I don't think going out and buying a bunch of iPads without properly training teachers on how to have students use them is useful. There are certainly many possibilities with this type of technology but I fear the distraction they represent. There is so much content available through this type of technology, especially cell phones, that is entertaining and doesn't require any thought or energy. Learning, however, is a challenge and many students find this to be a less attractive option. I still have not seen a convincing argument or model for how to use this technology in a way that doesn't just provide students with a distraction. However, I am hopeful that opportunities to use this technology to teachers' benefit will come along, hopefully sooner rather than later!Collinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131983547483077668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720391094112489351.post-6574274086976988752012-11-15T21:44:17.302-08:002012-11-15T21:44:17.302-08:00Hi Callie!

This kind of experience is not something that we got until undergrad and even then, maybe some people didn't. I also thought that this program would be a very great way to get more people interesteed in teaching early on! Alexa Scheidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113445857534525365noreply@blogger.com
