Notes.

I really hate jotting em down, it'd be great help if I am allowed to concentrate freely during the lecture and then have a soft copy of the important points(wrt to that particular lecture) mailed to me.

I'll just go home, have a look at it once and viola! I'm ready for the exams!

One problem my sixth graders face yet don’t overcome is somewhat easily solved with existing technology is what to do when they’re home sick and can’t come to class. Too often they show up the next day with zilch, and that shouldn’t happen, so they sit there like the did in elementary school - their desk is blank and they seem to think because they were absent, they aren’t responsible for anything. Arrrrgh.

Students fail to take advantage of the tools I’ve created for them. Each day post the previous nigh’t homework into a class website for them to correct their own homework. They can do that from home.* Also posted is that current day’s PDF of what was taught. While it’s a bit tough for students this age to follow, at least it should give them an idea of what to do for that night’s homework.* Way too few students take advantage of these tools for them. All I ask of them is to come to class the next day with at least the problems written so they can then correct them in class when they do return.

*Clearly, if the student is really too sick to do any of this work then they should be excused from doing much or most or all of that work. But, some kids are not that ill, so they should be expected to do something to try and keep pace.

That is not a good question, as written. Replace the nouns to see if it makes sense:

“Does food help or harm people?”

“Do dogs help or harm people?”

“Do pencils help or harm students?”

It is too simplistic of a question to have a worthwhile answer. Technology is a tool. A tool can be beneficial or harmful depending on how it is used.

First we have to start by defining what we mean by technology. Technology is simply the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. As a teacher, I base the choices I make in the classroom on science. I have studied how the brain learns and I teach in ways that best align with the learning process. That is technology. As a trained educator, I have access to that technology. It doesn’t need to involve any physical objects.

But I don’t think that was your intent. I think when you say technology in the classroom you want to know about the use of things like computers and portable devices in the classroom. That kind of technology in the classroom is not essential. There isn’t a subject in the curriculum that I can’t teach you using a simple blackboard (which hasn’t been considered technology since around the time James Pillan hung a piece of slate on his classroom wall in 1801). Through the use of my voice and visuals created on that chalkboard and activities that I have you perform with your own piece of slate or paper, I can teach you everything you need to know.

But that doesn’t meant there aren’t ways to use technology to enhance the learning experience. A good teacher understands the importance of variety and the importance of interaction. We need the students to be engaged in the learning process and making choices about what to click on on an electronic device is one way to do that.

In my classroom, we sometimes use an electronic system through which each student has a small device that’s like a remote control or “clicker”. It has buttons on it (e.g. yes/no, the letters A-E) and in the lessons we ask the students to use that device to respond to questions. That technology is incorporated into a PowerPoint presentation that the instructor uses and the student responses can guide the direction we travel, as a group. Technology makes those classes better.

I teach a class about the Saturn V rocket to new astronauts. We walk around the actual giant rocket and I carry an iPad on which I can show the students visuals that help convey the ideas I am discussing. Technology makes that class better.

Reflection and self-study is an important part of the learning process. Technology can be very helpful here. We can create activities that a student can complete on an electronic device to increase their skills and to assess their understanding. Those are good uses of technology.

But technology can also be a hindrance. It can be a distraction. When I teach in the classroom, there is a firm rule that laptops be closed and devices be off. If you open your laptop to look at an e-mail, the class comes to a screeching halt and I stare at you until you close that damn laptop. I have this policy because I know that multi-tasking is a myth. We don’t multi-task, we switch-task. If a student is switch-tasking, their ability to learn is greatly degraded, so I can’t allow it to happen.

Dependence on technology can be a problem. Projector bulbs fail. Internet goes down. Codecs fail to work. Software crashes. Budgets aren’t set aside for maintenance. Instructors have to put a lot of thought into whether the benefits of use of technology outweigh the risks for each specific scenario.

Outside of technology as used by the instructor is the larger arena of technology as part of life. As great as electronic devices can be, they also damage the brains of people. People who have grown up with ever present devices have rewired their brains such that they have shorter attention span and sometimes addictive craving for device provided stimulus. These people have become inferior people who are harder to educate. It is essential for parents to manage the use of devices such that the child gets enough use to be adept at using them (because that’s necessary for modern life) but also that they spend more time separated from the devices than with the devices such that they don’t develop a dependency.

