@KABenn1616 @mpmccreery Finding ways to incorporate these laptops as a learning tool is the real issue as we learned through the sem #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@LadyArchimedes @mpmccreery Very true! Similar to our readings of learning "with" tech vs learning "from" tech <-> #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@DRWatUNLV @mpmccreery Very true. Only issue is finding ways to exploit those capabilities towards a student's learning #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@GoldynMichelle @mpmccreery Finding innovative and fun ways to incorporate their mobile devices into the lesson plans. #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@mpmccreery #cit667 <3 Make students appreciate the many educational uses and "taken-for-grantedness" functions of mobile tech.

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@mpmccreery #cit667 <-> Not a matter of "if" mobile tech can enhance edu, but "how" to integrate into class, especially when considering $

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@mpmccreery #CIT667 Tech only acts as replacement in education =(
eg: Calculators allow students to spend more effort on solution processing

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@rslamar90 @mpmccreery Teachers need to be educated on the proper ways to effectively implement the growing technology #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@DanielsZaira @mpmccreery We need to stress that tech is a tool to make instruction more effective, not a substitute! #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@GoldynMichelle @mpmccreery Detailed explanations and examples of the significant impact they can have in our communities #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@GoldynMichelle @mpmccreery I agree! It is easy for teachers to get caught up in tech and use it as a substitute instead of a tool #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@mpmccreery Fullan states that tech is better at driving us into distraction. How do we get pedagogy into driver seat? #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@SARiesselmann @mpmccreery How much teachers/students are willing to buy into the cultural change plays a bigger impact #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@katietoemaytoe @mpmccreery Tech has potential to make the classroom easier.I believe teachers need more training on implementation. #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@mpmccreery Do schools have adequate funding to keep up with current tech tools? #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@rslamar90 @mpmccreery Blending tech not only aids in delivering material, but also prepares students for this tech dependent world #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@GoldynMichelle @mpmccreery Teachers are adjusting to the new belief in technology & are trying to find effective ways to integrate #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@katietoemaytoe @mpmccreery Great question Katie! I would think that funding is one of the biggest issues schools would face. #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@mpmccreery How can schools better assist teacher in the push for improved technology integration? #CIT667

[Branson Chun @brans_unlv]

@LadyArchimedes @mpmccreery I too believe that media and content go hand in hand, and both have its place. #CIT667
