Keep your mobile devices close by and consider what you use it for, where you use it, and how you could use it in your classroom. Explore, discuss, and plan for the future!

The Future

Imagine a classroom where every student has access to their own iPad.  The possible would be endless.  The 21st century skills that would be developed would prepare students for a successful future.  Watch this video about a project based completely around technology.  Listen to the students reactions, and consider how your students would react.  If you had access to this type of technology, how do you think your students work ethic would change, or would it?

  1. I love the idea of using Ipads in the classroom. The above video used a lot of 21st Century skills that should be introduced to our students today. I definitely realize that we as educators need to increase the motivation of our students and this would surely motivate ALL students.

    1. Absolutely, I think I would be as excited to teach as my students would be to learn. This type of classroom is ideal, but rare. Nonetheless, it truly shows the impact of technology on student engagement and scores.
