The introduction of digital technology into education has been one of the most fundamental changes the system has had. Its title wave effects have changed the way teacher’s teach, the ways students learn, and is currently shifting the patterns of how effective teachers can be with the available technology.
Since I have been quite keen about the subject, and I have taken the time to read many scholarly articles about this current trend in education, its challenges, issues of implementation, and of course, its potential benefits, the articles that I read for this week were all excellent and definitely display the potential benefits and fantastic tools available to have students engage in deep way with digital tools, as well as fantastic strategies to teach students to master skills that will become fundamental for their lives. Being member of the technology committee for my district, and being the CLT (Technology lead for my school) and the website director, I understand the importance of assuring that technology becomes an integral part of how we teach. I am one of the biggest advocates in my district for the implementation of technology, and currently I find myself in the midst of working to shift teachers in my district to implement strategies for flipping components of their teaching. Therefore, the lesson for this week was important in that it is the area of teaching which I feel very familiar with, and which log to become more knowledgeable about as time goes by.
As stated in the articles, electronic publishing
can be used to differentiate by allowing students to work with the various
elements available. Teacher can use graphic organizer (there are plenty
of online ones now!). Teachers can have students peer edit other students work,
and now there are also great tools available online!). This can be done for any
subject that you may teach or any topic you may be covering with your students.

What a great lesson. I love the one-pager idea! Its a very doable project for students. Do you already use that in your classroom? I have to remember that!!
