Hello everyone! There are countless reasons why technology is a key aspect of learning in the schools. Whether we like it or not, technology is everywhere; and in order for our students to survive in post-secondary education and the business world, they must know technology.To narrow it down, we came up with 4 reasons for the importance of technology in education: 1.

Hello everyone this week I want to share with you some information about technology in the classroom. Technology and education complement each other well, giving teachers across grades levels and academic disciplines endless ways to use technology in the classroom and help students become more digitally literate. Even early elementary students can learn to use technology for a variety of purposes.  Here are three  ideas for pairing technology and education that teachers can implement across grade levels and school subjects.  1. Rethink social media. This idea may make you shudder, and will likely require close monitoring, but social media gives you additional options for using technology in the classroom. Thoughtful use of certain platforms can help students develop useful academic skills while also teaching them to use social media responsibly. Students can curate visual content on Pinterest boards, or create blogs on Blogger, Tumblr or WordPress. Twitter is also fle...

Hi everyone this week I want to share with you some information about technology in the classroom and future teachers.. The use of technology in the classroom continues to be debated within the education community. Some think it’s a supplemental tool that should be used sparingly, while others believe technology will completely revolutionize how students learn. Depending on the types of technological innovations, both parties are right. The next generation of teachers will use technology, but how they do and the benefits they reap will vary by district, school, grade level, and even classroom.The most important thing is:Teachers Need Training Before They Can Embrace Technology. It’s not that teachers who don’t use technology are technophobic, or that they don’t want to use technology or embrace a blended-learning experience. Many teachers simply aren’t receiving the training they need. They might not understand how technology can help their classroom or what kind of skills are nee...

The Latest Technology Used in Classrooms Today Hi future teachers,  this week I want to share with you a useful information about many new technologies being used in classrooms today: social networking, online teaching, class blogs and wikis, podcasting, interactive whiteboards, and mobile devices. There are many ways in which we can benefit from the new technologies being developed today. For one, new technologies make distance learning easier.

Class blogs and wikis widen the avenue for discussion and give students a chance to participate outside of the classroom. Interactive whiteboards makes teaching easier, giving students better visual aids and teachers an easier time in presenting lessons; while mobile devices allow teachers to deliver...

Hi everyone ! 😊 This week i want to share with you 5 technology tools to engage students in the classroom. 1-White noise Depending on what you want the students engage in–you, one another, content, an assignment, etc.–they need to be able to focus, and classroom aren’t always the easiest places to do that. Background noise can not only drown out excess noise, but more helpfully as students concentrate, there is less noise  because  they’re concentrating. 2-Kahoot Kahoot! is a handy tool that students can use to create in-class questionnaires and quizzes. This is handy for obtaining data for graphing assignments, data for research essays, and feedback from their classmates. Kahoot! is compatible with multiple devices and has a game-like feel that will help keep students interested. 3-Trello Because so many students are in the habit of multitasking, a good skill to teach them is how to organize and streamline their assignments. Trello is a free and super easy-to-use...
