I pad- Distraction or Major Resource?

Pew, pew, pew- rrrrrRRRR- bang- ca-CAW… ” Good morning class.. Please put your i-pads away. You won’t need them. Today we will be learni- Nick, what are you doing back there?” “Uh… Stud-dd-y Habits?” “Didn’t your hear me say apples up!” I-pads are very distracting!!

I mean who couldn’t resist a glowing 10-inch screen that has(who’s knows what..) moving all around it? For some its an irresistible treasure and a “Must have…” For others it’s a learning tool and used to store all of their homework. In my opinion that’s what it is intended for and should be used for. All throughout the day if you take a peak into a classroom you will definitely see at least one person playing a game. I see people getting in trouble all the time for playing games.

Many i- pads have been taken up for people playing games on them during class and many people have lost their i- pad privileges in certain classes. Therefor I think that teachers should be more strict about I-pad use in class and when people are allowed to use them.

    Great showing in that introduction!

    Student game-playing that spills over from passing period into the first minutes of class does frustrate me as a teacher. I’d like kids to come in and tune in to what’s going to be happening in English class that day.

    The vast majority of the time, though, iPads in English have been wonderful! Love Google Drive for essays and Edublogs for publishing writing!
