The current takeaway from the research is that there are potential benefits and risks to deploying technology in learning environments.
There are definitely many ups and downs to technology but this is the case with anything. It can be very beneficial if it is used to its full potential
technology often represents not just one more “task” to have to attend to in a learning environment, but multiple additional tasks
I agree, technology can be very distracting especially when it comes to social media.
The truth is that infants, in particular, learn by interacting with our physical world and with other humans, and it is likely that very early (passive) interactions with devices
I agree, i think infant definitely need physical interaction to be able to develop properly.
On the other hand, the evidence is decidedly mixed on the neurological impact of technology use. In November 2016, the American Association of Pediatrics updated their screen time guidelines for parents, generally relaxing restrictions and increasing the recommended maximum amount of time that children in different age groups spend interacting with screens.
This whole statement is very broad as it is indicating that everyone is affected by technology in the same way.
We are seeing that students and families from privileged backgrounds are able to make choices about technology use that maximize its benefits and minimize its risks, while students and families from marginalized backgrounds do not have opportunities to make the same informed choices.
I agree, Those who are from privileged are able to work with and utilize technology to its full potential but those who aren't struggle to use it and understand technological terms.
blended learning can produce greater learning than exclusively in-person learning.
I agree as i think it is important to utilize technology
better academic outcomes than comparable classrooms that did not include technology.
Although i think technology enhances learning, there is also classrooms that don't use technology and still educate students just as well.
increased access to technology in school was associated with improved proficiency with, and increased use of, technology overall
Employers are integrating technology into the work place so it is important that students learn the basic tools of technology so that they are qualified for jobs in the future.
When technology is integrated into lessons in ways that are aligned with good in-person teaching pedagogy, learning can be better than without technology.
I completely agree with this statement because it can really enhance learning and make the classroom environment more fun. For example, teachers can use games like kahoot and jeopardy which not only educates the children but allows them to have fun.
how to approach the use of technology in learning environments to maximize opportunities for learning and minimize the risk of doing harm to students.
As technology is something that is being used a lot more in the world, i think it is beneficial that is used a lot in the classroom. However, we need to understand that some students work differently and technology may not be the way that they learn.
Or that college students’ learning declines the more devices are present in their classrooms.
I believe that devices really enhance learning and make college a lot easier. For example, here at Graceland we use a brightspace which is an online resource for all of our assignments
ll bet you’ve read something about technology and learning recently.
I was in a psychology lecture that discussed how technology effects learning in the classroom
