Simple tools for digital classroom — from November Learning by guest blogger Geoff Gevalt
The hardest thing for teachers to do is make the transition from paper and pencils to online media: Not enough computers, not enough knowledge, not enough time and a whole new way of doing things. We work with hundreds of teachers in the same situation and we offer this advice:
- Take small steps.
- Find a couple of tech-savvy kids in each of your classes to help.
- Explore the digital world on your own.
- Seek out people in the school or in professional development spheres to mentor you.
- Don’t be afraid to fail.
- Don’t be afraid if you don’t have all the answers – your kids will help.
