week 7.

Teachers should not go too far, but should go far enough to get the students to relate & feel comfortable with the technology being used to complete classroom activities. I think by doing this, it would be a confidence booster for some students.

This could actually be argued from both points, because they could provide a means of communication from the instructor to the student. There are students that learned better from reading than listening, so it could work great for them. On the other hand, this could also be a huge distraction just the same to all students. Their focus could be decreased by with constant chatter amongst each other through the messages.

Well I would say depending on the student(s). There are students that learn differently than others. Some students do better learning things based on what they read and later shown and others must be told and shown, both at the same time.

It does enhance learning to students as well as instructors. I don’t think it is simple at all. It gets messages across to all people, because it automatically snatches attention when it is presented.

It all depends on what skill that is being taught or learned. Video games, believe it or not, can help develop some things quicker than reality. Reality does not always grasp the attention of its learners, but a video game is made to entertain and a learner must be entertained before he/she is taught.
