Motivation
• Traditional methods no longer capture the interest of children growing up in this computer age (Harvey-Woodall, 2009).
• Students demonstrate higher motivation and engagement when using technology (Harvey-Woodall, 2009).

Differentiated Instruction (DI)• DI is a teaching method based on the idea
that instruction should vary according to the individual and diverse needs and interests of students in the classroom (Looi, et al., 2009).
• Supports instructional activities that enable differentiated instruction (Looi, et al., 2009).
• Use of technology can help teachers understand the individual learning styles of the students they teach (Harvey-Woodall, 2009).

Achievement
• Higher levels of motivation and engagement result in increased student achievement (Harvey-Woodall, 2009).
• Can contextualize learning because it can happen any time or place (Looi, et al., 2009).
• Teachers should become familiar with the latest technology in an effort to make teaching activities as relevant and current as possible (Harvey-Woodall, 2009).

Achievement (cont‟d)
• Research suggests ICT implementation can support the achievement of disadvantaged and low achieving learners (Lebens, Graff & Mayer, 2009).

Audio Podcasts
• Advocates believe it offers unique educational benefits such as the time-shifting ability (Hew, 2009).
• Spoken word can influence a learner‟s cognition and motivation (Hew, 2009).

Cell Phones
• Take pictures of things outside the classroom for use in learning activities inside the classroom (e.g. Studying angles in math class).
• Calculator function
• Use the voice recorder for interviews in English class
• Use the MP3 function to listen to notes.
(Rogers, 2009)
