This article talks about how the student's and teacher's roles have changed.The students are now actively involved in learning and the teacher is no longer in the center of the room. She is now allowed to move around the classroom. It also discuss how technology can be good for students because it motivates them to want to do the work and boost their self- esteem. It increases peer work and allows for students to socialize doing the group activity. Along with many other things it increase the technical skills of children as young as elementary school and it has proven that they are now capable of handling more complex tasks. In my opinion all of these are well achieved and it has indeed improved our students in wanting to learn and come to school.
I think you are spot on when you talk about technology motivating the students. Since they can play on it at home and enjoy it, they will enjoy using it in the classroom too.
ReplyDeleteyeah I agree with you. It's good teachers can move around and get to see what all students are doing instead of just the front row.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a good thing that technology allows the teacher to move around the classroom. This not only keeps the classroom new, but also allows the teacher to cater to the needs of each individual student with one on one time. I agree technology is a motivator for students to learn. It is also very important for students to learn to use technology because it will very much be part of their every day lives.
ReplyDeleteI do think that technology will be as effective in classrooms as it does at the students home.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the article and everyone else. I believe that the students would enjoy it when they are learning when the teacher is not in the center of the room. Students should learn also learn how to get along with their peers in group activities. I think it is really cool how students can sharpen their technology skills in and out of the classrooms
