend  on  average  twice  as  much  time  with  screens  each  year  as  they  spend  in  school.  Students’  use  of  devices  in  class  are  hurting  their  own  work  ethic,  the  study  said,  but  they  also  are  hurting  the  environment  for  people  around  them. Marx  agreed  technology  can  often  affect  focus.  â€œTechnology  is  helpful  to  a  point,  then  it  can  just  get  distracting,â€?  he  said,  referring  to  how  frequently  students  use  phones  in  class.  â€œPeople  always  are  texting  me  and  it  distracts  me.â€?

WHAT  YOU  POST  AFFECTS  YOUR  FUTURE   JETT  GOLDSMITH For  senior  Jake  Henderson,  social  media  has  played  a  huge  part  in  his  college  applications. “I  don’t  use  Facebook  or  Twitter  much,  but  whenever  I  did,  I  used  it  to  talk  with  friends,â€?  said  Henderson.  â€œRight  at  the  beginning  of  senior  year,  I  was  reading  online  about  what  colleges  look  for  in  an  applicant,  and  a  lot  of  sites  said  they  check  social  media  now.  Ever  since  then,  I’ve  been  more  careful  with  what  I  post.â€? According  to  Kaplan  Test  Prep’s  2010  VXUYH\ RI FROOHJH DGPLVVLRQV RIÂżFHUV across  the  country,  social  media  moni-­ toring  by  colleges  is  rising  dramatically.  Prospective  students  are  constantly  having  their  online  identity  tapped  by  universities,  with  82  percent  of  admissions  RIÂżFHUV VD\LQJ WKHLU VFKRRO XVHV )DFHERRN to  recruit  prospective  students,  and  56  percent  saying  their  school  uses  Twitter  or  YouTube  for  recruitment. This  rise  in  monitoring  has  changed  the  dynamic  of  social  media.  Before,  sites  such  as  Twitter,  Facebook  and  YouTube  were  relatively  inconsequential  places  to  communicate  freely.  Vulgar  language  and  crude  behavior  -­â€”  things  people  would  never  dream  of  saying  or  doing  in  real  life  â€”  was  almost  always  encountered.  But  those  types  of  posts  can  have  real-­life Â

repercussions. Colleges  overwhelmingly  look  at  Face-­ book,  but  more  and  more  are  starting  to  monitor  Twitter  and  even  Instagram  for  ap-­ plicants,  according  to  a  2014  article  from  The  New  York  Times.  At  Colorado  State  University,  University  of  Colorado  Boulder  and  Metropolitan  State  University  of  Den-­ YHU DGPLVVLRQV RIÂżFHUV WROG The  View  they  monitor  students’  social  media  accounts  at  least  initially  to  determine  whether  they’re  D JRRG ÂżW Still,  some  colleges,  such  as  University  of  Northern  Colorado  in  Greeley,  prefer  a  more  traditional  method  of  admission  decisions. “To  my  knowledge,  UNC  has  not  denied  admission  to  a  student  based  on  con-­ tent  found  on  social  media  accounts,â€? Â

said  Sean  Broghammer,  UNC’s  director  of  admissions.  â€œWe  do  not  go  out  and  search  social  media  to  learn  more  about  a  VWXGHQW 2XU SKLORVRSK\ LV WR ÂżQG UHDVRQV to  admit.â€? Broghammer  said  UNC  focuses  predom-­ inantly  on  grades,  test  scores  and  GPA  when  deciding  whether  to  admit  or  deny  a  student.  Their  applications  are  holistic,  meaning  they  take  into  account  every  area  of  a  student’s  career  in  making  decisions.  They  prefer  not  to  look  at  social  media  for  that  purpose. According  to  the  Kaplan  Test  Prep  survey,  80  percent  of  prospective  students  KDYH VHQW DGPLVVLRQV RIÂżFHUV D IULHQG request  on  Facebook  or  MySpace.  But  col-­ OHJH DGPLVVLRQV RIÂżFHUV IURP 81& &68 and  CU-­Boulder  said  they  typically  deny  these  requests  to  remain  impartial  and  judge  students  based  on  academic  merits  over  personal  lives.  But  that  doesn’t  stop  students  from  send-­ ing  requests.  â€œMost  universities  do  check  social  media  for  references  of  their  own  institution,â€?  said  Castle  View  Post-­Grad  Secretary  Sabrina  Gentry.  So  â€œthink  before  you  post.  What-­ ever  is  posted  is  out  there  for  the  world  to  see  forever.â€?

