This is a hysterical article that will get you thinking about why schools ban ipods and iphones. It's worth reading if you're thinking about increasing the technology you use in your classroom. It could be used by anyone who wants to convince their school to consider allowing kids to use their technology for classroom learning.

Mary Ellen, I love this article. I actually bookmarked for future use for myself! How true it is that the misuse of a pencil can take on the same characteristics of the misuse of technology! I think it would be great to list the misuses without having the word pencil in the description and have adults guess what the complaints are actually referring. I wonder how many would guess a pencil?
ReplyDeleteMaryEllen -- How did you discover this article? I need to share this with some of my Social Studies dept.
ReplyDeleteGreat article. I hadn't seen this site before. I signed up for almost all the e-mails :-) I am always looking for really good educational sites. Thank you again
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info for Flubaroo as well. Are you going to incorporate that into your project?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure yet. We don't have great access to computers in our school, so I'm trying to design a project that will be realistic to use this year. I'm excited to see what your project looks like.
