13. Interactive classrooms and EdTech

Educational technology has been highly beneficial to implementing interactive teaching methods in the classroom. EdTech refers to the practice of implementing IT tools in the classroom environment. These tools include smart boards and tablets, online lesson plans, and multimedia, to name a few. EdTech can allow students to engage with their lessons in ways that are fun, creative, and effective. Teachers can also present information in various formats, including video, audio, and visual lessons. In the age of Covid, EdTech has allowed students and teachers to continue to conduct class from a safe distance. In addition, online conferencing platforms enable teachers and students to continue interacting with one another.
The role of any instructor is to inspire curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking within their students. Interactive teaching methods can help transform the classroom into an environment where students enjoy the learning process, and teachers can effectively nurture their talents.
