                              Transforming learning with unique, powerful technology

In this chapter , I make it clear that the teacher should use modern technology to deliver information to student and these types include five ways- Visual learning , Accessing and Assessing information, Active collaboration and engagement, Feedback and Expressing creativity. I am really amazed by how the teacher build the new knowledge based on what they already know by taking the students to trace their shadow drawing because it is a clover method for unforgettable lessons , creatively thinking and discover what they need to learn.

According to science of learning implication of learning they are two approaches to learn one is called teacher – centered and second is called student- centered. Now, I know the different between them for the teacher-centered is a method that lectured by teacher to students and for the student-center is method that learning academic material in really life-situation. In my view ,I will go with student-centered more than teacher – centered because student – centered has more opportunity for thinking creatively , solve problem in real situation and excite more options for learning in inventive way. Also, student-centered has four learning method supported by technology ( One-to-one tutoring- inquiry learning –Metacognitive thinking-Learning group) I liked them all because it makes the students participation in learning whiter individually , in group , do authentic , active work or how to learn through self-explanation.

I agree with visual learning by using technology because student tack the lesson more clearly and assisted him to see the past, the present and future. For example, teacher exposure a video about what’s inside the human body .Normally, cannot see inside our body but visual technology allowed to see it. Another point, Technology assisted involving students in access information and assessing information but the student should be guide by teacher and to focus on critical evaluation for using information. teacher has to be aware of learning and giving attention on the student learning from external and internal focus on learning internal because it is the most important to build generation .One way is that students work in group and make them to be responsible and shears skills, knowledge in activity way.

In the chapter I have learned that feedback encourage learning by making mistake. I really liked the program  that help students to learn individually and correct his mistake if the students keep doing mistake the program lead the student step by step .SO, I think this program develop the student curiosity to solve the problem. Student can express them creative by writing in computer and computer can be used for communication. Also, by connecting with other student will have new idea and know the environment among him.
