Week+2

In this week's readings and videos I saw that every student learns at different rates. The question in my mind is raised as to how well d technology helps each individual student maximize their education. Before answering my question, I began to read these articles that talked about conducted survey's over the years to see how technology impacted student achievement. I found that that technology has many positive effects on student achievement. Just as I found in one of the reading this week where it talked about how our teachers have a diverse group of students in one classroom that 15 years ago didn’t exist. It is more important that we use different instructional tools to keep learning experiences open for every child.

The other problem that exist, in not fully answering my posed quesiton above, is how do we educate or teachers to teach to diversity. Not all teachers are welcoming new technology with open arms. Change is very hard and I believe there are some teachers that feel technology tools are a burden in the classroom. As I have said in my discussion post, not using necessary technical tools in the classroom can hinder our student minds. It is really hard for some of our digital immigrants, including myself, to learn how to teach to the digital age. By not speaking their language, we are missing out on reaching a diverse group of students.
