Post #10 Final Review

We have finally come down to the 10th and final post! This will be a reflection of the NMC Horizon Report for technology in higher education. It was stated that the easier types of learning technologies have been more beneficial to students such as online reading and writing. It shows how much more technology has been used in highschools since 2013. One part that impressed me was the Spreading the Digital Fluency The article says the technology can be "ineffective or distracting if they are not integrated into the learning process in meaningful ways." I can agree on this topic because I am aware of this statement being true. We were not aloud to have our cellphones our in my high school. No one liked the rule but it was made because we had no way of using our cellphones in class in an educational way. Unless we would use the phones to google for research. If the students in my highschool were aloud to use them they would never get anywork done due to watching Tikoks and snapchatting each other. Some Schools are aloud to use your phones because they have the right technolgy so they can do work from their cellphones. Another topic that is talked about is Improving the Teaching Profession and this section talked about letting students lead a class discussions. This will help students to know the material better by telling each other what they know and they will come together in the end each group tells the teachers what they all found out together. This article is full of great ways to get students and also teachers to be more involved in technology and technological ways.
