Teachers’ Views on Technology in the Classroom

Culbreth Middle School
I think the ipod touch tool is one of the idea that is worth pursing at Mackenzie. Allowing students to use the ipod touch to do work will get some students to pay attention and get something done. But some will always go off doing something else. Just by giving them ipod you can get their attention and students that don’t like working by the traditional way will/may get their work done on the ipod touch. The teacher in the video talked about answering questions in the beginning of the class is a good idea to review. By doing this everyday it will get the students to review, learn and prepare for their next test or quiz. This will also benefit the teacher because after they submit their work the teacher is able to receive it right away. Teachers don’t have to worry about students not submitting their work and they’re able to request them to fix their work easily on their ipod touch. I think I will be one of the students who will benefit from it because I like to review in the beginning of the class to bring back memories from the previous class. From there when teacher teaches a lesson we are able to remember the previous lesson and continue learning the next lesson. This will benefit both the teacher and the students by making students feel more comfortable with what they learned and raise their mark. The teachers will also feel proud of their class and feel that they have accomplished something.We can buy these ipod touches with the money we earn from contests and fundraisings.

This idea is also connected with ipod touch, mobile device and computer. By making students look up information through their ipods and phones will allow students to easily access their work and make some students to actually do their work. Students that lack of organization will most likely lose their papers and assignments. By using technology, it will prevent it from happening and students can adventure new way of learning and studying. Some student’s are able to express themselves better by using technology. When it comes to projects and assignments; students will be able to get their work done and have good finished product. Allowing students to use these technology will also prepare students for the next generation technology and our generations are the generation that will be creating more new technologies. We should be familiarizing with technology for better technology in the future.
