Tech+Intergration

In today’s world computers and technology is everywhere, the world is ran by technology and it is not going away. If we have a question it can be answered in mere seconds by, Google. As teachers we need to teach students the proper way to use a computer, have them be able to decipher what is true and what is not. I will use technology to teach but how I will use it will depend on what grade I am teaching. If I am with younger students learning how to write I would use a smart board so they could accentuate the letter, use it to understand the difference between a ‘d’ and a ‘b’ by them touching a letter and scrolling it down on top of the other letter so they can see for themselves what the difference is. For older student like fifth graders learn how to research a topic for social studies and be able to look at another country in real time. Technology is growing are students should grow with it. The video that I watched was “Five Year Olds Pilot their own Project Learning.” I love this video because the students help create their theme, putting in their own ideas of what they want to learn. They used Smart Boards to find Brazil and then looked up all the information on the Internet. They used the Internet for every subject from enhancing their vocabulary to learning about bugs. Children always have questions and before they would just ask they teacher now with the click of a button they can read, look at pictures. The children are not the only ones learning but teachers are learning with them.
