Dear educators. How are you today? I hope you are good.
Teaching is a scholarly process undertaken by teachers so that students master expected competencies. Along with the development of using computers and information technology in the classroom, the field of education is experiencing a paradigm shift. Learning is not just a simple process of transferring knowledge from teacher to student. If students are going to learn, innovation and creativity are needed to find new techniques to teach. Teaching today includeds advanced skills and teaching techniques to transfer of knowledge. The current learning environment is expected to foster students' character, encourage them to seek knowledge, and even find their own concepts to learn about.
Utilization of information aids lik computer technology in learning has expanded since the early 2000s. This shift occured because of the rapid groth and adoption of technology in the world of education. Various technological devices can have positive learning outcomes. Computers, cell phones, tablets, etc. can be designed to facilitate the learning process in school. Conventional learning facilities are being replaced by technological ones.
The shift to using technology in the world of education has been quick. A majority of todays educational resources has been digitized. The same with learning. Modern classrooms can take place digitally. Digital devices are starting to emerge to allow students to learn online. Students are now familiar with digital books, digital classrooms, and digital learning assessments. Digital learning can take place using these digital tools to assist in the learning process.
One the most modern digital products that can be used in learning is the utilization of Android cell phones. The majority of people who own cell phones are generally using them for communication purposes. Smart phones have been very helpful for multitasking and teaching students. In some countries only a small percentage of teachers who are able to take advantage of Android technology in learning.
As one of the teachers who owns Android, the author of this post uses it in teaching others. Androids can be used for more than just media presentations. More than that, cell phones can make lessons interactive and attractive. Technology sources are now used as a substitute for the blackboard to help explain concepts and problem solving without using the blackboard. An android is connected wirelessly to the projector to show large groups of students their lessons.
In order to display the teaching media found on Androids to a larger screen, I can use a projector wirelessly. There are several programs I can use including google chrome cast, Ez cast, Anycast, and others. There are some Android tools that can directly connect to the projector, and other Android tools that require supporting applications. These applications include Smart View and Miracast. If it is connected, then the teacher can use it for teaching easily.
If an Android device has a pen, then the smart phone can be used as a whiteboard where a teacher can doodle. This is very useful to facilitate teachers, especially science teachers in solving science problems. The use of Android phones for teaching and learning is very helpful to teachers. In addition, this technology is in accordance with local mandates for our curriculum. Technology facilitates teachers in learning and need to mastered these tools instead of avoiding them.
