AMCMS Principal's Office
What's Going on in the Principal's Office?!
My Challenge to You
Watch the video above, it will just take about a minute.
What do you think? Does it make you think about the role of technology in today's world? Do you think students would use this app if / when the know about it?
Knowing these types of apps are out there how will you work with this instead of against this? How can you use technology more effectively to enhance student learning in your content areas?
I know this app is about math but there are other apps and websites out there for different content areas. One of my favorites is Wolfram/Alpha which is a search engine that is able to compile information from across the internet and place it at your finger tips. There are free and paid versions of Wolfram/Alpha but if you know how to use Google effectively that is really all you need. Here are just a couple of examples:
- Do you want to compare George Washington to James Monroe? Click here
- Do you need to learn more about Newton's Laws? Click Here
- Do you need to compare works of art? Click here
Think back to our conversation in August about phones and relevance in learning to students. We can make students place the devices in their pockets and risk losing their attention because school seems like a step backwards to them. Or we can figure out how to embrace the technology that is out there and use it to our advantage to enhance student learning. It is not about using MORE technology. It is about using the technology we have available today MORE EFFECTIVELY in our work with students.
Think. Achieve. Succeed.
