Technology can be integrated into the classroom in many ways. Two great ways to integrate technology into the classroom is by incorporating books about technology into class lessons and libraries and using toys such as coding robots and interactive games to enhance the learning of students.
Below I have provided examples of books about technology and toys that can be used in the classroom to help boost student interest and engagement.
Technology Books for the Classroom
Books about technology can interest students in technology and learning. They can also teach students how to behave when dealing with technology and how to become a good digital citizen. Many books about technology stress the importance of not being overly exposed to technology. While technology is great to help students learn, it is also important that they spend time off devices to learn from their environments and social situations.

Toys are a great way to support student engagement while learning. Toys can help teach students how to code, math skills, reading skills, music and art skills, problem-solving, and so much more. Many toys are excellent ways for students to study and practice their skills.
