Literature Review-week 3

Class Objectives met through this review:
 1. Demonstrate the understanding of how technologies can effectively promote student learning.

In my opinion about this webinar using technology allows students to develop their knowledge.

2. Evaluate and use a variety of current technologies to enhance content instruction and to advance students' technological literacy.

Students are developing their literacy skills through using laptop and ipad.

3. Reflect upon and demonstrate effective use of digital tools and resources.

Webnar presents that the ipads and other computerized tools are usable into the classroom  . it is clear that technology has brought about highly relevant developments which have enhanced education and promoted the ability of students to carry out the learning exercise in very efficient ways.

4. Evaluate, adapt and reflect on emerging tools and trends by participating in local and global learning communities and by reviewing.

this webinar shows me ,how technology affect the cognitive development of students .

 In the webinar entitled (Social Construction of Technology in Elementary Schools: Case Studies from India and the United Kingdom) D/ Erik Jon Byker discuss how technology use has increasingly impacted on education in very significant ways.

Essentially, the use of iPads in the class set up has ensured the both students and teachers  can interact pretty well in order to communicate various significant educational information in order to achieve the objectives of education. Essentially, technology can effectively promote student learning in sense that, it is possible to use digital media since it has been upheld highly by different category people. Most importantly, students are able to share ideas and opinions amongst themselves which go in many forms including images, photos as well as texts (Gliksman, 2012). One of the most amazing ways in which we can demonstrate effective use of digital tool and resources is by reflecting on the use of iPad. It is possible for instance to tell a story by way of using a single picture using the iPad since one can present it to the others and from their give explanations regarding different features and what is attributed to the particular features as observable.

The video facility offered by many learning tools including the ipad for this matter show slides as well as practical demonstrations of some important information that is to be considered in learning. In this regard, the teachers and students are able to share information via the video facility found in the technological learning facilities. Webnar presents that the ipads and other computerized tools are usable in a class set up in which case learning information can be shared among students and between the teachers and the students.

Therefore, it is clear that technology has brought about highly relevant developments which have enhanced education and promoted the ability of students to carry out the learning exercise in very efficient ways. In a learning set up, students will be increasingly engaged through joint participation in the learning exercise as they attempt to give their ideas and share their experiences with the others concerning the learning activity that they are involved in. essentially, within the classroom set up, the teacher is able to provide the information that is being learned digitally in which case if every student has an iPad, that information can be passed over through connecting the teachers gadget to a central point from where the iPads held by students can get the information  (Gliksman, 2012). This is cost effective and highly efficient an approach. In this regard, the information presented in this particular article clear depicts the essence of technology in learning whereby various benefits associated with the use of iPads within the cost set up are given.

Notably, in the United Kingdom it has been identified that learning has been advanced and there is increased use of ipads and other related technological tools in education. Although this is practiced in India, it has not spread wide since India is at the developing stage with regard to technology though this is likely to be high within a short time due to the rate of development of the country.

 As such, it is clear that technological developments are highly advancing the rate ate which education is growing from phase to phase whereby in the long run it will practically be possible to conduct classes even at the elementary level virtually as long the learners understand how to use the technological gadgets that will be used in learning. The reading has some connection with the learning outcome in that, it ensures that the students get to learn on how to use technology in their day to day lives. For instance, the various ways in which the iPads can be used as a learning tool have been discussed whereby the approaches which are applicable are in this regard presented in this particular piece of information. The ways in which the students are able to utilizes the iPad in a learning exercise have been depicted in which case different features of the iPad are denoted as playing significant roles in enhancing education.

The iPad camera for instance will enhance the learning process through a single picture which is taken by use of the camera so that the teacher for instance is able to build a case in which he or she will be able to demonstrate using the different attributes as the teacher finds appropriate (Gliksman, 2012). Still, various ways through which the iPads can be utilized by different category people have been depicted in this article whereby important concepts with regard to the utilization of the iPad. Still some important aspects regarding the suitability of the iPad as a technological tool used in education have been presented which give the information substantial levels of credibility and reliability. With such information, it thus becomes quite easy for me as a student to take this as a challenge so that I may put this theoretical aspect into a practice hence coming up with devices that can enhance better living standards of other people around the globe.
