Lesson 3: Understanding the Technology Learners

CONTENT

The new generation learners are said to be smarter and most often, they use the products of modern technology in their daily lives such as internet, cellphone and many more. There are positive sides of using technology as well as there are negative effects of it. Technology now is being enhanced even more so that it could become more useful to the community. In education, emerging technologies did a great help for students to have a better learning. The Knowledge of students become meaningful when they are able to relate with it and they can see examples so that they can construct their own meaning. It is said that students construct knowledge through variety of tools or instructional materials, experiences and resources.

EXPERIENCE

Learning is meaningful when we are able to have hands-on activities or projects. The knowledge would remain with us. Having projects such as photo editing or video editing and other projects that wold require the use of multimedia were effective.

REFLECTION

As future teachers, we should have the determination to know and understand our new generation learners or the technology learners. We must formulate or think of activities that would caught their interests. We must find strategies in our teaching styles for them to stay attentive during the class. There are many distractions to them that may cause for them not to listen to the discussion anymore. So we must do our best that they will be motivated to learn.

APPLICATION

It is a great challenge to us future teachers on how to be able to understand the technology learners. As much as possible, in the class, use strategies or methods that would involve the participation of the students and as an assessment tool, have performance based outputs or activities and product oriented assessment. In this way, we can cope up with them and we are helping them to use technology wisely and on educational purposes only.
