Effective Integration of Technology in the Classroom

1" Teaching is an art". Rajeev Ranjan

Use of technology is integral part of our life. Living in an era of
globalisation, we need to understand the changing trend
across the world. Technology has become fundamental need
for human society. In fact, technology is the best companion of
today’s world. We open our eyes by searching mobile
somewhere on the bed. No one thinks it as a bad habit. The
more we stress on innovative learning, the more we become a
global contender. There was time when textbook, teacher and
education institutions were main source of learning.
Nowadays, we quench the thirst of knowledge with
technological support. Evolvement of technology has changed
the beliefs and values of teachers, administrators, parents
and other educational stakeholders.

 Effective learning in the classroom purely depends on the digital skills
of educator and students. Successful integration of technology in the
classroom depends on several factors. Could we consider these factors
for better results? Let us consider altogether:-
 Which technology should be used in the classroom?
 Why does a teacher integrate technology in the
classroom?
 How does a teacher integrate technology with actual
curriculum?
 How does integration of technology fulfil the need of the
learners?
 Do we integrate technology while preparing lesson plan?

5
 Do we have clear teaching and learning objective for
integrating technology?
 Do we have proper plan for integrating technology i.e.
prepared questions, time, evaluation tools and other
necessary precise guidelines?
 Do we have prepared relevant worksheet, question
paper and Key notes in advance?
 Do we have decided outcome of teaching topic and do
we have plan to share with student?
 Have we evaluated our process at the end of the class?

Students explore the depth of information technology more
curiously, more enthusiastically and more passionately. It
may be possible that they know two more different
authentic websites or different good software. They may
have amazing ideas to lead the lesson in a different and
unique way.

Real Story based on classroom observation:-
Teacher 1
It was remedial period no 8 of grade 9. Social teacher could not plan something
special for this class. She asked students to open digital board. She instructed
student to type (A) related to a lesson (X). Student open YouTube Channel and
typed according to her teacher’s instruction. She finally clicked on the 1st
video
visible on search list. Students and teacher watched the video. Period was over
teacher. Teacher left the class.
Teacher 2
It was intermediate level classroom. Mathematics teacher was teaching Algebra.
He opened Google search and typed something related to Algebra. He has chosen
2nd
link of search result. After discussing materials found on particular link, he
started explaining. After sometimes a student reminded him that this is not
related to his today’s topic. Teacher told them not to worry; he will discuss other
materials in next class.

Real Story based on classroom observation:-
Teacher 3
It was grade 3rd
classroom. Teacher was teaching a prose lesson. She has
completed explanation of text, word meaning and questions based on
exercise. She has still 15 minutes remained in particular period. Students
started doing nasty things in the classroom. Unexpectedly, teacher
opened Digital System and played a story for the students to watch.
Teacher 4
Principal inquired the Science teacher regarding using technology to
maximize learning in the classroom. Teacher informed him that she
taught every topic very well. She could not find time and also could not
feel the need to integrate technology for teaching lesson, since she is very
hardworking teacher so and so forth.

 "We are at the ground floor of a new world full of
imagination, creativity, innovation and digital
wisdom. We are going to have to create the
education of the future because it doesn't exist
anywhere today."
Marc Prensky.

What do you think?
 The context in which technology is used and
how it is used are crucial factors in how well
it may support learners.
(Anderson-Inman & Horney, 1998; Kern, 2006).

27
Does an English Language Teacher/Language
Teacher think so? Could we do this for maximize
learning in the class?
 For younger learners effective classroom strategies have traditionally
involved use of songs, rhymes and traditional stories with repeated
language structures. The internet can be a rich source of authentic oral
models via recorded songs, talking electronic books, podcasts and
video clips that help learners with pronunciation as well as acquisition
and reinforcement of new vocabulary. These tools can also help to
support teachers who don’t feel as confident with their own language
skills.
