The Teacher that Society Needs

Education can be said as a social activity that allows people to stay there and grow. In a complex society, the function of education is undergoing specialized and institutionalized with formal education

In education: technology has change the way teacher teaches and how students learn. Technology has been proven to put teachers in a better position in monitoring and tracking their student’s progress and achievements. For example, the use of technology has made it possible for University of People to be in existence. Without technology we will not be here today discussing about its impact on

In the articles “What Is The Future Of Technology In Education?” by Matt Britland and “New Class(room) War: Teacher vs Technology” by Samuel G. Freedman, two different viewpoints are expressed toward technology integration education. The authors show the implications of technology on the attitudes of teachers and students. Britland and Freedman agree that technology and theoretical framework are two inseparable facets but propose different solutions to the actions that should be taken to result in pedagogical expertise.

Through surveys and interviews data related to various technology tools and ways of integrating technology in classrooms will be collected. The data will be validated by the intern through some classroom observations. The collected and observed data will then be analyzed and the summary will be presented to the staff during a faculty meeting. Staff will also be trained on what it means of integrating technology into every day teaching.

According to So and Kim (2009), teacher training and a support system with integrating technology in the instructional practice should be structured in a holistic way so that they can see the connection. Through assessment based on a full deliberation of interrelationships between content, pedagogy, and technology, teachers can anticipate constructive sound effects of technology integrated task through student academic performances.

With the right restrictions placed, technology is a good way to teach and learn in a classroom setting.Technology now more than ever is expected to be used in some way shape or form when it comes to learning in any particular subject. Because of this, it is hard to ban or use little of any technological objects that contain any internet access. The world seems to accept the use of technology anywhere more and more. This perspective change influences the way technology is used for any reason.

Technology has had and will continue to have, the ability to transform society and necessity to incorporate into education to, as Bruce, 1998 simply states it, “…learn technology, learn through technology, and learn from technology.” (p. 22) Teachers, not computer technologies themselves, need to take ownership of the responsibility ensuring students learn well with any given technology. Teachers and school leadership must be willing to use the available tools appropriately, integrate into the development of lesson plans and implement in the classroom for it to be successful to support the education of students. As technology advances forward at a relentless pace,

In our progressive society, we are all aware of the development of technology and the effect it has had on daily lives. People use technology as a way to communicate with each other, a form of entertainment, or as a tool to give them instant information at all times. Technology has a significant influence on many different parts of society. Concerning education, certain electronic devices such as computers, smart boards, and tablets assist the learning process for students. However, the issue of technology in education has evolved. Some claim that technology in the classroom has educational benefits, yet others believe this is simply a paradox and that technology creates problems in the classroom. This essay discusses how integrating new technologies in the classroom can be a detriment to the learning process, but also simultaneously can help with the academic achievement of young students.

The education system around the world has progressed and changed in a plentiful amount of ways, and the concept of knowledge and learning has changed in modern day. For example, certain schools around the globe are moving on to implementing technology in classrooms because it provides many benefits and statistical research that states how students are improving their academic readiness because of the instant access to information, a greater engagement and interactive process in learning, and the personalization that instructors can do towards the educational experience that students receive. The benefits of technology in class can be rather debatable, for there are people who think it's a distraction, but it certainly seems to be beneficial according to the increase of passing percentages in schools.

The incorporation of technology in education help educators design learning environments where the facilitators of learning, teachers or students, have the knowledge to choose technological tools, devices, or materials because they deliver development and learning, which are the most important results of education. Teachers use the implementation of technology in education to create interactive curricula and lesson plans, which make students the center of the curriculum or lesson plan. With the implementation technology and incorporation of 21st Century Framework for Teaching and Learning, all students become very engaged in lessons and academic activities because they feel a sense of responsibility and independence for their learning and really enjoy learning and being provided with life skills that they will need out in the world.

The goal of the paper is to synthesis my learning about how technology integrated into the classroom is beneficial to student learning, followed by an examination of benefits and detriments that are derived from effective integration of technology. Research suggests that technology used inappropriately have a significant effect in teaching and learning. Integrating technology into the classroom is an approach to develop better understanding of basic concepts provided it is applied appropriately. Research was done through reading current research material that was well supported by data found over the time since technology has become a prevalent field in education.

Technology is a very essential part of people lives in the world they live in today. Everything from businesses, schools, newspapers, etc, is transferring over to technology and its use. Integrating technology inside of schools is almost mandatory. It is really helpful in preparing students for when it’s time to go out into the real world. Schools use digital technology in many different ways to aid in teaching and learning. Teachers often use grade books, digital portfolios, learning games Technology will help students receive the knowledge and skills they need to survive in an updated, high complex economy. With technology changing constantly, the way of thinking needs to change just as much. Integrating technology into the classroom goes further than teaching basic computer knowledge and problem solving, there also needs to be advanced classes and up to date applications to keep up with and to help with overall knowledge. Effective integration must be placed into the curriculum to balance things out. There are four effective tips to help out. Active engagement, participant in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real world experts are the four ways.

Technology is an ever changing feature in education. In order for technology to be effective there are many things that need to coordinate together. I will discuss some the major topics of integrating technology into classrooms. I will also have some insight into how schools have changed over the years and what I see now in the classroom.

I believe that as a future teacher I should be aware of signs that my students exhibit. For example, in the reading it mentioned how a child who has experienced trauma may try to avoid situations. If they have an assignment, they may get up and sharpen their pencils or go look around the classroom. Knowing that children who experience trauma may exhibit these behaviors, I will not be so quick to get on to the student. It is easy to say that a child is not following directions and call their attention. However, some kids are experiencing difficult situations at home that they are not even sure how to process. Instead of telling them what they should not be doing, I would remind them of what they should be doing and encourage them to complete their task. Using kind words and gestures are necessary in the classroom and especially with the children who do not seem as self-confident. It is upsetting to know that with child trauma their perspective of themselves changes. They are not confident, which enables them to take risk and do challenging tasks. If I see one of my students having difficulty in trying to accomplish a task or try new things I will not automatically think he/she have had a traumatic experience. However, it will be something that I would make sure to do more close observation to verify my point. My biggest desire is for my students to feel like they belong and that I care for them, which is why I will always praise them for a job well done. I still like hearing

The role of the teacher in the 21st century education consists of the teacher demonstrating leadership among the staff and with the administration-bringing consensus and common, shared ownership of the school’s vision and purpose. It is important for the teacher to make the instructional content engaging, relevant, and meaningful to students’ lives; teach core content that includes critical thinking, problem solving, addition to information and communications technology (ICT) literacy; and facilitate instruction encouraging all students to use 21st century skills so they discover how to learn, innovate, collaborate, and communicate their ideas. In addition, teachers are to ensure the 21st century content (global awareness, civic literacy, financial literacy, and health awareness) is included in the core content areas; make certain subjects and related projects are integrated among disciplines and involving relationships with the home and community. Teacher are also to reflect about their practice by including assessments that are authentic and structured and demonstrate student understanding and demonstrate the value of lifelong learning as well as encourage their students to learn and grow. The evaluation process for teachers includes the following components:
