Lesson 2 technology boon or bane
The document discusses technology as both a blessing and curse depending on how it is used. When used properly, technology can enhance learning and bring people together across distances. It allows for novel teaching methods and watching live events globally. However, when used improperly, technology can be detrimental to development. It can encourage uncritical thinking, make people passive spectators, and prevent relating to others in the real world. The key is for technology to be used in a way that promotes interactive, meaningful, and team-based learning.
The Roles of Educational Technology in Learning
Educational technology can play two roles - as a teacher delivering instructional content, or as a partner in the learning process. From a constructivist perspective, technology serves as a tool for learners to construct knowledge through interaction, representation of ideas, and collaboration. It provides contexts for problem-solving and opportunities for reflection. Research shows that technology enhances learning, understanding, motivation and the development of critical thinking skills when implemented properly in a learner-centered way.

TECH TREK58 SCIENCE SCOPERecently, Bill Gates has argu.docx
TECH TREK
58 SCIENCE SCOPE
Recently, Bill Gates has argued that cell phones, not laptop computers, hold the most promise for the spread of one-to-one comput-ing, particularly for students with limited re-
sources and especially for students from developing
nations. Gates’ assertion is due to the ever-increasing
number of phones now available to the world at re-
duced cost, the growing computing power of these
devices, and their growing body of software and ap-
plications. M-learning—a nascent movement to turn
the ubiquitous devices into tools of learning—is being
led by universities. However, K–12 science teachers
are also finding that cell phones offer many exciting
options for their professional lives. Many of you may
already have experimented with having students use
a phone’s built-in camera to create video clips or video
blogs, access collaborative tools or websites, and work
cooperatively through the use of text messaging.
We recognize that in some schools cell phones have
to be turned off or perhaps kept in lockers to avoid
mis-use, but we hope to demonstrate in this article how
they can be used under super vision to assist learning.
There is no question that the uninitiated will at first look
upon the use of phones in learning with suspicion, but
this is often the case when new technologies emerge
in schools. However, the sheer proliferation of mobile
phones in today’s world makes it likely that they will
soon find a spot in the classroom alongside personal
computers, whiteboards, and the internet.
Phoning it in
Many middle school students already own cell phones,
and these devices accompany them. Even the most
basic phones are now able to support educational
functions, including the following:

TaLE-Week-7
Tabitha is conducting a senior project studying the migration patterns of hummingbirds. She sets up motion-sensitive cameras at three sites to monitor hummingbird activity. Whenever the cameras detect motion, a video is sent to her smartphone. She views the videos between classes to track hummingbird sightings. She also records weather data daily at the sites using her smartphone. Her first hummingbird sighting comes five days in, earlier than previous years. Later, she spots a hummingbird near her third site, farther from where the species was previously seen, suggesting shifting migration patterns. Tabitha uses her smartphone to access habitat maps and conduct further research.
