M3, Reading Response


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.
