PLE Week 7

What is the role of technology in creating dynamic experiences for your students?

Technology provides a way for the students to have a unique and fun learning experience that will help them to remember what they've learned and it relates to the modern way of life in which children use technology all the time.

What are some ways that technology might actually detract from student learning?

There are always pros and cons to any method you want to use in teaching. The common technologies used in classrooms such as movies aren't very interactive and provides the opportunity for children to "zone out."

What are three examples of effective technology use that you have used or experienced?

I've really enjoyed using computer games as a method for learning. I also really enjoyed doing crafts as part of my learning experience. (Using things like scissors and hole punchers is considered technology.) I also really enjoyed using the Smartboard in schools to help teach lessons.
