How does technology improve teaching and learning in your school?
After reflecting on my journey thus far as an educator, I can clearly observe that technology enhances education as a whole. Technology can allow teachers to make learning more fun and enjoyable for the students though cool technology tools. Technology improves communication, which is an essential part of education. It also allows us to stay connected with our students and their families. It can also give teachers the opportunities to empower our students by allowing them the tools they need to create and innovate. What are some areas in which this could be improved? I think our school district could do a better job of collaborating and communicating opportunities to utilize this technology in our classroom. Unless you go out and do the research on your own, often times you might get left in the dark. With so much awesome technology out there, its obvious that something could be utilized in your classroom which could enhance the learning in your classroom. How do you go about making decisions about what technology to use in your classroom or school? Typically, I will first evaluate what I have already in place and see if replacing it with new technology would be meaningful or am I just trying to keep up with the trends. If I determine that new technology could better serve my students, then I will begin to experiment with it myself, watch videos or tutorials from other educators, and ask other colleagues/PLN's if they have heard or used this technology. Next, I decide how/when to implement it into my classroom. Lastly, I will evaluate how it went to determine if it was effective enough to continue it in the years to come or if I should find another option.
