Technology that Tutors
Technology offers such a solution with the creation of the blog. Think of the blog as technology
that tutors 24/7. Welcome to the world of the blog where some of my efforts as a professor are
now scalable. I can create a video (with transcript), embed on my blog, and simply provide the
link to my students as the need or topic may arise in my class discussions. With a quick click of
a mouse, I simply copy and paste the link and . . . Voila! I have now created a permanent
supplemental teaching tool, i.e. with me as the teacher in the video using technology that tutors.
Please join me on this journey as I offer a path to shorten your learning curve with increased
efficiency in teaching methods as we look to the blog with 7 ways to save time by using the blog
as a teaching tool.

Professional Development Course: Gamifying Your
Classroom
Play is nature’s way of getting us to learn. This is why it’s perfect for education. This is what
kids are hardwired to want to do. The instinct to play
is the most basic and natural way for us to learn.
Because it is something that we think we choose to do
so we in turn pour more effort into it. Unfortunately
this isn’t the overall thinking of games in education. In
the US, the approach and thinking is very top-down.
We build games, put them into a classroom, force kids
to play, and poof; kids learn it. In some cases this
works and is very effective.
So why take this course?
This course will give you an overview of the concepts
of gamification and how it integrates into the
classroom. The focus of this course will equip you with
how to integrate the use of game concepts such as
achievements, badges, and much more in your
classroom. You will leave with fresh and new ideas that you can put into action with your classroom the next day.
So who is teaching this course?
This course is taught by veteran elementary teacher Joshua Ducharme who has worked in the field of education for
10 years. He holds a Master’s degree in education and serves as the lead technology mentor for his staff. These
concepts used in his classroom on a daily basis and yield positive results to higher engagement with learning,
active participation, and behavior management.
