George Couros Technology

I like this week readings and videos because it has a lot of different subjects and ideas instead of one. I'm a visual learner so I enjoy watching video a lot. The article "It's not about the technology ...or is it?" by George Couros is very interesting because it makes the reader think about if technology is helping the ways students learn or not. Couros believes that technology is improving peoples life and creating opportunities for everyone. I agree with Couros because technologies make teaching complicated subjects easier than without it. He states that " A video that I have shown to show how technology is more than a tool and can be “transformational”, is this video of this young boy getting his first hearing aid. You can literally see
the second the boy’s life changes." Couros also shows the reader how effective technology can help people with hearing problems. This video proves how technologies is helping people in learning because without the hearing aids, the little boy would not be able to listen in class. Couros said " So yes, it is about the learning, but it also about the technology and the opportunities that it provides us. They are no longer separate." I believe that with technologies, teaching students will become easier and more effective. As technologies improves, it is important that teacher should know how to use it to make teaching more interesting and fun.
