iPods while typing
Did you find it difficult to concentrate on your typing skills while you were listening to your iPod? If so, tell me how you handled the situation. If you did not have difficulty concentrating, tell why you thinkg you were able to do both at the same time. Did your daily score reflect the answer you just gave. In other words, if you found it difficult to focus, did your score reflect that?

I Think is was easier to type with my ipod in, because I wasn't focusing on messing up. I typed a lot better too.

3rd Pd.
I don't have an iPod but I find that when I listen to music my performance goes down compared to when I am only concentrating on the work I am doing.
Cole Albertson pd. 3
I think it wasnt a problem typing listening to my ipod because it wasnt very loud. So then I just blanked it out when I did the build skill because I wanted to get a good grade to end the quarter.
Caitlin Murphy pd.3
I think it helped me type, because the music was fast so I typed faster, but I typed liss acurate too. My score wasn't very good though.
Alyssa Christianson Pd. 3
I think that it was easy to type when I was listening to my ipod. While I was doing the learn and improve it was on, but I hit pause when I was doing my build skill. I turned it back on during the game.
Drake Van Egdom Pd.3
I thought that it was easier to concentrate while listening to my i-pod. My scores were better than usual. I typed faster and more accurate while listening to my music.
Mateya Lunstra Prd.#3
I thought that is was harder to listen to my ipod and type beacuse I was sining while typing. It affected my grade by three points.
I think it was easier to type while my iPod was playing because you didn't hear everyones voices around you.
Jade Roozenboom 3rd hour
I think I was better at typing, because there was a beat to my music so my foot tapped and I have fast music so i typed faster with more accuracy!!!
Ryan Immeker PD3
I didnt bring a iPod but when i do listen to my iPod i think that is disracting because when i am listening i am more focused on my music then i am on the work that im doing.
Emma Larson Pd.3
I think it was much easier to type when i had my ipod. I got a perfect score when i was listening to it. I typed faster and more accurate while i was listening.
Thank you!
Sydney Reisch 3rd pd.
I think that I work way better with an ipod, because I keep the beat of the song playing while typing. I got a 100% on the lesson we did with ipods.
JR Bliss 3rd hour
I did not bring my mp3, But most of the time when I listen to music and try to read It makes it hard to understand the book. Because I cant multitask. Very well and it messes up the picture in my head so I cant comprehened the words or story well.

I would have been a little distracted by my music I think if I had brought it to class. I think I would have because of the songs that I listen to and also because of how easily i'm distracted by things that I like.
Logan Hoeke PD.3
I think that it was easier to type will listening to my ipod. I got done faster than I usualy do. Thank you very much for letting us listen to my ipod.
Thank you,
Logan Hoeke
Yes, I found it to be a bit more difficult typing while listening to music. I just had to go slower and take time. For me it's more distracting.
I think that listing to an ipod while typing is really fun. I didnt have any problem with it till I got to the build skill where I had to shut it off to concintrate more.Otherwise it was fine.

