As future
teachers, we have to know how technology works. Also, we have to know, the
hardware and software that we have available for our classes and how to apply
them in our daily life. After, reading the two articles. I have learned incredible
things about the use of post casting that I will keep it in mind.
I learned
that there are some devices that can be used to teach and practice some
specific skills. Both articles mentioned podcasts as an example, with podcasts
students can discuss topics, share ideas, and learn new topic, at the same time
they practice their listening skill.
Also, the article
studies the pros and cons of using technological devices as a tool for teaching
languages. I estimate the fact that the articles state certain disadvantages of
using technology to teach because it is evident that not everybody has access
to technological devices, or feel comfortable using them. Therefore, it will be
our responsibility as a teacher to find a way to overcome those barriers.
As a
conclusion, as futures teachers we need to be conscious that technology is
important and useful in order to develop some skills, and we can use in order
to teach classes, but at the same time, as teachers, we need to be prepared to
give it a correct use.
Hi Monica, after reading what you wrote, I was also interesting of the disadvantages that the articles present about technology. I was thinking that maybe when we become teachers, the Government could facilitate the tools in order to work and apply different techniques as the podcast for example.
ReplyDeletethank you Andrea for your comment, It is a good idea and I hope the Government do that!
DeleteI agree with you because as we know the majority of students have access to a mobile device or a technological device that makes it easier for the teacher to exploit the potential that each student has in the different skills and podcating is a very good tool to exploit the ability to listen.
