It is important for teachers to choose wisely when implementing instructional strategies. When choosing instructional strategies teachers need evaluate the students ability and performance level. They need to think about the objective they want to assess. Many times teachers get caught up into creating big projects but forget about the objective. Using many different strategies within the classroom is key as well. The classroom is filled with many different learners; auditory, visual and kinesthetic. The teacher should try to meet all learners within teaching the same objective.
How do we keep the students up to speed with 21st century skills? There are many programs out there that students can use instead of paper and pencil or to speak out loud. Students can use venn diagrams and concept maps on the computer. Students can have conversations with students in other classrooms on a topic. Having the opportunity to discuss through the computer gets shy students to share ideas. Students can take online field trips of places to add their experiences. The possibilities are endless when implementing technology within our instructional practices.
Some educators may ask why do we have to implement technology? This is our future. Our society communicates through technology. They can share ideas and implement them much faster. If gives the teacher a quick way to assess an objective. It gives all students a chance to show what they learned.
Take a look on how technology is being implemented into this classroom and how the teacher is benefited.
