Top 5 Benefits of Technology in the Classroom

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Technology has transformed life as we know it, and the classroom looks much different than it did 50—or even 10—years ago.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For decades, computer labs have been a fixture in schools of all levels, from elementary to high school. Newer tech, like tablets and smart boards, has also entered mainstream use in schools. Technology has become such a fixture in both industry and everyday living that many educators believe students should be introduced to tech early so they understand how to use it. Others stress tech's ability to provide interactive learning experiences as a big positive.

Both schools and individuals can find lots of tech tools and services to boost their educational efforts. Below, experts from Forbes Technology Council outline some practical, easy-to-implement ways to leverage modern technology for education.
1. E-Learning And Online Courses
I have the privilege of serving on my high school's alumni board, and we work hard to enhance the experience for current students. We implemented Coursera to help supplement the engineering program at Bronx Science at a relatively low cost. This wasn't an option when I was a student 20 years ago, and I'm excited that the students are exposed to college-level tech courses early. - Tim Maliyil, AlertBoot
2. Student Progress Tracking
As more course material, tests and assignments are distributed and submitted using classroom technology, there comes the ability to monitor student progress at the touch/typing level. Knowing which tasks or problems a student finds difficult (using how long they take, intermediate results or how many times they have started over) could be used to customize or target learning. - Chris Kirby, Retired
3. Virtual Classrooms For Sick Days
Many adults work remotely full time or at least some of the time. Today's students should be allotted that option when they are sick or have extenuating circumstances that are keeping them from being physically present in the classroom. Teachers would just need to set up a camera to record the day's lessons, and students would be able to follow along and complete the day's assignments online. - Marcus Turner, Enola Labs
4. Connected Classrooms
If more classrooms were connected across the country, then students could work on projects with other students located elsewhere or run competitions against each other. This makes learning more interesting and engaging while encouraging more collaboration. - Chalmers Brown, Due
5. Secured Personal Devices
Security and management have always been a significant issue in the educational environment. By leveraging easily secured and future-proof technologies such as Chromebooks and tablets, schools can enable services to be delivered with centralized management combined with comprehensive data storage and protection. This allows students to get more out of their technology and prevents security issues. - Danny Allan, Veeam Software
6. Tech-Enabled Student Presentations
Assigning a project that requires the students to use tech to both create and present their final work encourages the real-life application of software and hardware in both research and execution, offering an opportunity to gain comfort with using tech in all aspects of their work. Making this practical instead of theoretical will provide marketable life skills. - Kerry Bianchi, Visto
7. Math Learned Through Coding
One of the reasons kids disengage from math is that they don't know when they will actually use what they are learning in real life. If instead you give them a reason to solve a formula, such as creating a video game, they will be much more engaged and interested. - Thomas Griffin, OptinMonster
8. Google Classroom And G-Suite
The use of Google technologies for schools, especially Google Classroom and G-Suite apps, can bring students to the reality of technology. These products have allowed students and teachers to work better together. With the use of a Google Doc, students can submit their assignments, which are saved automatically. It also helps teachers organize and allow for more collaboration among their students. - Bruno Guicardi, CI&T
9. Educational Smartphone Apps In The Classroom
Leverage is the key word here: Let students use their phones. The approach is incredibly common at university level, but it remains a stigma in younger classes. A huge number of educational apps, "free" graphical calculators and so on go to waste. Phones can be a real distraction for students if they're not taught how to use them wisely: This can be a good way to start. - Artem Petrov, Reinvently
10. Voice Assistant Devices
Classrooms can use voice assistants to play games, set timers and even answer questions. By using voice as an interface, teachers can improve classroom productivity. Asking Google or Alexa a question is much easier than searching for the correct answer on a computer. Since most homes already have voice assistant devices, learning can easily expand outside of the classroom too. - Jaydev Ajit Kumar, Hype AR Inc.
11. Chatbots For Extra Help
There are always some shy students in classrooms. No matter how much we try making them comfortable, they hesitate to raise their hands. How about the addition of a chatbot to ask questions that these students don't want to ask the teacher in class? Students are generally good with texts, so let's bring the learning to the devices/methods they are already comfortable with. - Vikram Joshi, pulsd
12. Chat Rooms For Homework Help
In the new Incredibles 2 movie, the dad is seen helping his son with homework that he himself doesn't understand. How great would it be to give students a way to help and support each other so that everyone feels included and has a helping hand? The teacher shouldn't get sucked into any extra work but should just monitor the chatroom for cheating or bullying. - Arnie Gordon, Arlyn Scales
13. Video And Multimedia Instruction
We live in an on-demand world. There's no reason this can't help us within education as well. The instructor no longer needs to be the only source of knowledge. Direct instruction can be accomplished via video/multimedia, which frees up the teacher to work in small groups and one-on-one and help with things that would traditionally be homework. On-demand classrooms mean student-paced learning! - Michael Zaic, RockYou
14. Online Lesson Reviews
Having an overview of lessons to reference after class allows students to focus more attention on the concepts presented during the class. Plus, any students that miss class can easily learn more about what they missed. Finally, it saves teachers time by minimizing the need to create study guides. If teachers use slides during the lesson, it can be as simple as posting those same slides online. - Matthew Kolb, High-Schools.com

