Teaching with Technology

How hard we try we can not imagine a life without technology today. As i mentioned at the previous posts we have to use technology as a teaching aid.Technology should be used as a tool not as a teacher.According to Peachey,technology gives students access to almost infinite number of materials.A student can reach millions of encyclopaedias and sources of information via internet,s/he can test his knowledge through the exams he can find on the internet. Technology has lots of advantages if it is used properly under the control of the teacher. For example before and after classes the teacher inform the students about what to do through the blogs and students can follow the classroom content accordingly. Besides it strenghten the communication between students and the teacher and it makes students think critically. Actually if it is not properly and is not used under the control of the teacher it can be an obstacle. When i was a 15,first year of my high school, we were given tablet computers to use as an aid for the classes within the scope of the FATIH Project .Actually the tablets were the best ones of the time but the problem was that the teachers couldn’t use the tablets. They continue to teach us in the traditional way as they used to do.So the high quality tablets were abused by the students and all the expenses went to waste. What i am trying to say is that the technology will be a great tool for us but only if we know how to use it and only if we use it altogether  

As a prospective teacher i will use technology with my students and i will do my best to make them get the best of the time’s technology in the future.
