I think since I am a college student, it benefits me to know about this research and also what to watch out for when I become a teacher of secondary education. ]]> 2018-09-11 21:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterpickett6/ogm40qusp6g6/wish/280103954 Study Critique hunterpickett6 https://padlet.com/hunterpickett6/ogm40qusp6g6/wish/280104961 I believe this study was reliable and a beneficial study but, It would be interesting if for this study they actually attended a lecture and sat in the back row of the lecture hall and actually observed what people are doing on their laptops during a lecture. I feel like it would of also benefitted the study if they gave the questionnaire to high school students to see if the results would be the same. ]]> 2018-09-11 21:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterpickett6/ogm40qusp6g6/wish/280104961 Beyond Implications hunterpickett6 https://padlet.com/hunterpickett6/ogm40qusp6g6/wish/280107066 As a teacher this has to be a hard thing to tackle because technology is becoming more relevant in education that it ever has before. As a teacher I would allow students to use their laptops in class for taking notes and research. If they begin using their laptops for uneducational purposes, I will have to ban laptops in my classroom. Now that I have this knowledge from this research study, I feel like I will be able to spot students not doing what they are suppose to easier and know how to handle the situation beforehand. ]]> 2018-09-11 21:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterpickett6/ogm40qusp6g6/wish/280107066 Broad Implications hunterpickett6 https://padlet.com/hunterpickett6/ogm40qusp6g6/wish/280108202 As a teacher in todays society you have to be able to determine when technology is getting out of hand and when it starts distracting students from learning. Even though some people might have different opinions about technology, as teachers we need to be able to draw the line when laptops and such are getting distracting. ]]> 2018-09-11 21:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterpickett6/ogm40qusp6g6/wish/280108202 Hunter Pickett hunterpickett6 https://padlet.com/hunterpickett6/ogm40qusp6g6/wish/280126644 2018-09-11 22:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hunterpickett6/ogm40qusp6g6/wish/280126644
