How to Develop Technology in the Classroom

Session 434

It has changed the very essence of daily life and revolutionised the way we work, play and interact. But has technology reached its full learning potential in the classroom? The picture seems mixed. While there is no doubt that technology has changed the admin of teaching, in lessons, technology is often still seen as an add-on or a simple replacement for traditional methods, rather than enhancing learning. But integrating technology into your teaching has so much more to offer.

In this #UKEdChat discussion, we discussed the current situation of technological integration, how technology can be used further to improve learning, and how to make the technology disappear as it becomes a seamless part of your repertoire.
