● Introduction :-
Technology has the ability to enhance relationships between teachers and students. When teachers effectively integrate technology into subject areas, teachers grow into roles of adviser, content expert, and coach. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun.
So , let's see some of the glimpse of education, technology and ELT through these below videos :-
1. Sir Ken Robinson : Changing Paradigm
Every country on Earth, at the moment is reforming public education. There are 2 reasons for it...
1. Economic :-
That How do we educate our children to take their place in the economics of the 21st century?
Given that we can't anticipate what the economy will look like at the end of the next week.
2. Culture
We are forced to memorize perfect answers and copy and paste those onto our test papers. The education now aims for students to have perfect scores, to be successful in life in the sense that it helps the economy to prosper and whatnot but that isn't what education is really about?
Education should be prioritizing personal growth and developing individual interests and skills instead of trying to drag them through the same curriculum.
Then he further talks about ...
1. Aesthetic adj. - something that involves the senses.
2. Anaesthetic adj. - something that kills the senses.
2. Sugata Mitra : Build a school in the cloud
Sugata Mitra is a Professor of Educational Technology at the school of Education, Communication and language Sciences at Newcastle University, England. He is best known for his " Hole in the Wall" experiment and widely cited in works on literacy and education.
- He talks about this above video that how technology and education are interwoven. Or he says that through the platform of the technology students know education very well and they also interested to do how the use of the technology even the slum students also can do without any help.
- The beginning of this video, he talks ....
Where did the kind of learning we do in schools, where is come it from & you can look back far in the past, but if you look at the present school days, it is quite easy to figure-out where it came from.
- It can from about 300 years ago & it came from the last and the biggest empire on this planet.
- 'The Biritish Empire' - imaging trying to rum that show, trying to rum the entire planet- without computer, without telephones, the data, hand-writteen or the pieces of paper & travelling by ships. But he says that....the Victorian did it - what they did it was amazing. They created a global computer, made-up of people, it still with us. Today is called 'Bureaucratic Administrative Machine'.
- In order to have that machine running you have that lots of people, they made another machine to produce those people- " The school".
- Then he further talks about ...
' Schools are we know them are Obsolete '
- Education system is not broken, it's wonderfully constructed, it just we don't need anymore, it's outdated.
- Then he further giving the example of The clerk and the computers ... Which are in every office & the people who guide those computers to do that clerical jobs, those people don't need to write beautifully by hand, they don't need to multiplied numbers by their head, they need to be able to read.
● He talks about the slums & thought that how on the earth those kids are ever going to write Computer Programmes?
Here he wants to say that one day he left his computer among the slums and no one of them had understand the english language or how to operate computer. But after sometimes he arrived at that place and shocked to see that the slums were learned the computer and operate also.
That's how technology helps the people or the students to learn anything which they want.
● Further adds that ...In future we don't need to go at a school at all, if you need to know something you can find out in 2 minutes on the mobile or computers.
● Then he talks about ...
SOLE :- Self Organizing Learning Environment. They are basically....
Broadband + Collaboration + Encouragement & admiration.
Through these all we can see that put together all and through students started learning themselves.
◆ At last Sugata Mitra's wish....
In last - His wish is to help design of learning by supporting children all over the world to tap into the wonder and their abilities to work together.
At last he said that help me build the school it would be called " The School in the Cloud".
3. David Crystal : The effect of New technologies on English
● Technology and its development is ongoing process. From very ancient time we are using technology in one or another way. Like the era of change begins from the discovery of Telephones. We use to communicate with peoples who are living far away. Broadcasting introduce new varieties of language, like the language of news reading, weather report is different. We use various tools like internet, google, email, blogging, Facebook for communication. These all new technologies developing new style of English language. They have distinctive English style. Like each tools includes different numbers of characters, it differs from text messaging to twitters for various purposes.
4. The biggest challenge for English language Teachers in the times of internet
● To pace with language change is a biggest challenge for teachers because language is changing so fast with the help of internet. The teachers are not familiar with the new talent because their generation is over. The other problem is Globalization. As if teacher only rely on one kind of English that is British English and taught accordingly to their students then, the students were not able to get other languages when they come in contact with the global market where people from different region speaking different language with different accent. There is vast majorities with varieties of accent and dialogues. There is need to improve listening comprehension and reading from the very beginning.
5. Texting is good for English language
Texting is a kind of language, and it is never bad to improve language through texting. But peoples are holding varies myths regarding texting and consider it bad the reasons are:-
i) Texting is done by kids only.
ii) Text messages with abbreviations entirely abbreviate these messages.
iii) Messaging is invented by the kids, its a modern thing.
iv) Kids don't know how to spell
v) There is generation of illiterate because kids don't know how to spell correctly
These all reasons are just reflecting the narrow mindedness of the people. These are not facts. It is not only kids, but mostly things are done by adults. More than half generation are using mobile and everyone is doing messaging. Literacy is important, and it needs more and more practice which technology provides. The more we text the better our literary skill improved.
