I believe that technology should be used in the classroom. A teacher should not soley rely on technology in order to teach. But instead, technology should be used as another teaching method in order to reach more students in a teacher's classroom. I think that if technology is used in the right way it can be a great help to both the teacher and the students but it can also be a hinderance to learning if the teacher is not properly explaining how to effectively use it or overuses it. In today's world, students need to know how to use technology in order to be a part of society. We use it constantly and I believe that it is almost impossible not to have to use it.
Check out this video I found about a teacher who was teaching an Algebra class to students who had never had success in math until she used technology to teach this class.
I totally agree that technology is inevitabe in todays world. As teachers a lot of responsibility falls to us top prepare children for the world. It is a very fine line between good and bad uses of technology and you seem to understand that. I wish I could watch the video in class but I will be checking it out when I go home.
ReplyDeleteLike Mara said, there really is a fine line between the uses of technology. It's very important to have, but the way people use it is what concerns me.
