Learning Styles and Technology
We all know that our students come to us with varying learning styles and needs that need to be met. We cannot expect every student to gather and receive information the same way. Just like us as teachers, we all learn differently and therefore, need to be taught differently. Technology is a great teaching tool that allows us to reach more students because we are now meeting their learning styles. I have found in my own classroom that when I incorporate movement, music, and pictures in my lessons, my students become more involved in the learning and thus, more learning is taking place. Technology is already a very integral part of our students' lives so it only makes sense for our classrooms to embrace it as well.

It makes sense, but it's frustrating that it gets some leaders so long to figure that out!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree! I have found that technology has completely changed the way I teach and the kids are loving it! My students are more captivated when they are able to virtually experience a lesson taught. Moreover, they dive deeper into the content when they know they get to explore the net and create their own presentation about their findings.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you guys. I use i-pads and you tube videos in my class to make things more interesting for kids...Technology can be challenging, but once you figure it out(in a useful way) it's lot of fun:)
ReplyDeleteI completely agree that the more technology and types of media you add to your lessons the more the students will be likely to be involved in what they are learning. Many times this will spark up more interest in the subject and they will start asking more questions and then before you know it your conversation has taken a different direction than originally planned. It is okay that that happened because then you are starting to have a student driven lesson and can come up with a different lesson that the kiddos will enjoy more.