STAY AWAY FROM SITES LIKE THIS ONE: @GGCastleRock was an anonymous Twitter page about students at Castle View High School in which rumors about students’ personal lives were posted in January and February. The site is similar to Yik Yak and Ask.fm, two anonymous social media sites that are a common place for bullying. “Cyberbullying is more common on sites in which users can post anonymously because they can say anything without being caught or known,â€? School Resource Officer Todd West said. Students shared their concerns with West about the tweets on @GGCastleRock. Soon after, the account was taken down. His advice: “Don’t even get on these websites.â€? him  and  he  got  through  it.â€? 2IÂżFHU 7RGG :HVW WKH VFKRRO UHVRXUFH RIÂżFHU DW &DVWOH 9LHZ deals  with  multiple  cyberbullying  incidents  every  year.  This  year,  he  has  handled  more  than  10  incidents.  The  majority  of  them  included  rumors  or  relationship  issues  between  girls.  â€œMost  of  the  incidents  on  these  sites  can  be  resolved,â€?  West  said.  â€œIf  you  wouldn’t  say  it  to  their  face,  don’t  do  it  through  your  devices.â€?  The  freshman  does  her  best  to  ignore  the  nasty  comments  that  have  become  commonplace  in  her  life.  But  sometimes,  it’s  GLIÂżFXOW QRW WR OHW WKHP KXUW “It  never  gets  any  easier,â€?  she  said.  â€œIt  still  makes  me  really  sad.â€?

JANE  BOYD  A  freshman  at  Castle  View  scrolls  through  several  social  media  sites  reading  the  vulgar  and  insensitive  comments  aimed  at  her.  Instagram:  â€œYou  sound  f***ing  stupid,  you  freaking  c*nt.â€?  Snapchat:  â€œFakeâ€?  and  has  â€œNo  friends.â€? “It  made  me  feel  like  no  one  liked  me,â€?  she  said.

Ask.fm:  â€œ(She)  did  it  â€”  why  can’t  you?â€?  And  â€œWhen  are  you  killing  yourself?â€? “It’s  anonymous,  so  I  couldn’t  do  anything  about  it  -­-­  otherwise,  I  would’ve  reported  them,â€?  said  the  14-­year-­old,  who  asked  her  name  not  be  used  to  protect  her  privacy.  â€œIt  sucks  because  you  can’t  see  who  it  is.  So  it  could  be  one  of  your  â€˜friends.’  And  it  probably  is.â€?

Cyberbullying  often  follows  the  students  from  their  social  media  sites  into  their  life  at  school.  â€œAnd  it  hurts  not  only  emotionally,  but  also  academically,â€?  said  Dean  of  Students  Ryan  Hollingshead. “Students  can’t  be  focused  on  what  is  being  taught  if  all  they  can  think  about  is  what  is  going  to  be  posted  on  Twitter,â€?  Holling-­ shead  said.  â€œStudents  have  the  right  to  go  to  school  without  being  threatened  or  bullied.â€?  Sophomore  Blake  Curry  said  a  close  friend  was  cyberbullied    in  middle  school.  Curry  read  comments  about  his  friend  like  â€œYou’re  Uglyâ€?  and  â€œNo  one  likes  you.â€?  â€œ.  .  .  it  affected  him  for  a  long  time,â€?  said  Curry.  â€œBut  I  supported Â

Did  you  know  women,  on  average,  earn  almost  one    third  less  than  men  in  the  same  job? Did  you  know  one  in  three  women  will  be  sexually  abused  in  their  MEGAN  KEMPER OLIHWLPHV ² DQG DFFXVHG because  of  what  they  were  wearing? Did  you  know  one  of  the  worst  insults  you  can  give  a  person  is  to  compare  him  or  her  to  a  girl? Studies  by  Women  Organized  Against  Rape,  American  Press,  Kaiser  Family  Foundation  and  so  many  other  organizations  support  these  state-­ ments.  And  these  studies  transformed  my  view  of  feminism  completely.  Once,  I  believed  feminism  was  for  power-­seek-­ ing,  man-­hating,  chivalry-­killing  women.  But  the  more  I  learned  about  the  inequity  between  men  and  women  and  the  lack  of  respect  for  women,  the  more  I  realized  how  desperately  I  wanted  this  movement  to  succeed. Feminism:  the  advocacy  of  women’s  rights  on  the  grounds  of  political,  social  and  economic  equality  to  men.  The  key  word  is  equality.  I  dont  want  to  be  superior;Íž  I  just  want  to  be  an  equal.  And  I  want  to  be  a  woman,  no  strings  or  labels  attached.  We  have  come  a  long  way  since  1920  when  women  won  the  right  to  vote,  but  the  work  for  JHQGHU HTXDOLW\ LV QRW ÂżQLVKHG Women  still  earn  less  than  men  despite  the  Equal  Pay  Act  of  1963,  which  states  no  work-­ place  may  pay  a  person  more  or  less  on  the  basis  of  gender.  Yet  women  on  average  receive  77  percent  of  what  men  get  paid  for  the  same  job.  That  means  that  over  a  woman’s  lifespan  she  will  earn  $431,000  less  than  a  man.  One  in  four  women  will  be  sexually  assaulted  before  her  18th  birthday.  Sometimes,  rape  and  sexual  assault  victims  are  blamed  for  the  crime  because  it’s  easier  to  ask  â€œWhat  was  she  wear-­ ing?â€?  â€œWhy  was  she  in  that  situation?â€?  or  â€œWas  she  acting  provocatively?â€?  The  reality  is  no  girl  ever  asks  to  get  raped  or  sexually  assaulted.  And  since  when  did  â€œlike  a  girlâ€?  become  a  demeaning  insult?   When  we  were  young,  we  believed  being  a  girl  was  pretty  much  the  best.  But  as  we  grow  older,  PXFK RI VRFLHW\ WHDFKHV XV JLUOV DUH LQVLJQLÂżFDQW and  should  â€œjust  stand  there  and  look  pretty.â€?  I  can’t  count  how  many  times  I’ve  been  told  to  do  exactly  that. The  time  is  long  overdue  for  women  to  treated  with  respect  in  every  part  of  their  lives. I’m  a  feminist  because  I’m  tired  of  being  told  my  waistline  is  more  important  than  my  brain  and  abilities.  Because  my  work  is  just  as  valuable  as  that  of  the  man  sitting  next  to  me.   Because  being  compared  to  a  woman  should  be  a  compliment.

