My future classroom

My determination is to ensure that my future classroom will be as exciting techno-savvy environment where learning acquisition take places all over the time.

In my opinion, the simplest way is to use technology to supply classroom instruction. Technology will help to meet the demand is by allowing students to interact with information within a different medium. There are numerous multimedia programs designed to meet the special needs of diverse learners. For example, since I am going to teach ESL for primary school, my pupils would benefit from a computer program such as applets or virtual learning where they could learn the language at their own pace and get immediate feedback. This will be more interesting if the pupils are able to communicate online with the teacher in forum or chatroom.

Yesterday, I have read an article by ERIK F. STROMMEN and BRUCE LINCOLN, which describes about technology and the effect of the learning in the classroom. It is really important to realize that if we are to give our children the education necessary to succeed in our technologically intense, global future a new form of educational practice must replace our existing methods. At the same ponit we do not totally forget about traditional method, meaning to say that i would likely to integrate latest technology in our teaching and learning method. I agree with the articles that some teachers are not realize that they have allowed their schools to remain in the past, while the children have been born in the future. The result is a mismatch of learner and educator. But it is not the children who are mismatched to the schools; the schools are mismatched to the children.

In future, I also would like to see if each pupil are allowed to bring own notebook or it would be better if the authority is able to supply the pupils with computer like each pupil is provided with desk and chairs in classroom nowadays. Through this, they could spend as much time as needed on the computer, without feeling pressured to wait long in the queue to take turn using computers in the computer laboratory.

Besides, I believe that technology should be used in my future classroom to teach students on how to manage information. Our generation has commonly been referred to as living in the 'information society.' Our students must become information literate so that they will be able to gain ideas, information, doing research and completing task by taking advantages from the technology. I strongly believe that there is no better place to teach our children these skills than in the classroom.

Finally, I want to see the pupils from my classroom are also able to interact with people around the world as well as gaining experience by using their knowledge and capability in technology-thanks to technology.
