This explains alot. Technology also helps alot when u need to do a research or studies. As you know, ever since technology rise, teachers have been giving us a lot of researches, projects and online assignments to do. Hence, teachers have to be grateful for that technology is there, hence it lessens their burden.
They say younger people have shorter attention spans, thanks to technology. If that’s the case, then we need to tailor our pedagogy for more engaging activities. People who are anti-technology still want us to teach the way people have for hundreds of years in a method call intensive-explicit – I stand in the front of the classroom and tell you what you need to know.
Is that how we learn nowadays? Let’s say I wasn’t helpful and didn’t provide a definition of intensive-explicit instruction, but you wanted to know what it meant. What would you do? Google it, of course. That’s the power of technology: I can learn so much about the world through my own sense of discovery. The trick for today’s teachers is to instill that sense of discovery, and traditional intensive-explicit instruction will not foster that independence.
It’s not about throwing technology into the classroom for the sake of having bells and whistles. It’s about teaching kids that these wonderful devices and programs are powerful tools that can help expand their minds and creativity.
But the naysayers believe technology stifles creativity. Go to this website then come back and continue your argument. Thanks to Web 2.0, we have the ability to create, manipulate and communicate in ways unheard of in a traditional classroom. Fifteen years ago, I wasn’t able to work on a project with my classmates via Google Talk and the collaborative tools that Google Drive provides. Now the journalism class I teach can use Drive in the same way a professional newsroom would use a news-editing program – and it’s free!
Technology gives teachers tools that we could never have without a lot of preparation and supplies. Plus, these tools are available out-of-the-classroom, so kids can continue their learning when the bell rings. I create video lessons on a new concept that the students must watch at home. When they come to class, they can apply their skill and knowledge of the concept, and I can assess their knowledge and make corrections on the spot. It’s called the flipped classroom, and it’s a very good way to infuse technology into modern teaching standards.
The argument that kids can’t learn life skills through technology is preposterous. The problem is that people see technology as just Angry Birds, Facebook, YouTube music videos, and word processors that fix your spelling and grammar problems. That does exist, but so do tools that can enlighten your mind like nothing else.
Many people tend to blame the technology, which has made people to look like annoying. Aren’t you feeling like this? Technology has its pros and cons, where we are choosers to make our choice to make technology a boon.
Modern life has been made easier with technology, but for every development, there is an equivalent increase in complication that seems to compensate those benefits. When contemporary day problems occur, we usually don’t have the time or power to figure out how to solve them and what to do with them. Here I am going to give you a guide, which can help you certain extent to solve modern problems that have aroused by technology.
When it comes to computer, the internet is the phenomenal invention of all time, where we can find anything and everything on the go. And also, there is a potential of frustration on it to find suitable things in at a given period of time
