Technology in the Classroom: A look at how technology is implemented and used to motivate students and help them create and learn valuable skills. The nature of this case is to show how the resources we already have can be used to support students in the classroom. It’s not necessarily something new, but a way to make learning meaningful in different ways. In these videos we can observe how students are engaged in the creation of authentic work that is shared with others. In these examples, we know students are learning because they are focused and engaged in a process that helps them learn skills that will allow them to create a final product. They are producing and teaching what they learn. In the case of the video production class, students are learning how to shoot, edit, research, and write. All of these are skills that will serve them well in the future. This process is empowering and motivating students. It allows them see what they’re learning in other classes in a different way. The teacher is providing students the opportunity to share what they create; he looks for ways in which students can use their talents and bring them outside of school. The teacher has high expectations and gives all students jobs so that they can learn all skills. Compared to traditional learning, this is a model where students are learning at a different pace. Students are exploring through a process that doesn’t limit their learning with a time constraint. I would love to do something like this in my classroom, or at least try it out starting small and build up from there. As we can see in the video, it takes time to start and gather the resources needed but it also motivates teachers to use the tools that are already available to them.