When Yolanda and her classmates enter their ninth grade music class, they immediately notice an interactive whiteboard. Musical notes scroll across the screen. Yolanda quickly identifies the notes independently and then watches a slowed-down version of the musical note display so the class can check her answers. Next, the teacher uses the interactive whiteboard to illustrate how to read and write music on staff paper. Yolanda and her classmates interact with the whiteboard to update the musical notes on the same "document," creating a collaborative composition available online.

Interactive whiteboards and other technologies transform classrooms, making them more interactive, student-centered, and customized to individual students' learning styles. Gamified learning applications, shared online calendars, and the integration of digital content into lessons are only some of the technologies that can improve communication among parents, teachers, and students; foster student enthusiasm; and bring classrooms to life.

Integrating technology in the classroom requires expertise. To harness technology's power to make classrooms inclusive, interactive, and engaging, teachers need the right training. Louisiana State University's Master of Arts in Education with a concentration in Educational Technology is designed to help teachers innovate ways to use technology and create exciting learning experiences.

How to Integrate Technology in the Classroom

Many learning technologies and tools boost a teacher's ability to engage students, as they facilitate access to a multitude of resources and interactive activities. Below are examples of technologies that can benefit teachers and students alike.

Computers and Tablets

Educators can take advantage of computers, laptops, and tablets, allowing students to play educational games, watch videos, and interact with new media. These devices also give students access to the internet to conduct research, access databases, and visit educational websites. For example, a history teacher instructing a unit on the Medici family's cultural influence could have students take a virtual tour of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, and go on an online scavenger hunt for Medici-commissioned art.

Smartboards

Educators can keep the learning environment interesting and maximize efficiency by using smartboards in the classroom. With an interactive whiteboard, teachers can bring up supplementary imagery readily, play videos, allow students to collaborate in real time on the display, and share notes on a class wiki or website. A smartboard can make lessons more engaging and can make it easier for students to return to the notes when class is over. Additionally, these devices can support a variety of subject-specific learning apps.

Virtual Reality

Virtual reality (VR) is becoming increasingly common, as are its applications in the classroom. Teachers can use this technology to come up with creative ways to instruct students in everything from a cell's structure to the invasion of Normandy. Other forms of immersive media, such as organizing virtual field trips to Ellis Island and other historic sites, can give students new perspectives and deeper understandings of subject matter. Interactive VR games can also offer new exciting ways to teach subjects such as biology. One immersive VR game takes students inside a human cell and uses interactive activities to teach them about DNA, RNA and proteins.

Social Media

Educators can leverage social media to create groups, hashtags, or other opportunities for their students to interact with material and each other. For instance, English teachers could create a Facebook group where they post discussion topics about Shakespeare's Macbeth, giving students the chance to ask questions or comment as they read the play. Teachers could also upload several versions of one scene and ask students to share how they would direct it. Additionally, teachers can invite students to upload their own video or article links related to a specific theme in the play.

Benefits of Integrating Technology in the Classroom

Integrating technology in the classroom enlivens learning and offers other advantages as well.

Access

Technology helps ensure that both teachers and students can easily access class materials anytime with lessons synced to the cloud, supporting videos and graphics uploaded to Google Classroom, and upcoming assignments displayed on a shared calendar.

Interactive Learning Experiences

Student engagement increased by 55% after the introduction of smart technology into classrooms, according to a Gallup survey summarized in Entrepreneur's "How Smart Class Technology Is Benefiting Education Sector." With technology on hand, teachers can illustrate ideas using interactive media. Whether building collaborative wiki pages with class notes or playing educational games on tablets, students can engage interactively through technology.

Excitement

Students undoubtedly enjoy using technologies such as VR and tablets, which can hold their attention with videos, graphics, and other media. Fun technology inspires students to continue learning and creates intrinsic motivation. In turn, it builds classroom morale and makes teachers' jobs easier.

