As I go along, I have come to the realization that there are diverse learners (audio, visual, tactile) and as a teacher I must be able to reach them all. Although technology has its advantages and disadvantages, I have seen improvements in my students overtime. Children have proven that they are a "lover" of devices hence, we can safely say that it can be used to enhance their learning capabilities.

Many students may lack access to technology at home or school for more than one reasons. While at home some students may have a device but no data or vice versa. Some may experience connectivity issues. Also at home if there is no supervision children can use technology negatively. Because of financial constraints some may not be able to access a device nor the data. At school in most cases, we experience connectivity issues, the server at school cannot carry the school's population. Some children are without a device. 

The pandemic (COVID-19) has forced teachers to use technology for the teaching and learning process. Teachers are now competent to some extent however, with so many changes as we go along there should be ongoing training so as to ensure that teachers are abreast with technology and to build our confidence when using the tools involved.]]> 2023-07-11 20:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/danaalexander4000/9daor145cy89/wish/2642918949
