week 7

I believe that educators should do their best to match today's technology in the classroom. I have no problem with the idea, as long as course objectives are being taught and understood by students. Technology have made learning easier and more fun. Online chats can be a plus or minus. They will only work if the teacher enforces rules.Overall I think it is a distraction.
I prefere Asychronous communication over sychronous, because it allow the student time to respond. face-to-face is the best. Videogames and studying-does not sound right. I believe that it is only as affective, as the student allows it to be. Videogames would help me study, because I need things to keep me excited about learning. On the other hand, some people are different. I have no problem with video games, as long as the it doesn't take away from the child's social interaction.