So, there is no easy yes/no general answer to the question, as it has been asked.

It gives everyone the handwriting skills of a 44 year old doctor writing a prescription.

If all you ever do is use a keyboard, and you don’t develop handwriting skills, unless you are intentionally going out of your way to pursue calligraphy? Your handwriting skills probably suck.

So keyboards have more or less destroyed handwriting.

Calculators, even on cell phones, have destroyed the ability to do even basic math by hand, or in your head. Personally, I don’t count any basic math done outside your head as being a skill; knowing a process is not the same as knowing a subject.

Using Wikipedia, instead of a paper encyclopedia, has you missing out on a lot of what you would have learned otherwise.

Physics or chemistry demonstrations beat the holy heck out of computer simulation of the same. Seeing a pendulum on a screen, vs. seeing a bowling ball on the end of a cable, coming towards your face, are entirely different experiences.

Those are just obvious fails of technology in classrooms.

NOT AGAIN!!!! How many times must we be obliged to answer the same question rendered in differing wording?

FFS!!!! Didn’t you look with the SEARCH facility before typing this drivel for the nth time?

Fuck off and look now.

Oh, and you didn’t define “traditional” methods and WHICH technology? Fibre-tipped pens didn’t exist until the end of the 1960s, but now look at them! Some of the “new” methods in the 1960s, were re-releases of the Socratean method from “ancient” Greece, 2400 years ago.

Since you seem to be a congenital idiot, or incipiently lazy, here, these popped up on YOUR question, though since no form of education appears to work on you traditional or not, I may be wasting my time:

Having a language deficit in the target language creates many problems for students. Having communication skills, but lacking academic language skills is another problem.

Lack of consistent discipline from teachers and staff creates false expectations for students. If they get away with things in one person’s class, why can’t they get away with them in another person’s class. One of my students complained that is former English Language Arts teacher was a wonderful person who let the students do whatever they wanted to do unless it drew negative attention to the room. He’d post lookouts to keep watch for administrators or monitors so that the class had time to assemble and look busy if someone showed up.

Lack of consistent grading standards confuses students. That same student complained to his counselor that his former teacher knew how to grade him properly. As an example, he brought a paper he’d written to show her as evidence. The prompt was: “Describe the best day of your life.” The student has written: “The best day of my life was when…” He’d stopped writing there. The teacher had graded his paper as earning a B. He couldn’t understand that I was looking for complete sentences and whole paragraphs because it was too much trouble to write them.

Lack of parental involvement is a killer. Many students came to class saying that their parents don’t care about them and that school means nothing to them. At times when I contacted some of those parents, they were outraged to learn I’d been told that. It was difficult to know if the students truly believed what they were saying or it was a deflection intended to keep me from contacting the parents. However, parents who do not speak or understand the language of the school are often afraid to participate with staff members for fear of being regarded as lesser members of society. Lack of formal education can also mean they can’t help students with their assignments.

Family obligations outside of school may require students to work or take care of other siblings for so long that they have no time left for studying or doing homework, let alone having a social life.

Students who’ve been bullied or otherwise feel unsafe at school will have difficulty remaining focused on the work because they are too busy worrying about staying alive long enough to return home.

Fear of failure keeps students from attempting assignments that might cause them to look bad. Similarly, fear of being thought stupid keeps them from asking questions or requesting help.

Learning disabilities make some students feel isolated. They’re ashamed of their difficulties and imagine that they’re the only ones experiencing those conditions. Their shame keeps them from receiving help. For others, the shame the parents feel prevents them from allowing their children to be tested and helped.

False expectations about what the school environment is like or should be like hurts many students. Media portrayals of classrooms have very little to do with the reality of life in a classroom because real life is not as dramatic or comedic as the media portrays it to be. This causes students to come to class expecting distractions and power games against the teachers because teachers are not really trying to help them learn or are too incompetent to teach them anything.

There is many distractions and different type of priorities. It is hard to balance everything. It’s possible to party every weekend, get drunk & not pay too much attention to his grades. There’s also the presence of men & women for dating.

All the activities organized by your student organization, your roommates, all the reasons are good for not studying and procrastinate. Isolation can even happen because despite the abundance of offers, it still takes the rightful disposition to expose yourself where the action is.

Seasonal affective disorder is one difficulty among many that can occur. When the light becomes scarce and the day ends sooner everyday it hits a bit on the secretion of melatonin and the level of good moods.

