10 Reasons to Incorporate Technology into the Classroom
- Technology touches almost every part of our lives. When technology is integrated into instruction, students are given the skills they need to survive and thrive in this technology-filled world.
- Teaching while using technology can keep students more engaged by giving them projects that enable them to share what they learn and teach others. The best kind of learning is done when we prepare to teach others. Engaged students are less likely to have behavior problems.
- Projects challenge students and force them to problem-solve. Doing this while using technology encourages students to press on until they complete the task.
- Working with technology provides more opportunities for students to work collaboratively as a team.
- Students have to seek out information, analyze it and produce results.
- Technology aids differentiation, helping teachers to more easily reach each of their students.
- Assessment can be done more easily and seamlessly while using technology.
- The role of the teacher changes to adviser and coach, placing the learning in the hands of the student.
- Technology keeps the most up to date information available to students and teachers.
- Learning tools can be more interactive, helping students to learn visually.
