Technology tools in teaching.

 

      

          Online classes has risen a lot since the pandemic situation. I-pads, laptops, computers, the usage of all those gadgets have become more common on our lives. 

We are using a lot of apps for our homeworks, for our online classes, for our projects. The aim for students of project-based learning is to interact the theory into practice by gaining new skills.

The education industry also is undergoing a major shift in recent times; the transition from print to digital.

Digital tools are important and the advantages of the usage of it are:

     They make the processes more consistent , more secure, efficient and more effective.
 It provides to educators to design the courses, curriculum based on individual ability of each student. The teachers in digital format can customize the curriculum based on each individual learning speed and capability.
Thanks to the internet , students cannot give any excuses that they cannot learn anymore. They can find thousands of information online also books. It’s so much more easier to update the content online.

        By using Google Docs based learning tools working on a group project when we are not in a class, not together has become easier. This will lead to a better learning as well as collaboration skills.

Some project- based learning tools are:

    The first one is Mindmeister. This app is the best online mind mapping software. The users of Iphone and Android devices can download it for free.

Another app is Pixton. We need funny, comic apps to cheer us up. Pixton is one the most popular comic maker and storyboard creator for teachers and student. You can download it for free on your smartphones or tablets.

Animoto, is a fun tool. It can create slideshows of learning concepts. If we want to make a project by illustrating it with a video, with a photo and with a text, the Animoto is the right app.

Popplet is a tool for planning illustrated by draws, photos and videos. But the app is so expensive so if your pocket allows it and you really need this app, give it a try.

    

        To sum up, my whole idea for technology tools, is that technology is inevitable and we all need it! We do not even remember the life before the Digital Area. It helps students to have more access and to learn more easily. It also, help teachers to give a better feedback about the work of their students, also they have more time to supervise and understand the skills and shortcomings for each student.
