The 4 Ways Educational Technology Is Changing How People Learn Infographic presents how alters the way we learn.

Yes, it is not a surprise result. Enhancements in technology and devices changed people's life in many ways. For example, children meet technology and its opportunities before they meet books.Before being literate, children can learn many thing by playing games on tablets and using internet. Actually, it is an easy and preferable way for reaching knowledge.

Here are some ways we can follow to cultivate critical thinking in our students.

Here is the TPACK webpage. Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge

How can we adopt technology in our classrooms? Check the basics of the technology integration techniques, and TPACK is, of course, one of them.

Here is the website of Dr. Koehler whose paper we went through in our last session. This website is an invaluable resource which is full of great TPACK ideas.

The 6 Steps to Flipping A Classroom Infographic synthesizes the overwhelming to-do list of flipping your classroom into 6 easy steps that make the whole process a little less daunting. Plan Figure out which lesson you're going to flip. Outline key learning outcomes and put together a lesson plan.
