In the 21st century the emergence of technology have aided society
works. In the work place more people are beginning to use technology and
that this have changed how the world are connected with each other. As a
result, this requires the classroom to change as well. Education still
need to focus on the main subjects but at the sametime they need to
learn other skills to help them think critically and the emergence of
technology have helped and create these skills of critical thinking
because there are so much information that emerges on the internet. The
role of teacher changes because student can aquire multiple information
from different places as a result teacher can act as a guide more than
just providing information to the student. Also the teacher needs to
slowly move away from traditional pen and paper because there is a world
full of information and databases. As a result, it is also important to
create and use technology in the classroom to make it relevant for the
student. We must also continue to use a variety of information and
different technologies so the student can know how to use them and also
it will be more practical for them because they will be using it for
their entire lives. The teacher can also direct students to the
different technology which can help them understand how all the topics
are interelated and with technology student can understand that the
subjects do not neccessarily stand on its own. The role of the learner
is changing because they can learn while they live outside of school or
at home. They can also connect with educators and other people through
the internet and social media. At the same time they must also be aware
of the danger of the internet and the cellphone. They also need to be
aware of the danger and how much trust they put on it because there are
many information that are not reliable on the internet. Student can
become independent learner by searching information with easier access
than ever before. I also believe that technology should be included in the classroom to help aid students to become successful and be able to relate to real life. I think technology gives a practical aspect for the student and allow student to find it practical because they use those technology in their daily life.
