The best way is to relate all topics (holistic approach), for instance, depending on the age, let them do their own small books, let them do some short anecdotes using the computer, word recognition is possible to sing some songs and recognize words, let them write words in sand boxes.\n\n____________________________________\nNeed help or advise?

I think you can .. and the key is to depend less on technology . like instead of using a calculator for every math problem . try to use your brain . instead of watching a movie about The American history , read a book ... and so on

As far as booksmarts & the ability to multitask goes, we will be smarter. As far as common sense, I believe that we have already gotten dimmer over even the last ten years. The ease of technology on our everyday lives, I think, is undermining our common sense & street smarts :)\n\nGood question!

When used correctly, technology media are very effective as reinforcers for near-mastery material, introducing discussion topics, etc.\n\nMost people learn best when presented information repeatedly, in a variety of formats.

(I know this might be really long But I hope it answers you question!) Technology is a broad definition of several things. For example, technology maybe Media like Movies, Music, or pictures. Technology can be just a computeror a calculator. As an instructional piece you may want to use he resources online. For example, there is game online callled Fraction Frenzy. It's about Equivalent Fractions. Students are timed and have to match equivalent Fractions. I had a young lady in my classroom that doubted herself alot and had very low self esteem. However, when she played the game she was the only one in the classroom to get the highest level. Technology can be used tomake connections. For my instructional technology course at NYIT I prepared a lesson plan using Mulan to connect with poetry. Mulan the movie was created from a poem. Since the students do not know the origin of the movie, they become interested and motivated. Since the movie originated from a poem, its a great way to introduce poetry (especially prose poems) and focus on the movie. You can show clips of the movie that is mentioned in the poem and how the makers of movie changed it to suit their audience. Also how they portrayed the movie and the ideals of the culture represented in the movie. Which can also turn into a history lesson. I recommend you go online and find games, activities, websites, lessons and even software you can download to enhance your instructional practices. My favorite are Webquests. They integrate the disciplines. For example, I did a websquest on personal budget for an afterschool program. The students had to (i know this is really long but you can just skim for important information lol) create a budget on what they would like their future to look like. This involved economy, literacy, math, and social studies. Also Public Speaking because they need to present their information using Microsoft Powerpoint. There is so much you can do. Just search! I added some websites that I use often in my classrooms and making plans. Good Luck!

We wake up (usually by an alarm clock), we get ready for work, school etc (usually listening to the radio or watching TV), we go to work or school (usually by car, tube, train or bus) while listening to our ipods, chatting on our cellphones or watching our ipod TV's. At work we use computers and telephones. At lunch time, draw some money (from a cash point) and buy our lunch (at the till point), then we may do a spot of lunchtime shopping (on our credit cards), then we go back to work and send silly emails around the office or chat to cyber friends on msn or yahoo messenger. We travel back home and use our cells on the way to send texts, talk or listen to the radio. We prepare dinner (sometimes in a microwave) and watch TV or listen our stereo. We play computer games and watch movies, chat on the phone and on the Internet, and as it gets darker we use electricity to be able to see, we have a shower and get ready for bed.\n\nTechnology has made us complacent, lazy and shifted our focus on the important aspects of life. Because our every need is catered for in some way by technology, we get greedy and impatient for things that will further enhance our way of life. It has provided the most wonderful creations and things that we, at somepoint, would never have imagined, yet it has made us all vulnerable and open to the darker minds of our society and addicted to what we cant live without.\n\nTechnology has effected society by giving no boundery. It has created a people of instant touch-of-a-button satisfaction with more, more and more requested. If technology had not developed as fast as it had people would spend more time interacting in 'real-time' in person. Family and Community morals would be of more value as there wouldn't be such a variety of things to seclude and distance us.\n\nWhile technology can bring people closer and encourage people to spend time together, it seems that technology seperates generations. With each generation theres something new and cool that comes out that alienates the previous one. \nFor example \nRecord LPs - Cassette - CDs - MP3. \nVideo Tape - DVD. \nPen and paper - Typewriter - Computer - Laptop. \nWalkman - CDman - ipod. \n\nHowever, I love my phone, I love my computer and all the other things mentioned above! But its the fact that we rely so heavily on technology that makes us weak. Quite simply, with more technology comes more control of our society. And we are not the ones controlling it.

