Digital Blog Post #A- Chapter 1




It is clear to see technology reinforces education. The tool I found to be the most engaging to students is education learning games. To find an app game that relates to the content you are teaching is and enhancement for learning. A surprising fact is how most students have the knowledge to use these devices at a very young age. A benefit to the school, is many kids own a device and may bring it to school. An advantage to using these devices is also how teachers can set settings to assure students stay within the content.
Another great tool to use in the classroom is digital media. There are endless amounts of information for any subject. This activity can be used visually teach the entire class. Students can expand their horizons to different diversities and cultures. With a little imagination, it can take the class out of the classroom, without ever leaving. The classroom can also create their own digital media to share ideas, experiences, and love for learning.
A great learning tool, I have seen used is the Interactive Whiteboards. I have seen this tool gives students the ability take learning into their own hands. It gives students a sense of being in charge. The biggest advantage is giving the students the confidence to stand up front and help teach the class. Students really enjoy it and it is a privilege for them to use. For the younger students, it also serves as a good motor skill exercise. Many games require good listening skills for directions and step by step process.
I am delighted to teach the new iGeneration. The many advancements to technology makes for a better teaching and learning environment. There are so many different resources available to attract all levels and subjects.