Having an ipod on while I did my assignment on the computer didn't bother me at all. I was able to concentrate more on the Build Skill than on the music. Listening to my ipod didn't make my grade better or worse, it just stayed the same. Thanks for letting us use them!
No, it was easier to concentrate with an ipod. I think it was easier to type with my ipod on. I actually did better while using my ipod. I keyed faster and more accurate than I have ever typed! Emma Froke, pd. 2
Drake Van Egdom Pd. 3
I think that it was easier to type while listening to my music. My speed and accuracy was better. I think if I would listen to music during class everyday it would improve my scores a lot.
I did better with my ipod then when I did'nt have it. I could constrate better. I had a better grade then I did when I did'nt have it.
Jordan.J Pd.3
I think when I listen to my music it is better when I read because it makes me concentrate on what I read. So I don't here screaming from my little sister so its peaceful. Also though when I try to do my homework it's harder for me to think so I don't listen when I do my homework.
Well Mrs. Gile, thanks for letting us use our mp3's, although I forgot mine at home. I think that My mp3 sort of helps me concentrate a little, probably because it relax's me a bit. Relaxing me helps me to do things a whole lot more then I normally would.
Alec Finch
I think it was easier to us an I Pod as i was typing because, it was giving me something else to think about and i just typed it naturally. So the words just like went down as i looked at the word and i didn't think about it so i keyed faster and better than before. Zach Hansen Pd 3
Briana Grage 3rd period.
I thought that it was not that bad for me to use the ipod and type at the same time. It was not that hard because i turned it down and took one of the earphones out of my ear so it would not bother me as much. Also so that if you said somthing that i could hear what you said. I did really good on that lesson too. I just wanted to say thank you for letting us use them because it made the period alot more fun!!
Robert Lee Boothe Pd. 4
I actually did do a little better, because I think that the music relaxed me enough to concentrate. So it was not hard for me to do this. I hope we can have another music day in 4th Quarter. :)
Mateya Murtha pd.#4
I did think that for me it was easier to listen to music while typing. I believe it helped because the beat of the music seemed help me to fasten my pace and I felt like I did much better. It took me one try and I had been very helpful, in my opinion.
Janae Paul
No, I didn't find it difficult to type with an ipod. Infact i found it easier, because the music kept my beat and i had WAY better speed and really good accuracy. I hope we can do this again because, it was fun and different!
Ben Jackson pd. 4
I thought that ipods while typing was great! When you are listening to a song with a good beat it will keep you on pace,but it sometimes messed me up with the words of a song(thinking of the words and not what your supposed to type).
Mateya Murtha
thank you by the way!
I thought it was in fact, very easy to type with my iPod in, helpful, accutelly. I did notice though, that I tended to pick songs with a very repeditave, quick rythem. I got 43 as my avrage GWAM, better than I have done all year.
Lily Swenson 4th period

4th hour
I think it was harder with my ipod on when I was doing my build skill. So all I did to do better was that I just had to turn my ipod down to where I could barely hear it. But when I was doing anything else,like the improve or the game,I did better with the ipod on.
Bailey Quanbeck
7th Period
Although it might have been harder for some, I thought that listening to music was fine. I don't think it helped me improve, but I didn't do any worse, either. As a reward, I think that it was a good idea.
Broolyn Smith
8th Period
I think it was easier to type with my ipod in, because I have done it before. So, I was used to doing it. Also,I typed my average.
Kailyn Smith
pd.#7
I think that listening to our ipod during typing was not a big deal, it did not help nor did it do anything to my grade.
Andrew Schwarz
Pd. 7
I think it was easier while listening to my ipod. It made it easier to focus on typing because you just turn it on and forget about it.
litcircles09Listing to my iPod when I was typing was a little hard. When I typed a difficult line or when I was doing the build skill, I would get the beat of the song in my mind not the wpm I was supposed to be typing, I would pause my iPod.
Brady Zell
Period 7
When you let us bring I-pods to class my score did not go down. The music helped me get motivated and kept me going. At first it was a little rough but then I got on track.
Annika Hindbjorgen
9th pd.
Listing to my iPod and typing was a little hard. When I was typing a hard line or doing build skill, I would get the beat of the song in my mind instead of the wpm I was supposed to be typing at, so I would pause my ipod.
KalebKauffman
Period 7
Wen I typed with my ipod it was easy for me to typ the words on the program so I din't mess up a word.
Carson Pruett
Pd 7
When I was listening to my i pod I found that it was harder to concentrate on what I was doing and caused my speed and accuracy to go down.
Kristin Smith
7pd.
I listend to my ipod during class and in the begining I had a hard time but after a wile I did not have a problem. I think it might have afected my score a little but not a lot. I really liked being able to work and listen to music.
Trace Smykle pd.6
I think having a ipod helped me concentrait.
Desiree Rohrbach
7th Pd.
I had no problem with typeing why'll listening to music. In fact I think I did better! When I type I always get shaky, I'm afraid I'll mess up. The day we listend to music it destracted me from thinking I'll mess up. My scores that day proved it, because my score improoved!
Alyssa Chheng
7th period
I was listening to my mp3 player during computer and I did better than I usually did and I got a better grade. The music relaxes me when I mess up on a letter.
