As we grow up we see what technology works for us and what technology we tend to throw to the side. Such as videos that teachers will play to teach students, that have no real type of interaction what so ever with the student, and because so, the information is lost.
Technology such PowerPoint and outlines, I found, tend to be a better teaching aid. Maybe because the two stay organized and the information is split in a way that easier for the student to understand. The other, once again, give the student no real interaction with someone or something.
My similarities were that I believe that in order for students to truly learn the material, the best way of doing so is to use a hands-on way of learning because the students would actually feel as if their gaining the information directly from the teacher and their also able to ask questions.

I feel hands on is much better for the students, and technology is to be an aid and not a teacher. Great post
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your response. There are many times in a classroom where a teacher will use technology just for the sake of using it when it really has no benefit. I think it is likely for technologies that do not require student interaction or hands-on activity to cause students to lose focus and not grasp the information. Like you said in your post, in order for students to truly learn the information, technology must be more interactive and hands-on so they are submerged in the learning of the material.
