Challenges in the educational world come up all of the time. But, confronting the challenges of integrating technology into teacher education is a challenge I think is solvable with the proper training of all teachers. Confronting a challenge involving an educational topic is an opportunity to learn as a student and a future teacher. In my past, I have experiences with technology, but hardly any experiences when it comes to integrating technology into the classroom. Sure I have been in a classroom with technology integration and my role was the student. Several experiences include flipped classrooms, online learning, and collaborate interactive learning. Experiences such as the flipped classroom were the most beneficial for myself as a student. I was learning new things about the topic we were covering, but the comprehension level that I researched was a new high because I had to understand what I was teaching to the rest of the class.
Integrating technology into the classroom is a very important skill that I will need to learn as a future educator. I feel somewhat prepared to confront the challenge of integrating technology into the classroom, but I need more training on how to do so successfully. I believe to fully prepare myself for this challenge; I can participate in training sessions on how to integrate technology into the classroom. Horizon Report K-12 Edition stated, “One of the reasons this challenge is perceived as solvable is that it is well understood, and solutions are already available. In the US, the Obama administration’s ConnectED program is earnestly investing the skills of teachers through the support and training in using educational technology tools for improving student learning ” (p. 138). I think that the proper training on how to integrate technology into the classroom, and continuing my education will prepare me to overcome this challenge. Connections between the first video, This Will Revolutionize Education and second video 3D Printing Math Lesson - Grade 3 are clearly made regarding the main concept of both videos. This Will Revolutionize Education talks about how technology should be used to enrich the classroom while 3D Printing Math Lesson - Grade 3 enriches a third grade classroom by using technology to create 3D castles made by students. This project involved math, science, and technology. This Will Revolutionize Education talked about how technology will become an evolution for the classroom and connected to 3D Printing Math Lesson - Grade 3 because this video showed an example with 3D printing. New technologies will be entering the education system and my future classroom. Using new tools and technology will require adequate training and practice in order to use the tools to my best potential. With proper training, technology can make a difference in my future classroom. I portray technology making a difference in my classroom using a strategy as flipped classroom to enhance the comprehension of my students.
