Technology and Learning

Technology plays a big part of our learning in todays world. 

A) Here are the Top 3 Role of Technology in Teaching and Learning:

1.Support learners to learn on their own.

2.Technology enhances learner’s communication skills through social interaction.

3.Technology upgrades learners’ higher-order-thinking skills: critical thinking, problem solving and creativity

B) The Future Me and "The Technology"

When the time comes that I will become a teacher, I plan to maximize the use of technology by using applicable programs/application that would help me and my learners to interact well in expressing our thoughts, learnings and knowledge. I also would like to use program of specialization for simulation activities that I plan to conduct someday.  

C) The Influence of Technology in My Life (Before and Now)

Growing-up I started to use computer when I was still in grade 1. There is not much of a use back then, I am just playing solitaire and mineswiper during those times. 

But as I grow older there are a lot of improvements, from reading encyclopedia using the program "ENCARTA" to reading facts in google and watching videos for learning. Just WOW! I am so privilege to have an access to technology growing-up and even now, I am amaze of how computers and technology helps us simplified our work.

D) How to Utilize Technology as a Teacher

In any discipline, the only way we can utilize technology very well is to get to know it. Learn and grow from it. As a teacher someday, the best way that I can maximize the technology is to choose a program that suites my need and to get to know it very well through tutorials and exploration. Explore and learn. That's how we can maximize our technology usage.
