Incorporating Digital Technologies in the Classroom

Technology has changed significantly and due to the advances in technology, it is necessary for educators to learn along with the students they are serving (Hawthorn, 2017). In order to deliver technology assisted educational practices (Donlan and Alpert, 2017), educators must first develop and enhance their own competencies in digital learning (Stewart, 2017). As educators add assignments incorporating more digital technology they begin to see that student’s participation and communication increases as well as new opportunities and innovation in teaching (Barnard et al., 2018).
