Philosophy of Teaching and Technology |
|
As schools integrate more technology into their classrooms, teachers have to know the correct way to integrate their technological resources into their lessons and projects so students gain a much more beneficial learning experience. In my opinion, technology such are smart-boards and computers should only be used as learning tools for students. As a learning tool, technology can be used to enhance a student’s learning experience whether the technology is used for organization purposes, research, or presentations. However, I do believe that technology can be harmful if teachers rely on it too much.
As a future teacher myself, I believe that educators should not rely too heavily on technology for a majority of the student’s learning experience in the classroom. Teachers should only allow students to use it as an extension of their learning; otherwise the students and the teachers themselves might become too dependent on the technology and will not be able to function without the use of a machine. While it is important for students to learn how to research certain things on the computer, or be introduced to new types of software so they can use it later in their lives, technology should not dominate their lessons.
