My Learning Journey

1. How do you currently incorporate technology into your teaching methods?

As someone who has been teaching and learning for the past 20 years, I always incorporate educational technologies into my teaching and learning methods. There is a common misconception that the integration of technology in the classroom can be a financial burden for school districts, but students do not necessarily need their own tablets or laptops to succeed with technology. The use of technology during whole-class instruction can foster student engagement for auditory and visual learners. Integrating simple technologies Power Points, games, internet homework assignments, or online grading systems can be difference makers in students' growth in the classroom.

2. Do different technology integration levels impact student learning experiences? If so, can you explain? 

Yes, it is crucial to understand that incorporating technology into education is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Its impact on student learning experiences can vary depending on various factors such as instructional goals, student demographics, and available resources. Virtual classrooms, augmented reality (AR), videos and other technology tools can not only make the class more interesting, but they can also develop more inclusive practices that foster cooperation and intellectual curiosity while also allowing teachers to collect data on student performance. Ultimately, the thoughtful integration of technology in alignment with pedagogical goals can maximise student engagement, comprehension, and achievement.

1. Define flipped classroom in your own words.

Flipped classroom is a teaching method where students learn about the certain topic at home by watching video prepared by the teacher. Students can learn in their own pace. It can foster students responsibility in their own learning. This teaching method also encourage students centered in class. With this teaching method, teacher can focus more to the weaker students in class. 

2. How do you think flipped classroom can be applied in your own words?

In a flipped classroom, pupils encounter learning material before the actual class. This preparation often involves watching videos or completing pre-reading assignments. Unlike the traditional model of in-class lectures followed by homework, a flipped classroom allocates in-class time to interactive discussions, problem-solving, and hands-on projects. Here, students actively engage with the material, applying concepts and deepening their understanding. The teacher’s role shifts from being the primary source of information to that of a facilitator who guides student-centered learning and encourages collaboration. As a result, the learning experience becomes more dynamic and personalized.
