If a teacher incorporates technology in lessons (smartboard, blogging, wikis) then students will gain networking skills while learning Internet technologies. Unfamiliarity with the Internet may hinder students as technology has become increasingly important. As George Siemens suggests, learners need to be able to figure out how to access information (know-where) on top of knowing how, why, and what. Knowing where to find something on the Internet, as well as being able to access legitimate/accurate information, is a critical skill students need to have today. I believe that learning technology is a new standard that needs to be weaved into lessons in order to accomodate the increasing demand for technological skills in the workplace and everyday life. This means that the teacher should not be the only one using the technology, rather she/he should make students use the smartboard, contribute to blogs, and use computers regularly.
1. If: a teacher incorporates technology in lessons
2. Then: students will gain networking skills while learning Internet technologies
3. Because: Unfamiliarity with the Internet may hinder students as technology has become increasingly important... Knowing where to find something on the Internet, as well as being able to access legitimate/accurate information, is a critical skill students need to have today.
4. Evidence (theory): As George Siemens suggests, learners need to be able to figure out how to access information (know-where) on top of knowing how, why, and what
5. Moral implication: I believe that learning technology is a new standard that needs to be weaved into lessons in order to accomodate the increasing demand for technological skills in the workplace and everyday life
Contextual data: "Know-where," accessing accurate information, technological demand
Event/decision: Incorporating technology into lessons
Pedagogical language: Smartboard, blogging, accomodate
