How much do we really know?
It’s interesting to see how little many people know about the world and the plethora of technology that are available and being innovated each and every day.
I certainly don’t pretend to know it all and am constantly being amazed at what is available to us to use not only for personal use but in the area of teaching, training and education. To this purpose as a student at Curtin University studying the effects of Technology in the Classroom and how we can use current innovations in a classroom setting, I have already been exposed to many technologies I was previously unaware of or uneducated in.
I am certainly looking forward to continuing my journey on this course and finding out more and more about what technology has to offer educators and how we can use this vast tool to aid the learning of not only ourselves but our students. Active learning and Authentic education is so important these days and being able to incorporate technology into lessons is becoming more and more necessary in order to keep our lessons relevant to our students and interesting enough to hold their attention.
Which bring me back to the title. How much do we really know about technology and its uses in the classroom? What are we confident in? What don’t we know enough about? This course has already shown me that I don’t know as much as I sometimes would like to think I do. I guess we all can learn something new every day!
