Resources

Reading journals and articles about technology and its uses in the classroom can sometimes be the best way to stimulate and inspire you to use it yourself. Keeping up with current research and best practices also keeps your teaching at the forefront.

Some suggestions:

  • Keep a technology journal in which you record reflections on the articles you read throughout the year.
  • Subscribe to one of the journals in the resources and read the articles.
  • Read Educational Technology articles in the CTA membership publication.
  • Plan to find one good article a month to read and reflect on how it applies to your technology development.
  • Search for articles that describe uses of technology that you are interested in for your classroom and try them out with your students.
