Use Your Time Wisely With EdTech
When used correctly, set up in advance, and practiced on, edtech can save you tremendous time and energy:
Automate previously manual tasks
Support the development of lesson plans
Distribute educational support resources
Create, amend, and distribute class learning materials
Assess learning and gather student feedback
Provide assignment responses and grades
However, integrating edtech into the classroom takes some work up front. Depending on the technology used, you may need to upload documents and lesson plans, create accounts, and revise past lessons. Plus, you should gain some familiarity with the technology ahead of time. When beginning your use of a new technology, it’s important to include additional time to overcome this learning curve. Despite the initial start-up effort, though, the potential for time and effort savings with educational technology are HUGE!!! If you expect to be teaching for the next 3 years, 5 years or 10+ years, investing your time in edtech today will greatly save your time in the future.
