Today’s subject is teaching with the technology. So, you
will read my opinions related to this subject on this post.
Before I reflect my
ideas, I want to talk about my learning journey with the computers, telephones,
smart boards, projections and other stuffs that educational technology offers
us. I was born into technology. Before I started the primary school, the
internet was avaliable at my home. Thus, it was inevitable for me to utilize the
all the technological sources I was able to reach at that time but I was
supposed to abstain from them and head towards to the sources which I had
better to find at the library. These are what I was expected to do according to
my teachers’ perspectives.
Now that it is my case, I think over and over to figure
out why my teachers treated me like this. It is probably because of the poverty
of the technology they were exposed to. They thought it was harmful and not
useful. But actually it really is when it does not used properly.
As a candidate
teachers of the future, we should not escape from the tech but embrace it. It
is stated that “educational technology involves applying ideas from various
sources to create the best learning environments possible for students.
Educational technologists also ask questions such as how a classroom might
change or adapt when a computer is integrated into the curriculum” (Hooper
& Rieber, 1995, p. 155).
If we teach the
students the way we used to be teached, there will be a problem. Because it is
a fact that the effects of the tech is not avoidable and we should learn to mix
it up with our teaching methods. When we do so, our educational environment
will be healtier, more efficient an even funnier.
