Digital Learning Trends to Include in Your Day

Digital learning is still not loved by everyone – – but we know it’s here to stay! So, how can we get the most out of technology inclusion in our classrooms? Here’s a few of my favorite inclusions:

1. Incorporating more mobile devices in your learning time.  Use phones to vote or participate in lectures and online lessons!
2. Using social networks to collaborate in group learning. There are a lot of ways that you can base a class/group project on a social media platform. Create a FB group page and then you can easily add blog entries, project outlines, and more!
3. Use augmented reality for virtual field trips or even science experiments. These field trips look cool.
4. Teach about coding and game creation. There are a lot of free resources out there like Code Combat.
5. Use game based assessment. It’s unbelievable how this method can take away a lot of the typical testing jitters. We love testing our spelling words online, it’s a great way to simplify the process.
6. Use streaming video resources to enable further investigation in areas your children have interests!
