The following Master of Education thesis develops a manual to help religious teachers integrate technology into their classrooms. |
| Abstract |
Technology integration has the potential to enhance teaching and learning, and increase student engagement and collaboration. Integrating new tech in the classrooms can be expensive and difficult for teachers to implement, especially without training. Increasing the amount of technology in the classroom can also bring added challenges to the classroom such as distractions and cheating. To overcome these challenges, teachers must receive adequate training on integrating technology in education. The benefits of successfully integrating technology are not limited to secular education, but can also enhance religious education. Religious educators are in need of training on how to integrate technologies in the classroom. A manual was created to help religious teachers integrate Nearpod, Padlet, and Mentimeter while teaching specific scripture lessons. Each of these technologies have the potential to enhance teaching and learning, and increase student engagement and collaboration, while proving to be accessible, low-cost and easy to use. |
