How do you think this study would change if it were done with students at higher levels?

What can we do as teachers to foster effective social skills in our students?

Teach students how to use electronics responsibly

I think kids in general have become a lot more brave in what they are willing to say because it is easier to say behind a screen. I think the kids used to be afraid of their teachers, they use to be respectful and now that they are brave enough to say anything they think, they are far less respectful to peers and to teachers.

Getting around social anxiety by letting students communicate in different ways - however, not developing social interactions

I think students have become more socially literate online, but it can have negative effects on person to person social interactions

older students use devices even more and rely on them for social interaction and source of knowledge

provide opportunities for social interaction without devices

I think it may help students with their written communication skills-

Model how technology can be used effectively within class time by providing them with opportunities to use their PED's for activities , and then putting them away when not necessary

Model how technology can be used to engage socially with people but also model and demonstrate how to engage socially without devices

More students suffer from social anxiety. Face to face interaction causes stress for some kids.

2017-02-06 17:50:49 UTC

More cooperative learning that facilitate social interaction without the use of technology.
For example: Allow for some subjects to use technology and others not to.

It can have both positive and negative effects on a student. Ultimately it will depend on the student, it could help provide anonymous posts such as this if a student may be too shy to comment in class.

Increases information intake, lowers face to face social interactions. Why do we hold one higher on a list of priorities. Especially as academics.

teach students how to be accountable for their actions on social media...its much easier to say something hurtful to someone 'behind a screen' as opposed to face-to-face

2017-02-06 17:51:13 UTC

Students spend less time talking face-to-face

Some children don't know how to have a conversation

There is a time and a place where technology can be useful. Use it appropriately.

allow for more time in class for students to work in groups and collaborate!
