From the start of my teaching career, I integrated technology into my classroom. I used to be a rarity! People would come observe me using tools and ideas that today are commonplace in schools across the country. As education begins its transition into the 21st century, schools are quickly adapting by purchasing technology to aid instructional practices. Teachers are beginning to use these tools to have students conduct research, create multimedia, and take the lesson plan to a different, exciting level!
All of these are steps in the right direction. However, we must remember that this venture into the new land of Ed Tech must be rooted in best practices.
Using Roskos & Neuman’s article from The Reading Teacher as a guide, we’ll be discussing how educational technology can help teachers be more effective and engaging while being sure to implement best practices.
