How will I use Technology when I become a Teacher.
Today, Technology create more educational opportunities. It provides numerous tools that teachers can use in and out of the classroom to enhance student learning. We all can feel the benefits given to us. In some schools students had switched from books to tablets, which had made teaching much simpler and even more effective. Where students find it easy to learn with technology because computers are patient compared to humans.
As a future teacher, beside applying and knowing the characteristics of an effective teacher, it is also necessary for me to know what are the roles of technology for teaching and learning and for learners and learning, to be an effective teacher someday. As a teacher, I will use various presentation tools, for example is PowerPoint because using this kind of tool it is bring more energy and visual impact to my presentations and it is also captivate my learners with new transitions and improved animations. I will use the online projects and collaboration tools such as vlogs, google sites, blogs or I assign research work via email, where in they can express their feelings, apply what they learned in my class, and also this gives my student time to study on their own and have no fear of making mistakes during the process of learning. I use information visualization tools in order to clarify their thoughts through transforming words into pictures or videos. I will also use teaching online, when my students are struggling in there academics and even their personal problems, I will display a personal touch, they can approach me through different communication apps, for instance Facebook, Messenger, Skype, WhatsApp etc. and creating a closed chat only for my class or a special Twitter account will help me communicate with my students and ask them to give feedbacks about what is going on in the classroom. I also include some creative activities such as photo, video or animated presentations, interesting tasks, contests and so on, that will help my students to reflect their creativity and engage in the process. Technology help students to be more active in participating school activities.
Technology supports learners how to learn on their own, enhance their communicating skills and upgrades their higher-order-thinking skills. Technology facilitate and lighten my work as a teacher. Both I and my students have benefited from various educational technologies, I have learned how to integrate technology in my classrooms and my students are getting more interested in learning with technology.
