Lost Arts of Teaching

1. Do you think technology can enhance learning? Why or why not?
2. What are the factors that affect decisions on whether to use technology and how to use technology in the classroom?

I think that technology can enhance learning. I believe this because of everything that we have learned in this class. We have learned ways to incorporate technology in a way that will benefit students and help them learn. We have also learned ways to incorporate the teacher into technology with this things such as podcasts, interactive power points and what we just learned today with slidesharing! Technology is definitely beneficial in the classroom! While I do think that technology is important in the classroom, I think there are definitely factors that play a role in the classroom. If children are very young, then as a teacher you need to make sure that the technology is basic and that they can understand what they are doing. For more advanced students, the technology level in the classroom can be raised and be more interactive. Either way, technology is very important to the classroom and is very beneficial to all students!
