  • We are wired that way. A story, if broken down into the simplest form, is a connection of cause and effect. And that is exactly how we think.
  • Why does the format of a story, where events unfold one after the other, have such a profound impact on our learning?
  • A story can put your whole brain to work.
  • Exchange giving suggestions for telling stories
  • a story is the only way to activate parts in the brain so that a listener turns the story into their own idea and experience.
  • Write more persuasively—bring in stories from yourself or an expert
  • The next time you struggle with getting people on board with your projects and ideas, simply tell them a story, where the outcome is that doing what you had in mind is the best thing to do.
  • The simple story is more successful than the complicated one

    This website discusses the importance of storytelling when teaching new material to a class. We felt like when most people think of storytelling they only think of teaching in that method to younger kids but it can actually be beneficial to all ages. We thought this website had a lot of good reasons and facts as to why storytelling can be beneficial in the classroom.

5 Reasons to Incorporate Technology into Your Classroom - 4 views

  •  
    Using technology in the K-12 classroom has benefits for students and teachers alike. Find out how it engages active learners, facilitates collaboration, and helps teachers succeed.
  •  
    This article gives 5 good reasons why technology should be used in a classroom, not only by teachers, but also by students. The 5 things are: engages students and creates active learners, encourages individual learning and active growth, facilitates peer evaluation, prepares students for the real world, and creates more engaged and successful teachers.
  •  
    Think that integrating technology into the classroom will only distract students and marginalize educators? Think again. Since students are already interested and engaged in technology, teachers can harness that attention for educational purposes. Incorporating the internet, laptops, tablets and even smartphones into the curriculum has many benefits for teachers and students alike.
