This article discusses the
role of technology in the classroom and how it impact traditional teaching. According to Tuttle a teacher has decided to
retire because of the district demand to integrate a math online program into
the curriculum. Making a transition into
technology is a difficult task for some individuals. An easy way to learn how to use multimedia tools
is to view videos and practice. Just go
to YouTube and type your topic in the search box. View more than one video. For example, on an assignment I was trying to
embed a picture from Flickr onto a Wiki page.
I followed the directions posted on BB, but the picture would not
embed. So, I went directly to YouTube
and viewed a video. Many people are
visual learners, sometimes text along is not enough information to accomplish a
task. My advice to this teacher is to
practice on a regular basis.
Another, teacher is also
frustrated about technology. The teacher
has to allow time for the students to practice drills online. The teacher should take this opportunity to
search for activities that would expand the content. It’s a different way to learn. I would prefer to practice online than write
out each drill assignment. This method
may increase test scores.
