Double Journal Entry #3: Technology is how we learn!


Quote

“It will be a real waste if human beings do not explore beyond this technology path towards advancement and growth of the human race in general” (Al-Failkawei, 2005).

Response

Technology is important in learning and for keeping up with times in every day life. By using technology you can reach a broader audience. This article reinforces the different types of learners and how they learn. By incorporating technology into the classroom you could reach all three types of learners at once. To have an activity that children can see, listen to and physically respond to would grab all students’ attention and get all the students involved in learning. When students can make a connection in the classroom they are more interested in learning. Students are like sponges. Students want to learn, they absorb everything, sometimes even without realizing they are learning. To make learning more effective by using technology will only make it easier to connect with students and get them on board, whether it is just for one lesson or to kick off an entire project.


Connection
In relation to this article and quote I have choosen, I believe this diagram should hold the word TECHNOLOGY where the question mark is placed.
