Beginning of the Semester Reflection
I think that it is important for teachers to use technology while they teach. Since children use technology more and more, they will be bored at school if technology is not incorporated in some capacity. If they are used to using computers, TVs, video games, ipods, and other sources of technology at home, they will not be interested in what the teacher is teaching if the classroom is absent of technology. There are many different ways to use technology in the classroom in order to promote learning. I think that teachers need to familiarize themselves with different forms of technology. It is important for teachers to know how to use technology in order for their students to learn in a fun and engaging way.

Kacie,
ReplyDeleteYes - if kids are using all sorts of technologies at home, as you mentioned, a teacher should be even more up to speed then his/her students' in technology. I wonder though, how in the world can a teacher create such educational yet engaging lessons that possibly compare to what video games and ipods offer? That's a tough competition! But you make a good point, that we should try our best to integrate technology in whatever way we can to not only keep their attention - but use it for excellent purposes!