School is full of people, many interactions can be beneficial but some people can push you down too. It’s important to know what you want. Is just getting the minimum to pass your objective?

Usually there should be many sport facilities so you can exercise which is super important coupled with intellectual activity.

I made the mistake to only concentrate on grades. Yes it is very important but not to the point of forgetting everything around me. It is possible to get good grades and go to a party once in a while.

There are 3 common problems that teachers see.

1. Students seeking an excessive amount of attention. They yell out answers, raise their hands even if they don’t know the answer, make bad jokes that only a few find even a little bit funny, etc.
2. Disruptive students. They get out of their seat to bother other students. Talk excessively which prevents the teacher from teaching. Throw paper at others. Gets out of their seat to write on the board.
3. Defiant students. They refuse to do their work or follow rules. If they are on their phone repeatedly, they won’t give it to the teacher when asked. They get angry when confronted.

If you are becoming a new teacher, you should plan ahead on how you are going to respond to each type. Review these with peers, other teachers, and especially the teachers at your college.

I was in school before computers and the internet. We had to physically write through 6th. In college, we had InfoTrac (?) to find research sources we needed from professional journals and print books.

I saw in my 20 something nephews the inability to write legibly and lack of physical or even imaginitive effort to seek out Research when doing papers.

Lastly, there is the loss of Reading for Enjoyment. I work in an Elementary School. Our Librarian was teaching the 4th, 5th and 6th graders how to research and write Essays. Our small school library is limited in the Non Fiction area. She was shocked and horrified that many of her students at 9+ had never been inside the Public Library that is a half a mile from the school.

She did a survey of all students 1st-6th. She found less than 1/3 used the Public Library.

On the one hand it is better for students to use technology and learn more information. With the help of technology they can learn everything faster. Internet is full of new information every day, and for students it is the best way to be acknowledged about everything. Teachers assign homework every day and it is easier to find the needed information quickly. If students had to search everything in books, it would take hours from them to find needed information. Thus, with the help of technology they can find the summarized version of information and learn it faster than usual. Now students can easily write essays by typing and take exams only using computer.

On the other hand new technology doesn’t help students to learn, in the opposite of that distracts them from learning. Now there are many social websites, which are used by every student. During studying students get distracted by getting messages or calls from social websites. Instead of looking for some information, they start to text with friends. Technology doesn’t allow students to concentrate. It also contains incorrect and impolite information in the internet, which won’t help students to study. In this case it is better to learn things from books. Another thing that technology doesn’t help students to learn is that it can cause health problems. Using technology all the time can harm vision and cause psychological problems. All students use internet, when they finish classes, but using it during classes will be too much. They also can easily plagiarize from the internet, which won't allow them to think on their own way.

In short, I think that with the help of technology students can actually learn more information and learn it more quickly. As I mentioned above in the internet students can find the summarized version of information, which allows them to learn quickly. It will be easier for them to do homework with the help of computer, such as translate new words and writing essays. Therefore, modern technology improves students' way of learning.

We should never neglect problems that children face in school just because they are common in the pre-teen and teenage years. Following are the top 5 problems that, if ignored constantly, can lead to an increase in fearful behavior or a physical or mental breakdown. On the brighter side, they can be easily fixed, the sooner you encounter them.

• Missing breakfast is one of the major concerns of school students. Amidst the fear of missing those early morning sessions, students tend to skip their breakfast which is an important meal of the day. After overnight fasting, their growing bodies especially need good food to boost their energy level and alertness which they are not letting happen, so they need to say a strict ‘no-no’ to this particular habit before it starts adversely affecting their health.
• Most of the students burn the midnight oil trying to brush up on lengthy portions during exams. Poor and ineffective sleep that they run into, triggers their level of anxiety and stress very badly. In the end, the effort may even seem worthless when their mind ‘blackouts’ wouldn’t let them properly recall what they studied the previous night.
• At school, students are tempted to open Facebook or Twitter, or Instagram accounts. Social media not only distracts their concentration but they can play with students' fickle minds to any extent.
• Sometimes trendsetting learning apps could be a strong factor in making them overconfident. They might begin to think that bunking classes is no big deal, downloading one app can simply offset their loss where it can be a major blunder instead. The sooner they realize that following the interactive classroom sessions, taking notes, and being physically present during the class hours can fetch them better grades, the better it is. Physical connection with teachers and peers can help students acquire scholarships and recognitions to perform well even outside the school.
• It is possible that a child is being bullied in school. In such a case, it is best to approach and speak to the class teacher. In case the bully doesn’t stop, you must try and involve a head teacher and discuss the same with them. You may also note down and make certain suggestions that may be helpful for the school in the future.

