Integrating Technology Meaningfully With Mission Minded Learning

Mission minded teachers have defined goals and aspirations that they wish to accomplish in the classroom. This style of learning can lead to very high success rates amongst students if handled and implemented correctly. 

In this article, we will be discussing how teachers can meaningfully integrate technology into their mission-minded classrooms. 

Choose Appropriate And Informative Teaching Materials

There are plenty of teaching materials and resources out there. With that being said, not all of them are appropriate and informative. 

If you base your lessons on mission-minded learning, you will need to ensure that you use technology to show your class the right materials. For example, if you teach calculus, there is no point in showing your students a video on organic chemistry. You will need to stay on track with your syllabus to achieve the goals you have set for yourself and your class. 

If used correctly, technology can significantly improve the understanding that your students have for their school work. You can make use of YouTube videos, online quizzes, websites, images, and even games to successfully incorporate technology into your teaching. 

Find A Balance In The Classroom

Many teachers fall into the trap of only using technology in the classroom. However, there are many disadvantages to this. For this reason, educators must find a balance between technology and face-to-face teaching. 

Some students prefer face-to-face teaching as it is a much more engaging and personalized form of education. Teachers need to spend a portion of their lessons, communicating and working alongside their students to meet these needs and wants. They should also take the time to teach their students essential sections of work that they feel are imperative. 

Encourage Students To Use Technology At Home

Many resources provide students with the opportunity to take their schoolwork home with them. For example, Pedagogue’s new app enables students to communicate and collaborate with classmates via video conferencing calls and audio chats. This means that they will be able to work on group projects and assignments outside of school. 

Technology can be used by students to achieve goals set by teachers in mission-minded classrooms. Cloud-based applications enable students to complete their schoolwork from any computer, meaning that they will have much more time to deliver quality material that will earn them high results. 

Concluding Thoughts

Technology is becoming a more and more critical factor in the world of education. It can even be used in mission-minded classrooms to improve the results of students. 

To integrate technology meaningfully with mission-minded learning, educators need to select appropriate and informative teaching materials. They should also find a balance between technology and face-to-face teaching in the classroom. 

Lastly, teachers need to encourage students to use technology at home – this way, they will be able to complete projects and assignments in their own time.
