 Integrating Technology in Our Classroom

Date: 2/21/25

Author: Ms. Kaylee In today’s digital age, technology plays a vital role in enhancing learning. In our

first-grade classroom, I integrate both traditional and cutting-edge technology tools

to make learning interactive and exciting. Traditional & Cutting-Edge Tech in Our Classroom: 🖥️ Interactive Whiteboard – I use a smartboard for interactive lessons, digital

storytime, and interactive games that make learning engaging. 📱 Educational Apps – Students will use tablets with apps like ABCmouse and Starfall

to practice literacy and math skills. 🎧 Listening Stations – Students can strengthen their reading fluency and comprehension using audio books and read-along tools.

📹 Embedded Video Example: Here is a short video demonstrating how we use our interactive whiteboard for phonics

lessons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2frjzrC5Jg Technology Evaluation: To ensure technology is enhancing student learning, I will: ✅ Monitor student engagement and comprehension levels. ✅ Use formative assessments to track progress. ✅ Gather student and parent feedback on technology use. Classroom Gadgets: 1️⃣ Document Camera – Allows me to display books and worksheets on the board for the

whole class to see. 2️⃣ Digital Timer – Helps students stay on track during activities and transitions. With these tools, we create an exciting and dynamic learning environment where every

child can thrive! 🚀 Stay tuned for more updates on our classroom adventures! 😊
