which is kindof Ironic, because I WAS the one packing the laptop back then. The fact is, students are more likeley to be inhibited by technology and social media, notwithstanding access to unapprovable media ( you know what I'm talking about) and the fact that this requires additional research by teachers, less classroom control, miscreant behavior, online bullying -- we have enough of these problems, as it concerns students already, without bringing them into the classroom outright
Also, I find that most of my peers can't actually read a map that doesn't have their course outlined on it, and can't find an address without Google. I'd hate to see this spread into their understanding of literature, science, mathematics, humanities or anything else.
Honestly, I think that computers limit the ability to teach, learn, more than they augment those things. Easy education has never stuck me as effective education. I'm 26, by-the-way.
