Integrating Technology Into the Classroom

by Elizabeth

Jan 21, 2012

Currently, future student teachers are asked to integrate technology into their lesson plans. Many of these lessons are written with the presumption that items like SmartBoard and overhead projectors will be readily available. In what ways can technology be integrated into classrooms that may not have access to such high tech equipment?

Katrina Hook Whatever the classroom has use it to its fullest potential. If it is only a few computers with internet access find some really good interactive sites that are related to what you are teaching.

Consider what technolgy can be donated. Even a few digital cameras, or one camcorder can make a lesson more exciting.

Erik S. Elizabeth,

Most digital teaching materials only require a computer.. Without an interactive whiteboard, you may lose the ability to have the whole class participate (unless the computer can be displayed on a television screen), however, students will still have the ability to read eBooks, play interactive games, watch educational video, et...See More

Incorporating Technology With History

by Mary Ann

Jan 22, 2012

I was wondering how I would incorporate technology such as stumbleupon or tumblr with a high school history class. I want to show my students that history is fun and cool and that you can access it in a way that they would usually use the internet for.

Thanks for your help!

Jenn S. Hi Mary Ann,

Have you seen Farcebook Online? It's like facebook, but students can make profiles for historical figures. I use it for the founding fathers when we hit our unit on the constitution. My students absolutely love it!

delelhla I agree! With students being more mobile within a state and between states, it is very important to have a common curriculum across the country. Of course this will be dictated by the college entrance exams because everything will have to be geared toward scoring well on those.

Is planning the biggest cause of stress?

by Tolo Taylor

Jan 28, 2012

Hello everybody,

I am interested. As student teachers, I realise that stress levels can be extremely high.

I was wondering what exactly is the biggest cause of stress. Is it the planning? (if so I have a file that may help you - [link removed])

However, I actually have a hunch that planning isnt the biggest stress - is...See More

Leah High stress levels of student teachers can be seen in various areas, depending on the student's strengths and the supervising teacher. If the teacher is disinterested, leaves the student alone with a new class with no support, THAT is most stressful.

Student teaching is always hard, but if he/she is fortunate enough to have an encouraging...See More

What would you do

by Spanish teacher

Feb 4, 2012

I am teaching in Spanish. My cooperating teacher thinks my Spanish is not good enough to keep student teaching this year. He has suggested to my University that I stop student teaching and get more practice in Spanish and try in the Fall. Would you do that?

Andy, you are out of line.. First of all, Spanish is NOT uselsss. We have the third largest Spanish speaking population in the world here-- the US has ten times more native Spanish speakers than Costa Rica. If you want any job in California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas or Florida it helps to know at least some Spanish. French is not useless, either.. just because we are lucky ...See More
