About Us
More and more teachers are integrating technology in the classroom. After all, the world’s a changin’ and it’s scary how many kids know more about computers than their parents.
Here at ClassroomTeacher.ca, we blog for many reasons:
- to show cutting-edge ways that K-12 teachers integrate technology into the classroom,
- to network with other teachers who blog,
- to model for our students that some teachers in-fact do write, and the writing process isn’t something we just do in school.
- to showcase our work
Although we teach in the province of Ontario (Canada), many of the ideas we discuss are applicable around the world. After all, the internet has truly made our world a global village.
- ClassroomTeacher.ca is where we write about our experiences integrating technology into our teaching practice.
When I write, I use Dragon, speak naturally and dictate my blog posts.
- I have been using Nuance Dragon Naturally Speaking for over 8+ years to type this blog.
- I dictate my first draft using the voice-to-text software.
- I count the number of mistakes to calculate how accurate Nuance Dragon was when I was dictating the post.
- Nuance Dragon Professional 15 and Nuance Dragon Home 15 make it easier to correct mistakes because Dragon speaks naturally using your recorded voice clips.
- I’ve only ever seen one Nuance Dragon Professional Coupon Code for 10% off. On the other hand, I have seen a lot of great sales. I keep track of current Nuance Dragon sale info so other people know if they’re getting a good deal.
- There used to be a Dragon Naturally Speaking education discount, but I think that’s been discontinued. You’re better off waiting for a 50% off sale on Nuance Dragon Professional Individual 15
