Debunked: 5 myths about classroom technology

CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

After sleeping on it, I have calmed enough to limit myself to two thoughts, one borrowed:

• The second myth, about "Distractions":
  'Technology doesn’t make the classroom any more distracting than it already is.'

  Well, OMG, what a blatant lie...

  ...or drivel from someone totally out of touch what it's like in a classroom!

• The third comment to the article (at least at the time when I read the article):
  Patty Ginnebaugh · Tulane University

  What an insipid article and useless article. It was written by a freelance writer who clearly wrote it to make a buck. The devices are a huge distraction for many children and do not help kids develop social skills in any way.

  Nuff said!

Speaking of sleep...

...it's 4:30 a.m. and I've been at this since 1-something, so, good night!
