This week i read an article from the website www.ascd.com From my foundations of education class a while back my professor made us subscribe to at least one online site to stay in "educational touch". It was the best advice i had gotten because i get top educational news stories straight to my laptop almost everyday.
The article i read today was named "Student Engagement On The Go". This article talks about how to make sure technology, once implemented in the curriculum, stays on task to enhance student learning. It talks about the use if i-pods and i-pads in the classroom to work on projects and group work. This article is very pro-technology use in the classroom. It even stated an example of referral rates before and after the introduction of technology and the difference was drastic. Students will be more involved and stay interested if engaged with technology.
I love that i get all different types of articles to my inbox daily so i can stay current on any educational hot topics out there. What i would like to read more about is more research about the quality of work turned in by technology and how it keeps children focused on task at hand.
