How can technology fail in a classroom and what can be done differently to make technology succeed ? Give an example of how you would use technology.
How technology can fail in the classroom if the teachers does not how to use technology or know how to teach the technology in the classroom. Most students in the classroom have used technology outside at a really age and thus most students know probably know more than the teacher. I believe the teachers needs to set the boundaries and objectives of the assignment at the beginning of the assignment. Teachers sometimes need to be flexible in grading the assignment because sometimes students may find an easier way to use technology due to their knowledge. One way as teacher I would use technology in the classroom I have students blog once a week about a topic that is being discuss in the class and I would let the students lead the discussion and the students would have to get approval before submitting the topic.
