Welcome to the Digital Generation Edutopia
This short video does a great job with depicting how our students perceive a classroom when it is traditional taught with no technology. Our kids need to have these technological devices because they are around them every day. If we incorporate technology into our own classroom, we will have the ability to reach more learners. By doing this, the kids can meet people once they have learned the digital responsibility, can explore new ideas where they couldn’t before, and the kids will be actively engaged with in the lesson, and standards that are trying to be taught.
The video gives several examples of what and how teachers have already incorporated this technology into their own classroom. Teachers have the students make avatar people so the students can learn how the body moves and interacts with the other parts. Other teachers incorporate the use of cell phones, iPods, computers, and almost any imaginable type of technological device out there, just to keep the kids engaged, which in result has the kids learning the concepts.
After watching this video, I myself am going to try and incorporate more technology into my own classroom. I want to incorporate 1 piece of technological device or equipment. This will be my goal. I should be able to do this so I can say my kids are being taught through more (1) types of technological devices as well as most importantly reach more students.
