Assigment #1

  
   I never really had any experience teaching with technology. As I was in High-School, the teachers taught us by using overhead projector. My senior year, I can tell there was an upgrade to the teaching with technology, they had a new overhead. It was like an ipad, you had to use a pencil-like utensil to draw or write on it.

  First of all it is necessary to pay specific attention that even nowadays many people afraid of the possible harmful effects of using new technology in the classroom. It seems that the same warnings have a place during the radio, television and cell phones inventions, but all of them greatly changed our world and have given people access to all kinds of information which can be realized into knowledge. Thus, the use of technology in the K-12 classrooms has become a contemporary necessity that all teachers should address in their preparations for lessons.



   Thus, taking everything into consideration it is necessary to state that new technologies are necessary part of teaching and learning, because they positively impact not only on student’s learning, but also on student’s development of new century skills. In conclusion, effective realization of educational technology is a first step to a prosperous future.
