Oh boy. I have learned so much! One of the most interesting and important things though was from the video Did You Know which really opened my eyes about how fast technology is growing and changing. It is going to be a challenge to keep up. I also laughed and nodded when the students were talking about how when their parents can't figure technology out, they ask their kids for help. That is SO me!
I am concerned about cell phone use in my classroom. I know that technology can really enhance teaching in the classroom, but it needs to be at the right time and place. It will be very distracting to see kids texting or surfing the internet during my lessons and there would be no way to ensure that they are searching in response to my lesson.
How can I encourage scholarship through technology use, but maintain order and attention in the classroom? How do I set boundaries and limits on cell phone use without squelching enthusiasm for learning? These are questions I want to ask current teachers.
