Are you wondering how to begin incorporating all of those cool technologies you found for Interactivity #3 into your real classroom?
Now that I've discovered all of these really cool technologies that I think will enhance student learning, I'm watching the schools I visit more closely to see how they are working new technology into the curricula. The following article looks at how one school district is doing just that! It also discusses some of the difficulties they are facing, such how gaps in funding play a role in bringing in new technology or struggling to maintain antiquated machines. Based on what we've already covered in this course and the school district in the attached article, I am anticipating that our generation of teachers will see a day when each of our students are supplied with a iPad or iPod instead of textbooks. Read this article and start thinking about how you'll put what you've found to good use! (And remember to think outside the box... many technologies can be used in other ways than just how they presented to us.)
The Pajaro Valley Unified School District is using technology to provide
teachers with resources that increase student engagement in a
technology-driven world.
