In addition to shedding new light on how this tool is being used by faculty and its corresponding perception by students, we wish to use these data to study how faculty and student will behave in class with the use of the said device. Students and teachers including parents attitude is strongly impacted by the extent to which the school encourage and succeed in generating peer-discussion during the administration of clicker questions.

    Our modern society proceeds to greater intelligence, however, many of us depend on the internet for answers instead of gaining knowledge. “An hour of TV class, an hour of basketball or baseball or running, another hour of transcription history or painting pictures, and more sports, but do you know, we never ask questions, or at least most don’t; they just run the answers at you, bing, bing, bing, and us sitting there for four more hours of film-teacher.” (Bradbury 27) Clarisse explains how teachers rambles all the basic information for students, not allowing them to engage in discussions and dig deeper for information.

We can explore these opposing opinions in two works. While both the articles “The Littlest Schoolhouse” by Ta-Nehisi Coates and “Leave Your Laptops at the Door to my Classroom” by Darren Rosenblum explore how approaches to students’ learning styles can assist in the classroom, “The Littlest Schoolhouse” explores expanding the way students learn through technology while “Leave Your Laptops at the Door to my Classroom” discusses the benefits of banning technology entirely from classes.

The main teacher uses technology to aid the students to learn easy and faster. A smart board is present in the classroom, but the teacher doesn 't use it often as she prefers to use her own handouts and her specially created activities. I think this is effective as she can modify activities better and so that the students benefit from that personalized touch.

    There are positive and negative consequences when using technology in class that encourages and discourages engagement in students. Some researchers argue that cyber-slacking in the classroom has to do with the accessibility to internet and distracting websites unrelated to the class topic, the positive attitudes students have toward cyber-slacking, and conforming to the social pressures (Taneja, Fiore, & Fischer, 2014). Cyber-slacking can be a form of flight from topics they are not understanding, serving as a relief, becoming a positive reaction to cyber-slacking. Students will be more engaged in the class if teachers do not allow technology use in class, if there are consequences, such as being pointed out or getting a low grade on a
