Gamified Learning
Learning games and apps like Quizlet can help
incentivize kids to memorize new information and
apply key takeaways from lessons. They can also be a
refreshing change of pace in a classroom, and get
students to actively participate in their education
instead of just passively listening to a lecture.
Digital Field Trips
An increasingly popular, useful, and cost-
effective tool for teachers searching for new
ways to use technology in the classroom is
taking digital field trips.
Integrate Social Media

Because students already spend so much of their time on social media,

integrating its use into your classroom is among the most innovative ways to
use technology in the classroom by connecting students to curriculum,
classroom resources, and one another.
Gather Student Feedback
The true test of any classroom structure and/or curriculum is how well
it helps students learn, and getting feedback from students is vital to
assessing this, determining what is and isn’t working, and addressing
problems and confusion as they arise.
Creating Digital Content

Creating digital content related to the things they are learning is a

great way for students to display their individual creative talents
as well as showcase learning.
Using a Classroom Calendar

Develop a shared online calendar for your

classroom through Google Calendar or a
similar program for posting important
updates.
Review and Critique Webpages

Empower your students with the digital literacy to analyze and discern
reliable web pages and sources from unreliable ones by reviewing them
together, developing and communicating standards for what makes a good
source.
Video/Multimedia Lessons and Presentations

Bring presentations to life for students by incorporating

visual effects, photos, videos, and music into them.
Developing slideshows and digital presentations,
playing music or a video for background and context
while presenting.
In educational technology, change is the only constant.
Technology provides instant accessibility to information,
which is why its presence in the classroom is so vital.
