As teachers, we are constantly looking for ways to reach all types of learners. Technology, as I have learned, is an excellent way to do this. When using technology, you are more likely to engage a broader range of learners. It is possible to read, write, listen, watch, interact, and so on, when using technology.
Most teachers know how to use PowerPoint, but what about the new and more elaborate ways of using technology? There are various other resources available to teachers, such as Prezi, SmartBoard, Blogs, WebQuests, and Digital Stories. Many of these options are free or allow for free trials. It would be difficult to learn many of these technologies on one's own, but there are plenty of websites available for guidance, as well as local college classes.
Websites and technologies which may help in using some of these resources:
Prezis: http://www.prezi.com/
WebQuests: http://www.zunal.com/

Blogs: http://www.blogger.com/
