This article is about different ways of integrating technology into the classroom. The authors believe the first-step in implementing technological based teaching is to make sure educators are aware of the technology available to them. They believe this creates a grounded approach to the integration of technology in the lesson plans. The article then addresses that processes need to be followed in order to do this:
1. Choose learning goals.
2. Make pedagogical decisions.
3. Select activity types to combine.
4. Select assessment strategies.
5. Select tools/resources.
Do you agree that teaches should be aware of the technology before teaching the lessons?
Yes, I believe that it would be extremely beneficial for both students and the teacher that teachers are well aware of what they are doing before they try to teach it to students.
Why is it important to think about what activity types can be combined?
It’s important due to the limited time a teacher has to make sure students have a firm grasp on the material. If topics are integrated into different subject matter the students will not only have more time that specific criteria, the teacher can see that students are exposed to different subjects at the same time.
