Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I’ve learned that integrating information technology applications into coursework equips students with essential digital literacy skills for today’s workforce. I plan to incorporate more tech-based assignments and tools to help students become confident using industry-relevant software and platforms.
Technology is here to stay and will ony evolve as time moves forward, students must learn to adapt, the classroom is the perfect place to get their feet wet in the world of "expanding technology' and all that it has to offer, also how it is an asset.
I think I will begin to incorporate more technology into my classroom to enhance learning and improve efficiency while providing students with the valuable tools they will see in the modern culinary industry. Some ideas are digital recipe software and nutritional software that will become helpful tools in their future.
Students need to have a minimum understanding of the technology that is relevant to their field of study/industry. Technology can make them more innovative and successful if they can implement it in their workplaces.
Technology is vital and must be used appropriately.
Technology is imperative to all workplace career and workplace readyness, ever nurses.
Students need to understand the importance of technology in business because it drives innovation, enhances efficiency, and is essential for staying competitive in a rapidly evolving global market.
Technology makes organizations more effective and perfomr better.
Information technology applications are essential skills that boost productivity in organizations. As instructors, we should incorporate technology into our classrooms to teach students valuable technical skills. This will help them to understand how to use technology effectively, preparing them for future careers.
The need of getting students familiar with the use of technolgy is critical for their learning process.
I have worked with several co-workers that were very limited in their understanding of technology, and their fears kept them from utilyzing many programs that would have been beneficial to them. As teachers it is helpful to the students to allow them to practice using technology since it is very useful in everything we do, and it will allow them to be more productive.
A combination of hard skills, soft skills and IT or technology application skills will provide for a well rounded result. It isn't enough now or moving forward to be one dimensional. For example, for a welder to be rigid in their craft in such a manner as only focusing on welding without having favorable personality traits that compliment their craft might cause customers to seek welding services elsewhere. In contrast, a person with sales and marketing expertise that gives little consideration to the technical and vocational value of the welder might not be able to make the sale. The same goes for IT specialists that find it difficult to talk to the former. What is critical here is that there is win-win solution - all three collaborate and recognize the value each brings to the end result.
love the idea of an electronic course calendar. Might even help them remember when assignments are due!
Technology and gaming helps with student interest and engagement.
Producing well rounded students makes them more desirable in the workforce. Being able to work with groups and technology correctly are great skills.
This application taught me that teamwork is important to the success of a business and once I understand technology to introduce to the students, they will then understand how to apply it to their business,
information technology is a crucial aspect of the present and future workforce. Although teaching these skills in my classroom does not align with my curriculum or topic of welding.
Technology can prepare students for what to expect in the actual workplace
We need to be using a ton of effective technology education since IT is such a growing and important field.
