\u201cTech\u201d in the classroom<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re reading this, chances are you\u2019re a teacher. But, before you were a teacher, in times of yore, you were also probably a student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s plain to see that classrooms have changed quite a bit since \u201cthe old days\u201d. Blackboards and chalk are gone, overhead projectors sit in storage, and floppy disks gather dust in the back of forgotten drawers. All of these have since been replaced with something better. That\u2019s the essence of technology. It\u2019s an improvement on what came before. Once upon a time, floppy disks were the shiny new gadget making magnetic cartridges redundant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of technology in educational settings is a topic that is at the peak of research. Technology has become a major component in the development and delivery of curricula in all educational settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may not think of whiteboard markers as \u201ctech\u201d, but that\u2019s exactly what they are. In the same sense tablets and smartboards are becoming a more common sight in learning environments. These assistive technologies, and many more just like them, are here to make your job easier, and your students\u2019 learning experiences more engaging.

Originally, assistive technologies were implemented in classrooms specifically for students with learning difficulties. But as we\u2019ve seen through the introduction of UDL principles, assistive technologies can benefit all learners. Kami is an example of this! Edtech has changed how we teach and how we learn to make education a more universal package that is more inclusive than ever before. More on that in our UDL blog here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Styluses<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In all likelihood, your students are all using tablets already. But how many of them are using styluses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will be able to sketch, write, and annotate on their touchscreen devices just as they would a piece of paper, thanks to features such as palm rejection, touchscreen scrolling and precision, and a freehand highlighter. Follow the link for more information on features and pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not just use a keyboard, you may ask?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t already, check out our blog on the importance of practicing handwriting<\/a> and the benefits that a stylus can provide in the classroom, specifically for elementary school students! Here are a couple of amazing styluses that will level up your learner\u2019s tablet game: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
