The War On Drugs In The Classroom







The War On Drugs In The Classroom

The War On Drugs In The Classroom 11/10/2003 11:30 PM

The video shows police officers and K-9 units ordering suspects to the ground while they conducted a sweep. A tip had come in about clandestine drug activity, and in previous weeks one youth had been caught trying to distribute hundreds of prescription drug pills. During the sweep, police detained 107 underage suspects while they searched their backpacks. Police found no drugs, and were only able to report that some 12 backpacks had been singled out by the police dogs. Now if you were thinking this was a typical rave-turned-police bust, you're wrong. This was just before first period at Stratford High School in the sleepy Charlotte suburb of Goose Creek, South Carolina.

Clickers In The Classroom 04/28/2004 09:45 PM
Last year we had an article about the rising popularity of gameshow-like multiple choice wireless devices being used in the classroom. The idea was that professors could regularly ask questions of students and have them all input their answers - and get an immediate feel for whether or not the students were understanding the lesson. Now, the NY Times has picked up on the technology and has a similar article saying that many students and professors using the technology say it's been great in improving the classroom experience. Professors say that the class is more engaged (and less likely to be surfing the web or IMing during class) and focused on the material. It also means that the professor can more rapidly adjust the lesson in real-time if people aren't understanding. It certainly works better than the former proxy method where a single student would be asked (or would ask) a question, which the professor would use to determine whether or not the lesson was getting across. As with many technologies, it sounds like their are unintended benefits as well - incorporating the technology results directly into classroom lessons - such as using it to demonstrate statistics techniques on the fly, or using results as part of a sociological point. It also allows students who normally don't like to raise their hand to make their confusion known, without singling themselves out. Finally, students say that it just makes the class more fun, as it seems more like a gameshow (an analogy used in last year's article as well). There's one quote at the end from someone who is skeptical about the technology - but doesn't give much of a reason why, except that similar technology 30 years ago was a failure. Of course, that was 30 years ago, and I imagine the technology is a bit different these days. He also makes the point that the professor still needs to be a good teacher. I don't think anyone is saying otherwise. It's just that this technology can be used to enhance a good professor's lesson.
