Our Class Monthly Forum

     Should nooks, ipads, ipods, and cell phones be used in the classroom? Why? Or why not? If you could use these tools in the classroom, how would you as a student, use these materials in the classroom?  Please type in your comments and solutions in the wiki space below.

Yes because if the device is the teachers Ipad or tablet we would only learn on it.We would be learning more math,science and spelling on it.We would only be doing what the teacher tells us to do on the ipad or tablet. We should also use them for learning and spelling and other things. We would only go on sites that we are aloud to go on.

No, we should not bring our phone or ipods or any devises to school because it will be a distraction to people. Yes, we should be responsible to bring our tablets home. The tablets would be a good tool to use and a fun thing to do.

I think yes and no about electronics being used to learn. Yes, we should use them in class because it is faster typing than writing. We can also play educationall games. I also think no because some times kids press stuff by accident and some kids go ahead of the teacherand their parents. That would not be safe.

Yes, I think we should learn about technology. We need to try and see if it could work or not work. If it doesn't work then studies will show that and the technology people will throw it away. It will have to work because if it works we will be happy.

Yes, I think that technology should be used at school but only for classwork and school work. If someone plays on them, they should be taken away and not allowed to use them. They would lose their right to learn that way. I would like for it to help me with my math, reading and other school stuff. If I needed to find my info on the web, it could be an amazing tool to have. I also say no that we shouldn't have them in class because some students do not pay attention and schoo work would be harder.

Yes, they should because, we could calculate on it and we could play math games to help us get our math skills up. We could use them for writing our homework. Writing with a pencil is so slow. It is faster on the tablet.

Yes because they will help us with are learning and also tell us facts and opinons. When we need help from a teacher, we can say we need help with a questions and look it up on the computer. If your teacher don't have a voice, we can text her.

I thin yes and no about the technology.I think yes because it can help you with math,writing and assignments. I think no because it might be a diistaction for some friends. You can also use them for studying, caculating and collauges.

I think it is a good idea and a bad idea at the same time. I think it is a good idea because I can learn. I think it is a bad idea because it might be a distraction to some people. I also think it is a little bit of a bad idea because these things can get broken and messed up.

Yes because it will heip us with math, science and reading. We need those things. It will help us do problems that we do not get if we have problems that we don't understand. We can type in the problem and find ways to solve it.

Yes, because if the power goes out you have something to do.If you go home early, you could find out your about your work from the computer.

Cell phones should not be used because they keep kids off of task when they are trying to do their work. When the teacher is telling you something to do, kids don't hear what the teacher is telling them. Some kids might be playing games, texting or making a phone call.

Yes because they might have things that can help them on what they are doing in school. They could use the calculator on it. It can be used for home work too.They can do other fun stuff like that too.\

Yes because we make our own stuff. It is good for math. It helps us read and we can do our homework with it.

Yes phones, nooks, ipads, and ipods should be in the school because we can lea rn more about technology. We can have fun, get homework done faster and get work done faster. We can read on it.

No, because it might be a distraction to others and it might keep them from learning. I think yes also, because it could help us with our learning. It can help us with writing, spelling and math.

Yes, I think we should use them because you can learn more about t he devices and go onthe internet. It can help teach us new things. We can learn out how to turn computers on and off. When we take them home, we learn to take care them.

Yes, I think you should be able to bring tablets. It can help people if they had spreadsheets and stuff like that.

Yes, we can read and do other stuff with them. W e can play fun stuff. We can learn math and science on them.

Yes and the reason is because you could read on them. You can have a lot of fun on them too. I think no because kids sometimes look at stuff the are not suppose to look at and that is not safe. We could use math games and listen to music.

I think you should be able to bring them to school. You can research things, and read books on the tablet. You can send and receive book reports and projects while you are at home.
I would use my nook to read books. In my it free time, I could play games till it's time to learn again.

Yes it think we should. If everyone has a device, we could do thinks faster. We might get to do extra learning stuff. Whe we use paper and pencil, it take us longer. Our math problems will not take us as long to solve. We really need the devices at Rural Hall School.
