Then, answer the questions.  Person A: I think it is important to get with the times. Nowadays, students are totally addicted to their smartphones. Instead of fighting them on it, I asked them how I could engage them better. Students answered a few questions about how they wanted to use social media more productively. So, I started a class hashtag. Students can contribute to discussions using it and add links to justify their points. I monitor it and I see them engaging with it to ask questions about homework as well. I also encourage students to use it to tell me what they like and dislike about the lessons. Person B: I’ll admit, I doubted technology’s effectiveness in the class. I thought that because I learned without it, it was an unnecessary feature. In fact, I used to make students switch off their phones before entering the room. However, I changed my mind when a fellow teacher showed me a website that she used in class.

They were constantly texting, or scrolling through social media during lessons and it was hard to establish rules with them. Even when I forbid them from using their mobile phones in class, I would catch them sneakily using them under their desks. I understand that it is important for teens to keep in touch. Thus, if we are able to get through all the material, I permit them to have a 5-minute break on their devices. I have found this to be quite effective.   Which person … 4.1. incorporates social media in their lessons? ________ 4.2 was hesitant to use smartphones in class? ________ 4.3 learned more about technology from a colleague? ________ 4.4 uses technology as a reward? ________ 4.5 relies on technology in the classroom? ________ 4.6 wants to help teachers adapt? ________ 4.7 accepts regular feedback? ________   Part 4: Read the text.
