Technology in the Classroom	William Wieland
You may use technology in my classroom if it helps you learn. For example, you may take notes, follow along with my online materials, and look up pertinent information. However, I do not permit distracted learning. For example, you may not chat, text, facebook, or play games.
Social media and computer games are addictive and sometimes manipulative.
Final points to remember: Writing notes by hand generally helps us learn better than typing notes. Writing notes by hand certainly helps us learn better than taking photos of notes. Technology may distract you, but even more troubling, it may distract others.
Learn to “singletask”. Turn off your distractions and really focus on the job at hand.
