My Opinion about "Instructions with Technologies for Middle School Classrooms"
In this modern era we can not deny how important technology is. It is like, a must for us to have it, since most of every things in this world use technology. For example in Education Sector. Nowadays, there are so many teachers use technology to help them to teach their students. Even in the middle school classroom, they use it to make the teaching and learning process more attractive. And I think it is very good since it is make the teachers job easier. Also for the students, they can use their gadget to do something more useful than just use it for having fun in social media. As a teacher, we should use technology wisely, whether it is good or not for the students and it is not good to use it every time we teach. Technology is just a tool to help the teacher and the students in the learning process.

For everyday classroom needs
Evernote
Teachers love this notetaking app for good reason. When they use Evernote, it allowed them to get rid of handouts. Teachers can share their projects with the students through they shared notebooks, and all assignments are posted on the Assignment shared notebook that is available for parents on my website. Traditionally, these handouts would be viewed by students then trashed. Now they can view them on Evernote and trees can be saved.

So as you can see
above there are so many apps that teacher and student use to help the teaching
learning process, even we can invite the family to join in the app. But as a
teacher we should choose the apps by considering students need. We should think
which apps that can help our students.
For myself, my
teacher used Edmodo. In this app,
teacher can share what material that the students need. For the assignment also
the teacher can posted in it and the students will answer it in the app, so
there will not paper. And the students also can see their score after answer
the questions.

Blended Learning
Blended
learning is the way e-learning that combine with traditional classroom method
to create a new teaching methodology. . It represents a much greater change
in basic technique than simply adding computers to classrooms; it represents,
in many cases, a fundamental change in the way teachers and students approach
the learning experience.
A course created in a blended learning model uses the
classroom time for activities that benefit the most from direct interaction.
Traditional education (especially at the college level) tends to place an
emphasis on delivering material by way of a lecture, while in a blended
learning model lectures can be videotaped ahead of time so the student can
watch on their own time. The classroom time is more likely to be for structured
exercises that emphasize the application of the curriculum to solve problems or
work through tasks.
Blended learning itself has six models :
1. Face to Face Driver
2. Rotation
3. Flex
4. Online Lab
5. Self-Blend
6. Online Driver
Blended learning is a core part of P.K. Yonge Developmental
Research School. Since 2010, the school has taken a schoolwide approach to
integrating digital content as part of their instructional framework. Driven by
changes already happening at the higher education levels and the need to prepare
students for the 21st century workplace, blended learning provides the school
with a variety of ways to address student needs, differentiate instruction, and
provide teachers with data for instructional decision-making. So it will be
good for a teacher to start use blended learning that has benefits to teach
their students.

Global Education Network
New technologies
provide ways to overcome the traditional barriers to global education and
language learning. The 21st century ushered in an era with the highest
level of global interconnected in human history. Technology now
allows us to view live images of events taking place virtually anywhere in the
world, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The rapid development of global
technological capacity and abilities also create opportunities for educators.
Where institutions and individuals recognize the importance of education to
national economic development, available opportunities are plentiful.
Technology can be
instrumental in creating global learning experiences because technology has the
power to breakdown geographical, economical, language, and time-zone
barriers. With technology, we can gather around a screen in a small
town in one place and connect with another place. Technology
also allows for a two-way street. Instead of just sending information
out about a holiday, custom, or community that your children experienced in the
classroom, you can have an exchange and
receive information back in return about cultural practices, customs, and
communities other children experience around the world.
In this
high-tech era there is a significant benefit to instant global communications
is that students can improve their language skills through student-to-student
conversations regardless of where they live. The introduction of
Peer-to-Peer video conferencing using devices students are familiar with can
increase personal interaction. And it can be accomplished from anywhere, it is like opening the world to students who do not have the time or resources to travel.
