Technology is the application of scientific knowledge to practical problems. In the 21st century, humans have created and depended on modern technologies to do a lot of problem solving. To move forward with times, children should be exposed to the use of technology tools in the classrooms. Although it should not replace the traditional method of teaching in the classrooms, it serve as an additional tool for reinforcement of what has been taught to deepen children's understanding. Ideally, it should be a combination of the use of technologies and teacher's teaching pedagogy. Internet has countless useful resourecs and webpages for children to enhance their learning skills. Cameras and video camera have widely been used for documenting purposes. My favorite technology at present would be iPad. It is learning at my convenience-anytime and anywhere. Interactive board is my second favorite use of technology in class. However, even though these technologies provide the convenience,at the end of the day, a teacher's touch would still be the best. While these modern gadgets would not be able to give you reassurance and the personal touch, the teacher is always there for children's social/emotional aspect.
