TEACHING WITH TECHNOLOGY

Hello, my followers! 😉😉This post is about teaching with technology.

Technology is constantly changing and developing. It is everywhere and sometimes we don’t realize it, because it is part of our daily lives. Also, technological improvements have affected education. 

Today technology is not a tool in the classroom because it is integrated into teaching, so it affects both learning and teaching. Moreover, it is transparent.  This means that teachers use blackboards, slides almost every day, but students don’t recognize them. Technology has become an indispensable part of teaching. In other words, teachers integrated technology into teaching.  Is integrating technology into teaching enough?

In my opinion, pedagogy has also a crucial role in teaching with technology. Not only integrating technology into teaching but also changing the pedagogy is important for teachers to create an effective learning environment, because we are living in the 21st century. Students need to get some skills to be successful in life and classrooms are the best places to acquire these skills. Therefore teachers need to use technology in the classroom.

Teaching with technology has many advantages. For instance, technology makes learning more enjoyable. Students don’t get bored during the lesson. Also, technology helps students to be more innovative, so students engage in the lesson and have an opportunity to learn more deeply. Furthermore, students may create technology and share with others on the internet or digital platforms. On the other hand, teaching with technology has some disadvantages. For example, students may lose interaction in the classroom and they may waste time on the internet.

I’m planning to integrate technology into my teaching because I think the benefits of technology outweigh the costs. Also, I believe that children are familiar with technology and they are eager to use it in the classroom. I want to create different kinds of plays, activities, tasks with using technology. 🙋🙋🙋

What do you think about integrating technology into teaching?
