As an instructional leader, I test different technology tools and write summaries for my faculty. I upload summaries, videos and links to articles to the professional development modules for teachers to review. Many teachers are excited to learn more about integrating technology and look for educational technology. Others are not so excited, but will try to implement apps, software, and platforms recommended by the school or fellow teachers. My aim is to empower educators to create innovative and engaging learning experiences that inspire their students to reach their full potential.
When utilized correctly, technology can offer a wealth of benefits to both teachers and students. It can provide access to a vast array of resources, promote interactive and collaborative learning, and cater to diverse learning styles. However, simply incorporating technology into the classroom is not enough. To truly harness its potential, educators must be strategic in their approach and ensure that technology is used purposefully to support learning objectives.
