INTEGRATING 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) is 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.
Two weeks ago I had my students
write an essay around the theme “Celebrate what’s Around Us”,
after they done
writing their essay I then 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. During our PTC (Parents
Teacher Conference) I played the recording in front of the parents, principal, teachers and of course my
students. I was so happy with the positive feedback and comments from parents and teacher, also my
students were able to use the recording as to integrate music and their writing....
I'm not an expert in technology but I'm learning a lot from this class I hope that after this course I will
able to learn more.
