 What is TBL?
Technology-Based Learning-
define as the learning of content via all electronic
technology, including the Internet, intranets, satellite
broadcasts, audio and video tape, video and audio
conferencing, Internet conferencing, chat rooms, e-bulletin
boards, webcasts, computer-based instruction, and CD-
ROM.3 TBL also encompasses related terms, such as online
learning and web-based learning that only include learning
that occurs via the Internet, and computer-based learning
that is restricted to learning using computers. E-learning is
synonymous with TBL and has largely replaced it in
scholarship and industry as the term of choice. Therefore,
the report uses these terms interchangeably.
5 Teaching Strategies to Engage
Students Using Technology
Technology is aid to teaching in a great manner; and the same is
quite visible from the way we see children’s love for technolgy
integration.

1. Use of Multimedia
Vivid images, videos, instantaneous information, all of this capture
attention from students easily. Use of various multimedia resources adds
zing to your classroom sessions. Students enjoy distinctive resources and
variety of these resources keeps students engaged and interested in the
classrooms throughout. Multimedia can stimulate more than one sense at a
time, and in doing so, educators reach all different types of learners and
hold student’s attention longer. Giving students the ability to create and
utilize different types of multimedia creates a more collaborative classroom
and allows students communicate and actually apply what they are
learning, enhancing the overall educational experience.
2. Utilization of Social Media
Every learner, every teacher in fact everybody uses and enjoys
social media. So when this social media is used for teaching
purposes, it turns out to be of great use. Students love being
social, collaborating, sharing and exchanging ideas. Various
important aspects that are integral part of teaching like
collaboration and interaction can happen seamlessly via social
media. Not just that it is being used by all but it also enables
you to keep things all checked up and helps you in assigning
tasks, assignment and other class related activities effortlessly.
Social media also plays an important role when you talk about
keeping guardians updated about the students’ performance
and other school activities. Various platforms like Facebook and
Twitter are being used by educators worldwide and are enjoyed
by the masses.
3. Using Variety of Resources

Mix things up and add some engagement. The source of

the information is not just limited to books in 21st
century instead you can use podcasts, videos, OERs,
blogs and other resources to deliver knowledge.
Students enjoy exploring various resources and
widening their horizons. A mix of various resources is
enjoyed by students and is refreshing. It even caters to
the different learning needs of the students, as one
same resource may not be apt for all.
4. Making Most of Games and Perks of
Gamification
Maybe this is the best part about tech integration. The thing
that students get to learn while gaming is the best thing. No
doubts about the thing that how much love students have
for the games and here educational games are there to help
learners learn their important lessons while playing amazing
games. Students can get motivated by challenging each
other and if done on a mobile device, students are more
likely to continue learning outside of the classroom. Using
educational games is one of the best ways to use technology
in the classroom to make students eager for learning. And
gamification can be used as a framework for education that
can be used anywhere and in any level of complexity. It can
be directly applied to contents, to the pedagogical
framework (usually constructivism), or even to other
complementary frameworks.
5. Use Technology to Empower Students and Reach Out
Technology nurtures artistic expression. Engaged students are those who
actively express opinions, and don’t just passively ‘receive wisdom’.
Technology can give them a platform to explain their ideas, not just
regurgitate facts. Apart from this you can help students reach out and learn
more. Social media helps you connect to people around the world and you
can get in touch with experts.

Modern technology-based art forms have encourage artistic expression

among our diverse student population. These tools provide forms of artistic
communication for those students who have been constrained by the
traditional options of verbal and written communication. You should also
help students to have a ‘voice’. One way to do this, for example, is to get
them to each set up a blog or participate in other ways to demonstrate their
learning. But remember that not everyone’s the same: introvert students
might find Twitter intimidating, for instance. Instead, offer multiple choices:
podcasting, YouTube etc. To make this work, students need to be aware of
ethics of online world and the principles of digital citizenship. You should
help with this on priority before starting up!
8
 SO HOW DO WE MANAGE THE ADVANCING 21ST-CENTURY CLASSROOM
ENVIRONMENT? HERE ARE EIGHT REAL-WORLD STRATEGIES TO SLAY THE
DAUNTING, TECHNOLOGY CLASSROOM DRAGON.

1. Start with your classroom set up

Just as any well-managed classroom, set up is essential. First, configure the desks in such a
way that you can see all or most screens. For example, student desks can face the outer walls
of the classroom in a circular fashion. Or, if rows or pairs work best for your class, consider
setting up your desk at the back of the classroom. You’ll be able to view all screens and
students without being front and center.

Establish, display, teach and repeat your classroom rules and procedures when using
devices. Students should be clear on their expected behavior and how to handle
arising technology use issues. To help create this structure, number each device.
Students will have a sense of ownership, and the numbering assists with technology
support communications.
2. Make digital citizenship a priority

Now that you have the devices in the hands of each of your students, they’re ready to
engage in this type of learning. This is your chance to teach one of the most essential
skills needed in a 21st-century classroom: responsible use of technology, also known
as digital citizenship. Students can’t automatically navigate the internet safely,
communicate effectively and respectfully, and handle other digital dilemmas. These
are all skills that have to be taught.

