Role of Technology in Teaching and Learning

I believe that the role of technology in teaching and learning is to give students an opportunity with different kinds of technology. Some students will work more effectively using technology such as a computer instead of writing on a piece of paper. I believe that this generation of students has so much experience with technology that we have to incorporate that into our teaching. I think that when a student comes into our classroom it is our job to make accommodations for that student. We have the responsibility to help our students succeed in our classroom. Some students will use technology to succeed in our classroom while others will work more effectively using physical materials such as books, or worksheets. I believe that technology such as the “Smart Board” is such a great resource to use in our classroom to give the students other opportunities to use what we have just taught them.
