Why use Technology in our Classrooms ?
Integrating tech in our classroom sounded like a very off
idea recently. Having a student and a teacher in two different locations?
Attending a class on zoom? Submitting my assignment on Google classroom? Emailing
my teacher/lecturer? Having exams online? Is this possible? This is what has
been currently witnessed by a lot of students. It was something we didn’t see
coming. I understand they are some
students who were already interacted with the above platforms even before the
pandemic stuck but we have another group that has had to undergo total
revolution.
The idea of not being in a physical class and yet marking
yourself present in google classroom, lifting your hand virtually on zoom when
you have a question, clapping for your teacher or just leaving a comment in the
comment section has now become the order of the day for students when having
online classes. Seems like the pandemic just awakened the use of tech in our
classrooms.
Some of the benefits
of using tech include:
1.Better Teacher to
Student engagements.
The use of tech has enhanced easy communication since the
student can directly raise a concern they have to the teacher. This helps the
teacher understand the various learning patterns of the students. Some learning
platforms i.e. Google Classroom even provide the private comment section where
students ask queries without interfering with the entire class.
On the other hand, students are also able to engage with
each other through groups and share information with each other easily.
Learning has become more fun i.e. Use of power point presentations and game
tools such as Kahoot breaks the monotony of regular lectures.
2.Wider and Deeper
knowledge Access.
Students can now be able to acquire a lot of learning
materials online such as PDF’s, Podcasts YouTube videos and tutorials. Rather
than just relying in the printed copies available in their schools.
3.Learning out of
School made easy.
Incase a student is sick or has failed to attend a class due
to various reasons they are able to access learning material Online. This means
the student can learn from whichever location they are in and the teacher as
well is able to grade their work and follow up.
4.Portrays the real
World of Work.
Exposing students to the use of tech helps them learn a lot
when they are in school because in the real world of work they will use tech. Offices are normally filled with computers,
tablets and desktops. Little paper work is done in offices.
Probably by now you wondering what about the Cons of using
technology. I decided to concentrate on the benefits today. I agree we have had
cases of students accessing dangerous information online. This calls for proper management in schools
and at home. I believe as the world is
evolving we cannot overlook the need of use of technology. We need to embrace
it positively and use it to benefit us. Students are always using technology
why not reach them where they are at?

When we are expecting a lot from others
People are resources and some of them carry our blessings.They are needed in our lives to catapult us to the next level.They might actually be answers to the prayers we so desperately make.Here is a disclaimer!
What happens when we expect too much from them,what happens when we envision them scoring higher than what we are actually getting from them.What if their perfomance does not meet our expectation.What if they score below average and sometimes they even score zero.Quite disappointing i know.😒😒😒
Does this mean we will shatter and fall only because the people we have graded too highly are the ones scoring the least in the leaders board.What if they have decided to be in the game but taken a back seat and they are watching us from a far.What if this people are meant to receive from us and not give to us as we wish.
What if are the ones carrying the blessing and yet we have positioned ourselves on the receiving end.It is more blessed to give than receive(Acts 20:35b). How determined are you to give than receive from others.How about you start scoring higher points by giving to this people you are expecting to give to you.How about you stop putting a lot of expectations on others and start demanding a lot more from yourself.How about you chase those dreams and goals you've been so wanting to achieve this year.By the end of it all i believe you will have greater results than murmuring and grumbling about how people cant be trusted.How about you put yourself together from every disappointment you've had from people and now use all your energy on you.
Work on you and make sure you extend Love to others.
Blessed is he who expects nothing,for he shall never be disappointed ~ Alexander Pope
