What Do You Think About Integrate Technology in Schools ?

   

Technology is everywhere and it touches almost every part of our lives, our communities, our homes. Now, more and more technology is used in school. Integrating technology into classroom means more than teaching basic computer skills and software programs in a separate computer class. Real integration of technology in classroom means that it should happen across the curriculum and shows extend and increase in the learning process.

 Technology also change the way teachers teach. The new technological tools offer teachers many effective ways to reach different types of learners and evaluate student understanding much easier. Also it can improve the relationship between teacher and students. For instance, when technology is effectively integrated into subject areas, teachers grow into roles of adviser, content expert, and coach. In other words, technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun.

In mathematics, technology is used for few decades. The first and the most used technological tool in mathematics is calculator. Calculators are one of the essential technologies in mathematics classrooms that enhance student understanding. However, the time changes, and not only because today's society is becoming more and more advanced  and dependent upon technology, but also many schools are beginning to embrace technology as an essential part of their curricula. Today, besides calculator teachers can use computers, web based applications (web 2.0 or MyMathLab), projectors, smart board, clickers and so on. In other word we have all the advance technology that can be used for the benefit of teaching and learning.
