Making the Right Use of Technology, Classroom Management, Curriculum

Explanation:

Making the Right Use of Technology

Digital induction in education goes far beyond merely bringing a computer into the classroom, or giving digital homework. Digitalization in classrooms extends to more intrinsic adaptations such as flipped learning, mobile learning, AI based decision making, data management, e-learning, visual learning, animations, digital assessments, record keeping etc. Teachers may also get overwhelmed, trying to curate content from varied sources of information, and keeping a track of students’ learning who may depend on carious digital sources.

Tip to deal with the challenge: Plan your strategy well in advance. Have a clear picture of your goals for the year, and decide which form of digitalization may best meet student needs. Take the help of EdTech platforms to make your job easier, and to get a precise picture of your students’ profiles and relevant approaches.

3. Classroom Management

Classroom management is often misunderstood to be as simple as keeping the class in control. In reality however, teachers are required to ensure that their teaching strategies keep students of different learning styles and behaviors, from getting distracted, and that they are organized, attentive, focused, and interested in the classroom, and are indeed learning, and not merely listening in a class. Changing learning strategies also change the dynamics of a classroom, making classroom management more challenging than before. Students aren’t just passive listeners anymore. They expect to be an active participant, and need to feel important and respected in the class.

Tip to deal with the challenge: Effective classroom management requires patience, planning, and perspective. Do not brush off your students’ views and opinions. Make them feel heard and understood. Notice and appreciate good behavior, and confront bad behavior respectfully. Create a friendly, open environment in the classroom. Students tend to learn better when the classroom culture doesn’t intimidate them.

4. Curriculum

Teaching was probably far less challenging in times when learning and curriculum were limited to text books and classrooms. Modern education demands dynamic curriculum that encompasses content, competencies and essential skills aimed at overall development of a student, than mere academic scores. Teachers are required to create student-centric curriculum, that doesn’t just peak their learning interests and abilities, but also instills critical, creative and cognitive thinking, acting as the base for lifelong skill development.
