Name: Alissa Lawson Chapter Number: 2
Summary
Chapter 2 talked about learning with technology and how it can enhance whatever type of learning style that fits you. We all learn differently be it visual, audio, or kinesthetic with the technology there is something here for everyone. Technology also opens up your mind to a broader horizon helping you to be an effective critical thinker. This chapter also touched on IQ, stressing its importance and how it is measured. With the help of technology it can enhance a person IQ if it’s not so high by visually showing and networking which keeps the communication cycle going.
Key Chapter Points
Major Topics Covered
Reflection: This chapter really put emphasis on how technology really enhances a teachers and students relationship. Communication is the key to learning; it is the bridge between people. I feel that technology is such a vital tool in education today and without it many would be lost including me. I am a visual learner so I know how technology can improve a person’s IQ. When I was young it was hard for me to vision things that the teacher was discussing in class, but as time went on and technology improved things began to become to understand.
