Well, It's actually week 3 already, I am really trying to keep up and not to drown in the homework load :)
Iv'e been reading several Blogs and have encountered an important article regarding a controversial issue - using of laptops in classrooms. (you can find this article in Edudemic's blog.)
recently I have started my "Itnasut" in Rotberg High-school and encountered several kids using laptops during class. I thought it was odd, how can the teacher know whether they are participating in the class or, in fact, using facebook and chatting?
this Blog is trying to discuss the Pros and Cons of this method.
Pros - empowerment of students, a more personalized education that will allow students to learn at their own pace.
Cons - Limitation in the technology the school has\can afford. some say that technology is in fact a distraction.
I personally think that computer might be an effective tool, it can also provide cheap textbook and access to information. BUT some contents (like facebook, Instagram etc) must be banned.
perhaps the students can be given restricted laptops.
What do you think?
Danielle
