Personal technology in the classroom (e.g. smartphones and laptops) can either enable or hinder teaching effectiveness. It can enable teaching to the extent that instructors are able to incorporate technology tools in their teaching (e.g. mobile apps, or online gaming). On the other hand, the very same technology (e.g. texting, web-surfing) can hinder learning as it can be a source of distraction to the students.
PDW participants will learn/share ideas best manage technology in the classroom. The PDW code for registration is PDWGONP4. Please