Integrating Technology in the Classroom: An Overview

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Today's teachers are equipped with more technological tools than ever before. According to Digital Education , 94 percent of schools report that digital learning is happening in at least half of their classrooms. Integrating technology into the classroom not only makes learning more relatable but also provides an opportunity for deeper, more personalized learning for each student.

Technology is a multi-faceted advantage for classrooms that can impact students and educators in a variety of ways. Read on to explore real-world examples of technology's positive impact on learning.

How Technology Can Impact Student's Learning

Even the best teachers deal with resistance from students either because the student cannot relate to the teacher or they cannot relate to the subject material. The best thing an educator can do for a student is to empower them to be responsible for their learning. Technology helps them do this with very little upfront training.

GoGuardian , a device management solution company for classrooms says, "With technology in hand, students suddenly become the builders of their own knowledge, and they experience a greater sense of independence and autonomy from using digital tools to augment their understanding."

Along with making learning more personalized to each student, technology is also helping teachers, students, and their families connect increasingly outside the classroom. Students can reach out for extra help or resources when they need it, and families can work together with their child and their child's teacher for optimal learning.

Benefits of Integrating Technology into the Classroom

There are many ways to enhance a classroom with technology. Here are two examples of why using tech in the classroom gives students the extra learning edge.

Students Can Set Their Own Pace

Joan Giblin, PhD, an assistant teaching professor in the Graduate School of Education at Northeastern University, explains that the use of technology has become common in the K-12 setting. "Students can work ahead or review content according to their needs," she says. "This allows students to proceed at their own pace and receive specific reinforcement on some content and access more challenging content as needed."

Connecting Students to the World with Social Media and Virtual Reality

Imagine being a teacher based in Boston and teaching your class about Switzerland. Your lesson might fall a little flat with just a book's description and photos of the country. Utilizing technology, your class can conduct a virtual chat and interview with a class in Switzerland. They might be able to write and send emails to a government official who is happy to answer questions about the country or even use virtual reality tech to take tours of landmarks and local museums.

Ways Teachers Integrate Technology to Improve Outcomes

Gamification Makes Learning More Rewarding

Most students naturally love games, whether video games or board games. Children especially are wired for fun , which can make sitting still in a classroom for several hours a day difficult. Not all gaming is bad, and Psychological Bulletin reported that 10 to 30 hours of select gameplay per week can improve a student's spatial cognition and multitasking ability. Teachers are using gamification strategies to drum up interest in a specific subject or to help young minds dive deeper into a topic without relying solely on books and lectures. For example, instead of another worksheet on vocabulary words, an app or game that features silly cartoon monsters can be used to help kindergartners have fun while learning basic phonics.

Gamification doesn't always require technology . A trivia game created from your history lesson on a dry erase board would be a form of gamifying, too. However, children are entering classrooms addicted to technology , so using the technology they are familiar with to teach them new subjects is a practical way to connect with the modern student.

Gamification can help with student's social and behavioral development as well. "I am particularly intrigued by the growing trend of creating games to assist students with developing socio-emotional regulation," Giblin says. "This has the ability to help students with difficulties in these areas gain mastery, allowing them to better engage with their academics."

Technology Allows Students to Do More

A few decades ago, students were limited in project creation. For example, if a class wanted to collaborate to write a book, getting it published in a timely and affordable manner was not a possibility. Similarly, recording any audio or video required expensive and specialized equipment. Now, many students have easier access to technology, making goals like these possible.

"Technology allows students to author and create their projects, moving them into higher-order learning," Giblin says. "Instead of reading about a topic, students can create and author learning experiences for themselves and others. For example, a middle school class discussing empathy may interview different people about their understanding of what it means to be empathetic."

Giblin explains that through the use of technology, the students are able to detect patterns and non-verbal responses when they analyze the interviews. They are then able to create their own content based on what they learned to teach their classmates.

How Teachers Can Utilize Technology to Have a Greater Impact

As an educator, you have access to millions of teachers worldwide at your fingertips. Use technology to connect with them and share ideas. Ideas and resources from others with different teaching styles, grade levels, and viewpoints are easily accessible. For example, you might learn a new strategy for teaching cultural awareness from a teacher overseas, or your unique idea on how to conduct collaborative screenwriting with a tablet might inspire a teacher across the country.

Technology is never meant to replace a trained and caring teacher, though. Instead, technology-driven education can benefit both the educator and the student by allowing them to make the classroom experience unforgettable.

