Technology's Impact on Teaching

-
Image
  In my early years of teaching, information was primarily accessed through textbooks and physical resources like encyclopedias. Today, students have the entire wealth of human knowledge at their fingertips through the internet. This has transformed the way I teach and the way students learn. One of the biggest ways technology has impacted my work is through the integration of digital tools in the classroom. Interactive whiteboards, online learning platforms, and educational apps have made lessons more engaging and interactive. Students can now engage with content in ways that were not possible before, such as through simulations, virtual field trips, and real-time collaboration. Technology has also made it easier for me to communicate with students and their parents. I can now use email, messaging apps, and online portals to share information, answer questions, and provide feedback more efficiently. This has improved communication and collaboration between teachers, students, an...

Math is a Human Language

-
Image
  In his TEDxManhattanBeach talk, "Math Isn't Hard, It's a Language," Randy Palisoc makes a convincing argument that math is not inherently difficult. He emphasizes in his introduction that 26% of people are proficient in Math. He thinks that this percentage could be higher if we teach Mathematics as a humanized version for everyone, which I agree with his opening statement to the video. In the video, 3 divided chapters directly hit the points of the topic.  Chapter 1: Math is a language Palisoc likens math to other languages such as English or Spanish, pointing out that all languages have their unique grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. He explains that math has its own rules and symbols that we need to learn to communicate effectively using it. As I further listened to his discussion of Math being a language, I truly laughed at the humor he puts in when you don’t understand Math. It is just like another foreign language for us when we’re having a hard time figuring it...

A LONELY TEACHER

-
Image
  Little did you know, I have quiet battles. I struggle to create lesson plans for today. I give up extra hours to research for the discussions. I stayed up all night to prepare for the instructional materials. And do it all over again if I think these wouldn't work for tomorrow. I'm sorry if I didn't accomplish one of my objectives in the lesson plan. Maybe our time wouldn't fit for today. I'm sorry if some information in the discussions is wrong. Maybe I clicked on the wrong site because I was very sleepy at that time. I'm sorry if my materials are not as beautiful as you wanted them to be. Maybe I needed some help but I'm doing it all alone. Don't worry, the teacher will try to maximize everything in our short period, just to accomplish our objectives. Don't worry, next time the teacher will be conscious of the information I click, and manage my time so I won't be sleepy most of the time. Don't worry, the teacher will do my materials creat...
