This week my assignment was to create a podcast on student's use of technology, both at home and in school. I started with a questionnaire, asking my students what type of technology they used at home on a regular basis. Other questions were:
1. Discuss the differences between the technology use use at home and at school.
2. How do you think Kings Mountain High School prepares you in the technology field regarding your classes and your future education/employment?
3. What do you find to be the most beneficial tool, the least?
4. Do you think your teachers are more/less proficient with the use of technology compared to you and your classmates?
5. What would you like to see added to your classes to make them more engaging?
Demographics
My English 2 class consist of 24 students, non-honors.
2 ESL
6 with modifications
16 Boys/8 Girls
I found that five of my students do not have access to computers at home, they use the pubic library or school media center
100 % had their own cell phone
100 % had IPods or MP3 Players
70% Felt they were technology literate
12% Felt they were not as proficient as their peers in the use of technology
Enjoy the PodCast as they discuss this in their own words!
