5 suggestions for change in the classroom.

1. Many teachers need to change the focus. Instead of having teacher centered discussions and lessons they need to move toward being more student centered. Let the student develop their own understanding of a topic. 

2. Students understand learning through technology so it would be helpful to tie in a variety of multi-media tools. 

3. Allowing students to use technology is where the classroom needs to move. Many teachers have the technology but are worried to let the kids use it. This is still having a teacher centered classroom. The technology needs to be in the hands of the kids! ( I do understand there need to be guidelines for this and I am in full support of teacher guided student centered lessons incorporating technology.)

4. Kids have shorter attention spans so teachers need to restyle lessons that grab and retain students attention. 

5. Don't be boring!
