The survey may have been right about parents willing to spend money on a mobile device for their child but I doubt they survey considered the cost of it. I think that as educators we face a difficult battle between technology and the lack of funds. I think there are benefits to technology but the sad reality is that money is a huge factor in allowing us to use it to it's potential.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439829566469492612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274947153361524765.post-59531879897649341872012-11-13T13:09:03.177-08:002012-11-13T13:09:03.177-08:00Hey Julian,
I have to agree with you on all count...Hey Julian,<br /><br />I have to agree with you on all counts. I found it hard to believe that i we on't get students working with an ipad than we are missing out on giving them an education. With the cost of technology being so hi and the fact that not all the students can afford one, it becomes a real equality issue. I'm curious where all the money will come from, we seem pretty tight stringed already. As for having the ability to have a school sight, we have one, with all the resources, lecture materials, graphic organizers, practice moodle tests and more. What I have seen is that there is very little proactive work ethic coming from many of our students and I do not think that getting mobile devices is the answer. I will have to preface that by saying I have not used one and would love the opportunity to see what it can really do.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16567624396582475229noreply@blogger.com
