This video, An Introduction to Technology Integration, was very insightful. I agreed with the notion that technology is an educational tool that should be utilized. It should be used to enhance activities and to make them more efficient. I agree that if an activity can be done without technology it should be done so, however if technology can be used to better it, then it should be used in that manner. With technology becoming so prominent in today's society, it is important to keep our students up to date and relevant so they are not lagging in the world.
The video also showed footage of students working on various projects and creating different pieces. Through this they were able to express their ideas, thoughts and even learning as the speaker said. They also went on to say how when you create you are taking ownership of your learning and by doing so you are better reaffirming that information and translating into your own processing and understanding. This helps with the learning process because you are interpreting it through your own learning lens.
Lastly, I felt the part of being globally connected was very important in today's world. With so many things taking place all over the world, it is important for students to be able to be connected to it and gain a well rounded perspective. I am planning on strongly utilizing technology in my classroom and finding ways to incorporate it in an effective way.

I agree that technology is an educational tool that should be used. However, I also think there are times where it is used sometimes too much.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, but that is applies for everything in our life.
DeleteGreat way of putting things, I agree with you when you say if technology is needed use it. If you could work with out it great especially with younger children, because now a days all children do is spend a lot of time online. Which isn't always a great thing, so that being said technology should only be used if really needed.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteHello Omar. I agree that technology is useful for certain purposes, but to rely on it totally can be a great disservice for children.
