Computers
Allowing students to use computers to complete tasks or assignments gives them power over their learning. Perhaps they are very skilled at PowerPoint and instead of writing a paper you allow them to use technology to complete their assignment using PowerPoint. Perhaps a student is very good at an art program on the computer and they would feel most comfortable completing their assignment artistically.

Moodle
Moodle is a great resource to use as a tool for a class because it provides the teacher the ability to post assignments, activities and important information for all students to access. Another great feature about moodle is that it allows students to upload homework, respond to other students in a forum and also gives you the ability to keep track of grades. This tool is a great resource both for students and teachers from different learning areas.

Flipped Classroom
A flipped classroom is a more recent teaching model that can incorporate technology in the home. the premise behind a flipped classroom is that students learn information at home through short 10-15 minute videos about the topic to be reviewed in class. The great thing about this is that students can rewind the video if they need to based on their own needs. Once the students return to class they will participate in activities, discussions and projects based on what they learned on their own time. This model allows for teachers to work with students one-on-one based on their skill level. This concept can be used in any grade level and for any subject. It is ideal to have technology at home but it isn't mandatory. Students can also access the information from their teacher through notes or PowerPoint print outs.
