TPCK Article Response
While reading this article, it made me realize how important technology is for us in the twenty first century. It reminded me of my elementary school life when computer and technology was first introduced into my school. There would only be one teacher that knew how a computer worked and whenever our classroom would have an issue with the computer, she would be the only one that knew how to worked one, or work it well at least. This article really explains how tech-savy our education is becoming now, and how important it is to be able to use a computer and use it to make it bring the attention of students. I am currently working at a children developing/learning center called Enopi and we are even beginning to give students a chance to interact on the computer and get use to the functions of a computer, this article really shows us how important it is to handle a computer and what it can do for a classroom, especially for our society today.

Hi Angel<3 Your response totally triggered me to look back on my own elementary times...and you are 100% right about the whole comp. teacher thing. I think the computer class was the only room in the whole school building where there was any sort of REAL TECHNOLOGY.. NAMEAN?!! hehee:)
ReplyDeleteBecause we didn't use much technology ourselves in classrooms (when we were young), I'm frankly a bit anxious. The smartboard that we have in our classroom is the first time I've ever seen one! &it's so cool! But I prefer the good ol' chalkboard. I guess I just might have to pull myself away from it a bit...and think more about how technology really can be applied to individual subjects, contents, curriculum, etc. And I guess this is why we're here...in CSCI115 :D It was a pleasure writing this friend!
