Incorporating
technology into the curriculum makes learning meaningful and exciting.
When
teaching STEM subjects through technology, students learn in different ways,
which build creativity. In the article, Fostering Creativity, and Innovation through Technology, students learn innovative
and creative ideas by using a program called Scratch. This interactive tool
allows them to design digital programs. Students, as young as nine, are becoming
educated in how to create computer games, web design and other programs. This
program allows them to relate their knowledge of science and math to meaningful
work. It is free software, that can be utilized from any computer. I think this
is a great program. From reading the article students seem to enjoy being
creative and innovative. Even if it just by copying and editing work to make it
their own, they’re being involved in learning. I believe teaching technology to
students builds lifelong learners.
