  • Yes, technology plays an important role in today’s classrooms. While the pace of change has accelerated, however, one constant remains the same: Good teachers are critical to delivering an effective learning experience
  • Technology can play a critical role—but only when the technology supports the approach, the teaching philosophy and the goals that educators, students and families have agreed matters the most.

  • Perhaps more important than the content we teach are the life skills we model by embracing these ­concepts. Using social media in the classroom allows teachers to remind students of the power their words can have online. This understanding will be crucial as they head to ­college, start a career and become adults in a ­digital world.

    Anyone can look up Benjamin Franklin on Wikipedia and create a PowerPoint presentation of the information found there. Creating a fake Facebook wall for Benjamin Franklin that delivers the same ­information, but from the perceived perspective of Benjamin Franklin himself, adds a level of higher-order thinking to the activity that students will long remember.

Educating in the 21st Century: You Don't Know What You Don't Know - 2 views

  • Sadly, what dawned on me is that as hard as I had once worked as a teacher, I had restricted myself by my own educational paradigm. I had been stuck within a paradigm of 'coverage' and in hindsight I realize that all of the improvements I had made were incremental at best.

"We've been studying 1:1 programs and what's made them successful," says Edward Salina Jr., assistant superintendent for human resources and administration.

  • Jody Bowie, a high school physics and earth science teacher at Putnam City High School in Northwest, Oklahoma, uses this program to push his students to write their own textbook. He uses an iPad in the classroom, taking advantage of the long battery life and his ability to import Google documents into the program for maximum flexibility.

Every Teacher an Innovator | Edutopia - 0 views

  • In 2014, that's no longer a very good excuse for not leveraging technology to provide the best teaching as an educator. Using technology every day and being innovative aren't the same.
