In the first lesson I get to know Edmodo which is very easy to use. We discussed the platforms and asked to choose a suitable one , I already doesn't know different kind of them so I have to open the net and read about different kind of platforms to choose one .I heard for the first time about the big website names Module.we also discuss that Schools must use technology that empowers teachers We also discuss that technologies only improve learning when a school makes professional development a priority. We need more than professional training in software. And from the readings I find that teachers must have a chance to see how these technologies can support different kinds of thinking, creation and expression. Teachers must insist on being part of the planning for technology integration, rather than merely the recipients of other people's ideas. They must work together to create exemplary, and then they must share their experiences with one another. Also throughout the articles I read students should teach the computer or use the technology to present what they know rather than memorizing what teachers and textbooks tell them. Technologies provide rich and flexible media for representing what students know and what they are learning.
I totally agree with you Mona, How ever the advantages of using technology in classrooms and its attributions in facilitating learning we shouldn't neglect the value of human interaction . learning through social interaction is important. Feedback from the teacher is vital, and working in groups is fundamental so we shouldn't replace it by virtual discussion but we should use technology as an effective tool for helping those who couldn't talk in class to join the discussion
I love what you said about students using the technology and teaching it to them. I can only admit that many of the tools I now use were originally introduced to me by my own students. Years ago, I started learning to use PowerPoint when one of my students used it in his presentation. I also learnt to use Prezi when I saw a student using it as well. This idea further accentuates the fact that teachers are no longer the fountains of knowledge. They just act as facilitators for learning.
Technology is a powerful tool in education. The responsible use of technology in education comes from the thoughtful and purposeful synthesis of technology with a learning theory. This article focuses on the constructivist learning theory of Multiple Intelligences. It explains each of the aspects of the theory and provides integration strategies and examples for synthesizing technology into this learning theory in the classroom The article has provided us a wealth of data into how individual learning styles can be applied to technology enhanced learning environments .The theory of multiple intelligences is a learning theory that easily helps merge learning styles and technology effectively. The theory follows the constructivist model of learning. It suggests that people possess several intelligences which learners use to process and interpret information. The article listed nineintelligences: linguistic, logical–mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily–kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic and a possible existentialist The challenge with applying most educational theories to the use of technology in the classroom. The theory of multiple intelligences in its design lends itself to the utilization of these technologies in the modern, changing environment of education. It offers learners the opportunity to construct meaning using technology through these intelligences .Thus they give the learner the ability to grab hold of key ideas and concepts they may not have understood before through a number of different paths. In any classroom that uses the multiple intelligences and technology integration effectively, the teacher’s instruction must then focus on student achievement so that the technology integration is effective. One of the best ways to meet these needs is to differentiate instruction. Each intelligence is broadly defined and allows flexibility when making adjustments to existing curriculum. Different instructional design strategies and techniques can be used to create the content. By integrating technology, teachers can more easily differentiate instruction to meet the needs of each student's learning style with suitable and systematic depth... Before the successful integration of technology and multiple intelligences can occur in the classroom teachers must know the technology. Once the teacher has the skills to understand and use a technology then the technology can be utilized effectively in instruction using the multiple intelligences learning theory.
The teacher plays an essential role in every student’s education, behavior and development. In the present competitive environment, it’s a tough task for a teacher to manage a classroom by concentrating on every student. Classroom management is the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite the disruptive behavior of students. Technology nowadays makes everything easy and effective. It helps teachers in managing their classroom very efficiently. By the different tasks I read and try in the several links we took will help teachers in education.
