With so many academic resources available to teachers, it can be difficult to decide how and where they fit into instruction. What process will you use to go about identifying and evaluating active learning software for your classroom?
I am a firm believer in using technology and other resources in the classroom to enhance instruction. There is no technology that can replace traditional teaching and learning. Technology is meant to complement teaching, and I intend to use it in that manner in my own classroom. To me, it is important to be a part of a networking group of educators and instructional technologists. By having this group you can bounce ideas off of each other and learn from another’s experience. Investigating and implementing a new technology is tedious and time consuming but vital in the process for creating a conducive classroom learning environment. Though the networking groups are beneficial, I like to tinker with the new technology myself. Just because one person had a negative interaction with it does not mean that everyone will find that technology is not suited to their needs. I like to use the information from my peers to help guide my experience and enhance the process.
