Technology in Education

What is Technology?
I see technology as innovation used to improve lives.

What is your experience technology?
though limited, my experience has been rather positive.

How would you integrate technology into the classroom?
  • use of laptops, projectors, cameras, videos, DVD players in lessons
  • use of the Internet for research
  • reinforcement/enrichment exercises
  • posting and receiving assignments
Do you think technology can promote learning? Why?
Yes! Since they are already immersed in technology they would easily gravitate towards various medium.  as long as it is used in a positive way, productivity would be seen and increased.  students would be more fascinated by the use of technology as oppose to the chalk and talk.  This progressive way of teaching and learning is what you need to hold their interest for as long as possible while knowledge is being transmitted.

Students reaction to the use of technology in the classroom
  • increased attention
  • increased attendance
  • more involvement from students
  • classes would be more interactive
  • less boring , more fun
