At TeachHUB.com and in TeachHUB Magazine, we’ve espoused the benefits of technology the classroom for a long time now. We believe technology the classroom makes a teacher more effective, which in turn makes for positive student learning.
With that in mind, frequent contributing writer Janelle Cox, who contributes to both TeachHUB.com and TeachHUB Magazine, looks at how to make technology in the classroom more effective.
Janelle’s ideas include:
- Flipping the classroom
- Blogging
- Podcasting
- Utilizing social media
- And more!
Janelle sums up her article thusly: “Effectively utilizing technology in the classroom is a great way to engage and bring your classroom to life. No matter what tech tools you have access to, there are always ways to engage the learning for all students.”

Indeed, although the specific topics vary from song to song (love, cars, emotions about various items on the curriculum), you can bet that at any moment, there’s probably a song about school live on the airwaves right now (or on a closer friend’s playlist).
In a fun piece today, frequent TeachHUB.com contributor Jordan Catapano (who’s also a high school teacher in Illinois) calls out the most memorable tunes about school, including:
- Van Halen, “Hot for Teacher”
- The Police, “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”
- The Beatles, “Getting Better”
- And More!
Overall, songs about school culture have been a staple in popular music forever. The themes these songs address are universal – perhaps that’s why songs about school are always close to the top 10.
