Reach out and connect with current and future students.
Social networking sites are now mainstream for students and many educators are not willing to make the adjustments to connect with students at the digital level. Do not fight the new world of social networking, but use it as an opportunity to reach out and connect with current and future students. Inside the School’s seminar will show you ways to use the many new and exciting educational technologies.
Our students are living in a digital world and it’s our responsibility as educators to prepare them to be successful in that world. That means that we must incorporate digital portfolios, games and simulations, and peer-to-peer technologies to enhance the curriculum and engage our students. But budgets are tight and getting tighter. How do we meet the needs of our 21st century learners on a 20th century budget?
As an educator, you may be already implementing or considering new and innovative ways to include technological opportunities but unfortunately, at a time when funding resources are being depleted. As this perfect E-storm surrounds us, we must think carefully about how we’ll navigate our technology plans to meet the students’ 21st century needs.
