A 21st century classroom
should definitely have new technology in them.
How much should they have? What types of technology should the 21st
century? What should a student in the 21st century want to have in
their classroom and why? It’s no
question that technology is prevalent in the world and therefore it only makes
sense to have it in education.
Teachers should have all the tools that
assist them for the better but not that so much that they become dependent on
it. It’s a tough call because there are
so many different technological advances that twenty years ago would have blown
your mind. Today the technology that we
would never have thought possible are things that most of us can’t live without
a cell phone, the internet, GPS in our cars, maps in our phones, tablets, etc.
thankfully there are incredible advancements in technology in education as
well. I think every classroom should be
equipped with the internet and at least 5 sources of the internet per a
classroom that way teachers can implement group activities at the least ideally
it would be nice to have a tablet or laptop for every student in the class
room. Smart boards are also a great tool for teachers and students to use
during lessons.
I think teachers should want everything they can
get for their classrooms. As long as the
technology doesn’t interfere with learning and educational values it should be
a tool teachers and students use. I
think both student and teachers could benefit form ipads as a classroom
resource. Ipads are a tool that can link
teachers to students all the time. Earlier this year in technology we learned
about flipped lessons. In these type of
lessons the teacher posts a short lesson online with them instructing it and it
can be used as a preparation for the lesson or it can be used as review for
misunderstandings and extra help. There
was discussion about when students miss class or are away for sporting events
and the best make up solution I saw was to have flipped lessons or video clips
of lessons and assignments. Ipads are a
great way to give teachers and students accessibility to each other outside of
the classroom.
