5 REASONS TO CONSIDER INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM
1. Active Participation
One of the main benefits of using technology in the classroom is that the traditional passive learning mood is broken.
Unlike the teacher-led classroom, students participate in gathering information from the Internet and making their own decisions deciding whether it is relevant or not.
Activity helps the student became engaged in the lesson and retain more information.
2. A Picture is Worth 1000 Words
If a picture is worth 1,000 words how much is a video worth?
Think back to when you were in school, walking into the classroom and seeing the film projector set up meant class 2s going to be much more interseting.
Showing how a cell divides vs. describing it with words is a night and day difference.
Rich media that are readily available on the Internet can help the student grasp more complex concepts quicker and easier then using the written word alone.
Recent studies have shown where technology is implemented correctly test scores rise, there is improved student attendance and increased student comprehension.
3. Speaking their Lenguage
Current students were born in to a world with Internet, somestimes we forget that they have been raised with social media, smart phones, ipods and computers being the norm.
The natural assumption is that information needs to be delivered in short succint image laden packages to assure they understand the data.
Students are very accustomed and comfortable with this types of presentation - and people learn better when they are comfortable with the delivery environment.
4. Real - Life Work Exprience
The technology in the classroom MUST be up to speed with what is in the real world, otherwise the students has the disadvantage.
In technology savvy classroom, a teacher acts as a facilitator who sets project goals for the students and provides them with the necessary resources and guidelines to reach those goals.
The students himself makes decisions with regards to the design choices, the information he wants to use and display, as well as the resources that he will use.
5. In Depth Knowledge
Jon stewart once commented, "The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom."
By using technology, abtaining information on all kinds of subjects has become very easy.
A students sitting in his classroom can learn how people in a small village in Africa live life by taking a virtual tour or seeing real life photos right now.
