What are some important best practices for technology in the classroom

After reading the article Best Practices in Education Technology best practices I have learned that more learners are readily to adapt technology into their learning.  One of the important best practices for technology in the classroom is the relationships among teachers, students and parents.  Teachers need to know that there are alternatives to teaching by expanding their resources, options, and support.  With the use of the leading-edge technology in the classroom, educators can get the most accurate picture of students’ capacities and must also carefully consider the materials and tools available to them in the classroom.  Parents can get involved by promoting the technology in the classroom by becoming advocates for their children.  Involved parents can initiate other parents and teachers into the new technology trend, creating a powerful boost for change in their children's school. 

     Some students like to explore ideas and create their own individual approaches.  Others would be paralyzed by that degree of freedom.  By offering students a selection of materials from which to choose, each with varying degrees of learning, teachers can offer all students an appropriate learning context.  As mentioned in a article, the motivation and self esteem that is used with technology in the classroom among students is really changing students.  The students are becoming more successful.  The classrooms that use technology are giving way to new visions and possibilities for flexible learning tools and methods.  

Students; affective differences demand that teachers apply this flexibility to vary challenge, media, content, rewards, and learning context as teachers individualize each students’ instruction.  Technology in the classroom also gives students responsibility and independence with their studies.  Read the following article how Apple devices changed a classroom in a private school.
