“A friend and fellow educator sent a shock through my system last week. He told me he was so frustrated by rude and distracted behavior on digital devices in his journalism labs that he imposes a ban on laptops, tablets and cell phones turned on during class.
Not known for subtlety, I asked, ‘Are you insane?’
The interaction led to a productive conversation about digital distractions and effective teaching practices in a connected age. Somewhere in the combination of our approaches and their devices is a sweet spot that can move learning forward.”
E learning has many advantages which makes learning easy, but it has many disadvantages also. Many students misuse it. It must not be banned but some other steps must be taken to solve this problem.
