There are many things that influences
K-12 teachers and students to use technology in the classroom. Firstly, for
visuals and to show videos really helps captures the class's attention.
Technology helps students develop according to their strengths and needs at
their own speed. This type of teaching is also beneficial for the instructor
because it allows them the time to focus with students who may be struggling
individually.
In the ISTE Standards for Education
the one that stood out to me was Designer. Designer in my opinion is being able
to shape programs and the material to teach students which can even be
personalized for a student's needs which they can always access. Educators can
adapt and help design the programs or teaching styles to fit as in to be
challenging, or to simply re learn something. This can be used for independent
and dependent learning.
Digital natives in my
opinion are more comfortable in the digital age, because they grew up being
exposed and using technology. Digital immigrants are not that comfortable or
did not grow up being so exposed to an environment about using technology.
Digital natives like myself are more comfortable because technology was already
invented and there and is always expanding. My grandma is a prime example of
someone who is a digital immigrant. She doesn't have interest in expanding her
knowledge about technology. She uses a flip phone and that is enough for her to
just call. I can't hold a conversation about knowing how or what to do with
technology cause she would just nod her head and listen but doesn't really have
interest
