Teaching Tip #15

Incorporate Technology

This is the world we live in, and you have to keep up with the times.
Am I saying use a SMARTboard all day every day?  No - you may not have the resources and the chalk/white board is good enough for most notes.

But you need to change things up.  I use my projector constantly, which allows me to use the boards as an additional resource.  I can display the calculator display, print the notes out on transparencies, etc. 

Have your students do research papers and projects using correct internet resources.

Bring in some music and write your own lyrics based on material you're doing.

Do a PowerPoint Jeopardy or an Excel spreadsheet for scatterplots.

Really, the possibilities are endless. And there are plenty of professional development "courses" that can help you with it.
