Integrating Technology Into Teaching

    

    Nowadays, the traditional teaching model is simply less effective than before. teachers are developing lesson plans that may or may not be delivering to the students, so technology come to fix this problem by integrating it to classroom.

    Integrating technology into lesson plans can ensure a more interactive class. technology can form new bonds between students and the teacher. Technology helps to change the role of the teacher and the student, so the students take the responsibility for their learning out comes while the teacher become a guides and facilitator for the students.

    Gaming is a part of technology, at the same time it takes a huge part of the students lives. so it is a great idea to integrate gaming in the classroom. In one hand it makes a challenge between students and in the other hand the idea or the lesson will be delivered.

    Social media, also takes a lot time from students time, so integrating social media in their learning domain could help the teacher a lot since they are spend their time on social media and learning at the same time.
