Technology In Honduran Education

Decent Essays
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 article explores a study conducted to see what teachers choose to do to conduct their classes when they have no restrictions and limits, specifically in terms of technology. The study showed that despite the freedom to choose the tool of choice, teachers stuck with power points, which are the most basic “old school” way of teaching a class. Savasci concludes after the study that teachers must increase their “ knowledge and skills about how to use those instructional technologies and help them develop positive attitudes toward information and communication technologies”. This illustrates Cahn and Cahn’s sub-claim that schools and their teachers should branch out to innovative technologies for their students. The intended audience seems to be the generation older than the millennials given the subject and context of the study is very factual, but can definitely be intended for millennials as well because the language used is not difficult relative to other academic studies conducted.…

    In this article I thought the responses from the teachers were very interesting. I thought they would’ve agreed that technology helped the students more, but instead they felt technology was the cause of slowness. This article made me notice that not everybody uses technology as a way to improve in education, but sometimes a distraction. Because I too, sometimes get distracted by technology, I can see why they see technology as an obstacle for education. Especially because we are allowed i pads at school it puts the idea of the useage of technology into a different view.…

    The academic journal “Reaping the Benefits of Technology Immersion,” written by Drew Tiene and Pamela Luft show all the possible reasons as to what technology provides for students. The article persuades its audience with many of the resources technology can provide for students such as enhancing their education.

    In this article, a key idea that I read about was how integrating technology into the classroom is sometimes put on pause because of the teacher’s knowledge and experience with technology, pedagogy, and content (TPAC). The world is constantly changing and that is including technology. It is a teacher’s responsibility to change and grow with these changes that can be so important to student’s lives and help them to better their future and education. Technology is a complicated thing, but integrating it into the classroom betters the students because they are learning in a more fun and engaging way, rather than reading word-for-word from a textbook. Integrating technology into the classroom could start at watching a simple video clip about a topic or go all the way to doing a whole unit straight from computers and tablets.…

    Technology--the plague of society to some, and heaven's greatest blessing to another. The perspective of it changes its meaning. To schools, this perspective becomes essential to the prospects of how much the education system, and even the public, may change because of it. While technology will, and has, brought vast opportunity to those with access to it, to pay the price of experience can be fatal to the next generations if there is not a balance of technology and human interaction within the education system.…

    The rationale behind this study would be to increase awareness of the benefits of technology as a whole in teacher pedagogy and to give teachers a new perspective on how it can catapult our instruction and educational experiences to an entirely new level with endless possibilities.

    The first major recent educational development is the continuing integration of technology in the classroom. Even though the internet and computers were around in the later part of the 20th century, not much was known about these machines in terms of the knowledge of the general public. It wasn’t until the 21st century, when all of these machines were able to be put to good use. Several new styles of educating students have…

    I have seen technology advance over the years form the time I graduated high school, as I’m probably older than many of you. Today students have much more information at a push of a button with the internet being accessible on so many different types of devices.

The classrooms of today, it is necessary to bring the technology to the students and to keep the student up with the basic knowledge of technology to keep them up to standards set by the rest of the world. In writing this assignment I have used more technology than I used in all my years in high school.…

    I feel like it should be required for Public schools to teach their students how to write in cursive because it is an important lesson that should be used in every day life. I think that just because technology is getting more advanced it doesnt mean that everything we learned by being taught and remembered through memory shouldnt be forgotten. We should be able to use our brains and gain knowledge that can help us remember and become familiar with certain misunderstandings. When we write using our hands we use our entire brain capacity because it's a learned talent that stays in our mind. Every student in the future should have a choice on what they want to learn and dont want to learn.…
