Although summer was relaxing and lots of fun, it is time to jump back into school! Today was my first science and technology methods class with Dr. Smirnova. I was thrilled to see that my professor was not a typical college professor that had the students sit down and jump right into the curriculum. Instead, Dr. Smirnova took the time to learn about everyone in the class and made sure we understood what our target of the semester was. During class, we watched a video about how much technology impacts students today. The video was created to encourage educators to use technology in the classroom to elevate their students' abilities. I thought this video was interesting because it showed how often students use technology in their day to day lives. It is important for educators to incorporate technology however, educators need to be provided with the tools and information to effectively use technology in the classroom. Often times educators drift away from technology in the classroom because they are not properly trained in ways to make technology beneficial to students. With that being said, it is important to find the creative ways to find a use of technology since it is part of the students' daily lives. Throughout this semester, I hope to learn useful ways to bring technology to the classroom while making everything fun and enjoyable for the students.
