Pre -Teaching Training Course-Technological Devices-Professor M. Nilce

Technological Devices (May 9/2008 and May 16/08)
Professor Maria Nilce emphasized that nowadays we all belong to the hightech generation. We are indeed the digital generation. We're inserted in a world, surrounded by computers, notebooks, i-pods, dateshow, pen-drives, internet, i-boards and so on.
As she argues we have to keep in mind that tech devices are only tools to help teachers. When to use it or how to use it in benefit of students, teachers will provide the answer. This modern way of teaching and learning is a result of a natural process of evolution, although, sometimes, we find teachers who resist to change instead of to try to adapt themselves, to follow the natural course of this process in order to achieve success on practice. Conflict may be constructive when its effect is to introduce different methods or techniques to deal with teacher's routine tasks.Students have an aim (to learn)and they need a motivation to keep interested day-by-day. Hightech devices can mean a big and pleasant approach.
M. Nilce also pointed out that an approach is axiomatic, a method is procedural and a technique can be implemented.
However, it's necessary to use common sense about how and how much to use these sources because, although new h.t.device means more dynamic and appealing classes, teachers must be careful before putting this method into practice.
First of all teachers must have a dominion about what they are going to teach.Also
be confident and prepare the contents well and in advance.
Hightech can also represents a time consuming that requires a special attention.
Educators must find their own ways to teach keeping in mind that students also have their own ways of learning and that each one is different from another one and carries different needs, aims and motivations.
