When students are using technology as a tool or a support for communicating with
others, they are in an active role rather than the passive role of recipient of
information transmitted by a teacher, textbook, or broadcast.
The teacher is no longer the center of attention as the dispenser of
information, but rather plays the role of facilitator, setting project goals and
providing guidelines and resources, moving from student to student or group to
group, providing suggestions and support for student activity
This was both interesting and helpful. All teacher especially teachers who believe technology should not be in the classroom should understand the benefits of technology. Motivation is one benefit that stuck out to me because it makes sense to use modern tools to help students accomplish more and want to learn.
