My initial respons to the role of technology on teaching and learning...

The role of technology in teaching and learning is to make things easier in the classroom. With technology lessons are conducted more smoothly with the help of smart boards, computers, and other similar tools. Computers are tools that are used in everyday life to aid in sharing, communicating, and learning new information. Certain types of technology can help students who may be struggling in one area or another. For example I have seen computer language programs being used to help English Language Learners during center time. Also, assistive technology can help students with disabilities that need support in communication, motor, and/or cognitive abilities. Technology can be used to help teachers make learning more accessible to all students.
