European History Class

Depending on who you talk to, perhaps a handful of people might actually know that America’s religious freedom movement was based on Europe’s spiritual and religious renewal period referred to as The Reformation. Some people might be surprised how much the European cultures, beliefs, practices, traditions, etc. have influenced America. Others, who value the understanding and knowledge of history, will be surprised not at all.

Old-school teaching involved textbooks and possibly a filmstrip for overhead projector – if you were lucky. But this is the 21st-century, and teachers and school leaders have the option of bringing advanced technology into the classroom. To avoid doing so not only makes a teacher’s job harder, but it makes for a lesser quality learning environment for your students. If we don’t teach our children to the absolute best of our capabilities, we are doomed.

Integrating Technology Into European History

Educate LLC believes that the use of advanced technology in the classrooms of today is essential. It is simply a better way of teaching and learning. Most students are familiar with technology anyways, so why not use it to your advantage. Teachers stand a better chance of getting their students’ attention and increasing their engagement with technology. Some Ed-tech tools that your European history teachers might use in the future are as follows:

EduCannon – while a great tool for kids that need to catch up after an extended absence, it is, nonetheless, a splendid tool for the encouragement of a blended, compatible classroom
Padlet – this is the ideal tool with which to encourage shy students to participate in class – it allows your students to “talk”, and yet not be the absolute focus of attention in the room

Educapes – technology-rich educational games
Formative – allows teachers to see what their students are doing, while they’re doing it – and even grade an assignment as the student completes it
