My #moonshot4Ed

My #moonshot4Ed is for teachers not to use tech as a mere addition to their lessons, type up a document, do research etc...tech is a more powerful tool than that. Tech can enhance lessons that can bring about total engagement, enthusiasm, personalization, collaboration, motivation & so much more. It can help teachers deviate students from rote learning, mere memorisation of facts that they can't apply anymore in the real world. 

Let's start changing & it all begins with YOU...change these traditional methods -> into more engaging, personalised methods of teaching that will better prepare them for the future. There are thousands of apps and sites out there that can enhance your lessons further. Below are just a couple of examples:
