Written Anaylsis 4

One concept of formulas that I was able to connect with the technology integration within the educational system is the structure of the curriculum of a class and using that structure to achieve better learning results.  By introducing different teaching strategies, the students’ learning abilities can be enhanced resulting in higher and better scores.  Without using technology to its highest potential, research has found that technologically challenging jobs have declined.  The apparent reason is a result of a conventional education system.  Reports show that students achieve better grades when using technological instruments and software than those who did not.  Technology during instruction is just not about using the IPad or computer for assignments.  It is also about utilizing the mechanisms such as Facebook, Utube, and chat for communication and also the web or internet to find information for projects.  Using all of these tools and more, give the student greater access to knowledge.  Students are learning at school and at home.  As long as the student knows that these tools are just for the purpose of learning, they will use them to their highest potential.  Many schools today have incorporated many other types of technological tools such as the mobile phone and IPods into their lessons, such as the IPod in music class.  Other classes such as science and math are increasingly discovering more and more ways to use technology to their advantage.  For the future, I see a trend of technology that is rapidly increasing.  New innovations are steadily being introduced.  Technology today and in the future is shaping the lives of our children in hopes of creating challenging careers.
