Assignment #2
Does electronic learning and teaching have any major effect on the delivery and development of education?
Teaching and learning have evolved over the years; gone are the days when teaching was just chalk and talk and learning was just pure rote. Today with the invention and inclusion of electronic learning and teaching our students are more enthused, involved and active in the teaching learning process. Electronic learning is the type of learning which takes place as a result of experiences and interactions in an electronically rich environment. These experiences and interactions have allowed our students to absorb more content and knowledge in all subject areas, thus making the teaching learning process more meaningful.
Technological advances in education have opened a new area of knowledge and offers tools that have the potential to change some of the existing teaching methods. Integrating new technology into classroom instruction means more than teaching basic computer skills and software programmes in a separate computer class. Integrating technology must happen across the curriculum in ways that enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts. Effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and transparent and when technology supports curricular goals.
As a grade six teacher, I have the arduous task of ensuring that my students are captivated by the manner in which I impart the content of the lesson to them. I include the use of PowerPoint presentations in my lessons to allow my students to
