Editor's Notes
I will name each of the points of emphasis. I won’t get into detail, just a brief overview of the topics going to be covered.
I will use the examples of having a class technology project or having online tests the students need to complete. I will also explain that this is a great way to utilize different types of assessments. For the second point I will emphasize using a classroom Wiki or discussion board. The biggest thing I will emphasize is the fact that these are educational, not just something students can do to get distracted. For example, I would tell them about a discussion assignment I would use. I would have the question, “How has technology affected the way you communicate with others?” This is a good example of using technology to communicate.
Learning fun:Caters to the growing need of technology- all kids have phones and use technologyRelates to student interests and current trends- Facebook, Google, Twitter, SimAthleteUse many different sites to incorporate technology- SimAthlete, Google, CNN, YoutubeAbstract on student learning.
Putting us into the students shoes is vital. Allows us as educators to get to know our students on a different levelImportant to understand how/why students do/don’t like using technology. Expressing themselves allows students to gain confidence. Enjoying education leads to learning taking place and success.
Allowing a student to play a review game using thesmartboard will help in retaining information. Having something a student can relate to will increase their interest in wanting to be there.Putting the student in control of their learning allows them to take some responsibility and leadership.
