Technology/ Online Tools
Online Tools are easy to learn and can be very beneficial in the classroom. There is an online tool for almost anything! I have found online tools enhance lessons and encourage participation. Using technology will excite students because they will get to use an iPad instead of using their regular pencil and paper. However, I want to limit the use of iPads and Padlet so that when it is used, students are excited and participate. Padlet can enhance my lesson by allowing me to attach videos, games, worksheets, songs, etc all to one board. I liked how there were many different layouts and how students can collaborate on one board together.
Technology is becoming more and more popular. Therefore, I believe integrating technology into the classroom is very important. The exposure early on will help students expand their knowledge, engage in new ways, and learn a new skill that will help them in the future. These are some of the different forms of technology I plan to integrate into the classroom.
