Subject: task 4- Individual activity

Task 4

Technology in the classroom is not the only way to motivate students, but new pedagogical approaches are maybe a better form to help the learning process and can also be a motivational tool for students who are so used to with technology.
It is part of the teacher’s role to help students to learn with motivation. But by bringing the technology to the classroom or even adopting any digital gadget for a task to be done in or out the classroom, won’t be helpful for students’ lack of interest in the classroom, because anything that is done in the classroom needs to have a clear pedagogical reason in order to work properly. Just to bring or to take any digital technology to class won’t be the solution for better educational practice. Technology has to be adopted wisely in the classroom, so teachers need to have a purpose in mind and a goal to achieve, for example: in order to get something done in a faster way; to help students or teachers to accomplish something; as a way to entertainer the class (to show videos, locations, to illustrate better something); to complete a difficult task or to generate ideas; etc. A lot of things can be done when technology is available, but one of the most important reasons to adopt technology in the classroom, it is to make classes even richer for students to visualize. But once more I state, it is extremely relevant that teachers develop a planning where technology is just a way of making our lives easier and more colorful, and then teachers and students together in that social environment that is the classroom, will be able to build the learning process with pleasure.
