ferrari78 on 09 Feb 15It's true, all classrooms need to start using technology in the classroom and teachers need to take the time to learn about emerging technologies to use to improve students academic success.

Rosalyn Martinez on 09 Feb 15I completely agree with you! However, I do feel that the reason for our delay in integrating technology in classrooms is solely due to lack of proper training & experience. We must do all we can to properly educate our teachers and help build their confidence with tools that are foreign to them.

I really like how this article gives teachers ideas about how to integrate the technology into their classrooms. I think all to often we focus on just learning all these new tools. I have many teachers in my district that know how to use the tools, but they don't know how to use them with their curriculum. I do however, notice that a lot of this article focuses on the secondary classrooms. Primary is often forgotten in many of these types of articles so it's important for us to make sure we are looking at the entire spam of grade school.

I love the ideas, I jotted some down for me to use as well. I think when teachers are mandated to use technology in the classrooms they can sometimes be fearful of what that entails. I know the teachers on my campus at times fear meeting with me to start planning because they assume its a huge ordeal and they will have to adapt their teaching around the technology, when it is in fact the opposite! The best way, in my opinion, to integrate technology is to make the technology work for you!

Great and interesting article. I love the ideas that we have to incorporate technology into our daily lessons. The students from this century are already born with digital literacy in them. It is what motivates them, so why not allow them to use it for educational purposes. Teachers are not properly trained and they are instructed to keep teaching because the students will TEST.
