Pay Attention

I have recently watched a YouTube video called Pay Attention. This is one of the best videos that I have seen for teachers about incorporating technology into the classroom. It is real. The statistics are unbelievable and amazing to actually think about. I don't necesarily agree with the fact that we should have cell phones in the classroom, but if we did, what better way to use them then to assign projects and put them to practical use. I thought that the information was very realistic and interesting. It was a creative video to get into your mind and make you think about ways to incorporate different forms of technology into the classroom. Students are constantly using technology in their every day life. I think that we as teachers can show them different ways of using this technology to benefit their learning processes.

That video is a favorite for professional development days in school districts. It would certainly promote a lot of discussion!
