Welcome to Marshall Middle School Tech Tips! This page is designed to offer tips, tricks and "how to's" for integrating technology into your class curriculum. It's ever evolving and videos and resources will be added throughout the school year.

Keep in mind that the technology you use in your class is never the driving force of a lesson plan. Think about the following questions as you begin to integrate technology into your curriculum. Remember, the curriculum comes first.

• What is the goal of the lesson?

• Why do you want to use this technology here?

• Will this enhance the current approach?

• How do you hope the technology will enhance learning?

• Can the technology make this idea more relevant to students?

• Will adding technology allow students to do something that they couldn’t do without it? For example, does the technology allow students to collaborate beyond the classroom walls? Does the technology remove a barrier for students?
