Learning in the 21st Century Classroom”

What is technology?

The making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines,

techniques, crafts, systems, and methods of organization, in order to solve a problem,

improve a pre-existing solution to a problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied

input/output relation or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection of

such tools, including machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures.

Why do we use it?

We need technology because it helps our lives

to remain and become more easier.

Many technologies are unnecessary but sewage

systems and water system are all performed from

technology. Therefore technology

should stick around as long as possible.

What does it have to do with education?

Technology is very influential and used by billions daily. Schools use technology to promote engaging activities, independent learning, and real world connections.

How does it look in a classroom??

Are the students really learning?

–Of course!! They are not just

learning; they are

discovering,

investigating,

writing, reading,

and applying!

Are the teachers still teaching?

• Of course!! Teachers are still teaching fundamental values that technology may not give. Teachers are also facilitators, guides, and mentors!

Allow your child access to the computer, cell phone, or other

devices!!

Learn with your child! Allow him/her to teach you some things they have learned through using technology!

Become more involved!! Visit your child’s school and even learn new

things with that child!!

How can I get involved?

Apps that are very useful!!

This is the future. Are you going to be

inactive or are you to engage in the

technology available? The choice is yours!
