I liked the "advantages" students saw to using their devices while in the classroom:
"....staying connected (70 percent), avoiding boredom (55 percent) and doing related classwork (49 percent) "avoiding boredom" is a concern and what does "staying connected" mean? Poorly written survey it looks to me. I did a quick search on the terms "psych class" today on Hootsuite and I found these gems: "This girl in my psych class has gorgeous hair and a perfect face. #LusciousBrown" "these people in my psych class are literally so annoying" "Everyone in my Psych class is weird" "I think I accidentally just made my whole psych class think I'm a coke addict" "Oh my god. Please stop talking. I hate these people in my cognitive psych class" Michael Michael A.
