Greetings! Thank you for visiting my Instructional Technology Portfolio. I am Rodney L.Turner and I am studying Early Childhood Education at Kennesaw State University. Presently, I am enrolled in ITECH 3100: Technology in Elementary Grades. Interactive simulations and illustrations can produce a much greater depth of understanding of a concept. When virtual manipulative are used in a classroom setting they can go far beyond chalk and talk. Technology allows the tables to be turned. Instead of teaching,students can be given projects that require them to learn, the necessary material themselves. Key to this is the ability to get the information they need any time anywhere, without being in the physical presence of a teacher. Technology is essential for student’s critical learning as well. It is vital to the student’s remembering, applying,understanding, analyzing, evaluating and creating.
