Dave Eveland replied to Anna Fales's discussion Tablets in the Classroom"As someone who has been around education for a few years, I can empathize with Anna, but also see the potential of the technology - as well as the potential for the teachers involved. Just as with anything you might look to incorporate into a…"
Anna Fales replied to Rebekah Donaldson's discussion Will technology take precedence over paper, pens, and writing? Should it?"I can see the3 trend happening as well. Technology is slowly pushing out handwriting and book usage. I was a Teacher's Aid in a Kindergarten class my senior year of high school. They were taught how to recognize letters, the phonics of the…"
Anna Fales replied to Ashley Rawls's discussion Are we pushing technology too much?"I can agree with you that technology is important in the classroom. It can benefit learners that are not "traditional". However, I can also agree with you that we might be pushing technology too far. I believe that the "old…"
Anna Fales replied to Jessica Scott's discussion Student-Use of Technology in the Classroom"There are so many schools that use this standard way of educating students. It is very unfortunate, especially when there are students that learn better by tactile or other forms of learning. While most students will end up learning the material,…"

Shelly S Edmunson replied to Anna Fales's discussion Tablets in the Classroom"I find your sarcastic wit very entertaining. You do drive home a lot of good points!!"

Tim Barlow replied to Anna Fales's discussion Tablets in the Classroom"Yeah - at my school all the kids have pencils and paper and it is appalling!
They spend the entire time writing notes to each other in class, drawing little pictures on the top of their work, making paper airplanes and some even draw on their desk…"
Jessica Scott replied to Anna Fales's discussion Tablets in the Classroom"I agree completely. I think the Tablets could be too much of a distraction in the classroom to be worth using for educational purposes. The money could be better invested in another form of technology. "
Alan Stange replied to Anna Fales's discussion Tablets in the Classroom"I don't have 1-1 in my classroom, but my fourth graders are welcome to bring their own devices. At this point only a few are binging iPods. There may be some game play, but there has been a lot of activity focused on our learning.
What should…"
Faiz replied to Anna Fales's discussion Tablets in the Classroom"yep... you r true.... in classroom of school it is not feasible to give permission to use the tablets. Because it will distract children from study.

rodo montes replied to Anna Fales's discussion Tablets in the Classroom"I agree with you and also disagree. As far as high school goes I think if there was an assigned time they used them and for certain assignments then they can be extremely useful and do things that wouldn't be possible any other way. But having…"
