Article Review 12

Yes please Mrs. Pripp! I am so glad that teachers are starting to stand up and say comments like these! It absolutely is not the device or tool that engages, it is indeed the content. My students elect to take German because they want to learn German, not because they want to play with tech tools. If they want to play with tech tools, they take other classes in the school/district. If districts around the country are continuing to make these purchases, we as teachers must take the tools/devices and make the most of them. I think it is all about how we can integrate the technology into our curriculum and we should never focus on the tool as part of our curriculum (unless, of course, that is our curriculum).
How can we use technolgoy to make our curriculum more engaging? I believe it's all part of teacher planning and creativity.
