The Distracted Classroom was a recent article that was posted on the VCC - School of instructor facebook page. I found it very interesting as it was describing the pros and cons of technology in the classroom. I feel that having a smart phone with them at all times is now part of Maslow's hierarchy of needs! Without it I don't know if the student would be present 100% and with it they are not present 100%. The best way, as the article indicates is to set some ground rules, while providing opportunity for use both personal and with classroom activities.
