A couple of years ago my 10th Grade advisees asked my help in conveying to the rest of the faculty how overwhelming their technology demands were becoming. Just in terms of note-taking, for me and my partner teacher they were required to use Evernote, for another teacher they were expected to use Google Drive, in another class they were asked to use Dropbox and in another—with a more traditional teacher—they were tasked with organizing a three-ring binder. (With real paper!)

As mobile device usage has exploded, some people are questioning the proper use of these devices among children. Most teachers and parents agree that this technology is a valuable tool—but are students too “plugged in”? How much screen time is too much.

Regardless of what kind of technology is available to you, the Digital Age that we teach and learn in requires principals and teachers to stop asking why they should be using technology in the classroom and start asking how they can maximize the tools they have available to them to enhance student achievement.

Soon, our devices won't be turned on or off. Instead, technology will be everywhere, it will always be working, and it will motivate us to do what we like to do. Our lives will be facilitated by myriad adaptive applications running on different devices, with different sensors, all of them collecting tidbits about everything we do, and feeding big digital brains that can adapt applications to our needs simply because they get to know us. This is not a futuristic idea. It’s the dawn of a future when technology isn’t turned on or off anymore. Technology becomes a ubiquitous web of supporting events that will motivate us to do what we like to do. All for a better, more enjoyable life.

Trying to find one device that will be THE device students will ever need is like saying the only tool a handyman will ever need is a screwdriver. If we want students to be creators, publishers, and global contributors we shouldn’t limit them to only one platform.
Something suitable for a primary grade student isn’t necessarily suitable for an 8th grader. We must be ready; and okay with this.
