Kyle Isaacs, my assistant basketball coach as well as an
administrator for AWC agreed to allow me to interview him on the topic of the
use of technology by college students. As a coach Isaacs has had trouble with
players using cell phones during film sessions. But, he knows that because of
the technology of cell phones and the internet it is much easier to communicate
with players in order to relay practice times and also for recruiting purposes.
On the other hand, he believes that technology does more harm than good for
those who are distracted easily saying, “there are a few players who get
distracted too easily during study hall and I have to step in and regulate”. He
of course was not referring to me because I am extremely studious and would
never get distracted easily or procrastinate. Isaacs also works in the
admissions department and says that he has problems with students coming to
meetings unprepared despite there being “clear instructions posted online” for
what to bring to the meeting. Because of the failure to use technology by these
students it causes a hassle for Isaacs because he has to walk them through step
by step what exactly they need before they can come back and receive guidance.
Isaacs as a whole says that “technology is a good thing for students, I was
fortunate enough to go to school when technology was becoming a bigger part of
education which made it easier than it was in the past.” This reflects the
benefits of technology in research.
