[edit]My Philosophy
Technology plays an important role in the lives of our children today, it has become a dominant part of our society, therefore in the 21st century, it’s important that we utilize this new technology and embrace its revolution for the benefit of our students and teachers. Technology integration has many benefits. Just as there is a need in our life to use science and technology to get the maximum benefits. The need for educational technology in education is due to the following reasons: it gives positive emphasis to the development of the latest methods for effective education, and educational technology makes the teaching process scientific, objective, clear, simple, easy, interesting, and effective. educational technology gives proper guidance to solve teaching problems. It provides proper guidance to make the teaching/learning process effective, such as setting teaching goals, examining the initial behavior of students, selecting and organizing appropriate curricula, appropriate teaching methods and strategies, and supporting materials.
It offers effective means of communication between teachers and learners to engage in the exchange of ideas. It includes the use of all types of arts, methods, materials, skills, principles, and instruments of science, psychology, and technology. It can be used to arrange and control the learning conditions required to achieve educational technical objectives. Just as science and technology help us to do more work with less energy and effort in our daily life, in the same way educational technology controls the waste of energy and time in the teaching process. It also lays emphasis on the development of appropriate evaluation methods for measuring behavior change and for checking the results of the teaching process. After the evaluation process, by examining the final behavior of the students, emphasis is also given to providing the expected reinforcement and support required. I believe with the correct approach and guidance we can benefit immensely from technology.
