LB# 3 The Roles of Educational Technology in Learning

           Pupils or Students have different levels of intelligence. In this differences the teacher should assess the ability, learnings and understanding of students. Technology plays a vital role in communicating to students. Whether we use the traditional way or constructivist way, the important thing is that the lesson and discussions in the classroom must be learned-centered environment and not teacher centered so that the purpose of education will be defeated

            The more effective way of extending technology to students for me are the combination of constructivist & tradition way since constructivist way helps students to analyze gather, explore and use technology on their own & not totally dependent to teacher discussion only. It gives the student a chance to do things on their own by expanding and broadening more what they already perceived in their mind not just depending on teachers discussion. With this interaction between students and teacher becomes more meaningful and appealing, the traditional way is also helpful for students who have slow learning ability since they needed teachers guidance to lead them through.

             But whatever approach will be use lies in hands of the teacher. As teacher acts as a facilitator of learning and needs to continuously adopt any technology that would benefit the welfare of students. Hence teachers are catalyst of change in every students life and this is my challenge as a future teacher to be. Becoming an ideal teacher to student in order to makes them and ideal person that we wanted to be.
