Reflection #3 continued...

I posted the reflection before reading the comment made on the previous blog. I will now add to the what, so what, and now what

WHAT: Along with what I have already said, it is a video describing technology in the world today. It talks about students and the amount of technology they use on a daily basis. It then goes on to discuss the importance for teachers to incorporate technology in the classroom so the students are engaged and learning.

SO WHAT: This is an important issue in the world today. Like I previously said, children nowadays are born into a world where technology is everywhere. They are used to the quickness and communication it allows. This then transfers to the way they want to learn.

The video also mentioned how little children are asked questions and how teachers are not doing enough to engage students and help them really learn. I believe because students are so used to technology and the amount of information is provides, they need this in the classroom as well.

NOW WHAT: Teachers need to do more to incorporate technology in the classroom. It is something that is not going away but will only improve with time. Therefore, we as teachers need to realize this and use this helpful information to benefit our students. It will help our students learn and helped us learn as well.

I feel lucky because I feel like I know technology pretty well. But, i know people older than me who struggle. But along the same lines, those younger than me will most likely know more than I do and leanr at a younger age. Because of this, I need to prepare myself to use it in my classroom to give my students the most out of their education.
