When I was in science class in elementary school we did not use computers like they do today. We used chalkboards and paper and pencil. The only technology that we used was the overhead and the projector. We rarely ever used the computer, most of the activities that we did were hands on. In some of the classrooms where I have observed, students are learning science in all different kinds of ways, such as hands on and digitally.
Within the first week of class, I realized that we are not teaching to the same kind of students that I once was, we are teaching to digital learners. There will no longer be paper and pencil tests or assignments in the classrooms, everything is going to be done online. We are learning to become digital teachers. We are learning new strategies and techniques that will better help us teach to our students in the future. With the new strategies that we are learning, we will be better able to help and assist our students in the classroom, this will result in students being more engaged in learning. Since most students spend most of their time doing activities that involve some kind of technology it only makes sense that we use technology in the classroom to grab the students attention.
