Yesterday, I had a large break in my day so I decided it
would be the perfect time to catch up on my homework. However, my internet
decided not to work and I needed the internet to do almost all of my homework.
This made me think of how important it is for educators to think about the
limitations of technology. Teachers should use technology and encourage my
students to use it, but they should be careful when giving out homework that is
dependent on technology. This could be anything from giving the students a back-up
assignment if something goes wrong or if they don’t have the technology at
home, or giving the students extra time to complete assignments at home so they
will still have more time to finish it if their power goes out or their
computer breaks.
Sigrid,
ReplyDeleteYou make an excellent point! I absolutely agree that teachers should not rely on technology for hmw. In the classroom, I understand because there are appropriate tools but it is difficult to depend on something that can quit at any given moment. Great post!
