This being said...I decided to do a bit of exploring on my own and find some fun, practical ways that other teachers have found to be useful in using technology.
...and wouldn't you know, I found this all using TECHNOLOGY!...
One teacher said that a fun way to teach students the ropes of the internet and getting linked to other sites, is to send them on some sort of scavenger hunt.
...a way to do this practically is by creating a Web Quest.
Another practical thing that can be used is email. This may seem overly simple, but especially for younger students who haven't learned how to use one, creating classroom email addresses for them is a fun innovative way to enhance communication.
Just make sure to respond and email them back!
And guess what else?! Ironically, another fabulous way to use technology can be through...BLOGS.
Yup, students writing posts in a classroom blog, parents using blogs to access information from the teacher, giving students their own free blog for creative writing...there are plenty of ways to use blogs.
In conclusion, there are many ways that we as teachers (or aspiring ones) can practically use technology, we just need to do our research and add a little creativity.
