Tuesday, June 7, 2016 at 05:28AM Heather Johnson, who teaches sixth grade in Mashpee, said today’s teachers need to be digitally literate to boost academic achievement. She also stopped handing out textbooks, has created her own online curriculum by pulling together open-source learning applications, and watched as students have become more excited about learning.
“This is their language,” Johnson said. “Most of the time it’s 100 percent student engagement.” In more classrooms, books and lectures are being ditched, Steven A Rosebberg, Boston GLobe June 4, 2016
If you could have access to only one peripheral in your school workspace, which would it be: a printer/copier or a scanner?
Both at home and at work, the scanner is my most used tool. It should be yours as well. (But I don't use them for scanning cats.)

Most valued tech is a web-connected device with a scanning app. If it's just about creating PDFs as worksheets, then in most cases I would consider this compliance instead of engagement. Technology's ability to empower learning is a better indication of transformation. I need to learn more about OERs and how to help learners curate the most relevant material.
Scanner - and then a PDF app that allows students to annotate those PDF. I believe once students understand they can mark up a PDF file they usually are more comfortable using them.
Technology has surely changed the way of teaching and learning. It's quite common to see more teachers and students using technology as a teaching and learning platform in this digital age. And without any doubt, I will choose Scanner plus scanning app.
