Affect of technology in students' and teachers' learning

According to B.F. Skinner in his book "The Technology Teaching", argued that classrooms are inefficient places for learning because number of students together with differences in their learning progress, make it difficult for teachers to effectively reinforce and shape behaviours. So, this is where technology can be very helpful. Teachers sometimes cannot give feedback to all students at once and to correct them. Therefore, teachers can use the suitable software that allow the computers to provide immediate response and corrective feedback. So, students won't be afraid if they fall out from the track. Besides, technology provide rich learning environment. For example, students can see clearly the process of photosynthesis in an animated form along with the verbal narrations and visual information in a short time unlike in the textbook where movement and motion are impossible. So, it can attract students' attention to the topic and helps their learning. In addition, software allow the students to re-do some experiments if they not able to get the result for the first time. It is actually very helpful because it can increase students' motivation to learn and try until they succeed.
As for the teachers, internet provides them with wide range of space for them to learn. For example, forum allows them to chat with other educators all around the world and and from there you can learn how they do to improve the teaching and learning process and share whatever input or resources others have that beneficial to you. To be teachers in this era, teachers must either learn to equip themselves with ICT's skills or they will be left behind.

PLEaSE

The presentation on "PLEaSE" by Prof. Raja Maznah was very impressed me. I thought it was just an ordinary word "please" but it is actually something different and important....
In my opinion, teachers and future teachers must know well on how to gain students' engagement during teaching and learning process because the process will be more meaningful if the students are the one who set the ways they want to learn and the teachers act as the facilitator in which they provide the knowledge of their expertise.
Besides, teacher must be able to create the most suitable learning environment that allows the students to involve in the learning process. For example, the 12 Cs of Smart teaching & learning propose by Prof. Raja Maznah can be the guidelines to make sure that engagement from the students can be gained.
The use of technology is also useful in learning where it can assist teachers in their teaching and therefore teachers and students must equip themselves with the ICT's skills in order to keep up with the 21st century education system.
So, that's all from me. I'm looking forward to read bout your opinion on this..
