Download or read book How to Use Technology in the Classroom written by Mohamed A. Ansary and published by Mohamed A. Ansary. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this short e-book, I shed light on the top tech tools that I rely on in my classes on a daily basis. I encourage you to try them and you will notice in a short period of time how effective these tools are. They will change your vision and philosophy of how you teach and how you trace the development of your students in a very interactive and engaging way. Do we really need to use technology-based tools in our language classrooms? Absolutely! It’s because students of this age are digital natives while we, teachers and parents, are digital immigrants. That’s why we have to know how to deal with those digital natives who are being raised acquiring technology as they acquire a language. However, technology-based tools change over time or become obsolete. What we use now may be replaced by a new tool next year. Who still remembers the chatting software icq? Why did “aol” lost its fame? Do you still remember the Hotmail messenger! It was number 1, years ago but now no one even remembers it. The bottom line here is that although tech tools change or disappear, pedagogical goals and principles hardly change. That’s why we need to choose the tools that fit the context and serve our goals and principles. We also need to adapt to changing technology to fulfill our pedagogical needs. With that being said, let me raise a question that may be in your minds right now. What technology-based tools do you use for increasing your students’ engagement, collaboration, interaction & multiple literacies in your classroom? Tools are abundant but the ever-increasing number of tools and free multimedia software can be confusing and even daunting for teachers. Choosing an appropriate technology-based tool to use in and out of the classroom should not be random. Every tool that the teacher uses should serve a specific and clear goal. Let me name some of the tools that I basically rely on in my classes. These tools can be used by k-16 teachers to engage their students in and out of the classroom. They can also use these tools to integrate culture into the classroom. Some other tools will serve how to increase students’ multiple literacies to support their intercultural competence. It is worth mentioning that all these tools and strategies address the 21st-century skills and ACTFL’s standards.

Download or read book Better Edtech Buying for Educators written by Iste Staff and published by International Society for Technology in Education. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on interviews with experts in the field, this booklet offers real-world examples of how educators can become active players in the procurement decision-making process. Frontline educators have a unique and invaluable perspective on adoption of edtech solutions that no other stakeholders have. They know what learning goals are difficult to achieve, have “on-the-ground” knowledge of what is age- and task-appropriate and know what tools students are more or less likely to use. Educators also have their own requirements for edtech solutions, for example, ease of use and accessible data to help them make informed decisions. However, too often, educators are left out of the evaluation and purchasing process that occurs at the district level. And even when they are involved, educators might not know what questions to ask or may not feel empowered to raise issues or point out potential problems. To take on a greater role in edtech decision-making, educators need to better understand the process and become more informed about the options available. That’s where this guide comes in. Topics include: • Supporting educators as critical consumers to help their school or district make informed decisions. • Alignment with learning and teaching goals, with emphasis on solving real problems for students and teachers. • Implementation and ongoing support to ensure that edtech solutions work in the classroom and that teachers feel supported in implementing them. • Data interoperability and student privacy. • Research and evidence that demonstrates a product’s potential. This guide highlights ways educators can contribute to their district’s purchasing and identifies key areas where educator insight can help others become more informed, critical consumers of edtech.
