The Use of Classroom Technology in Teaching Science
- 2. OVERVIEW: The effective use of technology in education has changed the face of education and it has created more educational opportunities. Both teachers and students have benefited from various educational technologies, teachers have learned how to integrate technology in their classrooms and students are getting more interested in learning with technology. The use of technology in education has removed educational boundaries, both students and teachers can collaborate in real time using advanced educational technologies.
- 3. Classroom ◇ a room in a school where lessons take place.
- 4. Technology the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment.
- 5. Technology Any modification of the natural world done to fulfill human needs or desires.
- 6. Computer Technology in Education and Its Effectiveness
- 7. Computer Technology in Education and Its Effectiveness 1.Computer technology can be used for visual illustrations. Students can learn more when teachers teach them using visual illustrations.
- 8. Computer Technology in Education and Its Effectiveness 2.Computer technology can be used in long distance learning. Many students have used computer technologies to learn from any were , computer gadgets like iPads can access internet from any where and they can allow students to attend remote classes.
- 9. Computer Technology in Education and Its Effectiveness 3.Computer technology can be used in real-time education. This makes learning easy because students can easily interact with those live examples, which simplifies the way they learn.
- 10. HOW TEACHERS USE TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM
- 11. ◇ Administration and monitoring student performance Teachers can use online technology tools and computers to administer and track the performance of their students. How Teachers Use Technology in the Classroom
- 12. ◇ Use Internet for research purposes and to drive real-time examples to students Teachers can use the internet in the classroom to conduct research on specific subjects and derive real- time examples to their students. How Teachers Use Technology in the Classroom
- 13. ◇ Create a class website or blog and post assignments, provide file downloads and arguments on various academic topics Teachers can use free CMS (content management systems) like wordpress.com or blogger.com. How Teachers Use Technology in the Classroom
- 14. Challenges of New Technology for Teachers
- 15. Challenges of New Technology for Teachers ◇ Lack of Professional development Teachers feel unprepared to learn and integrate technology in their classrooms. There is a lack of training programs to teach these teachers on ways they can use technology to simplify their job and also make it easier for their students to learn better.
- 16. ◇ Resistance to change Using technology in the classroom can be so demanding during the first phase of introduction because students will always need your help, and this scares many teachers, but in the long run, each student will know what to do, and your work will be simplified. Challenges of New Technology for Teachers
- 17. ◇ Lack of Innovation Using technological tools requires a certain degree of creativity. Some people learn easily without any help from a technical personal, while others will take a while to master how to use specific technological tools and integrate that experience towards solving a problem. Challenges of New Technology for Teachers
- 18. ◇ Access Many schools and teachers have no accesses to technological tools like smart whiteboards and projectors which can be used in visual illustrations in the classroom. Challenges of New Technology for Teachers
- 19. Transformation Infusion The teacher provides learning context and students choose the technology tools to achieve the outcome. Adaptation The teacher facilitates in exploring and independentl using technology. Adoptation The teacher directs students for conventional and procedural use of technology. Levels of Technology Integration in the Curriculum Entry 02 01 03 04 05 01 The teacher begins to use technology. The teacher encourages the innovative use of technology.
- 20. “ Technology should not replace teachers. Its main use is to enable students learn better through increasing their engagement in educational activities.
- 21. “ Technology is not having cool ipads or expensive gadgets; it is about the learning process. Technology has to improve the learning process and aim at improving student’s grades.
- 22. “ Technology has to facilitate and stimulate individual learning. Students should use technology to learn on their own with limited help from teachers.

Editor's Notes
- #11: The main job of a teacher is to help students understand specific subject matter. So technology has to be tailored or used just to make this process easier for the teacher.
- #12: One of the most important online tools teachers can use to administer and keep up with their students is Piazza.com. This application will allow teachers to manage course work and also enable them to answer questions asked by their students. Teachers can create classrooms on this platform, and posts subjects to be discussed on, then students in the classroom can get involved and exchange ideas about that particular subject
- #13: To achieve this, a teacher can decide to use a computer, a projector and a white board to display live data from the internet to the students in the classroom. Teachers can use websites like ‘‘Youtube.com‘‘ to illustrate subjects in a video format and this will take the students attention which will improve on the way students learn while in the classroom. Our brains can easily remember visual effects, because we even get flashbacks of those images or videos while not in the classroom.
- #14: These platforms can allow you to create a free website using a sub-domain name.
- #15: barriers of effective technology Some of the benefits of using technology in education can include ; easy access to academic information , ability to learn easily which results from the use visual learning in classrooms which is facilitated by technological tools like smart white boards, ability to learn from anywhere.
- #16: When it comes to remote schools or low level classes, teacher will act as a link between students and technology, because these students are not well informed on how to use technological tools like computers in the classroom. So if teachers have no training skills on using technology for educational purpose, then students will also miss out on these skills. This is a common practice in public schools, because private schools are business entities which are operated on competitive advantage, so they emphasize the use of technology in the class and their teachers are well trained and well equipped with technological tools for education.
- #17: not having enough computers, not getting enough technical training, then other teachers argue that the process of learning technology and how to integrate it in education take too much time, then there others, who feel that technology might replace them, so instead of losing their jobs and old methodology of teaching, they refuse to use technology in education.
- #18: The most challenging thing about technology is that, you do not stop at learning how it works and how to use it. But you must also find ways of integrating it in most of the things you do on a daily basis. So if you learn how to type and save data, you must also find ways on how that skill can help you in other aspects. Technological tools are designed to do more than just one task. Now that our level of learning, understanding and integrating is different, some teachers will shy away from the use of technology for educational purposes.
- #19: the lack of effective access to technological tools has also acted as a great barrier towards the effective use of technology in education Some schools do not have enough computers and they even lack access to internet which can be of a great use in academic research and remote learning.
- #20: TRANSFORMATION - technology tools are used to facilitate higher oerder learning activities that may not have been possible without the use of technology.
