I am from Fairmont, West Virginia and I am a student at Fairmont State University in hopes to become a high school math teacher. Technology is continually broadening and upgrading to the next level. I believe that teachers should use technology in their classrooms in order to increase the chances of success for their students. In "Education Needs a Digital Upgrade" Virginia Heffernan writes, "we can't keep preparing students for a world that doesn't exist. We can't keep ignoring the formidable cognitive skills they're developing on their own. And above all, we must stop disparaging digital prowess." I believe that teachers should use technology in order to educate their students.
This video shows what a 21st century classroom looks like in math education.

I like this picture because it shows the teacher as well as the students using technology while they are learning.

Technology has particular value for math teachers! It can help student experiment with problem solving, visualize patterns and make stronger connections to how math is used in the real world! This is an exciting time for Math teachers!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the fact that technology is always upgrading and to use technology in classrooms will help with students success. It's an important way to make learning fun and interesting to them! It's also interesting to learn more about how high school teachers use technology compared to the ways to use it in elementary schools.
ReplyDeleteMake favorite part in your introduction is where you said, "I believe that teachers should use technology in their classrooms in order to increase the chances of success for their students."