Here are some common problems that students face with their respective solutions:

• Inferiority Complex: It can be solved if teachers treat all students equally, irrespective of their grades and marking.
• Lack of engagement: Students hate boring classes which is why this happens. Interactive activities and discussions can grab their attention.
• Difficulty understanding concepts: Explaining concepts to students from its ABCs is essential to strengthen their base and solve this problem.
• Procrastination: Instead of giving homework in bulk, schools should equip students with smaller, manageable chunks.
• Time management issues: Teachers should teach time management techniques, such as prioritizing tasks and creating schedules.

Test anxiety: Don’t pressurize students. Instead, motivate them with some positive examples.

No.

The students today have a tendency to think that the World is supposed to jump at their call and entertain them. There is a surprising number that behave as though a lesson were an introduction, an outline to a topic and it isn’t important to pay attention, just sit there and wait for the adverts. Then they come over all surprised when given a task to do a calculation on the content of the lesson, or, horrors! KNOW something. Many can sit quietly, but are disconnecting from the learning process “because the teacher hasn’t made it interesting”, then they expect individual tuition during what remains of the lesson, trying to string out the tasks until there is no more time in which the teacher can expect them to do anything difficult.

Hope this helps:

Simply enjoy the great journey.

Yes.

When I earned my Master’s in Education Technology we mostly talked about Technology / Pedagogy / Content. You are looking to make these work well together. Like in mathematics I would use Geogebra with Geometry moving constructions; it helped student understanding. And there are ideas like “flipping” instruction where students watch a lecture at home and then do the homework in class. Which we’ve been doing forever in English (read the book at home, discuss in school) but is easier to do now in mathematics.

However, you will often see people using technology for the sake of using technology. Go do a webquest, tweet about the lecture, yada yada yada. This can get in the way of learning. And if you just go tell them to work on tech without monitoring… ha ha ha.

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) Framework - Educational Technology

The layers of reasoning here are like an onion. It starts because to take ownership of student-centered learning is to take ownership of what teachers call a growth mindset, which assumes that students will grapple, FAIL, and then learn to reflect and adapt based on analysis of that failure, which is both a painful process that this generation of students have often never encountered before, and which is not at all like culture outside of school, where instant gratification is easily available through devices, and reinforced through a lack of parental willingness to push past that and teach both boredom and failure as positive parts of growth, and also TRULY be resourced and supported by PARENTS to effectively ban or limit use of such devices, perhaps through such drastic measures as cell signal blockers in all schools (currently, by the way, my students do not put away their phones because their parents want to text them all day and refuse to send their kids to school in the first place if we threaten to disrupt this process).

But ultimately, it is because they can.

Students who resist learner-centered teaching are increasingly supported by both political pressures and parental beliefs, both of which hold the teacher - not the student - responsible for any lack of learning. New technologies which create immediate feedback loops between student output and parental notification support this - a student who wants to resist student-centered learning need only hold on to that thought until the first progress report (in our district, a five week window). The political demand for “transparency” and data -cycling in the learning process has created cycles SO short that they dishonor the fact that learner-centered teaching takes TIME, and will not always be successful in a particular window.

In short: why should students, who are by DEFINITION still not mature enough to be intrinsically motivated by delayed gratification of learning,. bother to learn to learn, when everything else in culture signals that the OPPOSITE is the path forward - both during the school day (phones and peer reinforcement, plus admin urging teachers to “make things more relevant and “catchy” and urging students to “just do the work”, as if an attempt were the same as learning), and after and outside of school (at home, and on the streets, where near norms reward talent, not grappling, and are keyed to disincentivize real struggle for myth-making on devices and short-term “gratify or turn it off to the next channel/game)? When parents of this generation believe that teachers, not students, are the ones who are supposed to be “doing the work” of school - and when their kids fail, see the teachers as blameworthy, and refuse to hold their own selves and children responsible for the work of learning?

