Here are some initial thoughts about the use of technological tools in a math and science classroom.<\/p>\n
Technological tools should encourage experimentation<\/strong> to construct understanding and show results in an efficient and effortless way. Changes and modification should be easily made and results should be displayed in a seamless way.<\/p>\n Technological tools should encourage social interactions<\/strong> where students reflect upon ideas and identify lines of thinking about a concept. Students should have options to share, view and annotate the contributions from their peers.<\/p>\n Technological tools should support documentation and assessment<\/strong> of learning. Educators and families should be able to track student learning.<\/p>\n Technological tools should be use in combination with support in regards with digital literacy<\/strong> and critical thinking<\/strong>. Students should be supported with additional skillsets to confidently utilize technological tools.<\/p>\n Technological tools should be used outside of the classroom<\/strong> to further support students\u2019 learning. Learning should continue after initial lesson and there should be tools like videos, social media platforms and social bookmarking sits to help consolidate learning and to further develop deeper understanding.<\/p>\n Although a classroom teacher is a one critical element in initiating the efficient use of learning technology, school wide and national policies should also reflect this priority. Schools should share their values about using technology in the classroom and provide professional development opportunities to its educators. National policies should reflect upon current research and trends to consistently support the development and use of educational technology.<\/p>\n Alice<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are some initial thoughts about the use of technological tools in a math and science classroom.
