Roblyer, M. D., Porter, M, Bielefeldt, T, & Donaldson, M. D. (2009). “teaching online made me a better. Journal of Computing in Teacher Education, 25(4),
In the 3rd article there was a study that I read was about whether or not teaching in a virtual and traditional sense will make for better teachers. Many thoughts and ideas were thrown around in the journal article. Some about the social effects of online and traditional class room settings. Another idea that was given in the article was about class room curriculum, online and offline. A 3rd idea that was given was Assessment strategies for teaching in the class room and online. In the end, when it came to the study was very much on the small scale setting could not give any substance to the overall picture. But it did show that the teachers, from K to 12th grade, who participated, did, overall, become better teachers to the students in their class rooms.
In the study the teachers themselves improved their teaching through the advancement of their own knowledge of technology and its ability to cross generational gaps in the class room. Therefore, improving the student’s ability to learn and retain the information that is given to them by that teacher in the traditional class room setting.
Question #1: How would technology help improve teacher’s performances in the classroom and online teaching?
A: By reading the article I found that the teachers who do use technology improve their own teaching styles. I think that the real improvement is with the teachers themselves because they had to adjust the way they taught in the class room.
Question #2: Will there be more studies and a wider scale study about this subject?
A: I hope so because it was an interesting article and it showed that teachers who adjust their learning styles are better able to connect with students today.
