MY FIRST BLOG POST


 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  .

  3. You 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. :)
