With the advancement in technology, it has become part of our daily lives. Students have different ways to engage in each lesson because it can be more interactive. Technology provides tools and resources to help students succeed in their learning. Tools like grammar check, AI and even games will help improve students critical thinking, writing skills and even research skills. Embracing the use of technology within the classroom will provide the knowledge and skill to help prepare the students to thrive in the digital world.

Personalized learning using technology can help students by utilizing tools to help tailor the students' learning to their individual needs. There are many resources and apps that can help provide the student with the appropriate content for that student's learning ability. There are sites where the teacher can assign work based on the students level, this allows the teacher to provide each individual student with what they require to be successful rather than teaching the class as a whole.

Students that have learning disabilities can utilize assistive technology to help integrate them into a regular classroom. There are tools like text to speech, speech to text, word prediction, and even tablets for students to talk to others using pictures. This technology does not only make classrooms inclusive, it can also help with communication skills, and increased independence.

With the vast use of technology, digital citizenship has become more important than ever

With the increase in bullying, it is important to understand how to recognize and handle cyberbullying. It is easier to bully from behind a screen. It is also important to teach about internet safety. Releasing personal information to strangers can be dangerous. People can find out things like where you live, how old you are, and who your friends are. Posting pictures can tell someone where you are or where you have been and if you are home or not. Another thing to be aware of is respecting others online. It is easy for messages to not be communicated properly with the lack of emotion you get from in person interactions.

I believe that embracing changes in technology is essential for ensuring engaging lessons and to stay current with the ever advancing technology

Keeping students engaged through a lesson is not an easy task. With the use of technology, this task can be easier. With the use of google classroom, educational games, google drive, and videos can help to keep the students engaged. Technology can help make students more comfortable. For instance, if a student who is not engaged in a lesson is shy, they may be more willing to interact using technology.

Conclusion

Technology can have its downfalls but the positives outweigh the negatives. Technology has been beneficial in helping keep students engaged, providing tools to make classrooms more inclusive and providing resources to help every student learn at any level. Using technology that we have access to, will allow teachers to create dynamic, student focused lessons much easier.
