Technology in the Classroom
What's my view on this? Well, firstly, it depends on how useful it is going to be to the learning process, enthusing the pupils, and delivering the material. Secondly, I wish to make a distinction between technology in the classroom and technology in education more generally. This may seem like splitting hairs, but bear with me, you will see it is not and there is a clear difference. Basically, my view comes down to this: technology is great, it is a useful tool that can be employed to create learning aids, resources for use either in lessons or for independent pupil learning and revision. This is technology in the classroom. Do I think it is a necessity, no! Of course, it should be part of the curriculum if possible. But the phrase technology in education for me implies it is indispensable across the board. But a teacher who loves their subject, makes it exciting, delivers it effectively to pupils, and engages them in a way that makes them want to learn, think differently, and feel that they are motivated and have made progress can achieve all that without PowerPoint and class iPads. These can be fun and useful, but we should not be slaves to a mindset that implies a lesson without technology is deficient. Make technology a tool that facilitates teaching and learning and there is no denying it can do so! I use it myself a good deal. However, a teacher who uses it less than another teacher should be seen in any sense as a lesser teacher. In my opinion, teachers should use technology how they wish to, not feel a compulsion to use it to prove themselves as teachers or demonstrate how 'modern' and 'with it' they are.
