ipads and collins videos

the ipads could be good if they were used better

If students didnt play/imessagwe/imgur etc. all throughout class and actually used the ipads for their sharing capabilities that would be good.

If kno were better. I dont know how to improve it or what is bad with it (neither would be usefut to put in this blog), but i know that it is certainly not perfect and would make the reading experience better if it was.

ipads are distacting by nature--- i know i cant only read when i set out to read. whereas with a book i could read it all without diverting off

Nobody told us why ipads would be so great, so we are left with our naturally cynical and negative teenager view of them with little positives other than that they are fun. we were also not asked if we wanted them--not a good thing with teenagers

human psychology and neurology dictate that when you do a certain action over and over with a certain object, you become less able to do another task with the same object. this applies to the ipads because all we do with them is play, socialize, and procrastinate; and when it comes time to actually work, we cant because it is ingrained in us that "when i hold this device, i am playing."

the colluns activity was really good because it promoted bonding between the class, made the material relatable, made us understand the section, and sparked interest in the rest of the novel.
