@JaimeChase17 My struggle with this is knowing how far to go to figure out the reason. Is there a line? Teachers may be the last person in their lives that truly care.

"To motivate students to follow the aforementioned policies, you might reward them with stars, extra points, and other academic privileges" - Albert. Do these types of things work still when it comes to limiting students technology? Is it worth it to them? #DC508

How can we encourage students to embrace technology, but in a more responsible way? Taking away smartphones leads to sneaking around. Can we get students to buy in to not always utilizing technology? #DC508

@MiedemaTeacher It's going to have to satisfy. I think with the massive growth of tech it will lead to more mergers between major companies. The cost to survive will become too great and working together will be the only way for these services to survive!

"Powerful learning models can be designed without technology because knowledge is the ultimate technology." -Heick. While the writing is a bit cliche, I do agree. Students think computers know all, but it's important they understand that their knowledge is power. #DC508

"Designers and producers of technology design produce in isolation from their applied use, which makes audience and propose considerations- prime matters of design- impossible" -Terry Heick. Does the development process create issues with educational technology? #DC508

@HannahSmolders I think this is the general consensus of most people.. Are teachers starting to hope that technology can teach some of these skills? It takes a major amount of effort to get students to unplug and learn these skills.

"As we come to rely on computers to mediate our understanding of the world, it is our own intelligence that flattens into artificial intelligence" - Carr. How can we train students to think for themselves and not rely on technology? Is it possible? #ED508

[Danny Mooers @DannyMooers]

"My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles" -Carr. I believe most people struggle with this in today's day in age. Does it inhibit the ability to think deeply and analyze things? #ED508

"The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle." - Nicholas Carr in "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" Has "deep reading" always been a struggle for today's students? They don't know a time without the distractions of technology. #ED508

@FaithBierma There's little in education that leads to more trial and error than technology!

[Danny Mooers @DannyMooers]

If we use technology is schools are we providing students with more of an opportunity to get addicted to it? Are there ways to combat this?

"If we lose our connection with the people in our building, I want no part of technology"- Couros. Is this reality? I'm not currently teaching, but when teachers get an opportunity to relax do they sit on their phones and not interact with coworkers? #DC508

@elli_taylor_ Schools are meant to prepare kids for real life. It can be dangerous if they take on the idea that they have to shelter kids from life outside of the classroom. What happens when they can no longer "protect" them?

@KarenWikkerink I grew up with the development of social media and the internet. It's hard to not let it control things. Whether it's watching movies with one another or playing video games, there's great opportunity to grow in community.

[Danny Mooers @DannyMooers]

@KarenWikkerink I like this comparison.. I think it varies by person and their situation in life. For students, I think emphasizing the importance of storytelling is key. Whether it's video, audio or print, telling a personal story of faith is vital.

[Danny Mooers @DannyMooers]

"Preparation does not necessarily warrant early participation"- Monke. Couldn't be more true. It's good for students to know what technology is capable of before they dive head first into it.

"Technologies themselves will carry with them the effects of our sin and our faith" - De Boer. Technology can spread our sinful actions easily. Do kids know this? Or do they learn after they make a mistake? #DC508

[Danny Mooers @DannyMooers]

"Technology itself does not tell us what to do. We use technology to bring our imagination to life"- De Boer... Is this still the case? People rely on technology for answers and direction. #DC508
