Understanding and Building of Knowledge

How can technology support student understanding and building of knowledge?

Technology can support student understanding by building background knowledge on a topic. Through Internet searches the student is given an opportunity to have access to a wide range of information. This allows for a student to use critical thinking skills when researching a topic. Students are given different types of information when they do a search; photos, videos, power points, and articles. Literally information is at one’s fingertips!

Explain what types of products do you feel can inspire creativity and innovation?

Apple computers have made it very easy to inspire creativity and innovation through their software. iDVD and iMovie allows one to be very creative in delivering information in an innovative way. Smart phones or flip videos allow creativity an upload away to You Tube.
