We are currently in week 10 of the this semester and I can't believe that we are almost done with this semester. Like i have briefly mention in some of my post/blogs before, taking this class had help me increase my knowledge and understanding of technology then what i had before. This week topic as you can see by the title of the blog is Visualizing with Technology. I feel that this is an important thing to use when teaching, because it help those student who are more visual learner to see how thing work. I feel that using technology as a visual aid can be very helpful especially in math. As a math major, I don't think i would have made it this far with out having a visual representation as to how to solve a simple algebra problem. It made a lot easier when the teacher would go up to the board or show us a video on how thing or an equation work and what it use for in the real world to understand it. It also made it easier for me to remember it for the test.
There are a lot of impact in the learning process using technology to help visualize. It not also helps those student who are visual learners understand what is going in the class but helps those students who are hands on learned see where they want to get to as they are working through. The impact of this is great because we have students learning by using the technology and seeing it how it would play out. For example, a teacher can teach a student how a function of a graph looks like algebraic (with variables) but it not until the teacher explain how to graph it will the student understand what the graph is doing and how it look like. A good tool most teacher use is a graphing calculator. Student can learn a lot from a function of a graph by plug it in and looking at what the graph is doing
