I also think that technology in teaching is very important. Teachers also need to adapt to all the new technologies coming out. One main reason is because they need to be able to present those resources on to their class and incorporate them into their teaching style. I think students learn better with the use of many different materials, especially programs they can be interactive with. It is important for teachers to use it so that they are also well rounded individuals and can present information to their students in several different ways to increase the chance of learning it faster and for a longer period of time. It also makes it easier to do projects and submit assignments and things. Some great examples would be smart boards, D2L systems, Microsoft and power point.
I believe that all students have the ability to learn-
All students have the ability to learn. Sometimes it just depends on how you get the information across to them. I think using different strategies and types of lessons is very important. All children do not learn in the same way. I personally am better with hands on activities which is why I feel very strongly about using them. In my classroom, I will make sure to work with each student and make sure that they are keeping up with the rest of the class. If you make things interesting and add fun creative ideas into your lessons there is a better chance that students will come in ready to learn. If I just sit there and lecture them and there is no fun involved then I can’t expect the students to be excited about it and put forth the effort. I will always do whatever I can to help students increase their ability to learn. Some examples would be review games, group work, interactive lessons and field trips.
