As schools have embraced hybrid learning and recent COVID-relief funding and infrastructure funding have become available, school systems are leaning into digital technology investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, many classrooms still aren\u2019t equipped with the technologies to integrate digital learning effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How can you improve your digital communications in the classroom?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital communications can help your classroom become more flexible and digitally savvy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"welcome\"><\/a>1.

Develop competence and confidence in digital technologies<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to choosing mobile, collaborative technologies for your students, you need to develop competence in those technologies yourself. Try out the technologies before investing in them, designing lessons around them, and communicating with parents about them. If you know how to work effectively with technologies, you will be better able to tell parents and students about the benefits of these technologies. You\u2019ll also be able to act as tech support, helping struggling students. Finally, you\u2019ll know the quirks and gaps in your technologies, so learning won\u2019t stop because of an unexpected problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"guidelines\"><\/a>3. Create guidelines for digital communication\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of your students may be new to the digital classroom, and all younger students are still learning social norms, let alone digital social norms. Before launching your digital classroom or integrating digital technologies into your in-person teaching, talk with students about behavior guidelines. These may be simple, such as explaining the need to be polite, using school devices for school work, and muting yourself while others are talking. Creating guidelines for digital tool use helps students understand how to interact with each other in a positive and productive manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"wireless\"><\/a>4. Improve wireless capabilities and connections<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A digital classroom\u2019s success rests on its need for wireless capabilities and connections. These allow students to work from home, school, or community. With a strong wireless connection, a science class can take place in a school garden, or a cooking student can livestream to share their skill with other students and their teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"mobile\"><\/a>5. Mobile-optimized technologies equal mobile learning opportunities<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobile technologies also allow teachers and students to give and receive ongoing feedback about their work. This allows them to make changes quickly and consider teacher and peer feedback. Mobile-optimized technologies can also go wherever your students go\u2014whether it\u2019s to the school gym to video document a sports game or into the community to do interviews for a community history project.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"collaboration\"><\/a>6. Collaboration technologies help students connect<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While digital learning may be teacher-directed and involve student submissions of online assignments, a digital classroom can also be extremely collaborative. It can incorporate small or large groups of students meeting intensively or on an ongoing basis, mentorship models that incorporate external mentors for the students, or public engagement. Look for one-stop collaboration technologies such as the organizational and communications software integrations offered by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/industry-solutions\/education-cloud-phone-systems.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"creativity\"><\/a>7. Share learning with creativity tools<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These tools should enable students to move seamlessly between in-person and online learning. When the tools are present in each of these spaces, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teachthought.com\/technology\/digital-classroom\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teach Thought<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this allows students to \u201cconnect with the right content, peer, or audience at the right time\u2014and \u2018scale\u2019 insofar as that potential can be replicated for every student every day without the direct and persistent \u2018programming\u2019 of a teacher.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every child is different, and providing students with a wide variety of tools allows them to pursue learning in a way that works for them. Depending on the students participating in your digital classroom, these tools might incorporate photography and video tools to allow students to document their learning and demonstration and presentation tools to help students share that learning with their peers. Tools can also include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Streaming platforms<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wearable technologies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual reality hardware and applications<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E-readers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart boards<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video games<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MOOCs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Podcasting tools<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b><a id=\"device-management\"><\/a>8. Enable mobile device management tools<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve chosen a suite of tools for your students, make sure that they stay safe. Mobile device management will help you keep track of school devices&#8217; applications, data, and content. This keeps your students safe from outside security threats and gives you some control as to what is occurring on those devices, providing you with peace of mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"large-screen\"><\/a>9. Use interactive large-screen boards<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobile devices and collaborative technologies give your students opportunities to collaborate with each other in class and outside of class. While you\u2019re in the classroom, another key tool for your students is the interactive large-screen board or smartboard. Interactive boards display information and allow students to engage with them as they would a touchpad. When you\u2019re working together in a classroom setting, doing activities rather than just talking helps solidify students\u2019 understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51747\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/teaching.jpeg\" alt=\"A teacher standing in front of the class teaching from a large board\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"audio-visual\"><\/a>10. Seek out enhanced audio-visual technologies<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best side effects of the pandemic was that many museums and other public facilities opened up their digital doors, allowing students to access resources and programs from around the world. For instance, your students could watch the sunrise around an African watering hole, and later, they could visit a museum across the country for a tour of its displays. Large screens and better sound help immerse your students in these digital learning experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a id=\"flexible\"><\/a>11. Design flexible classrooms<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The digital classroom is not always a teacher-led classroom. Inquiry-based learning and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/5-tips-for-project-based-learning-in-a-hybrid-learning-environment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">project-based learning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are important in today\u2019s classrooms, helping students investigate their own avenues of interest. Collaboration is also key in the digital future, and students learn how to work together on projects of mutual interest. Classroom furniture and infrastructure should support flexible classroom configurations. As you work on classroom renovations, make sure that you\u2019re able to move easily into groups and facilitate many different configurations of students, allowing them to work on projects together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-post-content-cta rc-post-content-cta_yellow\">\n<div class=\"rc-post-content-cta-columns\">\n<div
