Stuffing Technology!
April 11, 2008 | | Leave a Comment
I recently read an interesting article by Jamie McKenzie entitled Stuffing Technology into the Curriculum. It discusses how in recent years with technological development, many teachers have ’stuffed’ technology use into the curriculum, rather than using it effectively and naturally.
I found this a very interesting point, especially as i can see myself being a victim of doing this in the classroom. It would be easy for teachers to use technology just for the sake of it – for example getting children to do a powerpoint presentation instead of a poster. However, teachers need to consider the true value of using technology in the classroom and review the merits of using it over using more traditional methods.
I feel grateful that I have been exposed to so many wonderful programs through my e-learning class which i feel are all very valuable learning tools. I am excited to perhaps try some of these programs on prac and in my future teaching experiences.
