Reflection (week 5) - Instructional Design and Technology in Classroom

In classrooms has been implementing the use of technology as a way of support the work of teaching. The example describes that have been provided to teachers and students laptops with internet, using these tools at all times.

However, the use of these resources has many advantages for learning and also many other disadvantages. Therefore, the teacher should make use of applications that allow him to measure the performance of their students, such as virtual classrooms, work group collaboration and online quizzes. Because what cannot be measured, cannot be improved.

An example of a classroom project could be a photo sharing (keeping as a storytelling project as well), so teachers can incentive his students to use any application to create this assignment and share experiences in class. Speaking about that, I decided a long time ago to create a user in Instagram, because through this application I can share my points of view, what impacts me and what I like. Also, I can follow another users, create and follow hashtags and trend topics. So, click and look my Instagram!

Finally, the use of technology in the classroom is a challenge, since the cooperation of all is needed to achieve positive, long-term and quality results.
