Preparation for Integrating Technology in the Classroom

Want to avoid those embarrasing moments in the classroom when technology has you feeling helpless?

Plan on Extra Prep Time

Eventually, you'll be on the other side of the learning curve with the latest technology you're trying out.
But that will only happen if you take the time to get there.

Check out Annesa's Preparation Worksheet [word] to check out Best Practices for successful technology use in class.

The worksheet has checklists for:

  • goals
  • content prep
  • hardware/software prep
  • classroom setup
  • rehearsal
  • back-up plan
  • day of activity
  • lesson evaluation/assessment

If you would like support as you plan for a class where you'll be using technology, contact Annesa: ahartman@landmark.edu, x1661
