Online Resources for Interactive Learning

With recent advances in technology, there are so many methods to teach and learn. Recently, we learned how to use Pear Deck, which is a tool that can be used for alternative forms of engagement. In Pear Deck students can draw, write, drag items, and vote on polls. The teacher can also share students interactions with the material to the whole class to share insights. Through Kahoot, Pear Deck, Seesaw, Flipgrid, and many more sites, we can request students to respond to their learning through creative means. In Seesaw, students can create an answer to an assignment through a video, drawing, etc., and upload a unique response. In Kahoot, students can have fun reviewing material either as individuals or teams through a game-like activity.

Using Technology to Make Connections Around the World

One way we can use technology in our classroom is to help students connect with people from all around the world. Students can learn to use the internet to explore their curiosities and inquire information from people who are experts in their field. For example, by creating a classroom twitter, students can reach out to book authors and ask them questions about story-writing; or students who have questions about space, can ask astronauts online for more information. However, this media would have to be monitored greatly to ensure that it is a safe space for students.

Through the use of technology, students can also connect with a classroom from a different culture. For instance, a teacher could contact schools in South Korea, and ask them to be pen pals with their classroom for a culture exchange interaction.  Instead of only writing to each other, students can now send videos, music, drawings, or literally anything to their new friends! Technology continues to advance and there are so many things left to discover, learn, and adapt for out teaching uses. Little by little we can continue to use technology to help out students learn from many areas of interest.

Technology is a part of the every day lives of our students. As educators it is important to recognize the way our students process information has changed and provide them opportunities to use technology as a problem-solving tool as they would in their every day lives.

Explore different technology tools we can use and get comfortable with them. Be intentional to provide meaningful learning experiences and to give our students autonomy in their learning process. See technology as a tool instead of removing it from the class. Teach our students to leave a positive digital footprint and to navigate the internet
responsibly.

Having an online space where students can come to learn, get information, and find resources is important during distance learning and the regular school year! Using Google classrooms and Google sites has allowed me to practice building a useful space for students and families.
