A How-To Use Technology in the Classrooom Guide!
Technology is changing constantly in the world around us, and so is the world of education. Now, it is a must to include computer technology of some type within the classroom. For the veteran teacher, I have discovered a few reasons teachnology should be used in the classroom:
1. Student learning/motivation: Use of instructional technology can increase student learning and/or motivation to learn over other teaching methods.
2. Technology in the workplace: 75% of all jobs require use of a computer in some capacity. Students who are skilled in using technology in accomplishing tasks in school will be better prepared for the world of work.
3. Use of instructional technology facilitates development of a student-centered learning environment rather than a teacher-centered classroom. This allows the student to learn effectively on their own.
For the veteran teachers- here are some ways to integrate technology into the classroom.
1. Online Streaming Videos- almost every subject imaginable has a streaming video that you can access online to help with a lesson. Check out some resources such as United streaming and YouTube to embed video within your lesson.
2. WebQuests- students can be given a challenge, have fun, and learn at the same time. Visit QuestGarden.com to assign a WebQuest activity for you classroom to explore. Also, you may try to have your classroom make their own WebQuest page!
3. Wiki-pages- These pages are especially neat to use in the classroom! Students can design a "how-to" page on practically anything they wish! Wiki-pages are also valuable in the fact that you may manipulate them anyway you wish, while they are still able to be viewed on the internet!
4. Podcasts- A student may simply listen to information via the internet through podcasts. Podcasts give important information, also as Online Streaming Videos, without pictures.
5. Classroom Websites- These are a very important asset in the world of technology in the classroom. Information can be easily obtained by parents and students. Homework assignments may be posted on them, as well as grading information! It also saves paper and time!
Those are just a few ways that technology can be integraded into the classroom! Computer technology allows the teacher to be creative and professional at the same time!
