Tips for Using Technology in the Classroom
from: http://www.teach-nology.com/ideas/technology/
from classroom teachers:
"Use technology to create portfolios of students' work. Teach your students how to create a web page where they can display there works, be it writing products, drawings, projects that they completed, etc. Teach them to use various technology equipment like scanners, digital photo capture, etc. so that they can include all medium in their portfolios. If they create a web page, they can work on their portfolios from home and you can visit their site and monitor work as it progresses. Student have fun doing it and you have a way to assess their work in progress."
"Get rid of the overhead projector and start using presentation software that will enahance your lectures. You can prepare your lectures on either "Microsoft Power Point" or "Corel Presentations." It is so easy to learn how to create slide presentations that you'll wonder why you might have waited so long! Once you get the hang of it, you can add graphics, sound, video, and so much more. Your lectures will never be the same. The students prefer this method so much more than straight lecture. It is great for visual learners and it also presents information in a much more appealing way. It is also a great way to file information that is so much easier to retreive than going through those paper files of the past! It's so much eGetting A Job Ice Breakers asier to manage your lecture material."
"I use www.quizlab.com as an assessment tool for all subjects in all grades. Students may test in pairs at home or school. There are hundreds of teacher made test available for you to import to your site. It is great fun!"
"Instead of giving my students a huge test over the planets as we finish the unit, I put them in groups and they had to pick a planet and do a power point presentation on the planet. I used a rubric I found here at TeAch-nology and grade while they present it. Works great! My grading time is virtually cut down 75%. They kids love it and feel they learned more than they would have with a test. Projects work- especially in May!"
"I have been using a puzzle site called "Wognum Brainwaves" http://www.wognum.se/brainwave as a great way to get my students going! It works equally well as a starter or to round up a lesson! It seems to work with all ages - not to mention my fellow teachers! ;) "
"Many teachers still use archaic paper flashcards that are small and deteriorate over time. Instead, use PowerPoint or Presentation software to create electronic flashcards. I write the definitions of vocabulary words as individual slides. I then do daily reviews with all of my students by changing the slide. Teachers can quickly change the order of slides using the thumbnail view. Reviewing takes mere minutes of class time daily. And teachers can check to see if students are studying for the test or quiz. As an added idea, teachers can give the quiz electronically. I copy the definitions, add numbers to the definitions, and then give students a blank piece of paper for a quiz. Set the flashcards to automatically change after 25 seconds (this seems to be a very fair amount of time from my experience). Teachers should place a little sound effect to notify students that the slide has changed. This method eliminates the need for quiz copies and giving students too much or too little time for a quiz."
