IMPORTANCE
OF THE COURSE TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING
The course Technology for Teaching
and Learning is very important because we are now in a digital world where
technology is everywhere. As a student and as a teacher, this course will help
us to be ready and to know how to use technology in education. The teachers will educate their students with the use of technology tools (Digital
and Non-Digital).
💗 Students
demand it.
Students are engaging
with technology constantly outside of the classroom. Kids like to be
interactive, and learning through technology has now become a part of their
lifestyle.
💗 New
teachers are demanding it.
The technology
movement has been implemented in post-secondary education as well as other
professional jobs. For new teachers, technology is considered a necessity for
the learning environment.
💗 Kids
are the digital native.
Kids know technology
better than most adults. It has become the easiest way they learn, because it
is such an integral part of their life. Engaging with technology in the
classroom has not only helped them learn better, but they also acquire
multi-tasking skills. At this day in age, they hardly know how to learn without
it. This knowledge is important, because they would be way behind in the real
world without it.
💗 Kids
can learn at their own pace.
We know from years of
experience that kids learn at their own pace, but sometimes the traditional
classroom makes it difficult to do so. With the integration of technology in
education, children have the ability to slow down and go back over lessons and
concepts, and more advanced kids can go ahead. It also frees up the teacher to
help kids on a more one-on-one level.
💗 With
technology, there are no limitations.
Having access to other
information outside of the book gives students many different ways to learn a
concept. Teachers can come up with creative ways to teach their students that
keeps them engaged. Technology has changed the learning environment so that
learning is more hands-on. Schools throughout the nation are diverse in income,
and often kids don’t always get the resources they need. The implementation of
technology in schools helps close that gap.
💗 Technology
has the ability to enhance relationships between teachers and students.
When teachers
effectively integrate technology into subject areas, teachers grow into roles
of adviser, content expert, and coach. Technology helps make teaching and
learning more meaningful and fun. Students are also able to collaborate with
their own classmates through technological applications.
💗 Testing
has gone online
One protocol that
schools don’t have control over, but must adapt to, is online testing. Testing
online is the way of the future, but it has a lot of advantages. Assessing
students’ performance can be done instantly with technology. Beyond seeing test
scores in real-time, teachers can better track and understand students’ grasp
of the subject.
💗 Multitude
of resources
Computers, tablets,
and other forms of technology bring multiple resources for the teacher that’s
not in the book. They not only keep students engaged with exciting new features
and apps, but also have other ways to teach students material. Every kid learns
differently, and technology helps with this gap as well.
💗 Technology
keeps kids engaged.
The students of this
generation are considered technological learners. They learn best being more
interactive, and technology is what helps them do that. Children often struggle
to stay on task or interested, and with resources to help the teacher, they can
better stay focused and learn faster.
💗 Technology
is necessary to succeed outside of primary and secondary education
Whether we like it or
not, technology is an essential concept to learn. Because it changes so
quickly, children are better off learning about it sooner. It is a primary part
of every industry, and there is no way around it. These days, technology means
more than just learning basic computing skills. Technology has made itself part
of every aspect of our lives today, and the students who understand it are the
ones who succeed in the business world.
