Technology is all around us. As educators, it is our duty to encourage our students to use modern technology in the twenty-first century. Technology can promote collaboration among students in the same classroom, at the same school, or even in classrooms around the world using technological tools. Although there are many benefits, sometimes there are flaws when using technology in the classroom. That is why it's EXTRA important to monitor and set boundaries with our students.
Some of the GREAT benefits when using technology with your students may include:
A More Engaged Learning Environment
Prepares Students for the Future
Connects Better with Students
Boosts Collaboration
Supports Learning
Virtual Field Trips
These benefits can be shown using various technological tools, depending on the age and level of the students. Education technology, smart video cameras, online books, and learning management systems are all forms of these materials.
FUN FACT!
97% of elementary schools and 100% of secondary schools report that at least some teachers use technology to communicate with students.
