In this video, teacher Vicki Davis talks about teaching through technology. She exposes her students to every kind of technology to teach them to be self thinkers. It is very important to embody the classroom with technology. Davis strives to introduce them her students to many different kinds of software programs. This is an extrodinary way of teaching because it not only familiarizes students with different technology but also gives an alternate way of learning for students that are visual learners.
Davis is teaching students more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. She is giving them skills to expand their knowledge. This program inspires children to think critically for themselves. A student is allowed to tinker with new programs and teach themselves new concepts that they can teach to others. This gives students an extreme boost of confidence and self esteem which encourages them to continue learning. This hands-on-process of learning keeps students focused opposed to just listening to a lecture.
In Davis' class, students are exposed to different software, networking sites, and much more. In today's world almost everything is electronically done and to succesfully funtion in a society, a person must be technologically inclined. Even though software programs are constantly changing, this teaching method does not just teach students about technology but also teaches them how to learn about technology. Along with teaching themselves, the students interact with other students from around the world to collaborate on classroom assignments to learn about new programs and software. Davis' teaching method is allowing her students to interact with other students around the world, learn about the latest software, and inspire them to continue learning.
