Integrating Traditional and Cutting-Edge Technology Tools in my Classroom

Creating

I would integrate traditional and cutting-edge technology tools in the classroom to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment. I would incorporate whiteboards, manipulatives, and physical books for traditional tools to provide hands-on learning experiences. These tools allow students to interact tangibly with concepts and develop critical thinking skills. On the other hand, I would also leverage cutting-edge technology such as interactive smart boards, educational apps, and online resources. These tools can enhance student engagement, provide personalized learning experiences, and foster digital literacy skills.

Evaluating

I would employ a multi-faceted approach to evaluate the use of technology in the classroom. Firstly, I would observe students' active participation and level of engagement during technology-based activities. I would also collect student feedback through surveys or discussions to understand their experiences and preferences. Additionally, I would assess students' learning outcomes and progress using formative and summative assessments. It would help me gauge the effectiveness of technology integration and make necessary adjustments to optimize learning experiences.

Video

I chose an educational video demonstrating augmented reality (AR) use in the classroom. This video showcases how AR technology can bring abstract concepts to life and engage students in immersive learning experiences. Click here for the link: Discovery Education.
