technology in the Classroom

To
add
technology
into
our
classrooms
we
will

need
to
change
the
culture
of
our
teaching
and

learning

Technology
can:

1.  Keep
students
focused
for
longer
periods
of
:me

2.  Make
students
more
excited
to
learn

3.  Allow
students
to
learn
at
their
own
pace

4.  Prepare
students
for
the
future,
our
technological
world

Most
kids
now
rely
on
the
internet
to
ﬁnish
homework,
the
informa:on

they
receive
in
class
is
just
minimal
to
what
the
internet
can
oﬀer

New
way
of
taking
notes,
or
recording
lectures

The
beneﬁts
of
technology

have
already
outweighed
the

textbook
style
of
learning

Classrooms
without
technology
are
just
not

s:mula:ng
enough
anymore
for
kids

Many
kinds
of
devices

are
now
at
our
disposal

all
varying
in
price

making
them
aﬀordable

for
families

Learning
is
not
set
in
stone,
it
is
constantly

changing.

Through
technology
we
can
integrate

the
social
worlds
in
our
teaching.

Beneﬁts
of
apps
as

educa:onal
tools:

1.  Apps
are

interac:ve

2.  Ability
to
track

progress
online

3.  Portability

(school
and

home)

4.  It
is
a
FUN

learning
tool

By
incorpora:ng
technology
in
our
educa:on
systems
we
will

be
able
to
ﬁll
the
gap
between
IEP
students
who
already
use

technology
as
aids,
and
our
main
stream
students

40%
of
families
now
own
tablets,
7%
of
children
have

their
own
tablets

“We
need
technology
in
every

classroom
and
in
every
student
and

teacher’s
hand,
because
it
is
the
pen

and
paper
of
our
:me,
and
it
is
the
lens

through
which
we
experience
much
of

our
world.”
–David
Warlick

Technology
allows
us
to
have
two
paths
to

choose
from
on
our
educa:onal
journey

People
are
not
becoming

more
tech
savvy,
instead

technology
is
becoming

easier
to
use,
or
in
other

words
KID
FRIENDLY

“Teaching
in
the
internet
age

means
we
must
teach

tomorrow’s
skills
today”
–
Jennifer
Fleming

With
the
use
of
technology
in
our
educa:on
we
can
create
mind
maps

that
help
store
every
li]le
idea
we
have
running
through
our
brains.

This
spikes
students
crea4vity.

School
simply
cannot
func:on
this
way
anymore,

the
world
has
changed,
we
have
become

dependent
on
our
technology

“We
live
today
not
in
the
digital,
not
in
the

physical,
but
in
the
kind
of
minestrone
that
our

mind
makes
of
the
two.”
–Paola
Antonelli

“Is
evolving
due
to
the
impact
of
the
internet.

We
cannot
teach
our
students
in
the
same

manner
in
which
we
were
taught.

Change
is

necessary
to
engage
students
not
in
the

curriculum
we
are
responsible
for
teaching,

but
in
school.
Period.”
–April
Chamberlain
