I believe technology is a integral and important aspect of todays education! Technology should be introduced to students as something they can continue using through their lives and educational journey! Here are just a few technologies that I have tried to use to help students expand and enjoy their learning more!
I try to introduce google drive into all my classes whether it be a health, keyboarding, or interactive web design class. I feel introducing an online storage space where students can store and share files is an essential part to helping students become organized.
The Smart board is also something I try to use as much as possible when I have access to one! Here is a picture of one of my students using it in one of my keyboarding classes to improve his hand eye coordination!
I also try to implement:
-
Cloud Storage (dropbox)
-
Photo editors
-
Peer reviews (Online surveys)
-
And many more technologies
I try to use these tools to help enrich my students learning by providing them the resources and guiding on using them to provide authentic learning experiences. For a better look on how technology is implemented into one of my classes here is a link to my interactive web design class page that i developed during my practicum block at FRC http://mrporczek.weebly.com
