iPad Poll: Commentary Blue Messages: Students (Right) Gray Messages: Teachers (Left) “I have a gaming addiction now” “They use computers and textbooks more in college and the real world. iPads are unnecesary, a distraction, and just a waste of money” “I think some people don’t use it correctly; however, I think it makes everything much more organized.” “Like anything new, there is a learning curve and growing pains to using iPads in classrooms. Overall, they can be beneficial to students and teachers if utilized properly.” “I could never go back to books” “The iPads are a nice tool, but to make them a classroom necessity is almost too much.” “iPads are super helpful and I think it makes everything faster and easier! ” “Places around the world that don’t allow technology or limit technology in the classroom are leading the world academically. Last I recall, Finland is leading the world educationally and they don’t allow tehnology to even be brought into school. Figure it out.” “Maybe they’ll be a little less distracted next year, and maybe they’ll be able to use it for more academic reasons as time goes.” “I think iPads are the worst thing for my education. I would rather use it as a doorstop. I also think it is foolish that you guys are not using any negative surveys for the Chieftain. It is all propaganda. #StopChieftain2016” B R OTHE R R IC E H IG H S C H O O L C H HH
