Should technology be used in the classroom?
This presentation really helped me evaluate how I should properly use technology in the classroom. I was really opinionated about whether or not video games were appropriate to use in the classroom. I don’t think video games are a good use of time. Whether I dislike video games because I am a girl or if it is because I have seen the devastation to a person’s attention that it can do, I do not support video games. My brother already had attention problems, and as soon as the computers and video games came into play my brother stopped doing homework and stopped attending school. This is an extreme case, but I do believe that the immediate gratification affects the student’s attention spans.
Dr Boyer says that video games increase reaction time. This has been proven especially for doctors. Some doctors even play video games before they go into surgery because it has been proven to create fewer mistakes.
