This month's blog is
Utilize These 5 Different Styles of Learning to Make Lessons Fun
.
Imagine a classroom and the teacher teaching lessons. It's a
situation you've been in before, so it's easy to envision it.
Are all students equally interested in the lesson being taught?
Are they all equally engaged? Do they all find the concepts and
teaching method fun? Of course not.
From the aspect of a teacher, how can you deal with this? There's
no time to cover various teaching methods to meet the preferences
of each student. But you can't just show up and go through the
lectures without taking the psychology of learning into consideration.
What you can do is an experiment with different teaching styles, so
all students in the classroom will get be engaged at one point or
another.
Guest blogger Warren Fowler is an acoustic music lover who's
passionate about teaching English and blogging.

Tech Tip #1: Getting Started with Raspberry Pi and Arduino
for Technology Teachers
This article provides a brief introduction to two of the key
components of many maker spaces: the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino.
Both of these devices have gained a lot of popularity amongst STEM
enthusiasts in recent years, mainly because of their adaptability and
affordability, but for teachers who've never engaged with them before,
it can be confusing to know what they are, how they are different and
how they can be used. Keith Heggart's post explains the differences
between the two, gives you some resources to get started, and also
provides some guidance if you are looking to go further.

Tech Tip #2: Ed Tech Lingo
Trying to keep up with all the buzzwords in the educational technology
sector can leave you feeling like a kindergartener in a calculus class.
Nadine Gilkison of Franklin Township Tech Tips has put together a
helpful page with some definitions, a detailed infographic and a linked
image to a detailed educational technology dictionary page.

Google searches to changing the ways we interact with our smartphones,
there are countless ways to speed things up using tech. Use these
shortcuts on your PC, Mac, iPhone or Android device to put more time
back into your day.
