Hello
everyone!
This is my very first time using Blogger and my first post. First
of all I would like to wish you all and your families good health in these
difficult times . I think that blogger will help us to express better our own
opinions and to learn how to respect other's opinions too. This platform
will prepare us not only in teaching the students English but also
learning them how to use technology in learning new things.
To start with we all know that nowadays technology is
becoming the most important part in our lives. Technology in education and the
right devices in students' hands helps prepare them with the career and
technical skills they need to be successful today and in tomorrow's
workforce. On the path to personalizing learning, technology empowers
students by giving them ownership of how they learn, making education relevant
to their digital lives and preparing them for their futures. With technology
and access to resources beyond classroom walls , students are inspired to
become problem- solvers, critical thinkers, collaborators and creators. Where
technology has been successfully integrated into classrooms, students develop a
lifelong love of learning.
The other topic that I would like to mention is the impact of technology on Teaching Practice. The human element in the learning
process, the advent of computer technology , classroom teaching and guided
self- learning , provides an opportunity to reflect upon principles that
enhance learner’s status and expand the teacher’s co-ordinating role. So with
new methods and technology , the lesson is more interactive and the class isn’t
traditional , which means that the
teacher is no more in the center of the class but the students are.
To sum up I would
like to say the expression from Anker which was mentioned in the lecture : ‘’ A
good toy is 90% child and 10% toy’’ . A good pedagogical device is 90% learner
and 10 % device. I think this quote is a good way to make us underdstand how related are to each other technology and learning .
I couldn't agree more with you technology has a great impact on the learning experience and helps to engage the students. Very nice post 🙂
ReplyDeleteIt is true that technology helps students to interect with one another and to become critical thinkers. Enjoyed reading it. Good luck:)
ReplyDeleteYou have made a good point, because technology really prepares students for professional development. It is true that it develops their critical thinking, since they should think twice before posting something. :)
