Technology plays a vital role and It has an
enormous effect on all of the aspects of our daily life. Learning process is one of these aspects.
First: our students are so enthusiastic
about using the latest in technology, whether cell phones, computers, ….etc, so using their favorite devices in the
learning process motivates them to be engaged, Also Technology helps the teacher to attract the attention
of his students. For example I can use some websites which include some
learning games. Beside that
technology represents a vast source of information through internet, there are
some specific web-based applications that can be used as a teaching resource
which are not limited to one classroom or one lesson, but could span time and
distance, Moreover technology is a very effective tool for communication
between teacher - students or students - student and I tried this as a student through using
Edmodo or Blogger as it enables me to communicate in a friendly way that span
time and distance and I will try to use
Edmodo to communicate with my students as a trial.
However all of the advantages of using technology in learning
process I totally agree with that is faced by some challenges such as: Funding as technology
costs money, also teacher should be alert to
skills levels of students. Moreover , technology must be relevant and interactive to the syllabus
work and we should use it smartly not hard. Adding to all we should
understand the value of human interaction as 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 totally agree with you Noha that technology has become part of our lives and using it is a must. Funding is a major issue which needs to be solved by government or policymakers. a budget should be placed for the better use of our good cause.

ReplyDeleteI agree witt you that we shouldn't replace the discussions by virtual discussions as every thing in our life turned to be virtual. Human interaction is very important as it enhances the communication skills and delivers the peraon's point of view in a more accurate way. But as you say some students would feel more comfortable to do it virtual and that would help them participate and feel more confident.
