Here are three latest and trending U.S. education and edtech news subjects from June 2022.
1. How teachers can stay on top of education trends
Summer break has started, and teachers are already reevaluating their goals for the upcoming school year. To find the latest edtech devices and strategies for creating engaging lesson plans, teachers are turning to education-focused events that take center stage after the school year.
At these events, educators and education leaders gather to discuss the latest trending topics, including new technology and best practices for teaching. These events also present the opportunity to listen to the leading voices in education in keynote presentations.
2. Increasing student collaboration and engagement in the classroom
Schools are in a new era of education focused on utilizing edtech in the classroom. This evolution has shifted the traditional teaching pedagogy of information from only one source to an open experience where students and teachers collaborate on ideas and topics together.
Through interactive panels, students and teachers can work together with tools like screen sharing and use apps, media, and online resources to engage in activities that fit personal learning styles. Edtech ultimately creates a more engaging and fun learning experience where students can work through lessons and assignments with one another.
3. Utilizing ESSER federal funding for classroom updates
The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief fund, or ESSER, is funding provided by the government to help address the impact of COVID-19 on elementary and secondary schools. This funding helps teachers reimagine their classrooms with new technology and safety equipment, and finances classroom projects as students continue their education through the pandemic.
A main priority with ESSER includes purchasing new technology that can benefit students whether they are learning in person or remotely. These purchases include the latest edtech devices like interactive displays, which allow students and teachers to connect and collaborate from anywhere. Emergency relief funds have provided an opportunity for educators to expand the curriculum and bridge the learning gap for all students.
