As a former teacher and a future special needs educator, I'm all for technology. It's a way for educators, parents and children to all be able to be equally involved in learning while still maintaining ease of use. It's a simpler way to fix the variability issue in most special needs classroom while not breaking the bank.

As a future educator, I believe technology providing immediate feedback has its pros and cons. On one hand, this feedback can provide aid to students who are struggling, which benefits the students' learning outcomes. On another hand, having to provide immediate feedback to a whole classroom on top of all other responsibilities can be overwhelming for a teacher.

Feedback is one of the categories I struggled on throughout my student teaching. I know how important it is for student’s self-esteem, motivation, and overall success in the classroom. Thinking back when I was in middle and high school, I always loved when teachers would write feedback on papers with suggestions for improvement and acknowledging my strengths. Technology is an excellent tool that can give students immediate feedback when the teacher might be unable to.

As a future educator, I think technology has its advantages and disadvantages in the classroom.  Technology providing immediate feedback in the classroom can be a great advantage to students that require immediate feedback from a teacher, that is not able to work individually with each student at one time.  Technology providing instant feedback can also aid in student learning outcomes, according to research. A disadvantage of technology is that students can become dependent of high-tech devices for answers, for instant gratification, as opposed to the classroom instruction.  Nevertheless, as educators, we have to embrace technology and use caution, as we implement in the classrooms

Technology can play a huge part when engaging with your students. Technology is growing each and everyday. Technology is beneficial now so I will be using technology in my classrooms

As an educator, I have found that the use of technology in the classroom can be extremely beneficial, but can also have drawbacks. Many of our students are living in a technology playground nowadays and the use of it in the classroom can assist in engaging the children in our classrooms. However, when planning to use technology in the classroom, you must always have a back up plan because technology is not always the most solid plan. Many times I have planned to show a certain video or play a certain online game, but the internet has been down. Therefore, we cannot completely rely on technology to get the job done.

on one hand, technology allows you to experiment in pedagogy, democratize the classroom and better engage students. On the the other hand, some argue technology in the classroom can be distracting. I think incorporating both into the curriculum would be beneficial especially in today society.

As an educator, I have both pros and cons for this question. Since technology is available for everyone, no matter their age now-a-days, it only seems natural to incorporate technology into the classroom and students learning. A lot of students require that immediate feedback, and when they are in a classroom with 25 other students and only 1 teacher, this is an exceptional tool for them to have. Now on the other side of that point, there are times where students need that human interaction, to see the pride on their teachers face when they have made progress, or working with peers so that they know how to properly interact with others in a small group setting.

Expecting immediate feedback from technology does not give the student a chance to try out the new device. I am sure that at the beginning the student has to get used to different types of AT because it is something completely new. As teachers we might make the mistake of not seeing progress right away and change the AT to a different method and that could just confuse the student instead of helping them. In my professional opinion we all learn at different paces and expecting immediate feedback is not giving the student a chance to try out the AT.

Unlike the 20th century, technology has been making some incredible advancements for many years now. While I second that technology can work as a catalyst to facilitate learning and enhance learning outcomes, it should be the only medium of teaching. Technology cannot replace teachers. Human connection is required in the process of learning, thus technology should only be used as a tool. Immediate and prompt feedback with the help of technology is providing benefits as children see their successes and failures as a consequence, they are motivated. Also, feedback from technology is visually appealing with sound effects, that makes small achievements like celebrations. This generates a sense o victory.

I think that immediate feedback from technology can be beneficial in a particular context. In a busy classroom of 25 students and only one general education teacher, it can be difficult to provide feedback to each individual student. However, immediate feedback provided by technology could be a barrier to further learning and research that comes with doing the research to check your own answers on classwork.

Board of Education of Hendrick Hudson Central School District v. Rowley defined what would be deemed as appropriate technology.  " The benefit must be more than trivial. It must be meaningful in light of the individual student's disability" (Providing Assistive Technolog: A Legal Perspective, 2004, p. 6).

Technology affects how we live, work, play, and learn. It has slowly started to take over our lives and as technology continues to advance it only makes sense to continue to integrate it more and more into our daily lives. Having access to technology does make everything a little easier, it is also an effective way to connect with students of all learning styles. However, I don’t think that we should teach them to become dependent of technology because technology can fail and students need to be able to fend for themselves.

In my opinion technology can be very beneficial in the classroom, in fact I think it is necessary that we include it in lessons if for no other reason than our students need to know how to use technology. Having said that, I also think that immediate feedback is beneficial in the case of technology as it can provide something to our students that we cannot always do as we try to tackle the other obligations of the classroom.

Technology used today in classrooms almost always provides immediate feedback and response which has led to higher motivation in the classroom according to research (Dell & Petroff, 2017); with this information how does the idea of technology as an active tool in everyday classrooms make you feel as an educator and facilitator for these tools?
