Integrating technology in the classrom

  The implementation of technologies in the classroom should be as much productive as the technological device possibilities offer you. For instance, if you're working with a Prezi presentation, you can  benefit from the vast array of options at the time of designing your general view and the following transitions, and you can propose activities to your students to be done in the presentation itself.

  As you can imagine, there are various ways in which technology can be integrated, and depending on the possibilities that your implementation provides, it can be categorised under 4 levels according to the SAMR model: Within ENHANCEMENT, first Substitution and then Augmentation; within TRANSFORMATION, from Modification to Redefinition. BTW, below there's a brief video explaining more about that.



  Here I share a presentation I've made with my partners, introducing the family and the comparatatives to 1° year students. It would be categorised as Augmentation, since there's a video included. What we could do to go up in the ladder and reach Modification, is sharing the presentation on a platform and allowing students to add slides to the original one to complete the task.
