We as instructors must determine our own individual teaching style to determine what teaching tools would most benefit us to help carry the messafe to the students we teach.

It's great to make use of the many tools that technology has to offer. This makes the students more engaged when they have tools that makes it fun to learn. The teaching videos should never be too long since most students will disengage from learning if it is.

There are many technology tools available to the instructor to use. When thinking about the tools, an instructor should also be assessing their teaching style and how the tool could enhance or hinder their preferred delivery/style. I find podcasting to be an interesting choice and wonder about how I could implement it into our program. In these times, it would be a good way to have "guest speakers" that might not be available during the day.
With countless online resources, technology can help improve teaching. Teachers can use different apps or trusted online resources to enhance the traditional ways of teaching and to keep students more engaged. Virtual lesson plans, grading software and online assessments can help teachers save a lot time.
