Facilitators: Laura Gentry, Tracie Bosket9:00-10:15 LLR 126 Facilitated Discussion: Electronic Devices for the Classroom

How many of us put into a course syllabus that all electronic devices should be turned off and stored during class? Or, we let students use their laptops only to take record the information during a lecture? Have you considered letting students use their electronic devices for researching topics, doing exercises, or solving problems during class? Since students have the latest technology at their disposal, there is potential for students to learn more. Let’s find ways to teach students how to use their electronic devices as a means to learn and find information during class. This will be a facilitated discussion where we can share and learn from each other how electronic devises are being used in the classroom.

“When technology integration in the classroom is seamless and thoughtful, students not only become more engaged, they begin to take more control over their own learning, too. Effective tech integration changes classroom dynamics, encouraging student-centered project-based learning.”
