Jesse Miller gave an impactful talk on technology and how the evolution of it is affecting the classroom as well as our everyday lives. There has been a clear shift on social norms that are the result of technology, more specifically social media. In terms of technology, Jesse emphasized how prominent cell phones are in the classroom. As someone that has teachable in social studies and PHE, it was interesting to think about the difference of the impact in each class. As discussed, cell phones are not a large problem in PHE as the students are not able to be on their phones while running around and participating in physical activity. Social studies on the other hand is a setting where students may be on their phones more often. An easy way to hopefully get students away from being on their phones in setting a clear expectation at the beginning of class and using gentle reminders if needed. In terms of social media, I think that it allows teachers to open the conversation up about access and validity of what you see online. This then can be tied into social studies as a platform for research and understanding biases within certain content/ideas. Miller also discussed safety in regard to technology. In terms of being a teacher, we discussed safety through boundaries. This includes keeping social media private, which is a new obstacle as it has become such a prominent part of society. Although I had previously thought about this and understood the importance of not showing students my life that has been posted, I did not think about it in regard to me seeing the students. This is important as setting the boundary of not sharing social medias is protecting your safety as well as your students. Jesse Millers discussion is important as it starts the conversation and gets us to continue to think about it as social media and technology continues to progress.
