Teaching with New Technology
Reading, writing, and arithmetic these where the three thinks students were expected to learn in a classroom in the beginning of the 20th century. Now as we are making are way through the 21st century students are starting to use all of the three on one machine, the computer. The computer’s capability with the internet has made itself a big necessity in the world. So to keep up with everyone else we must teach the students about technology and its usage is the classroom.
Using the computer in the classroom helps the students in all sorts of ways. One of the ways it to get them more familiar with the programs it offers like word, excel, and power point. These programs are used daily in many jobs and computer skills are becoming more and more necessary in the job force. The students also get to experience other peoples opinions on different matters which let the students think outside of their own opinions. The biggest out of all the way is that it gives them a global perspective of the world instead of just what is going on in our country.
The students are not shown to be the issue of this matter with technology though but it is the teachers. Karel Fisch tells us in his blog