DON’T DUMB US DOWN English  Professor  Mark  Bauerlein  published  this  award-­winning  book  in  2008:  â€œThe  Dumbest  Genera-­ tion:  How  the  Dig-­ SYDNEY  DEAN LWDO $JH 6WXSHÂżHV young  Americans  and  Jeopardizes  Our  Future  (Or,  Don’t  Trust  Anyone  Under  30).â€?

the  speaker  of  the  U.S.  House  of  Repre-­ sentatives.  What  Mr.  Bauerlein  doesn’t  consider  is  we  don’t  need  to  memorize  who  the  speaker  of  the  House  is  because  we  FDQ ORRN LW XS LQ OHVV WKDQ ÂżYH VHFRQGV This  generation  has  developed  far  more  useful  skills  than  being  able  to  memorize  names  of  politicians.  We’re  creators  who  are  constantly  evolving  and  innovating.  We’re  a  part  of  the  technology  revolution,  which  means  we’re  always  adapting  and  learning.  We  are,  in  fact,  very  smart,  but  in  a  far  more  useful  way  than  what  previous  genera-­ tions  seem  to  consider  intelligent.  We  know  what’s  happening  on  the  other  side  of  the  world  the  instant  it  happens.  Because  of  this,  we’ve  become  extremely  in  touch  with  the  present.  We’re  aware  of  social  problems  WKDW QHHG WR EH Âż[HG DQG ZLOO QR ORQJHU stand  for  tradition  getting  in  the  way  of  basic  human  rights.  ,I \RX ÂżQG LW QHFHVVDU\ WR PHDVXUH our  intelligence  by  the  amount  of  trivia  we  can  spit  out,  then  that’s  the  way  of  thinking  we  will  strive  to  change.

PAPER BEATS ONLINE, ANY TIME A  new  trend  in  electronics  is  online  reading.  And  al-­ though  many  users  of  that  tool  consider  it  hip  or  cool,  online  reading  should  not  replace  paper  JANE  BOYD books  on  shelves.  Consider  that  with  a  book,  you  don’t  need  a  charger  in  the  middle  of  a  page  as  a  battery  indicates  it’s  about  to  die.  You  don’t  have  to  worry  about  the  sun’s  glare  on  a  screen.  Or  about  whether  the  water  on  a  page  will  short  the  device. There’s  no  doubt  online  reading  has  soared. In  2011,  the  Kindle  Fire  was  released  to  the  public.   By  2012,  21  percent  of  Americans  had  used  an  e-­reader.  A  2014  survey  found  57  percent  of  people  read  on  an  e-­reader.  The  majority  also  owned  a  tablet  or  an  e-­reader.  But  when  this  jump  of  online  reading  happened,  multiple  studies  also  began.  And  some  studies  found  those  who  read  on  an  electronic  device  have  a  harder  time  remembering  the  order  of  events.  In  the  article,  â€œScience  Has  Great  News  for  People  Who  Read  Actual Â

