Entry 2: Technology to Enhance Instruction
When it comes to teachers giving instructions, some can be very boring and bland.
However, technology has and still is changing the way teachers give and present instruction with
in the classroom. With the help of technology tools, students are starting to enjoy or at least pay
attention to the instructions being given by the teacher. Teachers are learning how to use and
integrate tools into their lesson plans every day. Over the last few years, teachers have used
Smart boards, personal websites, and the internet to help them with instructions and lessons
Teachers and educators have tried to make their instructions interesting. Luckily, there is
the invention of the smart board. A challenge is to create appropriate conditions in both the
organization system and in the information system enhancing knowledge sharing among
employees, and promote organizational learning (2016). Educators created the smart board so
that teachers can improve instruction. Students and teachers can even write on the board with a
smart pen to pint out certain things or highlight something. I think the smart board would really
benefit in the core of mathematics. Students could work out problems on the board in front of the
whole class.
Website (100-150 words)
A new huge breakthrough is when people came up with software for teachers to create
their own websites. Teachers can put their specific class on their and students can access it
through the link. Teachers can put their due dates, assignments, and other papers that the students
will need to complete the course. The key to a well-adjusted, modern, society is an innovative
education system that uses new technologies (Aktas, pg 125). In this new day and age, students
need to be on top of their game with technology. The teacher can put the instructions on the
website and even add videos for the students to watch to get a better understanding of what they
need to do.
When the internet was created, there were countless door open for the education field.
The internet is an organic system with humans and machines in a never-ending dance of
interaction amplifying each others capabilities (Denning, pg. 29). Teachers can now create their
own websites, have the student do research and other things like help with assignment
instructions. The internet is changing every day along with technology. Teachers must teach
their students how to handle technology and navigate the web safely for them to survive in the
technological world today. Teachers can put their classroom instructions on a power point or on a
Prezi that way students can access the information no matter where they are if they have internet
available.
Technology has brought the classroom to life. The use of technology is a wonderful
benefit to teachers who are trying to advance students in their learning ability. Technology was
adopted to support students in their inquiry based learning processes by using online logs, group
wikis and quizzes and with sections of laboratory work (2016, pg. 115). Teachers can type up
their lessons and put what they expect from the students onto their own personal websites.
Technology can be used to teach an entire lesson or as a visual while the teacher is the one
teaching.
Even though technology is one of the most used things in the classroom for lessons, there
can be huge setbacks and other barriers that come with the use of technology. Issues may curb
the optimized benefit of weblogs as a teaching learning tool (Ayao, pg. 193). If the web log
cannot be loaded or if it cannot be accessible, teacher would have to think of an alternative other
than technology. With the use of technology comes along updates, computer scams, computer
glitches, and computer viruses. Teachers must be prepared for anything because technology is
not always dependable. If the school uses Wi-Fi, there are one hundred and one more problems
In classrooms, teachers will more than likely have both wireless and wired electronics
and technology in their classroom. The high-rise demand for wireless communication and its
customized services has experienced tremendous growth over the last decade (Sethi, pg. 13).
Some teachers allow their students to use their cell phones to access the internet or other
technological items for assignments. I pads are also another huge wireless item with in some
teachers classroom. However, Having the computers that plug into the wall are better secured to
the internet. IPads and cell phones rely on Wi-Fi or signal from a cell phone tower. If anything
were to happen to the Wi-Fi available, then the students would not be able to use their wireless
equipment.
Conclusion
Technology will probably never make its way out of classrooms now. It is the teachers
job to learn how to manage things like the smart board, their own websites, and the internet.
Teachers must be up to date on technology because they will need to know how to keep their
students safe from harm and show their students how to use technology efficiently in the
