Use of technology in our classroom

From the lesson I have learned that in this 21^st century world the use of ICT in classroom is must as it has lots of advantages for both the teacher and the students. The use of ICT in the classroom can act as a notivating tool for both teaching and learning as it can make the class more dynamic and interesting. It can also improve the engagement of the learners through collaboration. Use of ICT in teaching and learning can be creative as the concept can be taught through various means such as videos, pictoral from and audios. All this will help the students in knowledge retention and individual learning. Moreover, it can also be used to learn important lifeskills for 21^st century.

Difference between Degital native and immagrants

We were also introduced to digital native and digital immigrants. From the lesson I have understood that digital native are the one who are grown up with technologies and who have knowledge on the use of technologies. Digital immigrants are the one who are born without the knowledge of technologies, however they learn to use it later in life. Therefore, children born nowadays are mostly digital native and we are the digital immigrants.
