Reflection 9 "What have you learned about the use of technology in the process of instructional delivery?"

What I have learned about the use of technology in the process of instructional delivery is that it is beneficial to both the teacher and students. Today, technology is used for just about everything, from banking to entertainment. It encompasses our everyday life because our society is changing and technology plays a major role in our society in order for our schools to operate properly. Computers have many programs which can be use everyday such as (Word!), PowerPoint, Excel etc. All these programs allow us to easily type our innermost thoughts feelings, and data, and it present it to others easily. The internet brought out a new way of communication. There is no such thing as writing letters or sending postcards anymore. Now, we can communicate live through chats, web cameras, and e-mail. With all of this new technology at our disposal, why not use it in the classroom? It is a lot more manageable, despite the objections from the older community. In a few lessons, it is easy to grasp how to use these programs and that is the reason why it is extremely important to introduce and use technology in the schools. If school doesn’t enforce these technologies in the classrooms, the students would not be able to use these technologies out in the real world because their lack of knowledge of technology would hinder their performance. I believe it is very important for parents to make sure there is a computer in the home setting because when it comes to children it is important for them to understand the essential of technology. Many theorists believe that it all begins in the classroom, so if society is using technology, the schools must go above and beyond to introduce something new to offer to technology. Now, many people can also obtain a degree participating in online classes become it is more convenient for them this is also a good thing, because that way, more people are able to take college courses without having to step out of their homes. Our world is very large, there are many different types of people living in this world and we should be able to connect with them and learn about them. When I have my classroom, I would like my students to to connect with others from different countries because it will open their eyes more by learning there more out there than just the United States which will lead then to have an open mind. Technology is great for instructional delivery and will present information with ease.
