While it is important to integrate technology in the classroom, it is also important to review and understand how to integrate in a way that is beneficial and purposeful for all. It is important for me that I take steps to ensure students and staff I support understand the value in teaching students how to survive and thrive in the digital world. Accessing technology is important, but it can only be valuable if those accessing resources understand how to use them effectively.

Resource - Multimedia for the Classroom

The resource shared below is a comprehensive overview of popular and beneficial media tools for educators to utilize as tools to integrate more technology and media in to their general practice. The table names off these resources and provides a quick overview of the program or software, highlighting some valuable use for each tool. Additionally, limitation are addressed so educators can determine if the tool is truly going to add value to learning experiences in their teaching environment.

This resource is extremely beneficial to support collaboration and learning related to the digital age. Research shows that many educators do not use digital tools out of a lack of understanding. By creating a resource like this, educators can explore tools that will be most beneficial while quickly reviewing what each tool has to offer as far as features and potential uses.

This artifact helped me explore new resources and tools to help broaden my understandings of how various digital tools can be used in the classroom. I would love to publish this to a forum or platform that will make it accessible to educators looking to dip their toes into the digital world.
