I found the video below on youtube and thought it would be interesting to share it with you guys.
The 10 reasons were interesting to know and gave some useful insights related to technology. Today many teachers are trying or learning a few technologies, so they can incorporate them in their teaching styles. According to the video, " Teachers will not be replaced by technology but teachers who don't use technology will be replaced by those who do". The concepts that teachers teach are the same as they always have been, but the delivery is supposed to change to make it better for students that's why it is important to use technology. For instance, students who started a class with a boring instructor because of the way the class material was delivered, would be likely to drop that class and choose another instructor who uses new technology to deliver the same material. Technology makes the delivery fun, faster and well organized for students.
Education has moved today from old school to new school because of technology for example:
- Note taking delivery has moved from black board, chalk board to white board, smart board or air liner.
- Test taking or progress monitoring has moved from oral exam, grade book, hand scoring to bubble sheet, web based grade maintenance system, computer scoring.
- Communication to parent from hand written letters, mimeograph, copy machine to email, cell phone, website
- And, Lesson delivery has also moved from lecture, repeated demonstration to web based casting video etc....
Students will be able to get huge advances with these technologies as long as they promote students education.Otherwise, students will be distracted in school which is totally unnecessary. Technology should not replace their efforts but should rather assist them in a way to pursue their education.
