Introduction
Hello classmates!
My name is Katlyn Porter, and I am currently studying English literature at CSUN with you. I am very passionate about education because I know the importance of each individual students development. This is why I sought to get my degree to be able to encourage and inspire the next generations. Becoming a teacher comes with great responsibility.
In our journey towards becoming educators, the role of media and integrating technology in teaching is something we all have to consider. As future educators, it is vital to explore how significant technology can be in enhancing the learning experiences for students. Digital tools can open new doors, offering different ways to engage with material. It is important to introduce varying ways to help reach each student. All students absorb information differently no one student is the same.
This has definitely become a hot topic in the educators realm as there are often mixed reviews on how helpful tech can be in education. I think now more than ever we are beginning to see the negative impacts we have from technology. Educators often see that students tend to rely too heavily on technology. Without clear instruction or set goals it can lead to distraction and for most students disengagement. This is an obstacle that all educators will have to overcome and find healthy mediums for.
It is crucial that the effective use of technology in schools is monitored and well instructed. This will ensure a healthy and productive use of this new and ever evolving tool. If done properly technology can be used as an advantage, really enriching students growth and learning capacity rather than what is usually seen as overshadowing traditional education.
Thank you for reading, stay a while and leave a comment. Do you agree or disagree or is it not that simple? Does technology help or hinder the future generations of students?
Hi Katlyn. I completely agree with your thoughts on the importance of integrating technology in education. As future educators, it's crucial for us to consider how we can effectively use digital tools to enhance the learning experiences of our students. While there are mixed reviews on the impact of technology in education, I believe that if used properly, technology can be a powerful tool for enriching students' growth and learning capacity. I also agree with your point about the potential negative impacts of technology when not used effectively. It's true that students can become overly reliant on technology, leading to distraction and disengagement. As future teachers, it's our responsibility to find a healthy balance and set clear goals for the use of technology in the classroom. I believe that with careful monitoring and well-instructed use, technology can play a significant role in providing varied and engaging learning experiences for students. It's all about finding the right balance and ensuring that technology is used as an advantage rather than overshadowing traditional education.
