Hi everyone,
It i9s very hot in here so I don't know if I'm going to be able to write everything I want:)
Today I am going to write about the usage of technology in schools and the balance between technology and other school subjects.Can we make balance between them?
This was a topic on our forum discussion and we all agree that the use of technology in schools is neccesary,because it makes learning easier,more interesting and it saves time,but we have to know how to use it and to combine it with the other subjects.
So,we can not focus just on using technology(computers for example) and to expect from the students to learn by themselfs.We have to make a mixture between other subjects and technology,so that the children can use both computers and text books.We,the teachers have to be their guides throught online learning.But,in order to do that we have to be well prepared,attend computer coursses if neccessary,we have to be avaluable most of the time,answering to their messages and be able to help them with the process of learning.So,now in our schools,everywhere in Macedonia,computer coursses are organized to help teachers gain at least basic knowledge of computers.Otherwise,they are going to lose their job:)That's why,after finishing this coursse I am going to attend some of that computer coursses,because I don't know much about computers and I want to be a teacher:)
I also have to mention that If we only use online leraning,without traditional learning in classes we're avoiding the face-to-face contact,and there's no interaction and communication,there's no feedback provided,so we won't know if the student understands the material,does he have some problems in learning.So,that is why is important to make a balance between technology and other subjects in schools.
Another thing,theoretical knowledge can be learn using the computers,but what about practising.For example,I am going to be a teacher and we have musical education,so how are the students going to play on piano online?So,not everything can be learned online.....
Well,that's all for today:)
Have a nice day,
Jule

Interesting. You are making the summary of what we said. It can be interesting. Just don't make such long posts. Make two out of one if you must. Most people won't read long posts.
I know that that was very long,and in futureI'm going to write short posts.
