Integrating Technology into Your Classroom



Integrating Technology into Your Classroom
Our students live in an ever-changing world with technology at the center.  From Smart phones to tablets, our students are connected and engaged, so it is important that we jump on the technology wave in our classrooms to keep our students’ attention and engagement.  Design lesson plans that will be interactive.  You may create webquests that allow students to research a topic by reading articles, playing games, or viewing videos on the topic.  As the majority of classrooms now have SMART boards, use them with students, who know pretty much everything about them!  You can design games for review or allow students to create their own presentations on them.   Use online discussion boards like Edmodo with your students for easy communication about assignments or submission of homework, and whenever possible, encourage students to create projects using the technology that is available, from designing their own websites or blogs to producing their own videos and movies.  By embracing new technology, we improve the success of our students because we tap in to the world they know and use.
