The author intention in this article is definitely clear. She wants to show that teachers should reexamine their conception about of use of technology in their classroom. The author expresses her view about how teachers should self examines their computer knowledge. The author also advices how teachers should submitted themselves to a frequently training to improve their computer skills. This way they will be able to use technology with better understanding and better quality. The author also sites how teachers should create a technology environment in their classroom and promote students discussions and group work as part of the classroom strategy. The author also mentions how computers are a very productively tool for learners and it should be use in it full potential for: research, networking, collaboration, telecommunication, problem solving. I personally like all the resource links she mentions on the article, which will be very useful to me. I also agree with the author when she says that teachers should be more aggressive to obtain financial sponsors to improve the quantity and quality of the technology in their classroom. She also says that teachers should ask for parents’ involvement in this process.
Wikis
I love this assignment because it is one more tool and skill I learned in the Educ 422 class. This is another great tool that could be use for so many different purposes. Teachers can use Wikis for a classroom research. He or she could instruct the students to change or add research information, this way the all class can get involve in the same project. This strategy can improve students’ participation, collaboration, critical thinking, productivity, and problem solving. The only problem is that some people are more active than others, and it could give them chance to manipulate the project. As a teacher I would be a little more involve in the Wiki, this way I could guide the students’ discussions and make equally productive to all.
