Nowadays there are a lot of ICT tools in front of
us as teachers. We can vary the usage of such tools and in
a way that fit our students' needs. Integrating technology in teaching can help
us to move from teacher centered learning to students centered learning and
help us to emphasize the teaching process. For example, if we are going about
photosynthesis and we are talking about what are the main conditions that are
necessary for the plant I can ask my students to open the simulation app and
perform the experiment, so that the students can control the conditions that
are necessary for the plants. They can control the variables in the way they
want, they can know what conditions are needed by the plant in order to
survive; how much mineral salts they must add or which specific intensity of
sunlight is better. So online tools and applications can help us a lot as
teachers to achieve our learning objectives in interesting and engaging way. As
a science teacher, technology tools really makes my subject more enjoyable and
interesting, and it makes my students more engaged and motivated. Moreover, it
facilitates my work as a teacher, helps me to deliver the information in a
clear way, and lets me move from a traditional approach to a student centered
approach.
