Paul A. Kirschner OK; I’ve covered taking notes with or without laptops and whether people learn better if they read from paper or screen. This is the third blog in an apparent, unplanned, trilogy. Disclaimer: Let’s sketch/frame the situation so there are no misunderstandings. Yes, I know that using a computer (e.g., laptop, tablet, smartphone)… Via Ivon Prefontaine, PhD

Cellphones in schools is a subject I’ve discussed at length before and one that doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon.

¿Ha cumplido sus promesas el aprendizaje en línea?
"Del aprendizaje en línea siempre se habla en grande. Se ha prometido una combinación efectos: de crecimiento de la matrícula, de enseñanza y aprendizaje mejores, de acceso más amplio, de más gente a la universidad y a menores costos.

Estas promesas a menudo se han formulado en términos de nuevos participantes en la oferta de estudios y de la disrupción de las instituciones convencionales."

"While there is little national data on how school systems handle such issues, it appears that approaches vary widely. Some schools ban smartphones, while others allow them in hallways or during lunch periods, or actively incorporate them into instruction."

Just over ten years ago, Karl Fisch wrote a blog post that has stuck with me through the years. In it, he asked if it was OK to be a technologically illiterate teacher. Even though we’ve learned greatly in the last decade about the merits of using technology to replace teachers, I think Karl’s arguments back then are even more relevant today. In this post, I’ll explain why. Via John Evans, Ivon Prefontaine, PhD
