When does a teacher use technology?

Answer 1

Alot of modern classrooms are replacing classic white boards with "Smartboards". These smartboards are usually touch screen and are connected to a computer. This means that anything on the computer can be shown to an entire class relativley easily. Smartboards do require projectors and can be quite expensive, also environmental effects such as glare through windows can affect use.

Answer 2

As a student, It is becoming more and more important to integrate technology in to teaching. I can tell in my classes where teachers are just lecturing, students are falling asleep, but classes with technology are exciting!

Some ways that work are using the new pads that you can write on that then appear on the computer screen. My calculus teacher uses this by passing it around the class and having each of us do a step of a problem. It really gets everyone involved and makes sure they're paying attention.

Also, Power Points can be nice if done properly. Don't just put a bunch of words on a slide. make sure to keep only a few words per slide (just main points), but add humor in to the slides in order to grab students attention. (like a funny pic that somewhat relates to the subject)

Lastly, I hear that smart boards are really cool and work really well, but I haven't had the privileged of actually being able to use one.

Answer 3

Technology can never fully take the place of a teacher. Technology can do a lot, but it misses the human touch, like the full knowledge and experience that a teacher has. You can't always ask technology questions and get the answers you need.

Answer 4

they use it when they ain't got no other resource for a subject they can look it up

don't trust this answer they used "ain't" as if ot were grammatically correct.

Answer 5

Because it is far more easy if just to use an computer than to right everything up.