CHANGING THE GAME MARK Â DOWSEY

Senior  Austin  Hazlehurst  was  thinking  ahead  when  he  approached  Castle  View’s  basketball  coach  about  keeping  statistics  this  year. “I  knew  the  coach  at  CSU  would  give  me  a  chance  to  do  this  if  I  had  some  experi-­ ence,â€?  Hazlehurst  said,  â€œso  (Coach  Patrick)  Simpson  let  me  be  the  manager  this  year  to  get  above  everyone  in  the  competition.â€? In  an  unusual  twist,  Hazlehurst,  the  boys’  varsity  basketball  team’s  student  manager,  also  had  a  spot  on  the  team  and  so  he  practiced  every  day  with  the  team.  But  for  most  of  the  season,  he  dressed  up  like  the  coaches  and  entered  statistics  in  an  L3DG RU ZDWFKHG ÂżOPV WR SDLQW D SLFWXUH RI strengths  and  weaknesses.  He  analyzed  the  data  he  collected  to  help  coaches  make  better  decisions  during  games. Hazlehurst  knew  coaches  depended  on  him  just  like  they  depended  on  players  to  show  up  to  practice  or  a  game  on  Tuesday  and  Friday  nights.   â€œCoach  depended  on  me  to  do  all  the  stat  work  and  use  it  everyday,â€?  said  Hazlehurst,   who  hasn’t  decided  on  college  yet,  but  is  considering  Colorado  State  University.  â€œThe  support  from  everyone  in  the  program  was  great.â€? For  Simpson,  Hazlehurst’s  contribution Â

was  huge.  â€œFor  example,â€?  Simpson  said,  â€œif  senior  point  guard  Jontrell  Herman  shoots  bad  in  the  second  quarter,  Austin  keeps  track  of  that  stuff  and  we  know  as  coaches  when  to  give  Jontrell  his  rest.â€? Technology  has  drastically  changed  high  school  sports.  Not  only  can  you  follow  games  on  Twitter,  you  also  can  immedi-­ ately  look  up  stats  on  MaxPreps  or  watch  games  on  Hudl.  The  technology  not  only  helps  teams  be  successful,  it  helps  coaches  prepare  better  and  smarter  for  opponents.  And  it  hasn’t  only  changed  the  game  on  the  court.  It  has  FKDQJHG WKH JDPH RQ WKH ÂżHOG DV ZHOO A  program  used  by  high  school  football  coaches  is  Hudl,  a  site  on  which  highlights  â€”  or  the  entire  game  â€”  are  posted,  which  also  gives  teams  the  opportunity  to  scout  opponents  easily. “We  don’t  use  it  a  lot,  but  we  can  record  ¿OP GXULQJ WKH JDPH DQG ZDWFK ZKDW RXU players  need  to  get  better  at,â€?  coach  Ryan  Hollingshead  said.  â€œThere  were  some  times  our  defense  knew  what  the  offensive  players  were  going  to  do  and  it  obviously  helped  us  a  lot.â€? As  manager,  Hazlehurst  organized  and  distributed  uniforms  and  equipment, Â

kept  the  clock  and  the  stats.  But  he  also  ZDWFKHG ÂżOPV RI WKH JDPHV DQG DFFX-­ mulated  stats  from  them  to  ensure  100  percent  accuracy.  He  then  broke  them  down  by  quarter,  which  allowed  coachees  to  see  trends. For  instance,  stats  showed  a  drop  in  free  throw  accuracy  in  the  third  quarter.  So  Simpson  made  sure  players  practiced  free  throws  at  halftime. “I  haven’t  had  a  chance  yet  to  see  if  that  made  a  difference,â€?  he  said. Hazlehurst  also  kept  live  stats  for  the  junior  varsity  team  on  an  iPad,  so  coaches  would  have  data  to  talk  to  players  about  at  halftime.  The  iPad  calculates  as  you  go,  provides  a  shot  chart  and  keeps  track  of  opponents’  stats,  too. Âł,WÂśV KDUG WR OHDUQ DW ÂżUVW EHFDXVH WKH game  is  so  fast,â€?  Simpson  said. Overall,  Hazlehurst’s  work  allowed  Simp-­ son  to  focus  more  on  practice  plans,  scout-­ ing  opponents  and  preparing  for  games. Hazlehurst,  for  his  part,  learned  more  about  the  different  aspects  and  strategies  of  the  game. And  he  was  able  to  play  some,  too. Âł*HWWLQJ WR SOD\ WKH ODVW ÂżYH JDPHV ZDV amazing  and  completely  unexpected,â€?  Ha-­ zlehurst  said.  â€œIt  meant  a  lot  to  me  .  .  .â€?

In  the  past,  high  school  kids  were  playing  their  hearts  out,  hop-­ ing  to  get  recognized  by  college  coaches,  and  striving  to  get  the  last  spot  on  a  Division  1  team.  But  with  all  the  new  technology  and  advancements,  athletes’  college  sports  careers  don’t  depend  on  one  tryout.  Today,  ath-­ letes  have  better  chances  to  play  for  the  college  of  their  dreams.
