What Did Technology Add?
I agree with what the majority of people said about technology in the classroom. Whether we like it or not, technology is here and is being used in just about everything. As educators we have to incorporate technology into our curriculums to better educate students. If we don’t, we’ll be hurting our students because they won’t have the necessary skills they’ll need for their careers.
How Does Student Interest and Motivation Change?
Overall, students are more interested and motivated when technology is present.
How Do Classroom Dynamics Change?
As wonderful as technology might be, it’s not perfect so we need to be prepared for technology errors (have backup plans). Etiquette will also be a problem. We need to find ways to help keep students involved to reduce the temptation to surf the web during lectures, whether it’s asking questions or changing the layout of the computers in the room.
Overall, this seemed to be a lively discussion. Everyone thoroughly shared their thoughts and experiences, and I liked how people shared their own strategies with each other for combating bad computer behavior among students (and adult students).
