1st Blog: The Most Important Role of Teachers in Integrating Technology into the Lesson Plan

It’s been a while since I published my very last blog. This is our first ever task for our subject, Educational Technology II. We are asked to write about the topic “Important role of a teacher in integrating technology into lesson plan. So, sit back, relax and start to read my blog. I hope that you will get something from me after you read my work. Here we go.

            

Technology alone does not improve education. Great technology with entertaining content does not improves education. Expensive gadgets and pricey projectors also don’t give a count. But a knowledgeable teacher who can maximize the use of what is the only available technology surrounds her will do.

                                 

In the present time, the technology is so advanced that it made the source of information so much available everywhere. Google is just one click away. Students can now swim into the pool of information online and share their acquired information in the class. The major role of the teachers in the present time is to be a facilitator who will guide the students from which information should they keep, or should they throw away.

              

Integrating of technology in the lesson plan is very challenging especially when you are a traditional type of teacher who’s afraid to try and explore new things. But greater things happen as the years go by. New inventions are made every now and then and different styles and techniques are discovered. For you to become a great person, you must adapt to the changes and learn from it. Going back to what I have said before, it is a huge challenge to integrate the technology into a lesson plan because you must include this into your system forever. You must know the trends and interests of your students for you to speak the same language to them. You must also know how to choose the right combination of what application you will use considering the topic that they must learn.

                      

The important role of a teacher is to be a wise facilitator and who is always ready for a change, who is eager to study every trends and new discoveries, and someone who is always open to share her learning and experiences to her class.
