For my faculty member I interviewed Leo the volleyball coach and sports psychology. Leo has been here at Arizona Western College for two and a half years. He transferred from University of Las Vegas. He is also a physical trainer for the women’s volleyball team and the women’s softball team. The insight I think he would have to share about technology is what he sees actually going on in the class room he is teaching in. Everyday he has to go up in front of college student which half of them, or even more are addicted to their cell phones. The problem he said he encountered regarding students and technology is that they always tend to be on their phones. He has a absolutely no cell phone policy, but students ignore the rule until they are told something. And even then they still try to just hide it more from him. When I asked him if he thinks technology is causing more harm than good for college students he was more content. He says technology does help to be online and do research, and also it make it easy for students to know any upcoming assignments. Or they can make up a test or quiz online. But he agreed that technology does cause a lot of distraction. While a lecture is being given student wouldn’t be paying attention and they will be on their phones instead. He says technology could go both good and bad, but he has to agree on more of the good side.
