Spanish teacher embraces technology By Forrest Sellers
fsellers@communitypress.com
Don’t be surprised to see a lot of computers in Spanish teacher Kimberly Engel’s class. Indian Hill High School implemented the “Bring Your Own” technology initiative last school year. As part of this, the students were encouraged to bring their own laptops or other electronic devices to school. This summer Engel took several technology-related workshops. “I’ve never been to a workshop where I haven’t come away with a head full of ideas to implement in class,” she said. Engel recently attended a
workshop on DyKnow, an interactive learning software for teachers. She said this software provides her with quick and easy access to a student’s computer screen. “If I see errors (on an assignment) I can correct them right away,” she said. “I can also do a screen grab to show an example of a great piece of work.” Engel said she would begin using DyKnow is the classroom this school year. Engel said one of the most important aspects of using technology in the classroom is preparing the students for their college and university experience.
Indian Hill High School Spanish teacher Kimberly Engel is taking several technology-related workshops this summer. Engel plans to integrate what she learns at the workshops into her own classroom. FORREST SELLERS/THE COMMUNITY PRESS
