Mobile Learning and Interaction

The blog I read this week really made me consider how much we do on the internet and how people skills are going down the drain. Although technology can be a very positive thing, it is important to consider what it is doing to people’s manners and interaction skills in general. We spend so much time interacting on the computer that it is often difficult to have a conversation and work in a group together. These are important factors of life that definitely need to be considered if you want to transform your classroom into completely technology based. Although these tools are good for home, in the classroom it is definitely important to have your students interact with each other so that way they do not lose their basic human skills.  Often children now have trouble looking each other in the eyes or even just having a conversation without being distracted from their iPod, the television, or the tablet that is around them. Although it is nice to stay connected, it is important to enforce boundaries for these things.
