Using Technology in the Classroom
Using a Project-Based Approach to Learning in the Classroom
Using technology in schools is very important. Students today rely on technology to do a good percentage of their classwork. In doing this, the classroom is taken beyond four walls. Teachers can invite other classes from around the world into their own by simply Skyping. Blogs are also a creative way to incorporate technology in school as well as in the home. Teachers and students can blog about what they are learning and then parents, friends, and family can read all about it. I think it is a good way to get parents more involved and active in what is going on in the classroom.
Using technology in the classroom engages students and teachers to expand their search for new ways to create and learn. By using the internet teachers and students are able to broaden their research beyond the books and people that surround them. This also opens up opportunities to project-based learning in the classroom.
Project-based learning in the classroom is a different approach to the normal lecture and reading type of learning. Project-based learning is a fun and interactive way for students to learn and complete assignments. Along the way, students are not just completing assignments, they are learning life skills. Students are allowed to explore and discover new information on a topic by using the internet, create projects, and learn how to apply resources all within project-based learning. Project-based learning allows students to take learning into their own hands.
