This is my thought on how technology is going to affect the students and how me, as a teacher will be learning.
At the moment, i am thinking about learning in 3D laboratory. what i mean here is students just have not to listen to lecture and taking notes but they can feel the joy of learning in the real situation of what they are learning on. Let me put this in an example, as primary school pupils are learning about wild animals, especially those animals which are going to be extincted, the teacher may prepare the students with materials that can be presented in the 3D laboratory, such as the habitat of wild animals in Africa. I am wondering whether this kind of laboratory is existed or not. There are many reasons for this kind of application to be highlighted .
I believe that many of us may argue that it is better to bring the pupils into the real environment compared to the 3D laboratory. i totally agree but if the environment is harmful (wild animals) or poisonous (chemical stuffs), it is better to use technology of 3D instead of the real nature. As i surfed the internet, Barney Dalgarno, Lecturer in Information Technology of Charles Sturt University agrees that the 3D virtual learning environment has a big potential in educational method, "the 3D environments, which have become almost ubiquitous within the computer games industry, have the potential to harness these technological developments and facilitate new levels of learner-learner and learner-computer interaction".
I agree that technology is changing our life. In term of teaching and learning process, technology really gives us benefits. through technology, i can easily get knowledge and keep in touch with friends universally, sharing ideas to upgrade our related knowledge. What i mean here is current software application, method of teaching, and latest skills that is really help for our job. At this point, we can always ask and share with one another in chat room and forum. Through this, teacher are exposed to the other's style of learning and teaching. At this point, i feel that teacher should urge themselves to improve skills and knowledge in technology through short course, reading, workshop, etc. This is for the sake of the students achievement and their overall performance.
In the end, even though we are moving into sophisticated technology, i still believe that traditional method like flashcard and OHP are always have their own benefits especially when the failure of technology happen.
