3 Types of Technology Professors Should Use in the Classroom
Some professors are tech gurus; others only allow pen and paper into their classroom. Wherever you fall on the technology spectrum, you should consider implementing effective technologies in the classroom for 2019.
The key is using technology in the classroom that’s affordable, easy to use, and actually improves student outcomes. Here are the three categories the absolute best tech options fall into:
1. Student Response Systems (a.k.a. “clickers”)
Student outcomes improve when instructors can learn and evaluate in real-time how well the room grasps a new concept. This is how student response systems shine — especially when you’re dealing with a large audience.
2. Collaborative Technology
Student outcomes improve when information and concepts are engaging, collaborative, and interactive. For example, professors can explore available presentation tools to give more engaging and collaborative lectures.
3. Video Technology
We’re not talking about just YouTube videos. Video technology is advancing in exciting ways, leading to innovation like flipped classrooms, enhanced features for online courses, and video software for skills development.
