*Let's Discuss: Technology in the Classroom



This week our discussion is about using technology in the classroom. Teachers are increasingly using computers, smart-boards, and even tablets as part of classroom instruction. I am looking for your take on how this type of technology can be used to enhance your learning experience. There is a debate as to whether or not cell phones can be used in the classroom or if they should be banned completely. I want your opinions on issues like this.

Questions to think about:
  • How does watching a YouTube video or movie clip affect your learning process? Does it help you with learning and understanding new concepts?
  • Do you think it's possible to use your cell phone in class without getting distracted by text messages and other apps?
  • Should every student be able to use a tablet or laptop in the classroom? If yes, what do you think they should use it for?
  • What is your favorite app that is education related?  
  • What should the limits be on cell phone use in the during school hours? 
  • How would you like to use technology in the classroom?

Sound off in the comments!
