As drones become more budget friendly and accessible, some schools have taken a particular interest in their potential uses in education. Aside from the major benefit of getting students into STEAM, drone technology is suitable for all subjects, ages and grade levels if operated under teacher supervision.
It would be such a missed opportunity for teachers to not do what they can to support their students and help them achieve their creative potential. This can be done through teaching for creativity, nurturing their intrinsic motivation, and questioning the fact that creativity isn’t for your students, among others.
More and more teachers are aware that in order to truly teach students, they need to break the barriers of the brick and mortar classroom. That means finding opportunities to learn together with other educators and students. A global classroom allows students to connect with other students from all around the world.
There are many ways in which educators can use digital storytelling, whether it’s for assignments, classroom teaching, or as a method to create a more inclusive learning environment. The greatest benefit is enabling students to find their own voice, their own strengths and talents, and giving them a space to use them to their full capacity.
Online training is a convenient way for teachers to learn at their own pace, throughout the school year, and a way for them to expand their personal learning network. Ultimately, the final goal should be to provide teachers with relevant training that can really help them become better professionals, more confident in their work, and more motivated to make a difference.

Teachers can optimize the learning environment and apply certain techniques to help students improve their focus. Here are six ways in which teachers can successfully manage off-task behavior:
A successful LMS launch means higher adoption rates and a higher level of satisfaction with the new platform. After all, schools want to get the full value of their investment in an LMS. Taking the steps (or just some of them) presented in this post can really help you start off on the right foot.
Students have an innate desire to learn that needs to be nurtured. This can be achieved through teaching practices that encourage learning autonomy, relatedness, and competence, the three core elements of the Self Determination Theory.
ALCs are here to challenge our assumptions that more seat time in a traditional lecture setting in HE equals better learning outcomes. In fact, it must just be the opposite. Here are what instructors and HE administrators should know about them:
HE organizations are trying to attract more students. In turn, class sizes are expanding and so are the costs associated with offering high quality programs. Some organizations have already started testing different solutions. Among them, are voice assistants that can be used during lectures or that function as personal assistants for students.
