How do you feel about using technology in your classroom? Scared? Wary? Intimidated? Please don’t be scared or intimidated - just be open to try something small on a regular basis.
I’ve created this blog for you. I’ll suggest new topics, apps, technology tips, etc. that you can try in your classroom. You can start small and see how it goes. I’d like this blog to be open to your questions and input so that we can learn together. It want it to be practical to your learning needs and your students’ learning needs as well.
Before we start I want to clarify one thing. Technology is only ONE tool for learning. It is NOT the ‘be all and end all’ of learning. Using technology can change the way you approach some learning expectations in your classroom. It’s a great way to connect and collaborate with others globally, but once again, it is only ONE tool. You need to planned and purposeful with your learning goal in the forefront. Technology may help in your classroom, but it’s not everything. Please don’t think that technology is more important than learning, it’s just another route to get to our learning.
While I'm not scared of using technology in my classroom, I'm always on the lookout for new ideas. I look forward to reading more as you add to your blog!
ReplyDeleteI had originally thought of this blog for people who haven't started using tech because they don't know how to start, but, you're right! It can also be for those who are looking for new ideas! Thanks for your comment.
