Technology in education

 

                                           

Hello everyone, I am Shpetim Xhaferi, this is my first blog post and I am very happy and enthusiastic that I have the opportunity to share my thoughts and opinions with each one of you my dear friends and colleagues. When I first came across with the subject of technology, I had no idea what we were going to do in these classes and I was confused but excited at the same time. Why do I say confused? For a simple reason, because it is the first time in my academic life to have technology as a subject .On the other hand I was excited because as everything unknown and mysterious we all have the curiosity to get in it, to know more about it .These mixed feelings made me think deeper for many things related to this subject, I thought and meditate about the importance, influence, impact that these classes will have on me in all aspects of my overall development, as a student now and as a teacher in the future. Therefore to be clear, technology as a term and phenomenon is worldwide spread and in a way or another maybe everyone has access, but studying it and getting more involved, this is something new for many people and for me as well. Nowadays we all use technology for different and specific reasons, I like to call technology as “ the lover or friend” that never cheats you because you may have fun and entertain, find every kind of information that you are interested, you  can work as well ,etc..

Meanwhile when I referr that by using  technology we can work, the perfect examples are blogs, many successful bloggers instead of fame and popularity also have good profits , generating a considerable amount of money.

This subject seems to be very interesting and helpful for us and is on the cards that everyone who has the chance to be part of it, is going to have many benefits. My expectations are very high, seeing the schedule of subject, assignments or projects; that’s why taking all advantages that offers the technology in general probably is going to help us a lot to implement it in our daily teaching. The current situation, when the all world is fighting with a terrible virus, global pandemic has influenced and in our teaching style. Concretely, if we look around, we will notice and see pupils and students having classes at home, in front of a smart device like computers or their smartphones, by using different platforms that their schools or universities have set for them. We all know that for countries like Albania, online courses are an experiment and only the time will show us for its success. As we are addicted to technology we should start using it for our good not only for fun ,or the worse, taking disadvantages that technology offers. Technology with education in general and teaching in special it seems that they are going to create a strong connection and at a short time may be “inseparable”.

    What I find most interesting in your work is that you mentioned an aspect of technology that so far we haven't acknowledged in our blogs and that is making money through technology, that is so true. Nowadays people depend on it to make a living and we can mention so many professions that need technology with the current situation we are in but not only that, also sharing knowledge and information and experiences.

    Hi,Shpetim. I like the fact that you have mentioned all the profits we have if we use technology. Furthermore, you have touched even the part that we can financially profit from technology ,like in the case of bloggers ,who are earning a lot of money. Also thanks for sharing your feeling regarding this subject. Well done my friend!

It looks like the time is flying and now I am writing my fifth blog post, but for me this post is like I am doing my first one because of useful topics we have treated so far in this subject. While, I have to admit that week after week lectures are becoming more and more interesting, so I can also say that our knowledge for technology in teaching is expanding. Let’s get back to action and talk about this week’s topic.   What are some other tech tools that may help us to create projects? Well we can mention some of them and see how do they work 1.       Padlet : When students are engaged in collaborative work, Padlet is a great tool for the classroom. It works as an online bulletin board where students can post ideas, images, videos, and more. With problem based learning, Padlet works as an excellent starting point where students can post research questions and post the answers they find as they research. 2.     ...

ABCD Objectives

  Hello everyone, this is my second blog post and today we are going talk about an interesting topic   we treated last lecture. Yeah it is about ABCD objectives and I saw important and useful elements of these objectives in our learning process , now as students and after as teachers.   At the beginning let's start with what are ABCD objectives, how do they help us to fulfill objectives we may have during a specific lecture and how this method also helps us to build an useful learning objective. After reading the lecture and in special this topic we can surely say   and claim that a simple way to make sure you’re building a useful learning objective is to use the ABCD method. Each letter in ABCD stands for a different part of your learning objective. These different parts answer four questions about your objective: who, what, how, and how well. The Four Parts of an ABCD Learning Objective A classic way to think about constructing a learning objective is that ...

How is a good and successful teacher

  Hello everyone!   I hope you are well and in a good mood! As classes are ending I still need to emphasize that lectures, blogs , assignments etc..   of this subject have helped me a lot how to implement the technology and its tools in education. Each week we had topics chosen by our professor, but this week she left us a free choice, a free topic. Consequently, I saw appropriate to talk about how to be a good and a successful teacher. I will try to share my thoughts and my opinions regarding this topic. At the beginning I will start from myself, how was born the idea to become an English teacher. In fact when I was a kid I did not really like this job, but when I started to study English, love for this language made me to love teaching too. Otherwise, I totally agree with the quote that teachers have three loves: love of learning, love of learners and the love of bringing the first two loves together. So, what we understand as any other job in the world teaching except ...
