Get Tech Ready for Back to School: Practical Tips for Teachers
As classrooms across the country prepare for the new school year, integrating technology has become a key component of educational strategies. The global value of the EdTech sector is expected to reach $132.4 billion by the year 2032. Amid this increasing emphasis on digital tools in K-12 education, teachers must ensure their tech tools are ready for use and seamlessly integrated into their teaching methods. Are there any practical tips for teachers wanting to navigate the new tech landscape? How can teachers ensure technology enhances learning without causing unnecessary stress?
In this episode of Unbox Innovation by Boxlight, host Michelle Dawn Mooney sits down with Evan Brus, a Training & Development Specialist at Boxlight, to explore practical tips for teachers who want to get tech-ready ahead of the new school year. Brus shares strategies for managing classroom technology, troubleshooting common issues, and gradually introducing new tools without overwhelming students—or themselves.
The main points of conversation are…
– Start with the basics: Ensure all tech devices are physically working and updated before the school year begins.
– Adopt new tools gradually: Don’t feel pressured to use every new platform or app immediately—test tools in your classroom at your own pace.
– Balance technology with teaching: Technology should support your teaching goals, not replace them.
