Technology in the Classroom
Technology plays a major role in today's society. Students are beginning to get practice with this technology not long after they start school. This will help prepare them for future jobs as well as make it easier for some of them to learn the material. Teachers are beginning to incorporate technology into their classrooms in many different ways.
In the video Harness Your Student's Digital Smarts one teacher tells the story of how she uses technology in the classroom. Students are using technology in every aspect of their learning experience. Students all learn differently and with technology currently on the rise a lot of students learn best using technology. In her classroom students not only use the technology to learn, but they also get the chance to teach the class. I believe this gives students more motivation to learn. If they know they have to use the information to teach the class then they will be more likely to make sure they are familiar with the material. This would allow students to have a good lesson planned. The teacher even stated that the students had taught her things she did not know. If students are interested in what they are learning or the items that they are using to learn about the material then they will be more likely to explore the material further. This is important because every student should have the chance to learn in the way that they learn the best.
As a future teacher I believe that I should use many different methods in my classroom to help the students learn. Since technology is on the rise I believe that it is important that students get the chance to explore different types of technology. Letting students teach the class from time time would get the students more interested in the material.
In my future classroom I could allow students to use technology as a method of learning.Students could have many different assignments involving technology. This would give every student a better chance of learning the material.