Formative Assessment Technology Tools

Formative assessment tools allow teachers to assess student learning and provide feedback in order to gain understanding. Teachers can use formative assessment many times throughout the class to gauge their students' learning; formative assessment is typically done in a low-stakes context. Psychology teachers can use formative assessment in their classes to ask a short series of questions about a lecture, reading or specific learning objective. Although this could be done on paper, the beauty of adding technology tools to the classroom for formative assessments is that they can provide instant feedback. Feedback helps to reassure students about what they know and can guide how they use their time to study. A teacher could use Socrative or the Google Forms quiz feature which allows a teacher to not only instantly show the correct answer, but also to include an explanation for why an answer is correct.

For more on using formative assessment tools in the high school psychology class, see Technology Tips & Tricks: Assessment and Engagement.

Interactive Lecture Technology Tools

Whether or not you are flipping the classroom, interactive lecture tools can be helpful in engaging students with the lecture content. Some interactive lecture tools (e.g., PollEverywhere, Google Q & A) allow teachers to ask questions of students during their lecture, providing an opportunity for the teacher to assess student learning of the material while at the same time promoting student engagement. Peardeck and Nearpod let teachers create interactive slideshows that give a space for students to respond to formative assessment prompts, such as to draw a neuron, right in the middle of a lecture. These tools are great for asking students to demonstrate understanding while giving direct instruction.

For more on using interactive lecture tools in the high school psychology class, see Using Technology to Help Students Understand Content and Participate in Metacognitive Skills.

Social Learning Technology Tools

Social learning tools allow students to interact with each other, the teacher and the course content. A teacher might choose to pose questions to students via a social learning tool outside of class hours so that students can be encouraged to think about the material outside of class. Additionally, students can interact with their teacher by asking questions. For example, teachers could use the website or app Flipgrid to have students respond to their classmates' video discussion posts. Students could use Padlet to share resources for a topic or answer an opening hook question. Students could also collaborate through any of the tools in the Google Suite for Education.

For more on using social learning tools in the high school psychology class, see Using Tech Tools in Your High School Psychology Classroom.

Creation Products Technology Tools

Assessments in our online, blended and face-to-face classrooms take many forms. At the highest level of Bloom's Taxonomy and Webb's Depth of Knowledge is the ability for students to create their own learning product. These tools are engaging and focused on providing students with opportunities to do just that. Piktochart and Venngage provide tools and templates for students to create their own infographics. Soundtrap, Prezi and Screencast-o-matic are tools that students can use to create stimulating audio and visual presentations that can be shared with their peers. Teachers can have students use Soundtrap to produce a podcast on a topic or share an interview they conducted.

For more on using creation technology tools in the high school psychology class, see Audience Members, Collaborators and Competitors: Technology Tools to Connect.

Mobile Apps Technology Tools

In our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and 1:1 environments, use of mobile apps can be invaluable. Almost every tool has website access and can also be downloaded as an app. Popplet, for example, is a tool for creating cognitive maps which can help students to learn and reinforce connections between constructs or topics. Plickers is an app that does not require students to have their own devices, but rather allows teachers to collect real-time formative assessment data.

For more on using mobile apps in the high school psychology class, see Technology Tips & Tricks: Assessment and Engagement.

Teacher Technology Tools

Suggested tools in this category relate to classroom management. Leveraging technology like Planboard , for instance, can help with organization and lesson planning and allows for lesson plans to be shared with substitute teachers or student interns. It also allows teachers to import lesson plans from other teachers as well. Tools like Zipgrade and Akindi not only provide seamless and rapid grading, but also provide item analysis that can be used to improve and review classroom teaching. Technology tools for classroom management include:

Please Note

Technology changes frequently and the tools listed above are a snapshot of what is available at one point in time in 2019. The TOPSS Committee will review this listing on an annual basis to make updates as needed. Also, when using technology in the classroom, teachers should always consider any potential pitfalls in using these technologies. For example, lack of good classroom wifi (and for tools used outside the classroom, student home access to the Internet) or lack of current technology in the classroom (e.g., not enough or no computers or tablets) should be considered before using any tool in the classroom. When tools are more complex, class time will need to be spent teaching students how to use the technology and troubleshooting when things go wrong. Teachers should consider how comfortable they are with the amount of class time needed to introduce a new tool in class before adopting a particular tool. An additional issue with third party tools like those listed above is data security. Teachers are encouraged to find out if student data are kept private with any of the tools above and may want to check with the school principal if there are privacy or security questions.

