I believe that's the reason why they can easily adapt the digital age of this generation. But sometimes I am wondering if they can feel that, doing a lot of things in school and bringing home assignments does make them feel so tired.... because they can still afford to sit and play with their laptop or personal computers.

And it is only helpful at school if it is embraced by the teachers, otherwise it can be a distraction. The way to go in the future is probably encouraging more independent work and that teachers beome facilitators. There is also the issue of respect - if every child was given a laptop in the UK, would they respect it?

Educators can never stop learning just as their students should never stop learning. There is no opposition to students feeling trapped in traditional school being taught with traditional pedagogy to meet traditional curriculum and state standards. Of course good teachers want to have professional development to stay current in teaching and technology strategies. I agree that students can feel unengaged and isolated, but so can teachers. Technology is and will always be a part of our students’ lives, whether in reaching for a higher education or in the workplace, as an innovative tool. I have heard that ‘technology’ changes every three days. Our students deserve the very best from us, so we need to be able to change, also. It isn’t an easy process, and it definitely isn’t cheap. I read the notes on the Gray Small key note speech. He has some up-to-the-minute ideas about technology and brain activity. However, his description of digital natives has caused some controversy among higher education teachers. Labeling someone a digital tourist or digital immigrant is unfair and demeaning. Just because students have grown up with items such as wii, xbox, and Smartphones that doesn’t necessarily meant they are going to good at using technology in a positive way or that they will be good students in academic subjects. I hadn’t heard about the study referenced saying playing video games removes the ability to recognize facial expression. I disagree that very young children shouldn’t have access to technology, but just like junk food, it should be monitored by caring parents and used in moderation. That would be like removing a pencil or crayons when they were inventor. He didn’t use citations for his data on age discrimination on using current technologies. I agree that active brains learn faster and deeply. It is evident that the brain needs exercise just as the rest of the body does. I didn’t understand how the author knew that all of the brain was used while searching online. It was amazing to learn that surgeons who played video games make fewer errors than those who do not. But what was the source for this information? I have heard about brain interface technology, but there are many effects on society and body ownership issues that will need to be addressed. We live in an interesting and fast paced world where technology used for the space program is being equaled in innovative classroom activities.Jane Harper-Reneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495287184880450538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594013070158399415.post-44835162532752914772011-03-09T09:15:56.319-06:002011-03-09T09:15:56.319-06:00Here are some examples of students using iPod Touc...Here are some examples of students using iPod Touches in the classroom.
