Overall, I would say that over the
course of this term my perception of educational technologies hasn’t really
changed. I still believe that the use of technology within a classroom
atmosphere should be limited. The use of technology shouldn’t dominate the
entire curriculum. In other words, I believe that a balance needs to be
implemented within the educational system. While it is good to use technology
in some instances, in others in might not have a positive outcome. I think
that
technology shouldn’t been the most important part of the classroom. There are
more important things for students to learn, instead of just staring at a
screen for most of the school day. Students still need to learn the social
skills that are so important over the course of their lifetime. I believe that
students will not learn these skills if they are forced to look at a screen.
However, I still think that technology should still be used as a tool within
the that can push learning even further. It can bring about new ideas and understanding
for the students. Technology is also another way for students to learn. Not
everybody learns in the same way, but technology can potentially help with this
problem.
In conclusion, this class has made
me realize that technology can be a good thing for a classroom if implemented
in the correct way. There hasn’t been much research done at this time that has
proven that the use of technology has a positive impact on the students that
use it. It will be very interesting to see if in the future technology will
still be this popular within the school system. Hopefully, somewhere along the
way the educational system will begin to use technology in moderation.
