Our students today belong to the so- called generation M ,21st century learners,they are called digital natives, those who were born after the advent of technology belong to this generation. He does the following whenever he has an internet connection,checks facebook, downloaded songs or movies to mp3 player, shared a video in the you tube, checked yahoo, and did some searching via google. And not a year from now, the technology that uses your phone to google glass via bluetooth will be introduced. Because of all of these. teaching has become a very demanding profession nowadays. Aside from the many tasks that have little to do with classroom instruction like being managers, counselors, custodians community ambassadors., the demands of the classroom are very distracting and consuming. Teaching should provide authentic learning experiences that will hone the 21st century skills in our students, If we continue to teach in the traditional way we might think again because we might not be preparing students to be globally competitive and worst lost the idea of nurturing talent. We envision technology as a teacher’s help in bridging the gap between the traditional and modern ways of teaching. Technology has been the topic in the 21st century education, there have been so many misconception about the use of technology, how to implement technology effectively and use practical pragmatic way It is important to know that Technology is not a solution to 21st century education technology is a tool to aid education and learn, any learning concerning technology should be based on the theme or the objectives of the class, too much investment on technology but too little knowledge on how to use it can lead to squandering money , and can lessen the budget for teacher training, for example, inter-active whiteboards will be just simply whiteboards if not used properly Technology should promote skilled centered learning but investing on wrong gadgets can also lead to teacher centered learning for example, interactive whiteboard when used for lectures does not served its purpose and becomes teachers gadget in lecturing,another digital quizzes and inter-active games that students needs to answer in paper completely ignores high level thinking skills. How should technology be used in eduction? Technology is a tool, it allows the students to do research and search facts using the internet their learning higher level of research skills that can transpire to university and beyond. Technology can be used to enhance critical thinking and critical literacy skills evaluating the legitimacy and accuracy of online content is essential part of 21st century education, Schools should teach the ethics of using the internet to avoid Use of technology for collaboration among students and teachers,though can sometimes push into the bottom still gives a voice to students,students should be governed with rules on how to give criticism , receive criticism because it may affect self esteem on online content. One of the best features and exciting part of technology is its use for designing and creativity, students can be able to create different types of content written,audio, visual 2d 3d music video photos magazines conduct experiment then after creating these content they can use technology to present their ideas whether it be online or in person.Technology can be present in every stage of education process from introduction, research, project and presentation. The creation aspect can be more sophisticated to car design,3d animation , games design and so on. There is a difference between educational technology as compared to technology in education . Technology in and how they might be used to support traditional classroom activities, but this is a misleading and potentially dangerous interpretation. It not only places an inappropriate focus on hardware, but fails to consider other potentially useful "idea" technologies resulting from the application of one or more knowledge bases, such as learning theory. Educational technology involves applying ideas from various sources to create the best learning environments possible for students. Educational technologists also ask questions such as how a classroom might change or adapt when a computer is integrated into the curriculum. This integration means that the curriculum and setting may also need to change to meet the opportunities that the technology may offer. When we speak of educational technology we cant get away with media literacy . Media literacy is the ability to access analyze ,evaluate, synthesize print and non-print media and be able to produce media. how many sites were you visiting to improve teaching?
