Tech In the Classroom

It is here!  Technology is everywhere!  Your students have it, you have it and whether you like it or not, it is going to be used. 

It is our job as teachers to teach students how to use it effectively (although many of us don't know how to) and how to make the tech work uniquely for each of our students. 

Right now, there is so much information out there that you may feel like you are in tech overload.  I agree, that trying to stay up on the latest gadget, app or tool is exhausting.  There are so many options and different ideas for completing the same task that it is difficult to choose.

As a somewhat tech-savy teacher, I am now creating a home where teachers can go (mainly based on Secondary School) and see ideas and thoughts around the latest gadgets/app/tools.  There are my ideas on how to use tech in the classroom and how to make it work EASILY for you and your students. 

My mission: 

  • to make it easy for teachers to integrate the technology into their classrooms
  • to help teachers incorporate technology rather than fight against it 
  • to assist in developing new ideas for how to engage all of your students, even your most difficult ones, using technology
As I come across other information and useful links they will also be posted. Please comment and help me brainstorm these ideas - this is part of the new tech!  Provide me with your thinking and ideas and we can work together to make useful and meaningful resources for our classrooms.
