At a time when lesson plans and supplementary teaching materials are just a search away, the value of this access sits at odds with the need for relevant, appropriate resources.
Content filtering has long been an advantage of the DT+ platform, offering educators trustworthy, age-appropriate, high-quality resources with clear and direct relevance to educational standards.
In today's blog, we're detailing three reasons these safeguarding features help to provide a more engaging student experience.
Content Filtering as a Classroom Management Strategy
In any classroom, the goal of every lesson is to have your students walk away with an improved understanding of the topic at hand. But this can be easier said than done - which is where classroom management strategies come into play.
These strategies provide an outline for how you, as the teacher, are going to maximize productivity in the classroom. They make it easier to handle unexpected disturbances and foster an environment of strong student engagement.
Content filtering is another piece of this puzzle.
Feeling confident in the resources you share during a lesson means not having to worry about inappropriate advertisements popping up or feeling constrained to your desk to pause a video resource just in case there are undisclosed profanities.
Through our commitment to providing age and grade-appropriate content, the DT+ platform removes the tedious vetting process of external resources, leaving you with more time to focus on the lesson at hand.