This is beyond the question…but it is worth noting nonetheless: this resistance cannot be addressed INSIDE schools, because it assumes the school is already the loser here, and thus “we” in schools have NO leverage to convince students otherwise. We cannot FAIL students any more; when we do, because of how the political assumptions here are framed, admin must manage this as if we did not do the right due diligence for parents to do things that parents no longer do. If we want to fix this, then, we MUST stop asking schools to do it. These are EXTERNAL pressures, that students carry INTO schools, and can stand on while IN those schools. It’s time for culture to hold PARENTS and TAXPAYERS responsible for the fact that they send kids to school armed to resist, and with ammunition from those taxpayers and parents to DO SO. We must disarm those parents - and schools cannot do that, as they are on the other side of the battlefield.

I'm not a teacher, but there were several common issues with students in classrooms that I experienced myself.

1. Some students just pick certain subjects they want to take, simply because their mate(s) are in that class.
2. Some students just waste too much time socialising with their mates and definitely too much time on their phones. This causes them to do less work and often cause a lot of distress for teachers.
3. Some students who just cause problems sometimes like to annoy, or distract the ones that are actually trying to do the work.

Students choosing certain subjects simply because their mates are in that class was a common issue, because they have the opportunity to just socialise with them and cause problems.

Technology enhances the learning experience of students in various ways:

Access to Information :- Technology provides students with instant access to a vast amount of information through the internet, allowing them to research topics, explore different perspectives, and deepen their understanding of subjects.

Interactive Learning:- Educational apps, multimedia presentations, and simulations engage students in interactive learning experiences, making complex concepts easier to grasp and retaining information better.

Personalized Learning:- Adaptive learning platforms and AI-driven tools can tailor educational content to individual student needs, pacing, and learning styles, providing personalized learning experiences that cater to diverse abilities and interests.

Collaboration and Communication:- Technology enables students to collaborate with peers and educators both locally and globally through online platforms, video conferencing, and social media, fostering teamwork, communication skills, and cultural awareness.

Remote Learning: - Especially relevant in recent times, technology allows for remote learning, enabling students to access education from anywhere with an internet connection, ensuring continuity of learning during disruptions like pandemics or natural disasters.

Feedback and Assessment: - Digital tools streamline the assessment process by providing immediate feedback on assignments, quizzes, and tests, helping students identify areas for improvement and allowing educators to adjust teaching strategies accordingly.

Multimedia Resources:- Educational videos, interactive diagrams, podcasts, and other multimedia resources enhance traditional teaching materials, making learning more engaging, memorable, and accessible to diverse learners.

Overall, technology empowers students to become active participants in their learning journey, fostering critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and digital literacy skills essential for success in the 21st century.

The common problem is that they can’t focus well on their studies. The solution is to avoid distraction. Choose your location wisely.

Technology has shown a positive impact on students and the education system. It helps the students to get exposure to technology and create a better understanding of concepts that helps in their growth and development. The use of technology in the classroom will definitely improve students' learning in many ways such as:

• Engagement

Using technology in the classroom helps to improve the engagement of students in the classroom. Technology, such as interactive whiteboards, games, and simulations, can engage students and make learning more interactive and fun. The more interactive and fun a classroom environment is, the more students will stay engaged with it.

• Access to information

Learning is all about gathering information and knowledge. Interactive classrooms encourage students to learn more and with the help of technology, students tend to have easier access to a lot of information. Technology provides students with instant access to a vast amount of information and resources, which can help to expand their knowledge and understanding.

• Personalized learning

Every student is different and thus requires different time to understand, learn and adapt to new things and information. Technology helps students to learn at their own pace and create a better understanding of the concepts. Technology can be used to deliver personalized learning experiences to students, allowing them to work at their own pace and focus on their areas of need.

• Assessment and feedback

Assessing the knowledge and timely feedback of students is really important for their growth and development. Technology can provide immediate and ongoing assessments and feedback, allowing students to track their progress and identify areas for improvement. With the identification of areas of improvement students and teachers can work together to improve them and help students grow.

• Collaboration

Technology has made collaborations easier, students can easily collaborate among themselves and work in groups even if they are not present physically. Collaborating with different students helps students develop multiple skills such as teamwork, leadership qualities, and many more.

• Productivity

Access to technology has helped in improving the productivity of students. Every tool they require to gather knowledge, analyze it, and many other things. Technology has helped teachers to manage their students' performance and work easily with the help of LMS. Teachers can easily manage their tasks, push due dates, and do other things.

