EDCI 3332 Post 5

For this blog posting I visited: from now on the educational technology journal at http://www.fno.org/sept2010/overequipped.html and read an article titled “Over-Equipped? Is it possible to have too many laptops? By Jaime McKenzie. The article touched on the fact that the possession of a laptop at home or at school does not automatically create better readers, writers or thinkers. As the article states;“What matters is how those laptops are used and what pedagogical strategies teachers have employed to make the best possible uses of the tools at hand.”Furthermore, this article stressed the importance of thinking strategically about the types and the numbers of tools being used during any one lesson because there are no set rules to control what works best. After reading this article I would like to investigate additional methods that can be implemented in classrooms that allow my students to work collaboratively in groups.
