Teaching With Technology Philosophy Statement
This post is another assignment of mine for my class. In this post, I will be deliberating my philosophy statement on teaching with technology.
Taken from here and edited by me.
What is teaching with technology? What is the educators’ role? Teaching with technology is a broad topic that involves differing media types and functions. Today it is widely used around the world. Educators’ role in this scenario is important. They plan and provide electronic content for learners and they create a positive environment for learning with technology to emerge effectively. Learners are active and educators guide to them.
How will you reach the diverse children in your classroom? How do you define your community of learners? In class, educators may encounter a various type of learners. It is important to analyze these learners and present them a technique which is appropriate for every learner. Today, everyone is more or less familiar with technology. Educators must be aware that their learners are involved in these technologies and integrated with them. Learners are aware of their learning process through technology.
What are your beliefs about how children learn? How will your beliefs affect your teaching? I believe that children learn better when they are having fun. I think it is better to use visuals, games, and videos for them rather than lecturing plainly. I also believe it is important to show explicitly and explain the subject to students. That’s why when I educate I would prefer to use technology in this way.
How do you balance the needs of the individual learner with the needs of the classroom community? What are your goals for students? Every technological learning activity must meet the needs of each student individually and as a whole class. As I stated before, educators can analyze each student and decide on how to use technology in their class for the lesson to be effective for everyone. Goals for students to achieve may include growing familiar with the needs of the outside world, being more prepared for every kind of assignment they are going to fulfill in school or workplace.
In conclusion, technology is everywhere now so it is inevitable to use it in the area of education. I believe it is a very effective method to teach and learn. What do you think about this? Would you prefer to listen to a plain lecture or a class spiced up with technology?
