Focus Question: How do new technologies create new opportunities from teaching and learning?
New technologies create new opportunities for teaching and learning in more ways than just one. They offer students many learning experiences by motivating and engaging those less interested individuals, by creating creative cooperative learning situations, allow students to access academic information, and to show their eyes all the places one my visit that cannot be seen without an electronic system.Tech Tool Link: Ultraportable Laptop Computers
Once I started college I received my first laptop computer. I could not imagine my college days without it. Being able to take notes, take tests, write up research papers while researching information, being able to start a project up in the library and then finishing it later at a Starbucks, all on the same machine without losing any data makes the laptop computer extremely convenient for the always busy college student and ultimately the perfect match for me. My ultraportable laptop has to have exceptional memory, enough processing speed, and be lightweight. The role it plays in my life is an important one. You can always find it in my backpack with files and documents pertaining to school work and or social life such as pictures, music, movies, etc.Summary & Connection:
Technology will always be improving and pushed to new extremes. The variety of technology displayed in this chapter and how one may use it in teaching comes with endless opportunities for creativity. There is a vast amount of learning that needs to be taken place in order to become a successful e-teacher and I am ready to do just that.
