Transforming learning with unique, powerful teaching can really really ope up the mind of educator who are and that are becoming teachers. There goal is to create and opportunity for each of there students to think outside the box, when solving different problems using technology that's created for them to learn. The question is ''What is it that you can teach technology, that you cannot teach just as well without?'' (Page Wolf). Well, educators tend to follow three theories: Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism. Its basically how your students learn because there are different ways to process information in the brain.
this is not to say that students who are apart of each of theses different learning techniques are not normal but for educators to be able to brain storm and find a way, when teaching a lesson. To get the message across to every student. that way, no student feel left behind.Now they have something called teacher centered and student centered approaches. the difference is teacher centered or they call it transmission teachings a focus on energy of the class room flow teacher to student v.s student where they are actively part of all elements of a class from planning lesson, conducting actives etc.(Ch.3 p.51 line 1-3) A lot of this new technology makes it easy to communicate and collaborate within the class room.student are drawn to the digital environment. Computers are its on reliable source. it allow you to create things without being in the class room. technology is just basically to advance your skills and create new knowledge in a way that it could last.
I like how you focus your writing on how technology can help students - although there are many different ways a classroom environment and lesson can be set up, the technology enhancement can definitely help students by acknowledging their differences and providing depth in thinking. Even a blog helps students with the writing process and now with an authentic audience, comments can come from anyone making the feedback even more meaningful. :) As discussed, however, it is vital that you provide resources at the end of the post (always include the textbook at a minimum). As well, the photos/images need to be attributed as well as selected from Creative Commons or public domain. I look forward to seeing you improve on the future posts.
