I do agree with the trends listed in the report because
technology is becoming more useful in schools. These days it is nearly
impossible for people to complete assignments and projects without the internet
being available to them. Also, teachers use technology as visual aids for
students, allowing them to a chance to actively participate in class activities
as well. While I was in grades k-12, technology was used as each of the key
terms described. For instance, in high school, my Calculus teacher used Facebook
to answer our questions about homework she had given.
These new technology trends influence personal learning by making
learning more interactive. Students are now to participate in active learning
along with their classmates while learning is still personalized.
I agree with the challenges in technology. A lot of people
view technology as a distraction in- and out-side of schools. With this in mind,
how can things ever get better for technology in education? Technology cannot
be innovated and permitted into schools if people do not believe the
transformation and help it can provide for students. We could use more digital
media for formative assessment for the students
I am interested in mobile learning the most because most
students own mobile devices that they bring to school and everywhere else they
go as well. Why not uses these devices to teach students so that they may learn
“on-the-go”?
In theory I agree that technology could be very beneficial and that students would be exposed to new learning techniques, but I fear that only a small percentage of students would take the initiative to do those things and actively have the full effect of technology-based learning. I feel like most students would be too distracted by the use of mobile-technology especially and would fall behind in the learning process.
