My name is Hosea Laney and I am a math teacher. There are so many new approaches to teaching students. Technology seems to be paving the way to a new day. Blackboards are things of the past as Promethean Boards and iPads are now shaping the way that students learn. Teachers must constantly receive more training in order to keep up with the newest trends for student learning. Is technology always the answer to getting the results teachers want?
This is a tech savvy generation of children and research shows that most children learn when they are interested and engaged. Technology interests children and sparks their curiosity. What new forms of technology do you use in your classroom to spark your children's interests? Is positive student achievement the result?
Hi Hosea,
ReplyDeleteI am pleased to say that our school system provides adequate training and provides time for teachers and staff to keep up with the fast changes in technology. I am also happy to say that I feel many teachers are taking advantage of the training.
I came into teaching with 30+ years of business and manufacturing. In class I use all technology available to me. I think the “spark” comes when I relate the class activities and lessons to real life situations that they will encounter when they are employed. Last week my router was finally replaced and I now have use of eighteen laptops! I think I get more out of the students when we use the technologies available to them.
