New Thinking 10.7

Today I learned computers are really distracting. Honestly, I was so overwhelmed by my group presentation and then having to blog a reflection about it that I didn't pay any attention in class. I just typed up my reflection and semi-listened to something about an educational video game a previous student had made for the class. So, new thinking for today is that instruction should come before computer time, due to uncontrollable distraction. As a future teacher, I will give all directions and instruction in the classroom before anyone is even allowed to log on to a computer, that way I know they'll be listening, well, at least a better percentage will be.
