subject: Conjure Up A Mixture Of Old And New Teaching Techniques To Be Effective In Your Lessons [print this page] In the modern classroom, we find that teachers have the technology at their disposal which would have been only a dream for a teacher only twenty years ago.
We have found that in the last ten to fifteen years, technology in the classroom has come on leaps and bounds to provide a number of different solutions to a wide number of different problems in the classroom. We have also seen technology to not only solve problems but also to speed up the daily routine of school procedures to enable more time to be dedicated by the teachers on the pupils education.
It is important when using technology in the classroom to ensure that you strike the right combination between old teaching methods and also new and innovative ways to communicate with people in the classroom effectively to get the right point across in exactly the right way. You can often find that in the classroom traditional communication styles are just as important as modern methods.
So you should try to combine the two efficiently to make sure that your lessons maintain a solid informative flow without seeming overpowering to young pupils in the lesson. You can often find that a piece of technology such as the interactive whiteboard can be invaluable in the classroom and is extremely important to help a teacher to be as efficient and communicative as possible within their job role.
An interactive whiteboard within a classroom is a brilliant piece of equipment that allows a number of different tasks to be fulfilled using only the one piece of equipment. If you find you are dictating to a class, you can help students keep up and track back by using word processing software to help you envision the dictation to be copied down by the pupil. This is a simple way to keep on top of notes for example. You can also find that the interactive whiteboard comes into its own when you are looking to portray different forms of media.
For example you may be explaining a piece of information which you would like to back up with a visual aid, this visual aid could be a video you have found on a video hosting website. You will find you can easily project this onto your big screen by using simple software which enables you to show the whole class and get your point across. Integrating this kind of technology in your classroom will help you be more successful in your job role as a teacher of young people.
