The Intersection of Technology and Test Scores - 1 views

  •  
    This is a very interesting article written by John Merrow (Education Correspondent, PBS Newshour). He says that technology could be "breaking barriers" in education, but that it isn't being used to it's fullest potential with the increasing focus on high-stakes testing. Teachers are afraid to take risks with technology to help engage students because test scores might fall by the wayside.

Making the Case for Mobile Tech Expansion - 1 views

    This article explores the use of mobile phones for education purposes. The author says that instead of banning the use of cell phones and smart phones in school, teachers should embrace this technology and teach students how to utilize mobile capabilities in constructive and educationally appropriate ways. This gives a fresh perspective on the outlook of cell phones in schools and would be a great article for a teacher who might be reluctant to let students use mobile devices in class.
