Concept #1
Using Computers to better study habits.
Concept #2
Using Educational Video's to help students learn. I cannot stand taking History, but in order to learn about my upcoming essay on WW1 I am watching videos.
Using applications to enhance social learning. No matter where a child comes from all children has trouble feeling social outside their family. I think an app that they can use at any age to enhance their social skills and help them be more outgoing when it comes time for them to be in a classroom setting.
I
know when I become a teacher I will be able to really engage my students in
learning with technology. I know when I first become a teacher I will have to
find my own individual way of teaching, but I will learn as I use technology
for every aspect of me and my students success.
I
know that for some teachers thinking about letting their students use technology
in the classroom is unsettling. I believe that when they give the chance they
will see the success that it brings to their studies. I know that some teachers
want to have full control while still using the devices, but either way it will
bring improvement. In this area I have a true story, when I was a Junior in
high school I had a website building class. It was one of my favorite classes because
I got to use computers. I also remember when he connected his computer with the
rest of the classes to teach us something. The things that happened in that
class meant a lot to me. It was what I considered doing at first before
deciding to become a teacher.
In
the following picture the teacher is just keeping a close eye on his students
as they learn on their laptop computers.
I
know today there is a lot of websites that is used for teaching. In our book it
list applications for every subject. I am very happy from a future mom and teacher’s
point of view to know that there are websites for very early learning
development. I will be one to use these websites very frequently as a mom and
teacher.
In
the picture below is a chart to show the success that ABCmouse.com has.
The first connection that I will address is using a Computer;
rather it is a laptop or a desktop this technical device can be used to advance
a child’s knowledge by assigning those websites to help them in every subject.
Even for a child in Speech-Language Pathology a child could use a computer to
advance their reading which does better their speech. Laptop computers are
still being technically advanced; there will always be a reason for this device
in the classroom to advance students learning.
The next connection that gets used in education today is
Tablets. Tablets are miniature computers that use touch-screen controls and can
access the internet through mobile network companies. Tablets are one of the
best ways a child learns these days, they have them from that ages 2 years and
up. With all the different kinds of tablets out there every child could start Elementary
already knowing some things that is taught in that first year. Tablets are a
great invention, and a great way for children to discover the world around them
at the youngest ages possible. Just a short few decades ago we could not even
imagine using a technical device until almost a teenager; now toddlers are
using them. I am proud to become a teacher and use tablets as a resource for me
and my students.
The last connection is smart phones and their use in the
classrooms the way that a child can capture what he is taught and the way he
can learn things right away with a small phones that can act like a big
computer. Smart phones is an amazing way to solve the problem of children not
learning everything they are suppose to because they are afraid of asking a
question because of peers, or the teacher. Having the smart phone device close
to a child can learn what they do not understand, and even can help them
mentally understand what they was taught in school that day and be able to show
there parents when they arrive home. Instead of every child worst fear; the
question “So what did you learn in school today?”
