What is your ideal technology "set up" in your classroom? How would technology impact student achievement and engagement in your classroom?
Ideal technology "set up" is something when every student in the classroom have access to technology. Not only does these kids need to have access but they should also know how to use the tech tools provided to them. Then only it becomes ideal and fair on teacher's part to assign work based on technology.
To achieve this, the teacher first of all need to make sure that all the students know how to use the tech tools. He or she can spend some time in the beginning of the semester and give students small training classes and then start giving work.
The other ideal set up is when all the students have the computer or any other mobile device to use . When the number of computers or laptops available is less in quantity students are forced to work in groups. As much students like to work in groups there are lot of chances where they can get distracted into other things, while working in groups.
Thus the quantity should be optimum where every student has a personal computer to work on.
As technology makes things more creative, students will definitely be more engaged in what they want to learn or suppose to learn. Also, technology provides updated information which also gains attention.
When students can see their progress consistently they can work on those areas where they need more practice and effort. Thus, they can improve their grades progressively.
Technology through presentations, and videos make students think and also makes them to ask questions about a particular topic which improves their thinking process.
All this will help students to be a better listener and ultimately have an positive impact on student achievement.
