Think of these tools as substitutes for traditional activities.
By implementing online tools and apps into activities otherwise done with ye ol' pen and paper, you are introducing students to the positive aspect of technology. Students will begin to understand the ways tech can assist us in everyday life.
Some of my ideas for integrating technology into student's work
MindMup Lesson Plan
Digitize a Spider Map
Using the app MindMup, students can create a digital spider or brainstorming map. They'll practice their fine motor and typing skills.
Canva Lesson Plan
Virtual Poster Presentations
Many teachers already love Canva, so why not have your students begin creating a digital artifact for a formative assessment.Â
Padlet Lesson Example
Bring Group Work Online
Padlet is a virtual white board for students to share, brainstorm, and collaborate. Great for introducing students to the ways in which they will likely communicate virtually in professional settings.
