Integrate Technology in the Classroom
we integrate technology as a means of sharing information
and communicating with one another, and also offer opportunities to enhance my
student’s cognitive and social abilities. Integrating technology in my
classroom can expose my students to animals, objects, people, landscapes,
activities, and places that they cannot experience in person. It can also help
my students save, document, revisit, and share their real-life experiences
through images, stories, and sounds.
The SAMR (The Substitution Augmentation Modification
Redefinition Model) a
method of how
computer technology might impact teaching and learning. It also shows our development
with educational technology often follow as we progress through teaching and
learning with technology. Modification level is where technology is being used
more effectively not to do the same task using different tools but to redesign
new parts of the task and transform students learning. Last year I had my
students write an essay around the theme “Celebrate what’s Around Us”, after
they done writing their essay I have them read their essay in front of the
class while an audio recording of the essay is made along with the original
musical soundtrack. The whole purpose of the recording is to play in front of parents,
principal and of course the whole class during PTC (Parents Teachers
Association). While all my students are learning similar writing skills, the
reality of an authentic audience give each student has a personal stake in the
quality of the work. Computer technolog is necessary for my classroom to
function