Finding creative ways to use technology in the classroom can both make your life easier as a teacher and boost student excitement levels and engagement with lessons. From helping with communication among teachers and students (as well as peer-to-peer), to organizing curriculum calendars and enhancing presentations and lessons with media and visuals, there is no limit to the ways to use technology in the classroom to create an enriched learning environment. Here are just a few examples:

1. Gamified learning

To this day, I give all credit for my skill in typing to time spent playing typing games in the computer lab of my elementary school. Not only were the games incredible, and incredibly engaging programs for teaching students typing skills, they made using a computer fun and exciting for me and set the foundation for all other computer knowledge I've gained since. Learning can and should be fun and using technology for gamified learning in your classroom can be advantageous to achieving that goal. One example of a gamified learning experience is Giant Steps, a digital learning experience designed to help K-12 teachers boost student collaboration and independent practice, from the makers of GoGuardian Teacher and Pear Deck, two of the world's most popular learning platforms.

While learning software can be a great teaching tool, gamified learning can also be as simple as creating a virtual scavenger hunt by coming up with a list of questions for students to search and find the correct answers for and adding students to pairs or groups to encourage collaboration and teamwork.

2. Digital field trips

An increasingly popular, useful, and cost-effective tool for teachers searching for new ways to use technology in the classroom is taking digital field trips. Google Streetview and other similar apps allow you to virtually explore parks, forests, and even national and international landmarks from the comfort of your classroom. Virtually experience the view from the Statue of Liberty or hike through the Grand Canyon to get students excited to learn about a location or subject and extend learning beyond the page.

3. Integrate social media

Because students already spend so much of their time on social media, integrating its use into your classroom is among the most innovative ways to use technology in the classroom by connecting students to curriculum, classroom resources, and one another. Create a Facebook group specifically for your class where you post discussion topics or develop unique classroom Twitter hashtags students can use to discuss lessons or ask questions.

4. Gather student feedback

The true test of any classroom structure and/or curriculum is how well it helps students learn, and getting feedback from students is vital to assessing this, determining what is and isn't working, and addressing problems and confusion as they arise. Use online surveys and polls to perform daily or weekly check-ins with students to get their opinions on lessons and address lingering questions or concerns. Expand on the usage of Twitter hashtags by having students tweet their feedback and questions with a classroom hashtag.

#QTNA (questions that need answers!)

5. Creating digital content

Creating digital content related to the things they are learning is a great way for students to display their individual creative talents as well as showcase learning. As with any other project, the process of creating content is most effective when students are able to express themselves in ways that highlight and accommodate their personal strengths and learning/communication styles. Provide options for students to express themselves through blogs, videos, podcasts, eBooks, flyers, other digital art, or any other means they feel most comfortable. Respecting each student's individuality and needs for creative expression helps them flourish as learners.

6. Using a classroom calendar

Develop a shared online calendar for your classroom through Google Calendar or a similar program for posting important updates. Post assignment due dates and classroom events (such as field trips and guest speakers) in one easily-accessible location for both teachers and students. Go a step further and share the calendar with caregivers to keep them connected and engaged with their child's learning.

7. Review and critique webpages

While we know you can find almost anything on the internet, we also know much of what you may find is not reliable information from reliable sources. I remember being told frequently by teachers and professors, "Wikipedia is not a reliable source" when doing research papers, but can't recall a single instructor who explained why. Empower your students with digital literacy to analyze and discern reliable web pages and sources from unreliable ones by reviewing them together and developing and communicating standards for what makes a good source.

8. Video/multimedia lessons and presentations

Bring presentations to life for students by incorporating visual effects, photos, videos, and music into them. Developing slideshows and digital presentations, playing music or a video for background and context while presenting, or inviting virtual guest speakers to engage with your class via programs designed for conference calls (such as Skype, Google Hangouts, and Facetime) are all fun and creative ways to boost engagement with lessons while teaching the benefits of technology and multimedia use.

9. Online activities for students who finish work early

Set up learning stations to encourage and support students working at their own pace. If a student finishes an assignment early, rather than being stuck waiting for other students to catch up or class to end, students can extend and enhance their learning by visiting a learning station and watching videos, playing learning-based games, or exploring other online activities related to their studies.

Why students benefit from using technology in the classroom

Integrating technology into classrooms allows for more (and more effective) communication between students and teachers, as well as students, peers, and caregivers, all of which are vital to students' academic success. Using technology in your classrooms also creates space for students to have a voice in their learning. Students are empowered to take responsibility of their learning through giving feedback on lessons, participating in projects and learning activities that respect their individuality, and having opportunities and support to learn and understand how to use technology creatively, effectively, and safely.
