"Technological resources offer innovative teachers exciting ways to enhance their pedagogy". Discuss

Ever since the Industrial Revolution there has been constant technological progress in the world. Newer and better machinery has helped people improve their quality of life in different aspects such as transport and education. In my opinion, today's teachers should profit from technology since it offers several benefits.


To begin with, plenty of teachers' resources are very easily downloaded from the Internet free of charge. Teachers just have to google "teachers' resources" or whatever they are in need of, and several hits will appear instantly. A very well-known site is the "Learning Page" where teachers may find lesson plans, free printable workssheets, activities, and so on.
Secondly, by making use of computers and the Internet in class, teachers can approach different kinds of learners at the same time. This is possible thanks to what is known as "multimedia", which combines text, images and sound to reach the receiver from several angles. Examples of this are Power Point presentations, online games and encyclopedias.


Thirdly, teachers cannot deny the fact that these days most students are fond of technology and know how to use it. Sometimes, learners handle computers much better than educators do. Therefore, if teachers are willing to capture their students' attention, a very good way for them to do so is allowing pupils to work in the computer laboratory. Doing this will increase their interest in the subject.


In contrast, some experienced teachers sustain that learning how to use a computer at their age is an arduous task and that they have been teaching for many years without what they consider to be an unnecessary resource. However, this belief is not totally valid since there are several computing and Internet courses especially designed for teachers.


All things considered, I firmly think that even though these technological tools might be slightly difficult to incorporate (both for personal and professional use), they give us creative ways to teach and work. Finally, I would like to quote Brock Brady's words: "in the 21st century computers and the Internet offer innovative teachers exciting ways to enhance their pedagogy and capture their students' attention".
