Why should we incorporate technology then?

To get students engaged of course!

Traditional materials that we teach in school are taking over the internet!

Your students learn best through the tools of their time! You can find Shakespeare on.....

WE NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF STUDENTS' INTERESTS AND THE NEW AGE RESOURCES!

How do we do it?

It is a hard thing to pin point, but how about we look at positive experiences from students reaching past the classroom...

Let's meet the students...

Take a look!

So what does this mean for you?

We're not suggesting a total redefinition of education, we're suggesting small adjustments be made so your students can learn the way they learn best. We're not changing the literary canon, we're not doing away with important literature. We're trying to help your classroom, we're trying to get your students engaged and invested in their own learning. Try it out. You won't be disappointed.

Meet Ellie

The"Tweethis Statement" is

the use of social media

websites to validate and

explore potential thesis

topics. The "tweethis

statement" encourages students

to branch out to their

social networks for educational

validation and feedback. Check out

the great responses Ellie got.

Meet Taylor!

"Social Proof"

Meet Mikhaela

Taylor wrote a fanfiction piece based on her character analysis of Hamlet as a villain. It helped her explore new aspects of Hamlet's character that she never would have realized on the first reading. With secondary text, deeper analyses of Shakespeare's characters are more easily available to kids through fiction.

Out, Out, Boring Methods.

Teaching’s but an Evolving Practice:

Teaching Traditional Materials with Technology

FanFiction!

Meet Kaleigh... her professor encouraged

her to go straight to the author of the article

if she had a question, so she did, and guess who

emailed her back?

Meet Dr. Burton

As a technology enthusiast, he structures his classes to encourage students' research to reach beyond tradition means.

Stanley Fish

(he' a BIG deal!)

Meet Mr. Ellingford

English teacher at Orem High School, UT

Mr. Ellingford uses blogging to teach persuasive writing to his teenagers! It gets more student participation while providing an authentic audience!

Because if you are boring or don't incorporate technology yourself, students will tone you out with their digital media anyways.

Your students can do more than you think...

If 8 year olds can learn French, 12 year olds can perform in Shakespeare plays, and 14 year olds can understand Shakespearean text, your 16, 18 and 20 year old students can get it too. Especially with the added help of in-class technology.
