EMS educators have the dual responsibility of teaching technology and teaching with technology. The conversation on Episode 51 of the EMSEduCast begins with a discussion about using e-readers like the Kindle and the iPad. Then Greg, Bill, and Rob with comments and questions from the live audience talked about the need for educators to teach computer skills, educator comfort and anxiety with teaching and technology, student access to computers and information, and the growing presence of social media as a teaching opportunity, but also a distraction.
We are interested in your answers to some of these questions:
- Would you use a textbook that was available as an ebook for the Kindle or iPad?
- Should students be allowed to use a smartphone or laptop during lectures?
- What technology do you want to incorporate into your EMS classroom but don’t know where to start?
