S1: Reflection 7 - (Reflective Tutorial)

How Children Learn

All children learn in different ways and we as teachers need to learn how to accommodate them. One of the ways in which we can adapt our teaching styles to suit our learners is through the use of technology in the classroom. I watched a resource video from my reflective tutorial and came across an interesting quote "Teachers will not be replaced by technology, but teachers who don't use technology will be replaced by those who do" - Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach. I don't think technology is the be-all and end-all but I do think it very important to adapt for each individual child. Children growing up today have also been born into the 'digital revolution' and technology is not only a successful means in which to teach, but it is also vital they are digitally literate as their success in the future is likely to depend upon it.
