Teaching, Technology and the 21st Century

We are in a day and age where at the press of a button we have access to unlimited resources. Each year is seems that children that understood technology become younger more advance.

We as teachers can grab hold of all technologies available to assist us in reaching more students, giving more effective lessons and by doing so we will enrich not only our own lives, but those of each student we teach.

We have to agree that by bring technology to our classrooms we give our students the opportunity to become independent, reaching answers and solution on their own. We are opening their minds to new ways of learning and new ways of grasping and overcoming complex language barriers.

We can open new worlds with each lesson, give more perspective, clearer pictures. Lesson never have to be uninterested nor need a student ever be bored again as we have all resources at the tip of our fingers.

For the younger learners doesn’t it make sense to use what they know to teach what they don’t know? A lesson presented with interaction and participation will definitely leave the student enticed and wanting more.

From iPhones and iPod to laptops and tablets we can only evolve in our teaching methods by incorporating them in our classrooms.

Yes we do have those opposed to technology, warning of cyborg teaching and miscommunications. All they need to understand and more importantly to remember is that we all are still human and each of us needs a pat on the back and nod of pride to keep us going.

I do not think that the teacher will be replaced completely by technology but I do think that we can take teaching and learning to a whole new dimension.
