Reflection 9

I have that technology is very important in the classroom. There are a lot of advantages of bringing in technology. First of all, most students that I know learn visually. Not all students are the same. There different types of learning; some students learn visually, hands-on and auditory. The teachers must use different ways to teach. They should also give the students different options as for taking in information, and use their own ways to come up with answers. I feel like the use of technology is important because some teachers can just use the power point to show those visual students what the material is about. Many teachers can also assign homework through the internet.
Especially the science teachers; instead of giving the students assignments on cardboard, they can ask them to use the internet with parent permission to search and to be creative. The technology will help students to be more focus in the subjects and less distract by other things. As an education major, I will be using the technology to help my students. I will give them assignments to do online when they go home. This might be a way for me to keep them busy at home. I will also ask the parents for their email address. That way when I need to discuss something with one of the students’ parents, I could just send them an email.

Students will learn if they are grouping. I will assign group work for my kids. They will be required to go online to a website provided by me to search for whatever it is. It could be a project. The use of technology, especially the internet, is debated in learning. If a teacher wants to be advanced in his or her teaching style, he or she might consider using the technology. It may also be used to promote teachers or students. The technology helps the teacher to put class activities and process of each student. With this technology, teacher may also use it to send out weekly lecture to parents. If for instance a student misses a day of class, that student will know what was covered. That was I have learned about the use of technology in classroom.
