The document discusses how technology benefits students in the classroom in several ways. It offers helpful resources for all grades and subjects, and provides students with essential resources like illustrations, sound, video, and simulations. Technology can also simplify instruction for students, provide differentiated instruction, and explain topics in different ways. When used for global news and video conferencing with other schools, technology can make learning more interesting and help students understand other cultures. While planning technology takes time, it can make instruction more engaging for students.
1. Technology In The Classroom
As a teacher Iâve seen how technology
in the classroom is a benefit for my
students.
2. ïŹ When
using technology to facilitate K-12
instruction, teachers have to take into
consideration whether students are
learning concepts successfully with the use
of technology rather than with only
traditional instruction.
6. ïŹ
Technology can provide
students with other types
of instruction rather than
teacher-led instruction.
Technology can simplify a
topic for a student by
explaining it differently.
8. ïŹ Unfortunately,
most students are not
interested in global news; however, using
technology can make news interesting for
students. The Internet permits free video
conferencing which permits interaction in
real time with sister schools in other
countries.
9. ïŹ From
an educational viewpoint, what could
be more important than understanding other
cultures through direct dialog and
collaboration?
10. ïŹ Planning
and integrating technology in a
classroom takes time; but not including
technology in the lesson plans can make
the instruction less interesting or
motivating to the students.
