Benefits of applying technology in my teaching

By: Joan D. Del Castillo





One of the major benefits of using technology in the classroom is the ability to
differentiate instruction to meet the needs of every student in every lesson. Just as every
student grows and develops at different rates, they learn in different ways and at different
speeds. Technology makes it possible to pace lessons appropriately for each students learning
level and can be used to promote learning in the multiple intelligences.
Verbal-Linguistic
These learners enjoy learning through speaking, writing, reading, and listening. In the
classroom setting these students shine when given tasks such as taking notes, researching,
listening, reading for information, and writing.
Logical-Mathematical
These learners love numbers, reasoning, and problem solving. These students enjoy
measuring, calculating, and organizing data. In the classroom students will shine when given
tasks such as collecting data, conducting experiments, solving problems, predicting, classifying,
and sequencing.
Visual-Spatial
These learners learn best visually and organize their thinking spatially. They are drawn to
information that is presented visually. These students love to illustrate projects, color-code,
and create visuals for projects.
Websites to encourage learning for Visual-Spatial students:
Bodily-Kinesthetic
These learners benefit from physical activity, hands-on tasks, and constructing things. These
students are able to express ideas through movement. They like to act, manipulate objects,
operate the mouse, take pictures, and be involved physically in a project.
Musical/Rhythmic
These learners learn best through auditory experiences. They enjoy making songs, rhythms,
and patterns. These students will appreciate displaying knowledge with audio and video
recorders.
Interpersonal
These learners enjoy interacting with other students. They enjoy discussions, cooperative
work, and social activities. These students will love web 2.0 tools that allow them to interact
with others on projects.
Intrapersonal
These learners learn best through meta-cognitive practices. They enjoy thinking about their
thinking and reflecting on learning. Allow these students to think about what they are learning
with reflective tools such as blogs and wikis that can be shared with others later.
Naturalist
These learners learn from interactions with the environment they enjoy field trips that involve
observation of the world around them. These students will enjoy activities that incorporate
nature.
The multiple intelligences can be met and enhanced through the use of technology. Many
technologies overlap and address several of the intelligences at once. With a little creativity
and planning, you can create rich lessons that will meet your students needs and let them
learn at their own pace and level.


Benefits of applying technology in my teaching

Technology is ubiquitous, touching almost every part of our lives, our communities, our homes. Yet
most schools lag far behind when it comes to integrating technology into classroom learning. Many are just
beginning to explore the true potential tech offers for teaching and learning. Properly used, technology will help
students acquire the skills they need to survive in a complex, highly technological knowledge-based economy.
ntegrating technology into classroom instruction means more than teaching basic computer skills and software
programs in a separate computer class. Effective tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways
that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key
components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and
connection to real-world experts. Effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is
routine and transparent and when technology supports curricular goals.
Many people believe that technology-enabled project learning is the ne plus ultra of classroom instruction.
Learning through projects while equipped with technology tools allows students to be intellectually challenged
while providing them with a realistic snapshot of what the modern office looks like. Through projects, students
acquire and refine their analysis and problem-solving skills as they work individually and in teams to find,
process, and synthesize information they've found online.
The myriad resources of the online world also provide each classroom with more interesting, diverse, and
current learning materials. The Web connects students to experts in the real world and provides numerous
opportunities for expressing understanding through images, sound, and text.
New tech tools for visualizing and modeling, especially in the sciences, offer students ways to experiment and
observe phenomenon and to view results in graphic ways that aid in understanding. And, as an added benefit,
with technology tools and a project-learning approach, students are more likely to stay engaged and on task,
reducing behavioral problems in the classroom.
Technology also changes the way teachers teach, offering educators effective ways to reach different types of
learners and assess student understanding through multiple means. It also enhances the relationship between
teacher and student. When technology is effectively integrated into subject areas, teachers grow into roles of
adviser, content expert, and coach. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun.
