                                         Becoming a 21st century teacher

 

Teaching is important to build the future. A teacher has to have the skill of 21st century through the use of technology indifferent ways as Hilary and Anthary did when they integrate the technology in education and how it has affected on learning. I find to teach 21st century skills in class an interesting ways because it will emerge the student and the teacher to utilize technology every day inside or outside the school .Moreover that can allow them to improve in all aspect of life and learning to understand the best ways that do not make students dull. In the past, I was against to depend on technology to much in school but, after I read the chapter I recognized the benefit of having the technology in school I changed my mind because student rely on electronic in every single day at any age or any gender but some circumstances prevent students from using computer as they need. In the 21st century teacher become using technology in part of teaching.

I am unaware person when it comes to technology tools and using it in class .So, I found useful devices to school like Tablets, Smartphones and Laptops  each one has different features but has the same goal ,which is that the effect on student learning in and out school. From my experience in elementary school that the teacher did not use technology, I used technology when I enrolled university only to do homework after I go home the learning end. Now, I was surprised to know how technology emerge in every aspect of modern life. For example, in the chapter “teaching based on library-textbook-learning environment-office” all of this indicate that technology promote interactive of the student and teacher by making them thinking critical, creative problem solving , understand the world , teaching subject in anew ways and giving the opportunity for teacher to take her work any place.

I agree with the chapter when it said” learn technology while teaching academic content” because learning technology in one class cause confusion for students, but gradually learned helps the students to understand and get used to it once by once. If we notice that it is better to apply technology in school and work with a small group to enhance each other, to gain experience form each other by using technology.

In the end of the chapter , I have learned that the digital identity engaged to the teacher technology skills and knowledge .Also, it gives the opportunities and challenges of using technology creatively and help the students to be I Generation of technology . It is true that our children and professional nowadays use different types of digital and electronic technology in the social media every moment. So, we can not live without technology.
