lost art of teaching

  1. Do you think technology can enhance learning? Why or why not?
I believe that under appropriate circumstances, technology can enhance learning in a fun and interesting way. Technology does not take away from the educator, but provide them with the tools they need in order to teach effectively. Understanding that the ever-changing world and its industrial science can be a positve addition to the class unit.

2. What are the factors that affect decisions on whether to use technology and how to use technology in the classroom?
 Whether or not technology is useful, informative, appropriate, and efficient are all factors that determine if technlogy should be advocated within the classroom. Technology can be used in several ways, just depending on how the teacher chooses to use it. For example: tests, quizzes, assignments, projects, and collaborative work.
