In paragraph three the passage states, "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit." Then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System). Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness-and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles."

A classroom is possibly one of the most diverse places we can have in today's world. There are students with different ethnic backgrounds, different spoken languages, and different emotions. Regardless, all students gather to learn new material used to help them in the real world. However, certain material presents hardship with some students and ease with other. Being able to understand exactly how a student feels can make their learning significantly easier. Though some problems may occur, it can be invaluable to a student

Since most classrooms are not this dynamic, every student moves on to doing the same thing at the same time. This technology can change up the questions so that an advanced student may move on faster than one who is struggling. Perhaps one of the most important things people need to be aware of in the education system is the student's emotion. Like stated previously, emotions change. So if the computers sees a student with health issues such as depression, it can aid the student in getting help. Parents, teachers, and other school administration need to be aware of the student more than the cost of things. Even with the cost the computer's benefits are easily overshadowing it.

Summer projects have long been a popular way to ensure that students continue learning during their break. Ranging across subjects, summer assignments encompass everything from math packets to reading lists to art projects. These assignments can be either teacher- or student-designed -- two different styles of learning, but both with the goal of preparing for the upcoming year. Teacher-designed projects often focus on important information for the class and student-designed projects often focus on exploring their interests.

For example, every summer, the math department at my high school posts review packets for each class; these packets are made and edited by the teachers each year and include what they have found to be the most crucial topics for students to understand in order to succeed in their classes. The teachers' experience and expertise make the packets beneficial for students, as all of the information they have selected is considered to be vital. This allows students to be fully prepared for the course, because if they understand all of the background information in the packet, then they have all the tools they need to learn and understand new material later in the year. It also ensures that students do not forget any information they learned in the previous year, or, if they did forget it, that they relearn it. In contrast, if students tried to design their own summer packet, they may waste time reviewing unimportant topics and completely ignore more crucial ones, leaving them ill-prepared for the year ahead.

When teachers are able to create their own summer projects, they can show students the types of assignments that they will see in class, giving the students ample time to understand and adapt to the teacher's standards. They allow students to not only learn new information, but also new strategies and techniques that will help them succeed during the school year. For example, my friend who attends a neighboring high school had a summer assignment from her AP Language teacher, while I had none. She was able to learn all of the rhetorical techniques her teacher wanted her know, as well as how to approach that level of work, over the summer, leaving her well-prepared for the class when it started. I, however, faced a steep learning curve at the start of the year as I tried to figure out my AP Lang assignments while also trying to keep up with all my other schoolwork. Comparatively, my friend had a much eaiser time than I did because she already knew the neccessary skills, having learned it all over the summer. Therefore, teacher-designed summer projects allow students to see how their classes will operate during the school year and respond accordingly, giving them an easier, more prepared start to the year.

For example, AP Studio Art students at my high school are required to create a portfolio over the summer with a set number of pieces about the same idea, but they can use any medium they wish, allowing them to express their individual personality and ability. So, while they have to meet certain requirements, they are free to explore new mediums and techniques, as well as showcase their creativity and character. Additionally, teachers can use summer projects as a type of diagnostic, allowing them to assess a class's abilities. If teachers find that the class has a strong grasp on certain skills, then they may be more inclined to allow more student-driven projects during the year. This would allow students to pursue their own interests later in the year, even if they did not have that opportunity over the summer. Teacher-designed summer projects do allow students to learn about what interests them, as long as certain requirements are met.

In the end, teacher-designed summer projects best prepare students for the upcoming year by ensuring that students posses crucial background information and by allowing them to understand the class requirements and operation beforehand. Teachers hold the most experience, making them the best candidates to show students the tools needed to succeed in their class. Additionally, they have the ability to give students a glimpse of their class, allowing them to learn the necessary information as well as adapt to the teacher's standards and practices. These opportunites combine to ensure that students are well-prepared for the year ahead, as they have been able to learn what they need to over the summer. Students are then able to start the school year off right, possessing the knowledge and skills required to learn effectively.

That would be the only real problem with having it inside a class room. There could be a public room inside the school for the computer, so kids can go and see what they are feeling before class. That is an option for the school.

The only way i think it is a good idea to have that kind of tecnology inside school is if it has its own room inside the school. That way all the kids that want to use the computer can use it.
