As the classroom became quiet as they\u00a0interacted with\u00a0their iPad screens rather than verbally with one another, I had a sense of impending doom. But some students seem to have actually felt that using such electronic interactivity was an aid to discussion, allowing people to be honest even about controversial issues without fear of being judged.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m still digesting how it went, but it certainly seems clear that the presence of such technology in the classroom, in the hands of all students, allows them to interact differently than in the traditional small group discussion; and many of them are more comfortable using technology to interact. It also kept the class as a whole connected even when broken up into small groups.<\/p>\n
