Statistics show that online tools, when used efficiently and effectively, engage a higher ratio of students in the classroom because they cast a wider net, grabbing different learners in multiple ways that a simple lecture or discussion may not.
Following best practices for educational technology will help to allay any fears as well as provide a better experience for your learners. Consider that you already employ many best practices in your teaching; educational technology follows similar principles.
Easy Multimedia Tips for High School Teachers:
- The first and foremost recommendation for classroom technology use is simple but significant: always use technology with a purpose and goal.
- Choose your technology. Will you get the most use from a wiki? Blog? Website? Group? Whatever you choose, understand that you are creating a virtual bookshelf for all of that information---grading notes, extra-credit announcements, links to excellent articles---you would normally print off and send home in the form of handouts. Technology will keep your hard work organized and accessible fromvirtually anywhere.
- A wiki is the most open media, allowing students to fully engage by providing them an online forum where they can add agenda items and comments, attach documents, create work flows and more.
