| Teaching in the
technology age deals with more than just technology. It deals with how the students
think and interact with the various tools around them. I believe that all students
have the right to learn, and that we as teachers need to take measures to make sure that
all students are given their opportunity to learn. We need to use technology to
encourage and enlighten our students. Technology can be a stimulant for certain
students. It should be used to stimulate, but not overused for those who struggle
with technology. It can also be used to broaden the skills of students, allowing the
students to explore much more rapidly than before the technology was brought into the
classroom. Using technology, students can apply what is being taught to higher
levels of thinking and reasoning. Students need to be taught how to think at
higher levels, which will enable them to become better lifelong learners. |
