- Why should I be using technology in the first place?
- What can I do in my own teaching situation?
- What do my students already use technology for?
- How can I meet my students' needs?
Interesting questions to answer, indeed!
Luckily, I've already started using Learning Technologies, and let me tell you it makes a huge difference as students' motivation levels are high, and learning becomes alive thus making it more meaningful to them.
My kids use technology mainly to have fun, surf the net, social networks, etc. I must find the way to encourage them to use technology for academic purposes as well, and not so much for entertainment. With some of them, I'm succeeding, with some others, I have work to do.
No doubts my students need input to come in several ways, learning has to become alive and be meaningful, and once they are given the right tools, they become active participants of their learning process and this is the way in which they learn best. Not just being passive recipients of knwoledge, but being fully involved.
