Using Technology in
K-12 Classrooms
|
| Technology is an integral and growing part of daily living in the
twenty-first century. The challenge, then, for teachers, is to use
technology effectively in classrooms to help students take ownership
for learning and develop the practical and critical thinking skills
necessary to better understand the world around them. To meet this
challenge, teachers can use an emerging technology tool, GPS receivers,
and an emerging GPS-based activity, geocaching, to transform their
middle school classrooms from teacher-centered environments to
exciting, empowering, exploratory environments that focus on student
engagement in the learning process.
