When we first created our teaching philosophy, including technology was
not even a thought in my mind. After being introduced to many types of
technology in our CS322-ILC I believe that technology could enhance both the
students focus and comprehension of a topic. Some types of technology that we
all knew prior to the class are computers, smart boards, tape recorders.
However, much to our surprise there are so many ways technology could be used
in our classroom. Some technologies that I believe that I could implement into
my classroom are smartboards, blogs, podcasts, wikis and online grade book.
Along with that we learned about Prezi, which is a more detailed way of
creating a presentation, instead of using power point.
Some possvle ways to use them are:
Smart boards: many teachers use smartboards as just a projection screen.
Some either forget or are just uneducated on how to use the technology. This
technology can be used to have students interactively come up on the board and
physically touch and place items. This is good for kinesthetic learners.
Blogs: This is good piece of technology to have kids show their
comprehension for a topic. This is also good for long term use, to track a
students progression of the school year. The blog could also be a way for all
the students to communicate with the teacher and vice versa.
Podcast: This piece of technology could be used as a study tool for students. This way instead of the students reading or writing their notes, they have a recording they could listen to.
Online grade book: This is good for the teacher, students and the
parents. This is a great way to have the teacher organize grades and have the
children and the parents be involved and updated in the grading policy and
upcoming assignments.
