Technology Integration

Technology is an important aspect of my class. It can be a useful tool in instruction. Specifically, we integrate cell

    My presentation topic for this course is The need of technology in Honduran Education. I chose this topic due to all the problems and needs I have seen during my life as a student and now as a teacher. In Honduran we use technology but we always have some limitations, either in terms of information (knowing the latest), training, or rejection. There are many teachers that cannot use technology in class due to their low technological skills, and other issues that separate them to take advantage of all that technology offers. Thus, my major goal in this presentation is to persuade Honduran teachers to use the resources they have to use technology in class, to be technologically self-aware and to be motivated to learn about technology.…

    The essay, “It Always Costs” written by activist and scientist David Suzuki, argued for the importance of the negative outcomes of technology within our society. He further emphasized this idea by exploring the fact that although we rely and benefit from these technologies, everything comes at a price no matter how little or small it may seem. For example, malaria carrying mosquitoes, were being eliminated by a designed toxin (DDT) however, the genetics of the mosquitoes had mutated. As a result, the disease was difficult to erase and more toxins were used to improve the outbreak. The DDT affected the food chain and integrated into the egg shells of birds causing a high bird mortality rate.…

    Project Based learning is unique it is not the typical sit in a classroom and do a test it makes students work in group and each pulling their own weight and supporting their group members to complete a worthwhile project.

Doing this gives them knowledge that will not only help them this year but it will help them through all four years of high school. Project based learning may seem chaotic because each person is doing a different thing in their own way but most jobs are like this having people in different spots each doing something that is part of a bigger plan. This type of learning is quite…
