The Digital Dilemma: Making Technology a Tool for Student Success--Not a Distraction
Homayoun, Ana
American Educator, v43 n1 p36-39 Spr 2019
Just as social media created a new language that causes a rift in understanding between many adults and adolescents, so too has the use of technology in classrooms. The author, Ana Homayoun, an educational consultant, spends much of her time helping young people harness the power of technology to improve their organization and time-management skills. Homayoun realized through her work with students and teachers that although teachers went to great lengths to make sure students knew how to use programs to help with note taking and information retention, such as Notability and Microsoft One Note, they had not done anything to help students come up with strategies for organizing files and managing workflow. This article discusses study and workflow strategies for helping students get more organized through the use of written planners and digital folders.
