From Distraction to Engagement: Wireless Devices in the Classroom (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) ... - 0 views

  •  
    The "professor versus laptop (or other wireless access device)" issue is a false construct if we view technology-mediated learning as a social system offering many ways to alter one component and thus change the whole system. Rather than seeing distraction as a challenge, educators can see it as an opportunity to reflect upon and change the design of their entire instructional approach. Creative and innovative educators can use technology innovations to help reform teaching, similar to the way Guttenberg's press helped bring about scientific revolution and modern authorship.

In addition, teachers must make massive investments in time and effort to adapt their teaching materials and practices to make the 1-to-1 environment effective and relevant.”

College Professor Makes his Point Clear: No Laptops Allowed in Class - 1 views

  •  
    Yes - this is ridiculous, but it does point out how far we still need to go in terms of managing computer use in a wireless environment. It speaks more to the content of what is going on in class. How can kids get away with facebooking the whole class? What does it say about what is going on in class?
