In the chapter 4 it mainly talked about integrating technology into curriculum to enhance effectiveness of learning. It introduced 3 teaching notes for teachers: 1.) what to teacher 2.) How to teacher 3.) How to know what students have learned. Effective technology integration must happen across the lesson planning in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process. Particularly, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world facts.
The thousands of resources of the online world also provide each classroom with more interesting, diverse, and current learning materials. New technology tools for visualizing and modeling, especially in the sciences, offer students many ways to experiment and observe phenomenon and to view results that would help understanding. Those are just like Dr. Chen showed us different kinds of PowerPoint to illustrate science curriculum. And, when I did observation of a science class, I noticed that learning through projects while equipped with technology tools allows students to be intellectually challenged while providing them with a realistic facts. Through those kinds of curriculum, students could acquire and refine their analysis and problem-solving skills. So they work individually and in teams to find or product information they've found online. I think when most of students were engaged into technology tools based learning, students are more likely to stay engaged and on task, which would benefit for academic studying and behavior performance as well.
Technology also changes the way teachers teach, what I have talked in my last blog, offering educators effective ways to reach different types of learners and assess student understanding through multiple means. When technology is effectively integrated into different academic areas, teachers would facilitate their teaching step by step. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun.
Questions:
1.Do you think there are also some disadvantages of integrating tech into lesson planing?why?
2.What are your good suggestions to prevent these problems?
