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.

Introducing blended learning experiences in core subjects presents many opportunities over traditional print-heavy classrooms. Blended learning helps expand and customize learning opportunities to meet the needs of a broader group of students, making instruction more individualized.

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.

Making e-learners interested in the topics discussed within courses depends on a lot of variables. But no matter how difficult it may be to achieve student motivation, the tips and tricks discussed here will certainly come in handy.

Incorporating edtech in the classroom may be challenging for many teachers, but not impossible. In fact, more and more teachers across the globe are embracing it with various degrees of success. Let’s take a look at five ways educators can incorporate edtech in the classroom:

Augmented Reality is an interactive experience where technology is used to place a computer-generated image into the real world. By pointing a device’s camera at a given surface, the world around you can be transformed with augmented video, sound and graphics to entertain, engage or — for what we’re really interested in — educate the user.

Technology in the classroom continues to transform the way that teachers teach and students learn. From balancing a checkbook to understanding elements of nutrition, time management, and even how to work as a member of a group, edtech can help to bridge the gap between the classroom and real life.

Technology has made immersive learning a reality rather than an impossible notion. You can adopt various ways to make this possible in the classroom, including incorporating virtual reality, mixed reality, augmented reality, and gamification. Remember that integrating this form of learning in the classroom is for students’ benefits, and the return on investment is inherently rewarding, eventually.

Teaching children about financial literacy actually works, but it’s important to focus on skills applicable to children’s everyday lives, so they’re able to start relevant conversations with their parents at home. Ultimately, using education technology to teach finance to students provides them with a fun, interactive, and personalized learning experience which sets them up for success.

Teachers need to teach effectively as well as evaluate student performance and digital portfolios can be a good compromise between the two. In the end, students seem to benefit the most from this approach as they take a more active role in their learning. They are also encouraged to showcase their digital portfolios and take advantage of future opportunities.
