I thought this article offered useful advice on implementing personal and engaging technology in the classroom. I teach in a diverse third grade classroom, and half of my student population consists of English Language Learners. I am always looking for new ways to support and accommodate their individual needs. I especially enjoyed tip number one: Delivering instruction through multiple forms of media. I am always looking media that is interactive and fun for my students. It is amazing how much my language learners benefit from images, audio and videos. It really helps with some of those hard to grasp abstract concepts. I am also a big fan of tip number two: Gather and Use Immediate Feedback on Students' Understanding. I utilize the videos on Brainpop and then use clicker devices to take online quizzes that produce immediate and personal results. I will definitely revisit this article when I am looking for inspiration to spice up the implementation of technology in my classroom.
