Classroom Technology: A Simple Model for Using it Effectively

WE OFTEN THINK THAT ALL TECH IS CREATED EQUAL…It’s not.   I love using tech in the classroom as a way to engage and motivate student learning.  Tech provides opportunities to support our students in ways that other learning methods can not.  These opportunities include things like adding audio support to read text to our students, or allowing students to record their responses rather than writing something.  Technology often helps us to eliminate barriers to learning success.But - just using classroom technology for the sake of using classroom technology is not an effective model for making decisions around technology with your students.I think learning with multimedia and technology is an essential component of a 21st century classroom, but technology comes in all shapes and sizes, and in this episode, I want to introduce a simple model that we can follow when making decisions about technology in our classroom so that we can use it in the most effective way!LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODEEPISODE 95: What is a 21st Century Classroom??EPISODE 97: Creating a Multimedia Classroom (Part 1: What the Research Says)EPISODE 98: Creating a Multimedia Classroom (Part 2: Applications for the Classroom)SAMR ModelJoin the LINKtivity Learning Membership and get access to my entire vault of LINKtivity Interactive Learning Guides - CLICK HERE to join.
