DESCRIPTION
My subject area of interest would be education, specifically second through fourth
grade. Within our education systems,there's a lot of improvements that must be made
technology-wise. As a future educator, you want to be able to learn about technology
and use it in your classroom. I believe that since our society is evolving and new
technology is being presented to the world and we need to learn to adapt and learn to
use it correctly and beneficially. I would want my future students to be able to use these
technologies in my classroom and benefit greatly from them and be able to explore.
Many schools have adapted STEAM programs which stands for Science,
Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. These schools sometimes have issues
adapting the technology part. It may be because of funding but also because many
Teachers haven’t used much technology in their classrooms. As the years go by our
World’s technology increases more and more. The younger and future generations will
Easily learn to adapt to this since that’s how their world growing up would be, for those
Born earlier it’s our job to begin to learn and adapt.
1. How do you think this technology will (or will not) change the
way people learn within your subject area?
I believe that this technology will change the way people in my subject area.
It will give them the chance of having more hands on with technology while learning
through play which is huge for younger children. Since sphero is easily programmable
including it in some lesson plans would excite the kids to actually want to participate
and learn.
What I discovered about Oculus Rift was how it can help experience different
environments. It gives people chances to visit different places while staying in the room.
I found it fascinating that there’s technology out there that gives you that full experience
without having to leave your place of comfort. Not only are you using your eyesight
but as well as listening and being able to use the hand controllers to interact.
1. How do you think this technology will (or will not) change the
way people learn within your subject area?
I think this technology will change the way people learn. For example if
they are learning about the rainforest and use the Oculus Rift to “visit” and see it
“in person.” Many students would benefit from this. A teacher could use this to her
advance to teach students about certain topics they may be going over. Last year
the club I was in fundraised to buy three ipods for an elementary along with VR
goggles for students to experiment with. It was a great experience for the kids and
everyone who was a part of this project.
1. How do you think this technology will (or will not) change the
way people learn within your subject area?
I believe that this technology will change the way people in my subject
area by learning through observing the machine doing it’s job. Having class
discussions on how the students believe it works, learning the different
elements a 3D Printer has. Using it to create material we may need to use
or observe during a lesson.
RESEARCH CONCLUSIONS
Replace this text with 2-3 paragraphs of a summary of your findings
and what you think the future of these technologies holds for
changing (for good or bad) the way we interact with technology to
learn in the subject area you identified.
