Who is John Krupp and why tech? Hello! Welcome to my site to help teacher integrate technology in the classroom.
As both a Microsoft Innovative Educator and a Certified Canvas Educator, I have a lot of small tips and tricks on how to work technology into your classroom at your own pace. I have been an educator for 15 years and have spent the last three years as a Building Technology Coordinator and school based Canvas Point of Contact, specializing in helping teachers integrate technology on their terms. Since the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, it is evident that even the most tech savvy teachers had a lot to learn concerning delivering education in a virtual format. As we are getting back into the classrooms, we are learning technology is here to stay and as teachers, we must adapt to the changing educational needs of students. Technology is scary for some and scarier for others; however, if we take a differentiated approach and work at our own pace based on our comfort... technology can enhance every classroom. The differentiated approach I have come to support is the SAMR model. In the SAMR model, teachers work with technology in a means they are comfortable with and strive to move to higher complexities within the model. Teachers have different levels of comfort and any level can help enhance the classroom experience for students. As teachers become more comfortable, the possibilities of instruction become endless. Please scroll below for an original work concerning the benefits of SAMR. My passion is education and that does not stop with students. I want to help you the best way possible and if I can, I will do whatever it takes to help you enhance your classroom. I look forward to helping you and if you have any questions or want another video to help you in your needs...feel free to hit that contact button and reach out to me! |
