Why Do You Want This? |
Possible Downsides |
|---|---|---|
| Ipads are still somewhat expensive, but I believe that they will eventually have a more affordable option. Kids will multi-task in class. |
||
| laptops for students |
digital text books, blogs for language arts classes, typing papers instead of writing them (especially first drafts). Looking things up together online. |
Kids get distracted way too easily and play games/look up other web pages. |
| wireless remote device for students to answer questions addressed to the whole class |
Instead of calling a single student out in class to answer a question, every student's answer would show up on your computer, forcing students to at least attempt at questions asked in class. |
Expensive, kids embarrassed to answer, takes away the discussion/out loud experience. |
| Wireless Clicker |
A clicker is typically assigned in a big classroom and while questions are being asked during class then each student is assigned a clicker to answer the questions and get extra credit |
I feel like this takes away from students and teachers interacting. |
| Projector Tablet Technology |
using the android operating system, the projector would be able to slide the needed documents from the screen to another, allowing it to be more accessible and readily available. |
easily distracting to the students and teachers. |
