Links to check out 1/26/18
I have been on hiatus from my blog for quite a while now. I want to start back up with some of the links I have found this week that some of you may find interesting. I will try to give a brief description of each to help you determine if it is worth looking into.
This first article was interesting. While I don't know that I totally agree with the author, I do think there are some valid points in this article. In reality, if a teacher is doing their job well, you won't see the extremes mentioned in this article.

In K-12 and college classrooms across the country, some educators are enacting at least partial device bans, some are advocating for teaching-style changes (fewer lectures, for example) and still others are seeking help from the technology itself. There’s little consensus, except that the peril of digital distraction neither starts nor ends in school, and learning to tame our tech obsession is a new and vital life skill.
