Technology has the ability to greatly increase learning in
the classroom. What most excites me about technology use in a classroom is the
new potential for increased
collaboration among students. Using google docs, students can be working on the
same subject matter on the same document all at the same time. The teacher can
also be involved. Also, communication between student and student, and student
and teacher, can be transformed by online forums and classroom websites.
A whole world of opportunities for visual aids opens up with
the internet and a big screen or a TV. Teachers can show videos or photos to
demonstrate new concepts or ideas.
I think technology in the classroom becomes a problem when
teachers or students use it statically or use it in a way that replaces spontaneity.
When technology dehumanizes a lesson is when it becomes a problem.
