Technology in Education:



 

Nowadays the technology become the focus of many people around the world. The use it even for entertaining and also they sue it for learning through the using of some of these technologies devices. So, I can say that using technology in education can influence this education , but how??

From my own experiences the use of technology in education increase my ability to learn , attract me to learn more and also it is very entertaining and not feel bored when I use if I compare it with other traditional ways.
The technology  become a part of children’s daily lives. As result , as early childhood future teacher I thinking to use the technology with the children because as I said that technology become their focus even if they use it in good or bad ways  so as a teacher I can correct their ways of using it by use it in the teaching and teach them how can we benefit from it because children they think that their using for (e.g.Ipad) is just for playing and no other benefits. In addition , using technology with children can enhance their academic achievement by using appropriate technologies that children like.
Although I have some difficulties at the first time in using the technology , but now it becomes my favorite way for learning and for the future teaching.
 
How Can Technology Benefit Our Students
 
. Brain research shows that if students are engaged, they learn more. If we're able to connect them to real life situations, they're much more interested...what a powerful motivation technology is and what a broad range of skills- scientific analysis, communication skills, problem-solving- are involved." (Salpeter, 1999). 
 
 

   


 one of the technology way that can be used in education is Movie Maker



               

  Movie Maker
 
 

Is the video editing program that is included with Windows XP

Windows Movie Maker allows you to quickly build a personalized movie that incorporates video, still images, background music, and narration. Movie Maker is the only one tool that I know before taking this course, so it is not a new tool for me I was learned this tool when I was in school. I learned it not by the teacher but I notice that most of the girls were using this tool for their presentations that encourages me to use this tool too. The things that encourage me to use this tool is because it is available free and it is also easy to learn. Movie Maker is also a new tool instead of using PowerPoint because when I was in the school the teacher gives higher marks for the students who use this tool  other than the girls who use the PowerPoint because she thought that we were creating new tool instead of always using the PowerPoint which become boring that days. On other words I think from my own experiences it is very easy to learn and very easy to use. In addition , if I will use it with my students will enjoy and will be excited.
