Reflection: Incorporating technology in schools means more to me than just demanding that students use a word processor to type their paper or the internet to research random topics. Technology in the classroom should be integrated in such a way that students will gain more knowledge from what is being presented to them. The goal is not just to take what you already do as a teacher, and add audio/visual effects to it. Actually, technology used effectively requires a different approach towards education. To learn from technology, is to learn because of an experience one has had as a creator. When students can take materials, which are individually meaningless, place them together, and create an expression which will display what they have learned. ||
