New technology provides sexy alternatives to older methods of instruction and assessment. In the same conference, I spoke about my "podcast year" - when, as a first year teacher, I discovered the joy of digital microphones. Every piece of creative writing was recorded, an activity that ate up entire class periods. By the time I reached a unit where it actually made sense to capture student voice (speeches), the kids were ready to fight me. I too had allowed myself to be distracted.

As I waited for the plane to take off, I saw that the panel above me looked different than usual. Upon further inspection, I realized that the No Smoking sign had been replaced with this instruction: "Turn off Electronic Devices." It made me smile because I could see that I was on a newer plane -- and because I know there are teachers all over the country that wish they could have this sign blinking in their room at all times.

A lot of money that is invested in EdTech implementation is wasted because teachers are not trained to use technology effectively in daily instruction.

Moving endlessly from the typical system of educating and learning to the present age is seeing a change in perspective in the manner in which instructors are instructing, and students are absorbing the knowledge.

Most of the educationists have supported this expanded school time because it will help children to learn more instructions and lessons. Nowadays, school-going students become safer in school whose parents are working. It is observed in many studies that, there is no such co-relation between good academic results or achievements with long spanned school hours.

In the assignment writing industry, instructions and marking rubric are very important. Here, all things are clearly mentioned by institutions to follow. Missing of any points may lead towards deduction of marks.

"The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal directed (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells. What is in each cell? Within each cell of the Matrix one will find two lessons plans with a short video of the lesson. Each lesson is designed to show the integration of technology in instruction and classrooms as well as the Arizona Educational Technology Standards. "

Within this community your students use digital tools to create and develop a personal learning network.

I am currently exploring ways in which technology can enhance the learning environment and striving to define what it means to be creatively productive in a digital age.
