World civilization is growing rapidly making all the lines become easy, technologically advanced constantly makes all human activities helped very easily. So it is with an education that is in the spotlight of all nations to make it as the main target of achievement that must be fulfilled and important. So educator keeps trying to put technology as the spearhead of exclusive education, innovative, easy, and practical.

Educational institutions are constantly working to update their learning tools as if they have become a trend if schools have a variety of learning aids using new technology. The efforts made by the institution are very telling, but are all students able to absorb the lessons that teachers have presented using advanced tools? Often kids still struggle to learn or understand certain concepts.

Which are the best resources that you use in your class with the most success?

I saw some children who skillfully use the computer, able to operate Microsoft well be a star in its class. He can process data accurately and quickly for reports and homework when he is not so deeply the material as appropriate. Contrary to technologically stuttered students who have to stammerly understand the work system of the computer and use other software even though he mastered the material deeply. This is a case where children must understand the basics of technology to enshrine them to accomplish their tasks.

I tend to use CTL (contextual learning) method to compensate for this problem, I form a learning group that should be a member of the group. Consist of elected group leaders with good management, nerds, students who have the skills to operate the technology, and provide active tasks to students who are overactive in their classes. I chose to study theory in the classroom and provide an opportunity to learn from the source directly. Like learning about frogs, I invite them to interact directly with nature and find frogs in fields not far from school or take them to play while studying to the mesium and laboratory for lessons related to the place.

Conclusion

Using the CTL method is one way to give full uptake to the lessons taught in the classroom. The use of technology and its application is part of accelerating the uptake of material that must be understood by students. Technology is very helpful, but the participation of students to directly receive information from the source is better.

Technology is like driving a super fast car, the road has to be conditioned for the speed, the driver has to be attentive to avoid collision, definitely technology improves the learning but in certain way. No easy way to life. Each individual learning curves are different.

Yes, it is true..
Thank for your comment., :)

Well written article - I think that technology is becoming overused in the classroom.. We show them pictures of nature and talk about them in class rather than actually going outside!

Technology should be used as an aid rather than taking over the classroom

Did you say over used @conradt? Maybe in your part of the world. Here, its a special class reserved for special people.

Thats interesting! In New Zealand it is definetly over used!

in this case, digital literacy skill is needed to promote by teachers for students rather than digital skill. This skill benefits for digital users to use technology properly, like you said, to avoid the overusing of technology @conradt

Thank you very much.. :)

I believe, if technology is used appropriately, it will make learning easier and reduce the high cost of education in the long run. But some countries are still on the disadvantage side...this is sad
