Methods for integrating technology in your classroom:

• Blended learning: This approach combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning. It allows students to access course materials and complete assignments at their own pace, while still providing opportunities for interaction and support from the teacher. This approach can be particularly effective for providing personalized and differentiated instruction.

• Project-based learning: This approach involves students working on real-world projects that require them to apply their knowledge and skills to solve authentic problems. Technology can be a powerful tool for facilitating project-based learning, as it provides students with access to a wide range of resources and enables them to collaborate with others and share their work with a wider audience.
