Chapter+5(3.5)+Productivity+ad+Professional+Practice

Reflections Chapter V Iste’s Week 3 Chapter 5 of this section addresses the contributions technology can make to student learning. According to the authors, students benefit indirectly when educators use technology to enhance their own productivity and professional practice (Redish, T., & Williamson, J.,). I think one of my reasons for engaging in this course at Lamar is to help other educators in the use of technology. There are still educators who are nervous when it comes to technology and there is very little training or professional development in technology. It is still the responsibility of the individual educator to provide the necessary education that they need to enhance learning of their students. I think this text should be required reading for all technology facilitators. Reading the chapters in this book has been very helpful and will be useful for not only facilitators but anyone who is interested in learning how to bring technology to their campus and district. I have also seen the tools that are available to educators to aid in productivity such as grade book. I think this is a great resource.
