How can we as educators model a deeper understanding of topics within their proper context? https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258360968 2022-08-10 17:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258360968 suellenbaxter https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258361115 This article was written in 2017.

]]> 2022-08-10 17:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258361253 The article mentions that we rely on sound bytes and tweets to inform us. How does this hinder the logical thinking that is necessary for our society? https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258361767 2022-08-10 17:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258361767 Question https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258362175 Since jobs are becoming more technologically advanced, wouldn't a constant use of technology be more beneficial?]]> 2022-08-10 17:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258362175 https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258362206 Students feel is if they can Google and answer that they may need. How can we change a student's feeling about reading materials prior to class and even in class?]]> 2022-08-10 17:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258362206 Different is not necessarily worse! suellenbaxter https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258362579 In many ways, my students know more about what is going on in the world than I did at 17. Often, they DO explore the topics they see in the headlines.]]> 2022-08-10 17:07:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258362579 The author suggests "detaching" from technology, but does that really help? How does me going for a walk help when I will still go back to my shallow understanding of headlines? It presents a problem but then a "solution" that doesn't seem to fit the issue. https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258363069 2022-08-10 17:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258363069 https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258364292 "Cellphones" are such a bad word in a school, how can we change that so they are helpful tools to use and how can we get kids to want to look into things/research topics-- "Academically, students no longer feel the need to read materials prior to coming to class." ]]> 2022-08-10 17:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258364292 It seems form the article that due to the technological revolution we have become too focused on the "ends" of education. Is it possible that we have forgotten to take a more holistic approach in focusing on the development of true human nature? In particular have we forgotten logic, reason, and religion? These things make us human. https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258364701 2022-08-10 17:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258364701 https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258367679 How can we use the technology to teach those critical thinking skills so that students can go deeper and comprehend the big picture?]]> 2022-08-10 17:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyhelms1/1xa29uyk6r6n23wv/wish/2258367679
