Digital Tools in Education
Some of Digital Tools that are Useful in Education
Some critical digital tools that would positively impact education are apps like "keep the
score," "Expeditions app," and Chromebook devices. Keep the Score app helps ensure an
organized classroom. Rewarding the most behaved students, answering questions correctly, and
handing in homework on time through grading while keeping the Score would keep the
classroom under control since every learner would want to succeed (Renard, 2020). Another
thing attractive about this application is that when integrated, the students can utilize it to play
competitive games, which will keep the class lively. Expeditions app would bring life to the
curriculum by availing expeditions to the educators and learners. Due to the wide range of
expeditions for the learners, the class can learn from new experiences (Mistry & Rochelle, 2016).
How Chromebooks Impact Education
Chromebooks add value to digital education by enabling learners and teachers to access
the curriculum content anywhere, anytime, which saves time. With the mentioned applications,
online education can be implemented successfully even at lower grades while keeping learners
lively through entertainment (Poth, 2019). Although I have not used chrome book in previous
classes, it is high time to integrate the technology and enhance learning. Embracing in-person
collaborations in the classroom and using Chromebooks for further research would foster
creativity and improved performance. It is a good idea to keep the class ahead. However, care
must be taken for the learners to use the technology wisely rather than concentrating on games
and other online content.
How to Utilize Chromebook in Education Given the Access

Given the opportunity to use tablets or Chromebooks, I would integrate the apps to keep
the classroom active and regulate the learners' behaviors. Ideally, I will train the learners on how
and when to use the Chromebooks, giving clear directions on what not to do with the devices.
With the "keep the score" and "expeditions" applications, I will be able to track the behaviors of
each student and grade them as per how they follow my instructions. When it comes to time for
challenges, we can select expeditions from the app and allow the students to compete with
appropriate scores being recorded. The technology will not only ease my work but also improve
collaboration in the classroom (Google for Education, 2013).

Response to Lucia Fasano
Hello Lucia. You posted an excellent discussion highlighting your experience with students using
Chromebooks to enhance their learning. Your shared experience motivates me to integrate
technology in my classroom as I intend. However, I wonder if my students will cooperate, given
that some are used to playing online games with their parent's gadgets. Although it may be
challenging, I will give clear instructions and keep track of the student's activities with the
Chromebooks.
Reply to Daniel Hernandez
Hello Daniel, I sympathize with you that the Chromebook technology is inaccessible in your
theatre classrooms. However, it is a good idea to introduce it if the schools support it. Now that
you have been using your device throughout the day, you understand its use in education, even
for the students. Indeed, integrating Chromebooks and relevant apps like classroom timers can
improve classroom activities and time management.
