I believe that sometimes technology can make learning easier and sometimes it can make learning harder. To me it just depends on the situation.
Technology is used for many things. Here at Edinboro I am taking an online math course, and I feel as if I have learned a lot more using the computer than what I did back in high school. But I would rather read a book without using technology, as in I would actually rather turn the pages in a real book rather than press a button on a kindle.
Some of the most helpful resources that I use almost everyday that makes learning easier are search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, MSN, Youtube, and Wikipedia are a few. Where as you wouldn't catch me running to the library to get out a book and look up the answer manually, it would take up too much of my time. So in that respect, technology makes things much quicker and a lot easier.
Not very thoughtful and way too terse. I would appreciate your thoughts. Please repost when completed.
ReplyDeleteBut how do you really feel? lol.
ReplyDeleteplease elaborate! There's so much opportunity to be had and so much to bring to the table here, explore your possibilities!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely needs to be more thought out. Explain some example situations maybe? I agree with your thinking...you just need to elaborate.
ReplyDeleteYou need to elaborate on how you truly feel about technology in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteI agree it can do both, but how do you see that it does this? through lack of teacher preparation? or through student issues?
