The 1st meeting held on zoom was on Mar 18, 2021 12:45 PM
There were 6 in attendance. We began with a discussion of the part 1 of the book.
In this section, the reason for distraction is explored by Lang. We all tend to blame technology but Lang believes that it may not be the true cause of distraction. It’s not only our students that are distracted, but all of us are often distracted and technology seems to be more of a symptom than a cause of distraction.
We talked about developing a technology policy for the classroom as Lang suggests, there are many ways to develop such a policy. Some instructors ban technology but such policies may not be appropriate and can be problematic when some students use technology for learning accommodations. We also discussed the particular challenges we face in this remote learning environment.
