Technology in Education


We know that we have five senses, hearing, tasting, seeing, listening and feeling. The most important point the developers must keep in mind is that learning becomes concrete if more senses are involved the learning. When we talk of animations it covers some of the features advocated by Edgar Dale. But the content developers just do not stop at animation they have further added simulations, quiz, text, web links, Key words, glossary etc., to make a wholesome package.
This sort of learning object caters for most of the essentials of learning process. Having discussed the need for teaching aids and the technology based learning objects which are in tune with the teaching learning philosophy we would discuss their importance of e learning in studying mathematics.
There is a misconception that mathematics is a stale, boring, abstract, difficult etc., subject, on the contrary if the teacher is innovative, thinks out of the hat and incorporates the latest technologies, he can make this lively subject the most sought after one.
The teacher has to take into consideration the wider range, academic readiness, learning approach, and the background of the children while making learning strategies.  He must plan the instructional approach in response to the learner’s needs.
