The presence of technology in the classroom has become as important as educational furniture in Australia, due to the instant access to vital information technology offers that can assist with learning.

 

It is important to implement technology seamlessly in the classroom, this will allow teachers to further educate their students and foster their unique needs for development. At Abax Kingfisher, we are dedicated to developing classroom furniture Sydney schools know and love, that complement the needs of technology in the classroom.

 

Here are ways to best implement technology in the classroom:

 

PowerPoints and Games
Using PowerPoint presentations provide opportunity for engagement in the classroom. Use these to present information in bullet points as well as educational graphics and videos that can be embedded within the slides. There are also many educational apps you can access to add excitement into the classroom, such as Kahoot. Teachers can use Kahoot to review what students have learnt at the end of the lesson, while students can create anonymous usernames to participate. This allows for whole-class participation and fosters a fun educational approach.

 

Online Homework Assignments
To continue to integrate technology in the classroom, teachers can post homework assignments online (via the preferred school learning platform such as Blackboard, Brightspace or Moodle). This way assignments are easily accessible and will not be misplaced by students, therefore increasing student engagement, and assisting with organisational skills.

 

Use Online Grading Systems
Communication is a vital element in education that assists teachers, parents, and students to understand the students strengths, and areas for improvement. Using online grading systems allows open communication where teachers can post grades and offer feedback to students.

 

Use Classroom Tablets
For schools that are fortunate enough to supply tablets for students, technology can allow teachers to implement different tasks that suit unique students needs for learning and development. Students can work at their own pace, and teachers can work one-on-one with students who need help.

 

Developing technological skills has become a vital part in education, due to how often technology is used in everyday life. Implementing technology in the classroom allows students to refine these skills and prepares them for life beyond the classroom.
