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.

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...
