Why the need for Integration of Technology?

Is it just me, or would the integration of technology be really practical in the classroom? What happens to the lecturer for one if pupils would be allowed to sit with their techno devices in class and get their work via the internet? If they can Google for solutions to assignments and further more.

I did a little research regarding integration of technology and these are a few things that are mentioned.

computers cannot replace teachers.

"Contrary to the wisdom of the most fanatical technologists, computers do not think, initiate, or react the way teachers do. Although some people believe that information equals education, teachers know that understanding is not automatic with the acquisition or memorization of facts. Knowing how to apply information, how to use ideas in new ways, how to evaluate information, and how to extrapolate or go beyond basic information are important aspects of learning.

Teachers understand when the teachable moment is at hand and guide students' academic growth. The teacher facilitates learning and helps students transfer ideas to new learning situations. Integrating technology isn't about using complex technology programs but rather simplifying technology choices and focusing on how technology connects to learning.

We probably have to be patient with regard to the integration of technology, as it could easily backfire without the proper skill and understanding of how to go about it.

Womanising

Have you ever wondered why women get beat and stay with the guy? I certainly have. Real men don't beat women and children, firstly, nor do they prance around bragging about it. Yes, females carry the responsibility of also not punching their partners, but the fact that your partner stands up to you and voices her opinion does not indicate the right for you to punch her.

The reality of it is though, very many girls go on meeting up with men who abuse them. Why is that? You probably despise yourself so much that you allow another person to continuously grapple you. I personally would file a complaint against any person who hurts me, and I would forever try and avoid looking at that person's face.

That's just me, I do know that all of us differ, that some choose to hide their pain, some choose to lay a complaint and some choose to run away. It all comes down to the support you obtain from everyone around you.

I plead with those of you who read this, don't ever even think about bruising a woman, never mind "think twice before you do it".

You are only as strong as your willpower to do the right unto others.

1st day back!

Mwah julle almal!

Can't stop smiling today, I am quite glad to be back at campus. Do hope the rest of you back at campus feel the same way too.

As long as it took me to register, that's how long it's taking me to digest the fact, that as a final year student, you actually do work on your very first day, and on top of that, you get a heap of homework to do! lol.........

Can only hope things go smoother from here on out. You all should make the most of your time back at campus, because, believe me, no matter how much we refuse to acknowledge that now, we are going to miss campus when we start working.

While we are on the topic of work, love being back at the DMS office! It actually hasn't changed a lot, and I'm glad about that.

Hey peeps, how are you dudes and gals doing? Hope the festive season treats you well. May all of God's richest blessings be showered upon you and your family and friends this holiday.

I also pray that you guys pass and those of you continuing new paths outside campus, do not fear, the Lord is always near. If you don't know where you are headed yet, just have faith in the Lord, he will carry you where you have to be.

Those of us coming back to UWC, make the utmost of this festive season. Lots of hard work waits for you at campus in the new year.

Take care and stay safe.

Weekend before my last paper..........

This is going to be the most important weekend for this year. The amount of preparation I put into my last paper over this weekend, will make or break my academic career.

Therefore I plead with everyone to please pray for me, I sincerely need your prayers. Lets make sure I end off my academic year in good faith.

Can't wait to be on the same page as everyone else! Real good times here I come!

Exam fever!

The finals have begun! Many of you are studying hard and some are finding it super difficult to sit down and concentrate on their studies, much like me! lol

Now is the time to put your pride in your pocket and ask God for the key people. The key to wisdom and concentration. My faith is in God, He believes in me, therefore I am able to pursue my dream. We are not in this alone, all we own is by the grace of God.

Faith counts for a lot, I pray that all of us make it, and God will answer my prayers. Don't you give up hope, you shall reap the rewards in good time.

This will soon be over, then we will all have a good time at our closing function.

Mwah till we meet again!

The heat is on!

Mwah to all of you! looks like the weather is changing in my favour. This definitely is my kind of weather, the sky is blue and the sun is shining!

Can't wait for the holiday, can't wait for the smell of a summer's evening braai and the beaches! I adore summer! It makes studying for finals so much better!

To all of you who are writing finals, goodluck, and I hope God provides you with the key of wisdom, intellect, understanding and comprehension. May you find the time to study hard and may you pass!

For those of you who will be reading my blog, what are we doing for our end of year work function?

I thought that we could all pool some cash and have a braai at Andre's house.

If you are up for it, we could all meet sometime and have a chat.

Ok , byeeeeeeeeeeee.
