Split & Merge: how to organize classroom materials

Having a digital classroom, whether your students are learning digitally or in person, is an excellent approach to keep them involved and excited about their studies. It's great to have all of your digital lesson plans in one place, but if you don't organize them, you'll find it difficult to find what you need during the school year.

This article will outline how Lumin’s editor will help you better organize your digital classroom.

Challenges organizing digital classroom materials

Below are a few pressing challenges facing schools, along with some practical and technological solutions to assist in overcoming them.

Keeping students engaged
It’s difficult in any classroom to keep all students engaged for an extended perio. Technology engages students whether they are working alone or in groups as it’s often interactive.

Helping students with different learning styles

Students don’t all learn and retain information in the same way or at the same rate. Teachers can use technology to modify information and change content based on their students' individual learning capacities. Students can also work at their own pace when using technology.

Teaching students life skills
Because of how frequently it’s utilized in everyday life, technology has evolved into its own sort of literacy. Many professions rely on Microsoft Office or Google Drive on a daily basis; whether it's balancing finances on spreadsheets, preparing presentation decks or slide shows, or attaching documents to emails to relay essential information. Allowing children to practice and improve these abilities prepares them for life after school.

Although it is a popular misconception that integrating technology into the classroom might be expensive for schools, children don’t need their own tablets or laptops to succeed with technology. Auditory and visual learners can certainly benefit from the use of technology in the classroom. Simple technology such as PowerPoint presentations, online games, internet homework tasks, and online grading systems can make a significant difference in students' classroom growth.
