Why I Just Asked My Students To Put Their Laptops Away

January 24, 2015 By paulie Leave a Comment

Here’s a great piece on medium.com that lays out a great case why kids shouldn’t be able to use tech in their classrooms.

From the piece:

“The form and content of a Facebook update may be almost irresistible, but when combined with a visual alert in your immediate peripheral vision, it is—really, actually, biologically—impossible to resist. Our visual and emotional systems are faster and more powerful than our intellect; we are given to automatic responses when either system receives stimulus, much less both. Asking a student to stay focused while she has alerts on is like asking a chess player to concentrate while rapping their knuckles with a ruler at unpredictable intervals”.
