Reflection # 9

Technology has changed and influenced the world in general. As a future educator I believe technology is a great source for the delivery of instruction. Technology has exposed us to new things we have never thought could exist. It has opened the door to teachers as well as students. When we mention technology we refer to computers. Computers have really been a big aid to both teacher and students in the process of delivering instruction. This type of technology allows students to be exposed to the internet were they can collect, gather and retain information on anything they are researching. They are also able to communicate with other students around the world. For example, technology has influenced in the tellecolabrative lesson plan, were students are open to communicate with other students across the world via internet. Technology gives students the advantage of becoming a prepared individual in the real world we live in today which is revolved around technology.As a teacher, I believe technology is very useful especially with the organizing of student’s information and grades. Technology allows us teacher to work more effectively.Teachers need to make sure they give students the opportunity to take advantage of what technology has to offer in the educational world.Teachers should know what is better for the student by being open minded to new ideas and changes in a classroom dealing with technology. One way teacher can incorporate technology is to assigning students a group research project that involves them to gather and search information on a topic by using the computer. In conclusion, I personally think that technology has evolved into the next big thing in the instructional process. In my opinion, technology should be used on an everyday bases both in the classroom and at home. Technology is the future in which we are headed to. Therefore, we as future educator should keep in mind to apply technology in our daily curriculum in order to prepare and provide students with a better comprehension. Overall, I certainly will be applying technology in my classroom. Without applying technology students won’t gain the knowledge needed to prepare them for the future that awaits them.
