Engaging 21st Century Students
Having students share content amongst themselves that’s created through the use of technology can be engaging and motivating.
Today’s students are more connected with technology both in and out of school and integrating the type of tools that create an interactive learning environment can reap great rewards for their future. The written book report can give way to a student-generated podcast to upload and share. Photographs to supplement a report or presentation can become digitized as images captured by the Diggiditto™ document cameras to be saved and shared online through a slideshow type of program for compare/contrast and constructive criticism discussions. Your class can welcome students from afar in a virtual learning platform with Skype through using a Webcam. Videos can be downloaded onto a mobile device and presented on a TV connected to PA (PA419) system to capture the interest of every student in class. Appealing to more of their senses can help them stay focused on the subject matter.

Each day that technology is utilized to aid students with their education is a day that helps improve their ability to learn. Appyling 21st century tech tools into your class can have mutual benefits for all parties involved.
