Picture A shows a teacher with traditional technology of teaching while picture B shows a
teacher with a digital technology of teaching.
For me Teacher B is better Equipped for the 21 st century learners because using digital
technology as a tool for teaching is more sustainable and economical. Using digital
technology is not time consuming, the error is less and teachers who doesn’t have a good
penmanship can rely on this compared to the traditional tools of teaching. When I graduate I
would like to become teacher B. I am a human being not gifted with a good penmanship so
for me it would be an advantage for me if I use digital tool of teaching.
PICTURE A
If I would be given a chance to choose picture A I would also choose this way of teaching
because it provides interaction and face to face correlation between students and the
teacher. Traditional teaching technology is inexpensive, easy to use and widely available.
PICTURE B
You should choose picture B because it is economical, environment friendly, not time
consuming.
