Using Technology In Education
Hello everyone i hope you are fine in this difficult situation. This is my first time blogging and my first post here. I find it a little bit difficult because i am not used to it yet but i think i will fit in soon.
Technology is everywhere nowdays, and especially in education system. It is a powerful tool that positively impacts learning and everyone is addicted to technology nowdays especially young generation. I think there are some pros and cons like every medal has two sides. Let's see some of them. Pros are that improves engagement, when technology is integrated into lessons students seem to be more interested in the subjects they are studying.
It encourages individual learning, collaboration with class mates.
Students can learn useful life skills through technology that will help them in the future to find better jobs etc.
Teachers can add multimedia elements to presentation like images, videos which are better to demonstrate activities with examples. Technology transforms the learning experience, students have access to an incredible amount of new opportunities.
According to my opinion students lose opportunity for socialization in real life becuase they would feel insecure to express their thoughts or opinions in public becuase they are used to express it only online on sociale networks and when it comes to participate in a debate face to face or saying an opinion.  It also can discourage creativity because they may find some pre-made activities. Technology as powerful as it is also can be a minifield of distractions.
I hope you like it and feel free to comment , let me know your opinions about that. Thank you .

Hello everyone i hope that you are in good condition and safe so here we are again on blog. Today's topic is about Cooperative learning and Gardner's theory.

When working together students of all grades achieve more academically,acquire social skills improve social realtions and like school more. Through cooperative learning we provide a positive model in our classrooms of what our society ideally can be. But what is the relation between cooperative learning and multiple intelligences?

Constructivism and DDD E model

 Hello everyone, i hope you are doing well. Today's topic is about constructivism and DDD-E model. Constructivism is a theory in education that recognises the learner's understanding and knowledge based on their own experiences. The essential is that learner actively construct their own knowledge and meaning from their experiences. Constructivist teachers motivate independent learners and develop their critical thinking. It differs from traditional classroom because learners are intereactive and student centered class. Knowledge must be applied because it is an interpretation of reality. It opens the learner's curiosity about something new, students can also build their knowledge to create and design something related to their needs. People create meaning through experience. So the teaching and learning process must be related to the practical real world so that classroom can share knowledge and experience actively. Constructivism encourage and accept students autonomy and ...

Extraordinary situation

Hello everyone, i hope you and your families are doing well in this difficult situation. This is my second post and as we had to choose a free topic i would like to write about the current situation we are living in. That is unexpected not only for us but for the whole world. We had never thought that we would live under such conditions. Restrictions are put in place around the world, the impact that it will have in our lives can be troubling and confusing. As it might continue to spread some people work from home,some go out with permission and in limited hours. Schools have already been forced to close,places where people can gather are not allowed anymore, the borders are closed for most of states allowing only humanitarian flights. Governments across the globe are taking tougher measures to contain this crisis. That is a good way to stop spreading the virus and to save lives as much as it is possible,to protect as much as we can people who are older and can't handle this situat...
