Teaching Tech
People think internet is internet but there’s a huge difference in, say, smallbusiness.xo internet and traditional dial up. If you’re a teacher you’ve got to impart this tech knowledge on your kids – here are a few places to start.
Explain the concept of wireless: It’s a tough one best suited for kids over 10 years old but wireless is the first step to understanding all types of technology like internet and cell phones. Do a project where you utilize tin cans as phones then have your kids work with echoes to get the concept down.
Use the web: the more time your class can get in a computer lab, the better. Help them understand the basic components of the web like browsers and websites and security. Once they know the lingo they’ll be more adept at picking up additional news.
Get interactive: If you’re lucky enough to have a classroom Smartboard, get your kids involved. Allow one to help you run the program each day and find something fun and technical online each day to work into your lesson.
