Concepts to reflect upon
1)
Use of technology in the classroom. Technology is
all around us, and it has become a useful tool in learning. Technology is a
tool designed to help us solve problems and extend our capabilities. With the
use of technology I, as a teacher, would like my students to explore more and
learn more. Technology has already positively impacted the classroom and the
productivity of students. When technology integration in the classroom is
seamless and thoughtful, students not only become more engaged, they begin to
take more control over their own learning, too. I want to learn more on how to effectively se
technology in the classroom and lead my students to a better learning.
2)
Use technology to develop lessons and engage
students. Today’s teachers can use technology to plan their lessons; for it,
teachers found it to be more accurate, timely, and interesting. However, the
most interesting thing is that technology can also be a powerful tool to engage
students. I want to incorporate technology in my teaching because I believe
that it will help me to use my time more effectively, it is more accurate, and
to engage my students in learning in more exciting ways. Technology allows
students to explore more, gain more knowledge, and help them to be more
creative. I would look for ways to embrace technology in the classroom, and
engage the students in learning. I believe that as a teacher, I need to teach
student how to also use technology appropriately in an effective way.
3)
Highly interactive, inquiry-based learning. Highly
interactive means providing educational activities where the teachers and
students can create, shape, and evaluate the information that technology
presets. And inquiry-based means that the teachers prepare, deliver, and evaluate
lessons while the students learn critically and creatively. I want to learn
more about this concept, and how to effectively incorporate it in the classroom.
Technology is a great and helpful tool in today’s learning. Teachers
can incorporate new technology in their classrooms to increment the students’
interest in learning. I want to learn more about these three concepts, so I can
apply them in my teaching and lead the student to a better education.
