Can removing Computers from Classrooms improve teaching?
http://chronicle.com/blogPost/Can-Removing-Computers-From/7279
The article I found was about an university thinking about taking the computers out of it's classrooms. In today’s time I totally disagree with this. We are in an era of technology were computers are part of everyday life and make life easier. I couldn’t imagine going to most of my classes and not having the instructor use a computer. That would be an extremely boring hour. Me personally I would, be knock out in no time. On the other hand professors do tend to just use PowerPoint and just lecture from that. That’s up to the teacher. Speaking from my own experience I have done better when a professor does use PowerPoint and I don’t have to write down eight pages of notes. Another point if the professor themselves would get more involve and include open discussion questions with the PowerPoint the computers could stay and students could get that open discussion we all like to do.
