Technology helps Teachers…

Technology will not replace great teachers but technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformational.

-George Couros

Teachers devote a lot of time and energy to their students’ wellbeing and learning. Even outside of the classroom, teachers need to lesson plan, grade tests, run clubs or extracurriculars, and provide extra support to their students and schools. Education technology (Edtech) has the potential to enhance what a teacher can accomplish over a day’s work.

Technology can help teachers facilitate an easier, more productive learning experience. Technology isn’t just a medium to better students’ learning; it is the material that they should be learning as well. With modern technology, teachers can easily accommodate all their students and their different needs by incorporating tools for everyone through simple technological resources.

Technology is also a very useful tool for teacher collaboration and learning.

This issue of ScooNews is filled with edtech resources and information for teachers. I hope you find it useful and look forward to hearing from you (as usual).

Cheers,