No matter what grade you are teaching, take the opportunity to guide students so
they become responsible digital citizens. While this can be a daunting task, there’s a
vast depository of lessons, materials, and entire free curriculums online. One of my
favorite resources when teaching digital citizenship is Common Sense Education,
which provides curriculum for each grade level and includes teacher tutorials,
materials, and truly engaging lessons for every classroom.
3. Teach mini-lessons before using devices

The teacher hands out the numbered devices to his students and their fingers
punch in their personal logins the moment they get their hands on them.
Relieved that all the devices are in functioning condition, the teacher begins his
directions for today’s lesson and the goal in using the devices. What is wrong
with this picture? What percentage of students do you think are actually listening
to the directions or the lesson’s concepts?

Teaching mini-lessons prior to student access is the key. Students won’t be

distracted and are likely to fully participate because they know that paying attention
and demonstrating their understanding of rules, procedures, and tasks means they
will get the privilege of using devices. Mini-lessons also give you time to make sure
students fully understand your expectations and the assignment involving
technology. Even if the lesson is inquiry-based, students should still know what is
expected of them before logging in.
 4. Use the power of choice

Traditionally, the teacher is the center of instruction. In a 21st century classroom,

instructional technology provides the opportunity for each student to make
choices over their own learning. Making a choice provides student ownership over
what is learned. In each of the three categories of instructional technology
activities (practice, creativity, and discovery), there are opportunities for students
to make choices.

A creativity assignment is full of choices for students to show their ability to apply
the concept, to evaluate their own work, and take full ownership of the finished
product. A discovery assignment allows for students to use their natural curiosity as a
navigation tool.
When designing a lesson involving instructional technology, remember to include
the chance for your students to make a choice that appeals to them.
 5. Remember that sharing is caring

Allow time for students to share something they have created or discovered.
Knowing they will have this opportunity encourages focus. In addition to
focus, other students will be inspired by their peers and find value in their
own work. Sharing doesn’t have to be done at the end of a project.

As you are circulating around the room, catch a student who’s doing something well
and point out that student to the rest of the class. Often times students who don’t
excel in traditional class settings don’t have a chance for a lot of praise. Technology
changes that environment, providing opportunities for all students to shine,
including English learners, introverts, and those who may lack proficiency in certain
subjects.
6. Conduct teacher check-ins

One of the strategies for managing a complex classroom is conducting

ongoing teacher check-ins. Instructional technologies give our students
the chance to have a more individualized learning experience: working
at their own pace, using tools that work with their learning styles, and
learning about topics that interest them.

experience: working at their own pace, using tools that work with their
learning styles, and learning about topics that interest them.
7. Build in breaks from devices

Technology can be motivating for students in and of itself. Still, like

adults, students’ focus can wander when working online. To have
students re-engage with the task at hand, give them a couple minutes
off their devices and have them turn to engage with a classmate face-
to-face. If possible, have students sit away from their devices or use
management software such as Veyon to view and lock their devices for
three to five minutes.
8. Software tools are your friend
About five years ago, when the one-to-one (one device for each student) initiative
started to take off, educational technology took a huge turn from teacher-centered
tools to student-centered tools. Many students are now in the driver’s seat learning on
their own, thanks to these educational technology tools. Different types of software
were developed to assist in managing this new landscape. Classroom management
software tools have been created to assist with behavioral management such as Class
Dojo and Class Craft. Open-source learning management systems such as Canvas,
Moodle, and Schoology have been designed to assist with course design, assignment
submissions, file organization, and digital grade books.

More recently, software tools have been developed to be the “all-seeing eye” on students’ devices in
use. Device management software such as GoGuardian allows teachers to view, take control, and
freeze student devices from one single teacher control panel.
Our classrooms are finally starting to evolve with the surrounding world and, by implementing these
eight strategies, you’ll create an innovative and successful learning environment for your technology-
hungry students.
 15 Must Follow Teaching
Strategies For The Digital
Classroom

When we think of the digital classroom, we

tend to focus on the technology. But we are not
yet at the point where technology can replace
the teacher, and we most likely will never get
there. This is because it is the teacher’s duty to
guide students to use technology responsibly.
Transitioning from a traditional classroom to a
digital classroom requires more than just
integrating technology, it requires teaching
strategies to implement technology in the
most effective ways.
Blended learning typically refers to a
training approach that combines a
mix of online and face-to-face
training delivery for improved
engagement and better retention.
Blending face-to-face with online
activities also has the potential of
bringing the best of both worlds
together in a single course. In its
most basic form, it combines a
synchronous face-to-face lecture
with some online follow-up activities,
such as discussion forums or chats.
 Mobile learning and BYOD are quickly
becoming staples of the digital
