The Benefits of Technology in School in a Technological Society The Tennessean published Lisa Fingeroot’s article, “Nashville schools push for more technology,” in November of 2012. She discussed the benefits of technology that include, making learning fun with its inclusive methods, Fingeroot believes technology can improve the quality of education nationwide, and provides a very interactive and personal way for students to learn. She states that Kecia Ray, executive director of Metro schools’ learning technology department and president-elect of International Society for Technology in Education, has the goal of presenting a plan that provides technological access to more students. The first thing a reader notices to an article is the title.
In this article, Ferriter (2009) reveals many benefits from the use of technology in the classroom with our 21st-century learners. The resources and suggestions mentioned throughout this reading will assist teachers in ways to avoid problems and becoming engaging instructors by using technology in innovative ways. What I found was so innovative by this approach was by creating a network of innovative co-learners where collaboration takes place regularly, Ferriter (2009), is able to experiment with digital connections without ever meeting other teachers in person. Not only is this beneficial for students and teachers all over the world, but also simple. What I found was unique and useful was the worldwide collaboration that helps teachers explore skills and dispositions that assisted with the network cooperation by creating shared content.
The article “Prenatal depression and young low-income mothers’ perception of their children from pregnancy through early childhood” written by Helen Y. Lee, from Boston University and Sydney L. Hans, from University of Chicago in the journal Infant Behavior and Development addresses some points in the introduction. One main take-away being that depression in women during pregnancy is affecting a relatively high percent of expecting mothers. The other major point, is that no one has really explored the effect of prenatal depression and how it may impact the child later in life (Lee & Hans, 2015). One hypothesis that is looked at in this study is that prenatal depression may negatively shape the way an expecting mother may view their baby (Lee, et al. 2015). In this study, they used 248 young African American women who were under the age of 22, who also were not planning on moving from the area in which they lived and most of the mothers did receive Medicaid, at 94% (Lee, et al. 2015).
“21st Century Teachers should incorporate digital and social media to engage students” In the 21st century, children from three-years of age are increasingly using digital media facilitated by their parents. Digital information comes in different formats including through literature, video-streaming services such as YouTube, and collaboration through social media such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+. These can be incorporated into a learning environment that engages students (eg. http://bertylee.weebly.com). Primary-aged children are increasingly accustomed to tablets and other touch screen devices, and we see evidence of this daily.
This also shows how different perspectives shape the truth of reality. In” Nothing but the Truth” it says, “You may be right. But if the truth be known, Anita, teaching is exhausting. And what I say is this: if it takes a “fad” to pump energy back into the classroom, why, it’s worth it just for that! Sorry to have gone on so long about this.
This topic by Renee Wilson lifts the minds of a huge percentage of people who have read her essay and that of Gregory Levey. It is seen that when comparing both topics, there is a huge controversy. These two topics talk about their opinions on the changes noticed between two generations and its positive and negative outcomes and go ahead to state if they are for or against the impact of technology on students of this generation. These writers have once been teachers before and share diverse experiences. In Renee’s essay “In Defence of the iGeneration”, the title gives the reader a clear idea of what her essay entails.
This case study will assist stakeholders with making informed decisions on utilizing technology based resource within their curriculum. The XYZ district is a very small school system. Only 20% of teachers are currently trained and instructing with various technology tools, which are problems created by mistrust of technology or hesitation born from frustration or lack of confidence and adequate training and funding (Ruggiero & Mong, 2015).This study is essential because it can supply an example of teaching and learning with one-to-one computing and establish a comprehensive understanding of ways to maximize diverse technology tools within the curriculum. Although teachers within this school district have access to the Internet and online subscriptions, many teachers are not utilizing the potential of educational benefits that technology resources offer (Blau & Peled, 2012).
They say, “We are now watching the early expressions of those possibilities: podcasts and streaming videos in real time of professors’ lectures, online discussions among students scattered across the country, online interaction between students and professors, online exams, and tutorials augmented by computer-aided instruction software” (Murray 243). With all the positives of technology integrated into education there are even more negatives. Through video chatting, podcasts and much more the basic soft skills of a student are diminished. The more online sources of knowledge we find the more it is shared for all to see. The use of technology is supposed to help us become smarter, but in obtaining a degree it is only hurting students.
The first objective is the teachers will demonstrate the use of technology (Smart Boards) to support instructional strategies. The second objective is that teachers will be able to explore, identify, and integrate technology enhanced activities. The final objective is teachers will embrace technology to enhance their own personal and professional productivity, decision-making, and effectiveness. Different ideas will be demonstrated on ways the Smart Board can be utilized in the classroom. The Smart Board can be used for note taking, brainstorming, games and different forms of media (PLM, 2014).
(2016). Technology-enhanced learning and higher education. Oxford Review of Economic Policy, 32(4), 632-645 This article explores innovation that creates a changing environment in higher education. The disruptive nature of new technologies require a change to teaching practices.
Teacher is not taught to learn specific ICT tools, but he/she could understand and see real impacts of technologies for increasing children competences and especially motivation. Both kids and teachers are learning if they see and feel challenge in education. For both sides DOMINO is a tool for first shallow dives into learning immersion. Specific goals are then in increasing teacher competences to understand digital teaching, to see digital tools as support and not goals of teaching.

It is worth remembering at the outset that the introduction of educational technologies does not necessarily transform learning, and may simply replicate pre-existing learning practices in a new medium. Educational technologies can be used in ways that rigidly circumscribe students’ options, or in ways that lead to greater flexibility for students and encourage self-directed learning and student autonomy (Laurillard,
Change is occurring in society at a rapid speed. Change may be described as the adoption of an innovation (Carlopio 1998), where the ultimate goal is to improve outcomes through an alteration of practices. The above saying can truly be applied on the modern education system. The society in the twenty first century is increasingly diverse, globalized, and complex and media-saturated. In today’s world of technology, the olden education system with its teacher-centered approach, passive learning, time based, textbook driven, fragmented curriculum, low expectations from the learner does not seem to cater to the learning needs of twenty first century students.
