If E-learning is good. Should teachers use E-learning?
With the development of technology, it can be difficult to keep up with and adapt to our personal life and career progress. Teachers have a particularly important role that is flow the technology and put it into the classroom as learning tools and teacher's teaching tool.Children can accept it and learn it better than many adults, and they can really use it in the future life.For this reason, combined with technology in the classroom is a great way to improve the learning interest of the child.
There are many ways teachers can use technology in classroom and many teachers have done this before. Some schools use interactive intelligence board instead of traditional board in their classrooms.In many schools, the computer and network is connected, the teachers can teach by using computer, students and teachers can communicate to each other by this way. This is E-Learn.E-Learning is online learning or network studying, students study through the PC online, through the network to learn.This is a new way of learning.This way of learning can not be without network learning resources, online learning community, network technology platform and the online learning environment.Today’s students will not just know technologies of the future -- in many cases, they will drive them. They must learn the skills of the future, not necessarily the skills of today. (Evans, 2006)
We are only just beginning to understand the opportunities for teaching and learning in the networked environment of the new Internet-connected. What makes e-learning implementation challenging is that students asking teachers, because when the teachers are students they have never been taught about this. They will work in an environment in which they have never been learners and may have had few first-hand experiences. However, there is no history and extensive knowledge to draw on the basis, teachers will not have the opportunity to touch the technologies. They will have a chance to look at what it means to be a teacher and how to use technologies in teaching (Campbell, 2001)
As course made available by e-learning make the most out of enhanced interactive features with the inclusion of message forums, charts and even video conferencing, the software and the necessary expertise required to consolidate these tools escalates exponentially. This therefore implies that for all with the exception of the simplest e-learning, it would not be advisable to establish solutions from zero, not unless there is a dire need for customized solutions that are notably absent from the purchasing desk. Sewing together an e-learning platform with the incorporation of outstanding components generates dynamism to tailor the tools to everyone’s satisfaction.
Wikis is also the indispensable and significant technique in the classroom teaching. What are the wikis and other social software may mean to business are needed to be taught by educators, they are not only as a phenomenon, but also as a technique. (Evans, 2006) The material of wikis can be allowed to read to anyone and everyone has a voice to be able to contribute information on the wikis that offers the opportunity to corporate with students from other schools. Furthermore, wikis are available to use both at school and home that allows teachers to track the participation of schools and teachers are also able to learn from student’s postings. Every thing has two-sided, wikis also have some weaknesses and threats, which are at a same time, only a single person can be editing the page and any other person cannot using it. On wikis, any one can add, delete or change the material. It means the information available to students on the web is not reliable and credible that needs to be monitored. The most important prerequisite of above is that wikis requires some skills and practice, because if you do not know how to use it, you will lose information. Introduce wikis to the classroom, the innovative uses of collaborative software tools can be arranged to students by educators.
Moviemaker is a good teaching tool for educators that play vivid and interest pictures and attractive sound that can attract the attention of students and the enthusiasm of the students turn into class. Moviemaker is a video production tool and it is easy to learn the use method. It is fully convenient for person, who can create, edit and share their home movies made by a personal computer at any place. Through a simple drag and drop, carefully selected the screen, and then add some effects, music and narration, home movies shape. Then you can share with your friend, families and anyone you want via web, e-mail, personal computers or CD, or DVD. You can also save the movies to the video on the camera in television or play on. Otherwise, actually moviemaker is very hard to learn and use it. You need to spend quite a lot time on it, if you want to make the movie good. All of above, we can know that, educators teaching through technique methods are intelligent and critical. Teaching using technique makes students collaborative with others and innovative thinking. Collaborative creativity promises to be a critical skill in upcoming years and the advantages of technique skills are much more than the disadvantages’.
Using technology in classroom is becoming more widespread.In my school，they use computer to make learning more interactive.Teachers have a particularly important role that is flow the technology and put it into the classroom as learning tools and teacher's teaching tool.Children can accept it and learn it better than many adults, and they can really use it in the future life.
