Hello, an happy Thursday bloggers!
Technology is a game changer in education, both in terms of teaching and learning. My experience interacting with technology, and the opportunity to embed technology into my teaching during my time in Teacher's College has taught be any avenues of teaching with technology. Most importantly, I have seen the engagement that technology can bring out in my students.
I have been exposed to, and experimented with countless resources online for different purposes, from creating podcasts, to making interactive PowerPoint presentations to representing information in different ways, such as through the use of timelines, gallery walks or word clouds. I have learned that there are so many possibilities out there, and that making lessons and presenting information to students can be unique every time.
I have also been learning more about coding, primarily through use of my blog. I have also seen some interesting programs to get students coding, some of which are themed - my favourite: Elsa and Anna skating program - to expose students to coding. Coding has quickly been added to the list of important 21st century skills that I wish to instill in my students.
The following video posted by SMART classrooms summarized the power of using technology in the classroom so well!
Looking forward to learning more!
Take care for now.
