My first baby step in Teaching Technology class was on 30/01/2018 during my TEA journey at George Mason University, USA. It took me to surprise realizing and understanding the various aspects of technology that initially I thought was just restricted to the usage of electronic devices to disseminate concepts in classroom.
Contrary to my belief, I learnt how important it is to establish the connection between the teacher and learner before you initiate any activity in classroom via technology. The term technology is just not restricted to the usage of electronic devices in classroom rather anything that bridges the gap between the learner and the concept is technology. Some of the advantages of technology that we learnt in class is that it helps in better understanding of concepts, saves time, helps in retention and mobilizes resources. We learnt that ABCS of technology are of extreme importance, i.e., Authentic Activity, Background Building Activity, Constructing Activity and Sharing Activity. Every aspect of it need to be emphasized upon for an effective implementation of technology in classroom situation. I look forward to more of such experience and exposure for further classes.

Myself
I am Stuti Gaur working as a Special Educator in Directorate of Education, Govt. of NCT Delhi, India. I have been working for children with special needs since 2008. I consider myself lucky to have been part of this journey with children having special needs. They have taught me the most about life and learning. I have always viewed learning as a journey and not a destination, therefore, I always consider myself a constant learner.
It is an absolute pleasure to be a part of this Teaching Excellence and Achievement (TEA) Program 2018. For me, it is an opportunity to learn and imbibe the most updated practices and skills in the education. It has provided me a platform to learn at a global level in a diverse environment. I look forward to each and every moment of this learning journey here and I intend to take the most of it back to my country so that my community is benefitted in the best possible manner.
The primary purpose of writing this Blog is to give myself an exposure to the dynamics of writing and expression at a social platform. I look forward to share my experience and knowledge with everyone around to expand my understanding about information and education.
