8 Engaging Ways to use Technology in the Classroom to Create Lessons That Aren’t Boring

This article by Kelly Walsh lists eight different ways you can use technology to create engaging lessons for students in schools.

Her first way was to gather student input on different assignments. Her second way was to make it into more of a game, her third way was for students to create things, her fourth way was being interactive with it like using online whiteboards, her fifth was having students collaborate more, her sixth was project based learning, her seventh was simulations, and her eighth was live guest speakers via Skype.

I really liked this article. I found some of her ideas quite intriguing. For instance, I like the idea of setting up a Skype with someone from the outside world that would have great information on a subject. Another way I liked was her idea about simulations. Those seemed like cool ideas that I would want to potentially look into. Finally, I like the student feedback. I think it is always important for you to stay up to date on practices, and students can tell you if they are engaged or not.
