What Is The Traditional Way Of Teaching Technology?

“Education is evolving due to the impact of the Internet. We cannot teach our students in the same matter in which we were taught. Change is necessary to engage students, not in the curriculum we are responsible for teaching, but in school” (April Chamberlain). Humans are slowly becoming more and more advanced by the day and so is technology. They first used typewriters to computers. Technology helps students learn better, improve their test scores, and help disabled students. However, some researchers argue that technology will not stimulate more learning than pencil and paper, but this is not the case. Technology and people are becoming more advanced; therefore, more will be needed to integrate into the classroom. The traditional way of teaching …show more content…
Evgeny Demidov is a sixteen-year-old student who had terrible grades, difficulty learning, and a hard time focusing in class. The reason why he was like this was because he has a cardiac condition that prevents him from leaving his home most of the time. Demidov is not physically able to attend school every day, and he did not have a computer so he could be homeschooled. In order for him to improve his grades, learn better, and focus more, the school that Demidov attends gave him a robot and a laptop which, is connected to the robot, so that he is able to learn in the classroom without physically being there. The robot has an HD-camera, microphone, and a loudspeaker that allows Demidov to follow the lesson and communicate with his teachers, classmates, and friends. Diana Skripnik, Demidov’s math teacher, said he was not the brightest student in her class before he used the robot. After a year passed by when Demidov got the robot, “He has become more lively, he has become more cheerful now… moreover, he has B quarterly mark [a B] for math,” (Diana Skripnik). Using technology, like the robot and the laptop Demidov used, can help students that have similar conditions like Demidov. If Demidov had the same problems before getting the robot, he had to get notes from classmates and completing his …show more content…
iPads helped students achieve the understanding of space, and helped disabled students do the impossible. Using software even helped thousands of students improve their test scores. Technology even provides support for students who could not be inside the classroom physically to learn or have disabilities that hindered them from receiving the education. This world is advancing day-by-day, and the old method of learning is becoming less useful for the new generations of students. Change is needed for education to evolve because it cannot stay the same anymore. We already have technology that transformed cell phones into smartphones, and we need to do that for education, but we lack much technology that can make learning more efficient. Until we have more technology be integrated into classrooms, we should start by introducing them one at a
