Technology, is that all it
takes?




                        Dr. Mary Mwangi
                        September 1st
                        2012
Technology, is that all it
takes?


 If all that it takes for students
   to love science, math… was
 technology, students would be
   so much in love by now but,
                  no.
Technology, is that all it
takes?
If all that it takes for students to
  understand science, math… was
  technology, students would be
  showing major milestone by now
  but no.


                Why?
Technology, is that all it
takes? is not all it takes.
    That

 Don’t confuse concepts
       with strategies

 You loose students if you are
equipped with the strategies but
        lack the concept
Technology, is that all it
takes?
You loose students if you
  are equipped with the
   concept but lack the
        strategies
Technology is not a concept
  nor a strategy but a tool.
Technology, is that all it
 takes?
            Then what?
               Technology
It is perceived as a learning tool
       if it enables students to
accomplish what they could not
               accomplish,
understand what they could not
               understand,
                   and
   attempt what they could not
                 attempt.
Technology, is that all it
 takes?
Otherwise
    it is just a social media,

entertainment and

         a game tool.
Technology, is that all it
takes?
       There is a place and time
        to teach the technology
             tool, but in science,
        math… teach them how
            to use it as a tool for
                         learning.

      Teach them to question,
              investigate and
           answer who, what,
Technology, is that all it
takes?
     Maximize the use of the
  technology around you, plan.
 Save money from unnecessary
    technology purchase, plan.
Without a plan technology tool is
  just another gadget taking up
  space physically, and mentally
      and consuming money.
Thank
you
