TEACHING AND TECHNOLOGY

IAEME Publication, 2016

Technology is leading to Multi Modal teaching, changing curricula and spawning rich forms of online research and collaboration. Learning technologies can play a supporting role in learning and teaching activities. They provide opportunities to complement face-to-face teaching with 24/7 access to resources such as Virtual Learning Environments, enable students to participate in online learning communities; help combat plagiarism through the use of program’s such as Turnitin, and offer alternatives to face-to-face delivery through e-learning. Corporate Information and Computing Services (CiCS) offers support to guide technical challenges for both teacher students in using learning technologies. CiCS staff can help you maximise the use of tools such as My Online Learning Environment (MOLE) to develop your confidence in the virtual environment of discussion forum and chat rooms (LeTS 2015). At NYU’s top-ranked tax law programme, for instance, classroom courses are filmed with three cameras and a sound mixer. “The course goes online within 30 minutes,” says Delaney. “Within 24 hours, students interested in reviewing a certain case or topic can click an online index that charts the content of the entire class and [can] view the portion that interests them(1).” nline collaboration tools would make the greatest contribution in terms of improving educational quality over the next five years—the top response—to the dynamic delivery of content and software that supports individually paced learning. Sophisticated learning-management systems and enhanced video and presentation tools are among other innovations.

This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of the integration and impact of technology in educational settings. It examines various digital tools and methods used in teaching, evaluating their benefits and challenges. The focus is on how these technologies enhance active learning, creativity, and motivation, while also addressing potential downsides such as skill gaps among educators and the risk of misinformation. The abstract offers insights into effective practices for incorporating technology in education, stressing the importance of skilled, creative, and digitally literate teachers in modern classrooms.

I was inspired to write about the topic as someone who is interested in teaching. I notice both the benefits and disadvantages of using technology in the classroom for students and teachers. The benefits include a more diverse learning approach and more time for the teachers to help students. The limitations include teachers who feel that technology is taking over their teaching role and students who become distracted by the frequent use of technology.

This chapter aims to help preservice teachers consider the possibilities for embedding technology into teaching. After reading this chapter you should be able to: 1. Understand the role of technology in education. 2. Identify technological applications and resources used in classrooms today. 3. Be aware of how you might embed technology through a range of teaching and learning strategies. 4. Evaluate technological tools to support teaching and learning. 5. Understand possible challenges and barriers you may face as a new teacher using technology.

More and more studies show that technology integration in the curriculum improves students' learning processes and outcomes. Teachers who recognize computers as problem-solving tools change the way they teach.

Teaching with Technology, 2020

In the United States (U.S.), the conversation is shifting from whether technology should be used to how it can be used to “improve learning to ensure that all students have access to high-quality educational experiences” (Office of Educational Technology, 2017, p. 7). The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how teaching with technology enhances student learning, with specific attention to how technology supports the development of non-cognitive, or social emotional learning (SEL), competencies among both youth and adults.

This chapter focuses on three interrelated issues which form the basis for most debates concerning technology in education. The first issue is centered on digital technologies’ effect on teaching and learning. The second issue centers on how to make the most effective use of digital technologies in teaching and learning. The third big issue in educational technology debates focuses on teacher professional development, and how to best prepare teachers to teach with digital technologies. No matter whether or how you believe technologies affect thinking and learning, no matter what you think their most appropriate uses in schools are, no matter what (combination of) methods you believe will best prepare teachers to use technologies in their classrooms, it is clear that digital technologies can no longer be viewed as optional tools, available to only a small proportion of the world’s teachers and students. This chapter should help you to begin thinking about where you stand on these fundamental issues.

Paper, 2020

It has taken a while, but I think I have finally come up with a single, comprehensive and actionable statement of the role of technology in the classroom. This is crucial, because many educators/teachers are becoming confused and frustrated by the myriad approaches and ways of talking about technology’s role. Although much in twenty-first century primary/secondary education still needs to be figured out, such as creating a generally-agreed-upon twenty-first century curriculum, one goal is, I think, now clear – the pedagogy with which our kids should be taught. Although it can be stated in many ways, the basic direction is away from the “old” pedagogy of teachers “telling” (or talking, or lecturing, or being the “Sage on the Stage”) to the “new” pedagogy of kids teaching themselves with teacher’s guidance (a combination of “student-centered learning,” “problem-based learning,” “case-based learning,” and the teacher’s being the “Guide on the Side.”) Of course this pedagogy is not really new, except, at the moment, to many of our teachers. Every teacher and administrator is, currently, somewhere on a continuum between the old and the new paradigms. Our herculean task is to move all of them, around the world, to the new pedagogy as quickly as possible. With this view of our goal (while some may disagree, it is becoming generally and widely accepted) we can now proceed to define the role of technology:

Many of today's teachers are receiving training to perfect their technology skills. One place to begin technology integration during preservice education is at the instructional design level, focusing on student performance assessments and alignment of school curricula with state standards. The Teachers' Internet Use Guide emphasizes alignment of standards and lessons. The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards, with which the Use Guide is aligned, focus on authentic student performance. Technology also offers promise for student projects. Students can use technology to complete authentic projects. However, if they use the Internet to get information, teachers must be concerned about originality and plagiarism. An alternative involves combining student products and performances, to be assessed as a portfolio item. With feedback from teachers, students progressively revise and refine their own products. This teaches them to create and edit professional material. When ...
