The Final Frontier

For this assignment we were instructed to read the article "Teacher Pedagogical Beliefs: The Final Frontier in Our Quest for Technology Integration?" After reading the article we were grouped together to make a power point presentation on google drive on what the article was about and how Technology should be used in the classroom and provoke people about the good side of the use of technology.

The article discusses how teachers use technology in the classroom and the different ways technology is a good thing to use in the classroom. It also discusses different teachers and statics and how they use technology in their classroom. It discusses different beliefs in other classrooms and the knowledge of teachers and their use of technology.

After being grouped together and collaborating with the group I realized that we all better understood the article better. After collaborating we all worked together and did our part of the presentation. We even discusses getting online at the same time so we could all work on the power point together and make comments to each other if we had questions. It was a good experience because we all worked together and did our parts and helped each other.

In our presentation we discussed the types of classrooms and the types of teachers beliefs. We also included the teachers experience with technology in the classroom and their thoughts. We added a chart of the statics from the article along with a video on the ten best reasons to use technology in the classroom. We added links to outside sources and finished the presentation with our thoughts on the use of technology.

  1. The statistics and video were great tools in your presentation. It was definitely a "call to action" towards making a change into a new technological era. And its great that working with a group helped you understand the article better, and be able to pull all important information out.

  3. I couldn't see your PowerPoint probably because my internet isn't working. I think it's cool that you guys collaborated about the article and understood it after. Our class hasn't worked together on a project yet but, I’m sure it would be complicated at first.
