  1. Integrating Technology: Things Every Teacher Should Know

  2. You Should Not be Intimidated by Technology Integration • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFRvI5KIUSE

  3. Technology Can Be Safe • Teachers should know that utilizing social media can be beneficial and safe. • Instead of looking at social media incorporation within the classroom as dangerous, teachers should look at using social media for the betterment of their own teaching and as an opportunity to teach students about “netiquette.”

  4. Gaining an Educational Edge • Using technology during curriculum development will give teachers an educational edge. Technology has opened the door for educators across the world to connect and share. • There are plenty of free websites that offer free lesson plan ideas, activities, videos and more that offer a change-up from the more traditional textbook approach. • Free websites: • TeachersPayTeachers.com • BrainPop.com • Teachers can use websites such as wordle.com to introduce new units to students with vocabulary word clouds.

  5. Using Technology and Teaching Content are not Two Separate Events • Technology should simply take teaching content to the next level. When technology is used appropriately in teaching in the classroom, possibilities are endless for each and every student. • Technology integration is about using technology to introduce and teach content in creative ways. • Technology integration should increase student engagement and student interest in the content.

  6. Differentiation Made Easier • Using technology levels the playing field for both students and teachers. • “Giving all participants access to the same tools enables teachers to activate a variety of learning and communication styles(School Improvement Network).” • Material practically differentiates itself when technology is integrated into the curriculum appropriately. • With technology, students can all be working towards the same goal and with the same material, but students can complete these tasks in their own ways to accommodate their own learning styles.

  7. Students Need Technology Integration • In order to prepare our students for the real world, we must look for opportunities within our teaching to incorporate real world problems. Part of doing this is to keep our students current with the world’s constant improvements in technology. • Technology integration plays a big role in accommodating different learning styles. Students must be encouraged to be creative and to think for themselves, and technology makes this easier. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY2mRM4i6tY
