Link. If you dare.
This article discusses the use of technology such as smartphones and iPads to engage students in the classroom. It talks about how teachers are being trained to use the devices as tools, not replacements, and even how the students help the teachers use the device. The article even mentions using technology on students with disciplinary issues seemed to reduce their outbursts and kept them in the classroom.
This article is the epitome of my motivation. Engaging students in the classroom. Technology fascinates kids, whether you're a big techie or just like playing games. If the technology is used right, then it becomes a tool, rather than a distraction. I may base my entire paper on the themes brought up in this article.
