这篇文章是一个为期一个月的系列的一部分，可帮助您从右脚开始2018年。在整个1月，请访问大学教师博客，以获取有关如何重新激发您对今年冬天学习的热情的建议，技巧和技巧。
将技术纳入课堂，使教师能够增强课程。它还为学生提供独特的学习经验。Edtech的不断增长的领域正在通过各种新兴的Edtech工具（例如Newsela，Crickettogether和Flipgrid）实现这一目标。
有兴趣将Edtech带入您的教室吗？继续阅读以了解三种新兴的Edtech工具，这些工具可以引起对学习的兴趣。
Edtech工具＃1：Newsela
新闻是一个教学内容平台，可以帮助您将时事带入课堂。如果您曾经希望学生阅读新闻文章（可能是提供有关民族或全球现象的背景，或者更好地参与困难的话题），则此工具很棒，但是发现阅读水平超出了他们的能力。无论如何，您可能已经与学生分享了这篇文章，或者找到了另一种说明信息的方法。Newsela既有免费的和付费（或专业）版本，每篇文章提供五个不同的阅读水平，因此您可以精确地与学生见面。可以在多个主题中找到文章，并且来自美联社，科学美国人和华盛顿邮报等可靠来源。
Students can annotate articles, or teachers can pair articles with quizzes. This past fall, Newsela released new features, including the following:
单位
一个单元包括几篇文章，并分为指导性问题的子主题。
Power Words
此功能使学生可以在文章中访问单词的定义并提供词汇练习。
Overall, this EdTech tool will help you incorporate current events into classroom learning in a way you otherwise may not be able to. Having the ability to cater articles to each individual student’s reading and comprehension level may greatly increase your class’s level of engagement.

EdTech tool #2: CricketTogether
CricketTogether将指导，笔友和职业日结合在一起，全部为一个Edtech工具。从本质上讲，板球是一个兴趣平台。该平台允许访问榜样，他们自愿远程志愿服务，并使学生能够练习写作和批判性思维能力。
The platform pairs students one-on-one with an eMentor, who is an employee of a partner company. Both the eMentor and the student read articles provided by Cricket Media, a company with a focus on child literacy. Students then discuss the topics in class with their teacher and peers, and exchange letters with their eMentor regarding the content. Teachers are able to view letters from both parties before they are viewed by the recipient to ensure a safe and productive environment.

Edtech工具＃3：FlipGrid
flipgridis a video discussion platform that allows individuals to post short videos in response to a question or prompt. Your classroom can create a “grid,” and then use it as an interactive discussion board.
There are many ways teachers can use the class grid to spark conversations among students. Teachers can post prompts, such as having students take on the persona of a character from a book in English class. In math, students could upload videos explaining the answer to a math problem, or create tutorials for a specific math concept. Teachers can also challenge students to create discussion threads based on current topics they are learning about in class. Videos can be saved and revisited at a later date, which can promote student reflection and help students review for cumulative exams.

Many of these EdTech tools work well within a single classroom, and even better when used by the entire school. If you have success with a specific tool, check with your administration to see if they’d like to implement it across grades. You might be able to increase collaboration across a diverse group of students, which is a great way to spark learning, both inside and outside of the classroom.
