The purpose of this wiki is to discuss how technology can either be a useful tool in the classroom or a disruption to the students.

The last post was on June 23, 2010 at 6:50pm.

This wiki was created by using wikispaces.

We would add to it by mentioning the fact that technology is always changing and it can be helpful for collaborations.

We learned that technology can be very powerful and useful in the classroom.

If we created a Wiki with a team the specific topic would be how handheld devices can be helpful in the classroom.

1. The purpose of this Wiki is to show that technology can be harmful and disruptive to oneself and other beings in a classroom or even at home.

2. The last post was at June 23,2010 at 6:50 pm. The post was by kellipeck.

3. This wiki was created by signing up for Wiki and using Wiki spaces.

4. We would add that cell phones are disruptive in class. Also we would add external links to some pages that show class disruption to support the statistics. Pictures wouldn't hurt.

5. We learned that people who talk in class and use cell phones are disruptive to the class and harm others in the process by not being able to concentrate. Also that Wiki is a great way to collaborate ideas and current issues in the world due to the fact that technology is changing and people rely and pay attention to that more than the school or family.

6. If we created a Wiki team, our specific topic will be about sports. Sports are interesting and people would want to catch up on their favorite team or player.

--The purpose is to show how technology is and can be disruptive in the classroom.

--the last message is jun 23 2010 at 6:50 pm

--Wikispaces

-- We would add some quotes from people who deal with these distractions first hand. It allows the viewers of this wiki to recognize this distraction from actual things that happen.

--This taught us that even good technology like calculators and smartboards can be distracting to many more student than we all know.

--If we were to set up a wiki our topic would be how these items are helpful and not distractions in the classroom to go against this wiki and show the other side.
