Classrooms Changing due to Technology

TPACK 

1. Is this going to be difficult to implement these ideas with students who do not have technology at home?For example what is it going to look like in rural school districts and even inner city.
2. What would happen if you had a students who's parent does not allow them to use technology?
3. They talk about the training that teachers will need. My worry with this is how will this work in schools with lower funding?
4. What would this look like in a kindergarten or first grade classroom?
5. It talks about how we will be moving away from traditional teaching, how would this change our students way of thinking?

Net Generation 

1. What would the numbers be if we were to look at research from today?
*It is crazy to see that these teachers did not have much technology implemented in the classroom at all.

Teaching and Technology

1. Why would we want to take away jobs and not have jobs to replace them? Wouldn't this idea hurt our people and economy because they would not have money to support businesses?
2. Are we going to be taking away our individual styles of learning and teaching if we implement more technology? 
*It is so weird for me to see that their was a 56% increase in computer usage!

    Great post Brianna! You have some great questions. I love the technology but I feel kids need face to face interaction more. I feel like it will be difficult to implement technology when students do not have access to technology at home.

    With everyone leaning on technology, it is hard to say what will happen to students that do not have it at home or are not allowed to use it. I believe that in that case, teachers should try to supplement printed worksheets for the students. With so many new resources coming out, there are always workshops to go to to learn. I believe that will be the best way to try to keep up and learn new things.

    Great questions! I think it will be a work-in-progress to accommodate everyone's needs. It will need to be done and thought through with very careful decision making. I also wonder what will happen with schools that are under funded, if they just simply shut them down, that hundreds of kids going to a new school and also new ways of thinking and learning. It is difficult to know what will happen in the future because not everyone has equal access to technology.

    "How will this change our students way of thinking?" This is a question that not a lot of people will think of. It requires a deeper connection to teaching and learning to think of technology in this way. How will kids conduct experiments that were originally outdoor experiments? How will students think of nature when they only learn about it through technology? I feel these are all related into finding out how this changes students thinking and philosophies.

    I love your questions from TPACK, Brianna! --training for teachers, funding for schools, and technology use for students--are they the issues we face now in this pandemic?

3D Printers are Changing Classrooms

               As technology is evolving, it is evident that it is changing the way that classrooms are run. New technology is coming out and making learning experiences better and more interesting. One of the new forms of technology that is making its way into the classroom is 3D printers. 3D printers are making activities for hands-on and making it easier for some students to understand concepts. These printers can be used in just about in subjects in school. The projects that you can do with them are endless.             The reviews from teachers and students about 3D printers are great. A lot of teachers love that they can offer new ways of learning to their students. The students say that it is fun to learn and it is helping them love certain subjects like math. Through 3D printers the students are now able to make real diagrams of building and see images in 3D. I could see a great benefit in this when ...

Teaching using Google Classroom

     Google classroom is a different, yet a new type of classroom. Through google classroom students can  view assignments, turn assignments in, see due dates, take quizzes, and even find deadlines and  announcements. It has several benefits for all students, teachers, and parents.  During the pandemic this  has been an essential resource for many teachers. While using google classroom teachers can enhance the students learning by offering them multiple different ways of offering their assignments. It can be used in the classroom or from a distance. As a teacher I think that this could be used in many beneficial ways. To begin during distance learning, it helps teachers reach out to their students and give them the learning resources that they need to be successful learners. However, when we are in normal classrooms, I think that this is great because you can have this available for the students to access their homework assignments, grades, and importa...