oh....Using technology based projects and things in my classroom have changed my style completely.  First of all, I use a lot of powerpoint when I lecture and using this means I can show movie clips, cartoons, pictures...anything that relates well with my subject area.  (I teach history) We also do a lot more research, so my students are learning to become careful, thorough researchers.  I use the internet to provide interactive study guides, online quizzes, etc. for them at home.  On review days, we have a huge Jeopardy game that comes up on the digital projector - they get so excited that they end up jumping around and studying for the REVIEW a week in advance.  I have a website that allows my students access to lessons, projects, deadlines, etc, making them more responsible and goal oriented.  AND my school has a great program that catches plagarism on papers, so although I hate that I have, I've caught students cheating and hopefully caught them early enough for them to realize the need for honesty and hard work.\n\nI like hands on learning and I find that computers and technology allow them the opportunities to express themselves and learn in a more...relaxed, enjoyable setting.  I've found in the last little while that students are doing better in class as they get more involved in technology=based learning.\n\nChallenges...sometimes it's hard to intergrate things.  Sometimes my students have to suck it up and learn by lecture.  I think it overstimulates sometimes, so I try for a good balance.  um.  Resources is a big challenge.  Digital projectors are EXPENSIVE.  \n\nCan't really think of many challenges - I'm blessed with a very well equipped, technology friendly school.

No. The use of information technology will aid the teachers better inform their pupils about the world.\nMoreover the role of teacher would be more important and stronger as only teachers will tell you where to find correct information and what is right and what is wrong.\nSo, i think IT will complement the role of teacher rather than lessening it.

I think first on the list would be communication.  Computing technology allows for massively improved communication.  It is easier (look how easy it it was for you to contact me).  It is quicker (imagine how many months it would have taken you to get answers to your questions if you'd had to use snail mail).  And the content is much richer (you can send anything at all to me except touch, taste and smell---and they're working on them!)\n\nSecond on the list would probably be information.  Communication and information are very much associatated, but let's look specifically at the content of what you can send and receive.  You can send me anything at all that fits in the audio or visual range.\n\nAnd then there's the fact that the use of computers makes our lives easier.  They are execellent at doing complex calculations for us.  They allow us to simulate things rather than actually doing them (that, I understand, is how the USA continues to develop its nuclear weapons: through simulation... but you might want to check that fact).\n\nFor more information you might like to make your way through the links on this page\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing\n\nGood luck

to get use to it then when they grow up they know how to study and to do their work

Buy an electronics lab from Radio Shack and build a few projects. I was bought one when I was 11 (about 26 years ago) and haven't looked back. The best way to learn is with practice and its never too late.

It's a trend and many teenagers feel the need to follow trends.

I think there's no limit to how quickly kids will learn to use and master the computer.  I just hope there will be more tools available to help them grow their minds with them, and not just pacify them with games.\n\nWith proper encouragment, kids will be able to more quickly learn essential skills like programming, graphic design and networking skills that will make them the next generation of innovators.  It can also obviously aid them in developing more quickly in whatever other field of interest they may have.\n\nThe obvious challenge is to create software that mimics games while teaching kids important concepts.  Hand/eye coordination isn't enough; they have to start to use their minds in a more critical and creative fashion.  The software that can do that will have really achieved something for them, as well as for the rest of us.

It's an interesting topic, one to get student's thinking.\n\nI can see a laptop being useful, not the other items.\n\nI plan on going back to school and want to buy a laptop for a few reasons. One, taking notes cramps my hand severely (carpal tunnel acts up with a lot of writing). I can type way faster than I can write, with no hand cramps.  I also need to do research papers, and again, taking notes in the library is time consuming and hand cramping.  \n\nI also plan on taking online classes, and having a laptop will let me log in and take the classes at home, in the library or when I travel.  My desktop computer gets used by other family members, is not portable, so I need my very own computer.\n\nSince all papers need to be typed, a computer of one's own is very, very useful. \n\nYes, you can do all the above without a computer, and when I went through school and got my BA in the years, bc (before computer), I used a typewriter and had to retype things, splice them together, type again, use whiteout, cut and paste using scissors and glue (literally).  The computer makes all that obsolete.\n\nLaptop, definately. \n\nipod?  nah.  just put music on the computer. and buy a computer that plays dvd movies too.\n\ndistracting?  Anything can be distracting, even something like your own thoughts. Distractions will always be available, it's a matter of self-discipline.\n\n\nHave fun with your paper.

I would not be so sure. You have obviously made a good case for the pros of the set up. But I believe that students at an impressionable age lack the determination to sit through an internet session and learn something from it.\nThe very way teaching is conducted, empahsizes on serious taxation of the brain and I can much imagine the current crop of students, already suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder to not make much sense of such a course.\n\nMaking them sit through the course in a class may just work better
