Digital Post #B Chapter 2

     The first section I chose to discuss is barriers to technology use. Not every school has enough funding to fully implement technology into the teaching curriculum. The schools that have the tools necessary to provide technology are utilizing it and those that don't are not. I noticed a difference between the time I was in elementary school to now where my brother is in elementary school. My brother will come home and want to play a game he learned in school which most I the time I have never even heard of the game before. This just shows how technology is always changing.

      Second, I was excided to read methods for teaching with technology, your teaching philosophy. I personally feel that the student centered method best suits my personality. From a students perspective the teachers that allowed the students be involved in the classroom teaching were far more effective. When a student can reteach a lesson back to you with no problems, you the teacher feel a since of accomplishment and pride in the job you are doing.

 

 

 

     Third, identifying innovation and technological readiness As educators we need to identify were we stand on technology in order to find are weakness. If only we could recognize are misfortunes in order to change or work to improve them. It is very important to identify the capabilities of each student and to not underestimate them. As educators we need to challenge are students to there full potential without causing stress to them.