• Future Ready

Technology is growing at a very fast pace and it is becoming a part of every profession, and everyone today should be able to use it and have technical skills to work on it and grow. Including technology in the classroom will make the students future ready.

Overall, including technology in the classroom has a very positive impact on the classroom environment as well as it is really helpful in improving the student's weak areas. Technology has the potential to build a great future for students and for this technology should be added to classrooms to help them improve, learn and grow.

What are the least three major problems which students face in their studies? What are some ways which they can be tackled?

Three things I remember from college:

1. The laptop that invariably is ready to have a dead battery, but you jump up to get the cord and while plugging it in, it goes dead. You were smart and saved, but lost the last two paragraphs or so. ☆ - manually save the work before jumping up to grab the charger, even auto saves may not grab those last couple paragraphs.
2. Building study groups. I'm sure this is better now than when I attended, but getting people together then for studying was hell. ☆ - I'm sure the rise in social media and communication apps (for people with unhacked devices) makes this a breeze nowadays.
3. Eating and sleeping properly/taking care of their health. I missed nights to studying and ended up occasionally missing the classes for which I was studying because I was flat exhausted. Stay healthy (I'm sure this has improved or at least more people are aware since Covid). ☆ - Pay attention to your body and what it needs. When you're exerting so much mental and physical energy on life, your body needs all the help it can get.

Nothing I say is fact and/or advice. This are just a few things I wish I would have had someone tell me ten years ago.

High school classrooms can sometimes feel like a rollercoaster. One common issue is the disengagement vibe. Spice things up with interactive lessons; think less snooze-fest, more show-and-tell. If disruptive behavior is trying to steal the spotlight, set clear expectations and rock that positive teacher-student connection. Academic struggles? Hit 'em with different teaching styles, like the DJ of education. Tech tools and real-world examples? Drop the mic on confusion. Sprinkle in some growth mindset vibes to make challenges feel like the cool plot twists they are. Oh, and keeping the parent-teacher hotline blinging can do wonders. It's all about that chill classroom groove. 🤘✌️

I’ve taught as both a full time teacher and as adjunct faculty in a community college over many years. The first pain point is a growing number of students who do not have college- level skills. They read poorly, they write even more poorly. What does a caring teacher do with that? How do I assign any reading if they can't read and do I stop teaching the history curriculum and turn it into a remedial reading and writing class ? These students genuinely care and they genuinely cannot engage the class lacking the skills to do so. They come to class, they attend to class but unable to read and write how do they pass the class? That's a pain point - I'm in pain for those students and in pain because I don’t know what to do about it.

Then I'd say it's a growing host of students who enroll in college without any serious interest in their classes and who do little to disguise that. They don't show up for class, they disregard school policy in regard to attendance placing an instructor in an untenable position. They don't complete assigned work by deadlines and do very slipshod work at best - but yet expect a B in the class. They will invest their effort in long- winded explanations of rare and uncurable illnesses with which they've been burdened and stories of broken down cars making it impossible for them to get to campus - and because of this they should be given a B in the class. I should take that into full account they say - that they would do good work if they were able to get to class. I should give them a good grade because they have declared their good intentions. They think they are fair and open-minded in that they are asking for a B and not an A. That they will accept a B is - they say- sufficient downgrading - because they would have come to class and completed assignments if they had been able to. As they are a victim of circumstances, they should have the B - it's justice as they explain it to me. I am unjust if I don't give them a B.

The most pain though - it’s the students of whom those things are quite true. They have very challenged lives - single mothers with two children and two jobs and the real illness of a child makes it impossible for them to attend class. A demanding employer requires them to stay late at work and is uncaring that they are taking classes. An unexpected expense leaves them without bus money to get to school. They can't afford to repair their broken down car. They certainly cannot do assignments after working two jobs and parenting two children, they cannot prepare for tests. They have reasonable skills - they read well enough and could write well enough if they had time to do either. They are working two jobs to have money for tuition and they desperately want a B in the class because they are taking classes in the hope an education will let them break free of the endless struggles with which they contend.

Those are my three pain points but the third group of students cause the most pain of all.

