I was always taught that school and home are two different places and so there are certain things that I use at school and then certain things that I use at home or outside of school. I don't think of using facebook, video game systems and cell phones in the classroom because I was always taught you don't do that at school and if you do you will get in trouble. So when asked to think of technology in the classroom those things don't come to mind. Sure I have seen students use them in the classroom but that means that they are off task and not paying attention to what is going on. I do not think that it is a good idea to incorporate those technologies into the classroom because the line between school and outside of the school becomes blurred. I was raised to be on my best behavior outside of the home and when I was at home I had more slack because I was not in the public eye. So I think if we brought these things from home into the classroom, students would act like they are at home and not in a learning environment. I also think they would get distracted easier because they are familiar with the technology and know other things to do besides what the task is. It is also to keep your personal life and your school life seperate from one another because sometimes you just need a break from it all.
