What is the difference between the traditional way of teaching and teaching through technology?
This is the topic I am going to discuss.
Sometimes when we think which way of teaching is better, we choose the second one and of course the traditional way is replaced by a new one which is helpful and enhances collaboration, creativity and interaction and communication and that is what a student needs to become a good learner.
There are some reasons why I think that the traditional way of teaching should not be used anymore.
- First, everything is learned mechanically. It doesn't give to the students the opportunity to interact, communicate.
- This way of teaching do not allow them to express their opinion and it kills creativity let's say. Everyone should be taught to think critically, to comment, to analyse, to compare, to give arguments and to be creative.
- Another disadvantage of it is that it do not teach students how to overcome obstacles. Students need to put into practice what they learn and to find solutions to their problems.
- the teacher stands at the front of the class and directs the learning. This way no student will be free to share his opinion, to talk about the lesson, to explain something using as many words as he can, to think critically and to be creative. The teacher should be the facilitator, to help students as much as possible.
what about teaching through technology?
- That is the most interesting and useful ways I have ever heard before. The teacher is a facilitator, a friend, a person with whom you can talk about everything, about your problems.
- Everyone has the opportunity to share his or her ideas and opinions, to debate, to communicate, to interact eith one another etc.
- The students have the possibility to think critically, to analyse and find a solution to a particular problem and to be creative at the same time.
- This new way of teaching help every student to interact and collaborate with one another. That is the purpose of it: to make every child a good learner and user of the language. It enhances the use of the language, communication and interaction.
What about you? What do you think about these two ways of teaching? Share your ideas. Feel free to comment on my blog.
Hello Kleona, i like the topic of you blog. I will agree with you. I think that the traditional way of teaching should be left apart because it doesn't give any positive results of better learning and what we have to do is to incorporate more technology into classroom because it can help students in many aspects of their learning process but also technology develops parts of their characters, make them more sociable and communicative, also, the most important stops them think mechanically and helps them think logically. Using technology in classroom is far the best choice that a teacher should make!!!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your opinion Ida!
DeleteOf course, technology is the best choice that a teacher should make, but they should know how to use it!
Thank you!
