I did research on several topics about teaching with technology and I was absolutely interested. I found many articles on student centered learning and this is what I am most interested in. These articles talked about the how the way that students today are learning, has vastly changed. Students are responding less and less to the usually classroom routine of lecture leaning. In today's society people of all ages are using technology to discover information. With the web and the technology to access the web being much more accessible learning styles have changed and teachers should embrace this change.
Classrooms should be set up to allow students to access and discover the information rather then sit and listen to lectures about the information. This new technology also provides educational activities for students to sharpen there skills while having fun. Classrooms and educators should create an environment that allows students to learn in the new ways without being an inconvience
Amanda, I agree. Classrooms need to see some changes! It is so hard for students of our generation, let alone of the digital generation, to sit in a desk for 7 hours a day and be talked to. Students now are hands on, active learners. As educators, we need to acknowledge that! The more we engage our students in active, student based learning, the more the students will retain.
