This document provides 10 tips for teachers to save time and reduce stress while improving student outcomes. It recommends using digital tools like Wunderlist, Dropbox, Google Forms, and Weebly to stay organized, streamline tasks like instrument lessons and data entry, assess student work digitally, create a central website for resources, and flip the classroom by creating instructional videos. It emphasizes taking an incremental approach to integrating technology by focusing on one or two tips at a time.
A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity where students interact with information from online resources to complete an authentic task. WebQuests require higher-order thinking and make good use of online resources. To create an effective WebQuest, the task should mimic real-world problems and require analysis, synthesis or evaluation rather than just summarizing information. WebQuests offer advantages like engaging and motivating students while integrating technology into the classroom.
A PLN (Personal Learning Network) allows teachers to connect with billions of other professionals online to share ideas, resources, lessons and stories. Building a PLN expands opportunities for collaboration beyond the local school. The document provides tips on creating an online profile and using tools like Twitter, Facebook groups, blogs and conferences to participate in a PLN in order to stay passionate about teaching and continuously learn from others.
