Tuesday, April 10 at 5:30 pm – D’Evelyn auditorium
By Dana Miller In a recent study, students preferred mild electric shocks to the alternative – being without their cellphone while alone with their thoughts. Without a doubt, smartphones have infiltrated all aspects of our daily routine and they present many obvious desired benefits. But has our dependency gone too far? And how is smartphone use changing our youth? This presentation will consider the tenuous learning, social, neurological, and personal effects of pervasive student addiction with smartphones and technology. Colin Terry is the Associate Dean of Students at Colorado School of Mines. Colin is a sixth-year doctoral candidate at Michigan State University, where he will earn his PhD in Educational Psychology and Educational Technology in May. His doctoral work considers the motivational, psychological, and educational effects of technology in the classroom. Previous degrees were awarded by New York University (M.A.) and Gonzaga University (B.A.). More information about Colin and his publications available at www.colinterryphd.com. This presentation is crucial for anyone owning a smartphone. Students and parents are welcome as this topic impacts us all. Get Involved. Give Back to your School.
