chapter 2

chapter 2 is talking about connecting the technology with the teaching. as we know, most of the teachers these days know how to use technology and also know how to teach, but using technology in teaching is the most difficult part. the chapter describes the use of computers in and out of school, and how both students and teachers could benefit from using the web.
     it also discussed that the longer classes that the teacher has, the more opportunity to use technology. which is good to engage the students to the lessons.
    Moreover, the students these days love the technology, so now the teachers are trying to connect technology with teaching to provide better lessons. this chapter is giving us different patters of technology to be used by teachers.

questions:
1\would the teacher like to have longer classes to be able to use technology?
2\would the teachers like to have the students working in groups instead of individually?
3\can the students do most of the work in class by doing some researches before class?

  I have never loved technology. I’ve always bought the smartest devices, but never used their smart features. I never been the expert in technology, so I’ve always took my laptop,iphone,ipod and ipad to the support center to fix them when I got a problem.
     Two years ago, when I was at home, I taught for a couple of months as an AT. What I have noticed at this time that the teacher never used technology with her students. At the first, the students didn’t like me teaching them because they used to their own teacher and they loved her. After a while, they asked me to be their own teacher for the whole year. It was because I used technology in the class as a strategy to make teaching more interesting. They liked the idea of connecting learning with something they already interested in.
My personal learning goals for this cause are:
1\ make learning more interesting for the students, so they will enjoy the class.
2\improve myself in using the technology because all of the new generation are using the technology in an obsessive way.
3\ to teach the students how to use the technology in a good way.
4\ most of the schools are giving online lectures, we as a children’s teachers need to teach the students how to benefit from the internet and the technology, so they won’t lose their grades when they go to the collage level.
