Cynthia Rios on 16 Jun 14It is surprising that schools still have a "no electronics" policy which is the case of my school. Now like Sean and Cinthia added, electronics are in our schools whether they are allowed or not, and we should have our students use these electronics to enhance their learning. I've caught my students taking selfies and or sending Snapchats, but I wonder if we truly engage them and use technology to its fullest potential in our classrooms will students continue to abuse BYOD?

Tip #1: Kids Aren't as Tech Savvy as You Think
-
This very true, although many of our students seem to be Tech Savvy, their skills when it comes to technology are mainly for entertainment and social networking such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. I recently gave a digital literacy survey to a student partner for another course and her results were very low. This is the link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/21cTechPart2 How do you think your students would perform on this survey?
-
Cinthia, I think you are correct in adding that it depends on the population. Do you think that students' socioeconomic status has a correlation to their digital literacy?
