Eduspire Solutions Continues to Impress with its "High-Tech Way to Monitor the Halls"
|
Educents, popular provider of educational products and content for teachers, reviewed Eduspire Solutions' e-hallpass application on its blog. The post, titled "A High-Tech Way to Monitor the Halls," labels the e-hallpass app "a 21st century hall pass solution" in a world where "old-fashioned hall passes are easily forged and rarely do much to keep students who would abuse them from doing so." Among the other benefits listed are enhanced school security, simplified classroom management for teachers, and more.

While technology presents today's teachers with more possibilities than ever before, it can also present challenges. Engaging students in fun new ways and improving classroom management and communication are just a few of the ways technology can enrich the learning experience for today's students. But when it comes to relating to their pupils, day in and day out, many teachers still feel like they're not on the same wavelength in spite of integrating modern tech tools in the classroom.
Eduspire's newest online graduate-level professional development course, called "Understanding Today's Students," delves into the powerful societal and technological influences contributing to the development of today's learners. Educators will explore the influences of postmodernism on problem solving, critical thinking and collaboration as it relates to student behavior, learning, and perspectives. Course-takers will then discuss strategies for equipping and empowering today’s students for a strong future.
