The History of Technology in Education

Today's classrooms no longer resemble the classrooms that we may remember as children. Chalk has been replaced with a stylus pen. With a touch of the screen, you can change what color you want your stylus pen to write in on the board. Textbooks have been replaced with e-readers and parent-teacher conferences can be conducted via video conferencing. Technology serves different purposes within the classroom. Technology can be used as a research tool for class projects, and to enhance lessons. Technology can also be used as a communication device for students that have limited verbal abilities. This lesson will focus on the evolution of technology within the classroom - how we've moved from the chalkboard to personal devices.
My experience in this lesson is that, we are asked to draw our future classroom. Among the groups who presented, it was in this group that really caught my attention. It was so good and really funny yet so informative. I was able to witness my classmates wanted on how they picture out the future classroom.
            As a reflection, since there is already an evolution of technology in learning, I must use it properly and give the best that I can in delivering my lectures on my students in the future. Traditional way of teaching can still be use but we need to use the modern way of teaching where the teacher is no longer the center of attention or shall I say the teacher should only guide the students and won’t spoon feed them too much.
            In application to this, I will give my lectures in accordance to the trends today where the use of projector is being encourage to the teachers in order to deliver the lesson well in class. We are very blessed that our technology nowadays is already improving so, in order to inspire the students more, I will use the available resources to give a satisfying learnings to my students.