Most students are using technology everyday and are very skilled at using their phones, and other gadgetry. So, there is an expectation for teachers to use technology. You can build technology into lessons through the teaching inputs, using the electronic whiteboards, and other software. Some of your lessons can be conducted online. For example, using a student-centred activity where students find out information for a topic, or answer a piece of work you have put onto the school or college intranet. Note also, I suggest using the school/college intranet to upload lesson notes and slides so students can access information after the lesson. There are also lots of educational web sites which have useful knowledge, quizzes, and other information. Try and build up a list of references as you find good resources.

Here is another answer that may be useful.

A pencil is a classroom technology. So is paper. So are classrooms (we could all just huddle under a tree). So are whiteboards (and their predecessors, chalk boards).

“Technology” is just a fancy word for “tools.” There’s nothing wrong with using tools to help people learn. You’re using one right now, by posting a question on Quora, a fancy web-app on the Internet, a fancy network of computers.

You’re swimming in technology. Technology, writ large, is not the problem. To find out if particular technologies help or detract, you have to test them separately. And, even then, you have to take factors about the learners into account. Some things work for some that don’t work for others. There are likely age, gender, a socio-economic factors to explore.

The biggest challenge today with our students is peer pressure bullying drugs alcohol and their parents seem not to care their parents are afraid of their kids their parents do not have enough ground quality to raise the kids properly this is why kids control their families the hang around other kids with no rules do whatever they want to do say whatever they want to say and they bring it back to their home kids nowadays this day and time we give kids too much space too much time let them run the streets do whatever they want to do I'm talking about Kids 2 years on up I see kids running the street all the time of night by themselves and the mother be sitting home doing nothing a treat and talk back at her call her all kinds of names they do drugs they end out of jail and she's not trying to take control of the situation kisses then time has really went a while there's not enough love because parents are so busy and loving themselves her babies but don't train them at the right way and it's very sad how we as parents don't take time to raise our kids properly don't sit down and talk to our kids like we should how did you how did your day go did you have a nice time in school we don't have communication with our kids we don't talk to our kids we yell at them talk down on them this is why kids the way they are today kids need love they need affection they need attention from their mother and their father that's first in their lives I feel it's very sad how people coming to this world Never Been Loved never been taught love never had a hug always was the little talk down on using curse words profanity toward their kids and we wonder why kids do the things they do we scar these kids Everyday by the words that we see how we talk to them they actually scarred and I think once they're scarred you're paying the way for evening is to step into step in to their lives and we need to do better we need to act better be more responsible for our children they are the future we cannot let kids do whatever they want to do it has to come a stopping point we have to set ground and boundaries we must take hold of our children and let them know that we love you we care for you what is it that you need for me to do or you need for me to change ask questions ask your kids questions yes you are paying the bills that's a good thing you have to pay the bills anyway because you have them they didn't have themselves but talk to your kids and ask them what is it that you see me doing wrong what you don't like seeing me doing did they let you know yes I understand that you're an adult but you do have kids and what the really think of what we say and how we say it then they are the future so let's take a whole lot of kids right now before it's late before it becomes too late it becomes a nightmare and you will be stuck in a room wondering what did I go wrong you will know where you went wrong what you did wrong and how you did it these are the children for the future we must take hold of them so as they grow older in life they want one of them in prison or dead that makes them better out of their life so let's hold on family let's move forward and let's do what's right I love you all have a safe day and please share this message I appreciate you and everything that you do I love you all be safe

It definitely depends. Technology can be such a wonderful thing, but it can also just be another reason to avoid work. If a student is interested about what they are learning, technology opens up a whole new world to them! They have access to everything about that topic at their fingertips, complied in such a way that even a book could not master.

If the student is bored with whatever they are learning, they will probably escape through social media, youtube, messaging systems, and online games. However, that is not all that different from avoiding reading a book or blocking out what a teacher is saying.

I do believe that technology offers a truly unique way to engage in classroom activities, but also do not believe the class should rely solely on technology. To appeal to all types of learners, and to absorb more information on the topic, a multi systematic education approach is necessary. You need to mix individual work on worksheets, partner labs, and group projects, class videos, student presentations, teacher lectures, visitors, music that reflects the material, visual sources, and hands on experience through doing an experiment that models the material, or even visiting somewhere to see the concept in action. Students learn different ways, and even those who do well online can easily get bored of the material and decide to cheat or write off the assignments. Mixing it up teaches to all students strengths and helps them to enjoy class (which makes it more likely that they will learn).
