My Beliefs about Technology and Learning

I believe that technology is very important to learning in the classroom for any subject.  It keeps the mind active rather than just staring at the teacher and listen to them talk. Also, even though it is not much, they are being active.  More active than sitting in a chair taking notes.  These are two things that I believe are crucial to keeping a student interested in what they are learning.

Another thing that makes technology in the classroom important is the world's technology is rapidly getting more advanced.  Students need to stay up to date on this technology so when they grow up they can use it and keep improving it.

The only pitfall I can think of is if we use more technology, there will be less reading.  Students will always need to be strong readers so when we use more and more technology, we need to make sure that the students reading scores stay high.

Important to Me

Active Learning

One thing that is important to me in the classrooms that I believe need to change is the students need to be more active.  There is way too much just sitting in a chair and listening, especially in the middle and high school levels. It has been proven that active learning helps the students to learn better so why are teachers not using it?  Teachers need to learn how to adapt to what is best for the students instead of just doing what they are comfortable with.
