Time Flies! It’s week 9 already? Cannot be, yet the date tells me it’s true. The pace of the semester has picked up considerably with the main assignments for PXGT6110 and PXGT6111 due pretty soon. Though the school holidays has started it does not mean any less work for me, being caught up with invigilation, marking and assignments. I will only be done with all these by the end of December, when school starts again! What bedlam!
Through this week’s presentation I was made to understand one thing, that is, pedagogy is more important that technology. we should actually use pedagogy to guide us towards the right technology to use in class and for each lesson. Because we are teaching languages or sciences and not technology. I will bear this truth in mind when I next design for my class.
I’m all excited about the possibilities of using technology in the classroom but also question the possible distractions that they bring with them, having my doubts raised after reading:
Distractions in the Wireless Classroom By Michael J. Bugeja
the article in the Edu Cause Quarterly address these concerns :
From Distraction to Engagement: Wireless Devices in the Classroom By Berlin Fang
