Technology Timesavers for Teachers - myTeachersLounge Teachers today are fortunate to have access to technological tools that make our jobs easier and minimize the paperwork involved in educating our students. I didn’t grow up with computers like today’s students did, but I’m very much on board with becoming more tech savvy and, yes, even accepting help from my students when I have technical difficulties. About a year ago I bought myself an iPad after saving for it for months. It was going to help me organize my life, both at home and at school, and guess what? It did. The first tool I use is DropBox and you don’t have to have an iPad to use it. DropBox is a way to store your documents “in the cloud” so that you have access to them wherever you are.

F - Flexibel inläningsmiljöL - Lärandekultur i förändringI - Innehåll med meningP - Professionella lärare Flexibel inlärningsmiljö innebär att det i klassrummet finns gott om utrymme och tid för kollaborativt lärande. Lärandekultur i förändring är kanske det svåraste att åstadkomma. Innehåll med mening innebär att du bland annat ger eleverna de resurserna de behöver för att lyckas.
