Technology In The Classroom

My name is Brandi Bond, I am a senior this year with a B.S. in Tourism Management and my topic is How is technology in the classroom helping children succeed with their studies. I'm looking forward on finding out some more information as to how this technology works and what some of the strong and weak points are.

8 Ways to Use Technology to Engage Students Better

With the new school season, teachers are experimenting with ways to engage kids better. And parents are always looking to avoid the "pulling-out-the-hair...

We should always be coming up with new ways to use technology in the classroom. My middle school teacher used to use web-quests all the time and everyone loved doing them. It was fun and it was a twist on doing typical research. Getting students acquainted to using technology at an early age will benefit them in the long run because eventually that’s all everything is going to be. Technology.

Bringing Technology to the Classroom

Let's imagine if a person could come back to us from the past. Let's imagine if a student from one hundred years ago could join us today and visit one of...

Something I always thought was, “If you look back to the past you’ll see that things are very different from what they are now in present time. Cars have changed, there is new technology, new ways of doing things because we have evolved and learned how to make changes. Then why is it when you look back at the education system from 100 years ago to now it’s almost identical?” All the desks lined up in a row, the teacher up front giving a lecture, and students taking notes with a pencil and paper. We are growing in technology so why not apply it to the classroom?

Meet Nao, One High School's New Robot Teacher

The Career and Technical Education Academy in Hutchinson, Kan., has hired a new teacher who may fit in perfectly at an institution with such a technologi...

Okay this is really cool. I’m noticing more and more the use of robots and how they are more capable of doing tasks that a human can do and even more. Robots are being used in police forces and now in the school. This is such a big step for education purposes because it’s basically a computer taking on the image of a person. There is so much that can be done with this and I hope to see what advances are to come

5 technologies to avoid in the classroom-and what to use instead - Page 2 of 2 - eCampus News

In a technology-dependent education culture, are there some technologies to avoid? And if so, why, and what are better alternatives?

I agree with a lot of this but there are a few things that I do disagree with. One of the things that this article says to avoid in the classroom is social media. Now I’m half and half on this because I think, “okay how is Facebook going to help me succeed in school?” But then this COMM class comes along and half of our discussion is on Facebook. I like it because I’m always on Facebook. So as soon as someone posts something I have a little red notification instead of having a discussion on blackboard that I won’t get notified when someone posts. So I constantly have to keep logging into blackboard to get to the discussions. It’s so much of a hassle to have to do that, and instead of emailing someone because I have a question and wait at least a few hours for someone to reply, all I have to do is post on our group wall and someone will reply almost instantly.

“In a country where we expect free Wi-Fi with our coffee, the least we can do is expect that our schools are properly wired.” —President Obama to school superintendents from across the country who are pledging to connect their students with digital technology

[tech-in-the-class]

If we expect WiFi everywhere we go than it should be in the schools too. The schools should have access to technology to help better the students. We shouldn’t just keep doing the same thing over and over again when we know it’s not working. We need to figure out new ways of teaching and new ways how to help students learn.

5 Coolest Gadgets Every Student’s Must Have #2

[tech-in-the-class]

The notebook is so cool because you never have to worry about having o worry about buying hundred of notebooks, and once everything has been sent to the cloud all you have to do is but your notebook in the microwave to clear all of the pages and then you have a brand new notebook again. How cool is that?! You’re saving the environment and using technology while taking notes all at the same time.

Don’t have flashcards nearby? Don’t like writing out all of the terms for a class? Well their is a simple solution. Quizlet! One of my favorite apps to use in school because for me it works way better than regular flashcards.

Technology helps students with learning disabilities excel in the college classroom

Easter Seals Crossroads has a program dedicated to helping students with learning disabilities succeed at college.

Technology is amazing and the things that it is capable of doing is even more amazing. There are so many people that having learning disabilities which make it difficult for the students to learn in class or understand what’s going on. I couldn’t imagine being blind and going through school. The student has to put in a lot more effort and dedication rather tat someone who doesn’t have a disability and having the technology to assist and make learning easier is definitely a win for technology in the classroom.

Green Screen Technology In The Classroom | The Kindergarten Smorgasboard

This post shows how to bring green screen technology into the classroom using some table covers and an app for your phone or ipad!

I like this because while yes the teacher was using this for fun, there is so much room for learning with this technology. Imagine wanting to see space and being able to stand in the solar system as well? If I was in kindergarten and my teacher did this for me, I would be so interred and would want to learn even more.

Technology in schools: Future changes in classrooms - BBC News

New ways to learn, that put control of education in the hands of children, are being experimented with in the classroom.

The idea of flipped classrooms really isn’t that bad of an idea because it’s very similar to what is done in college. A lot of the time we have to teach ourselves and learn concepts on our own which can have its pros and cons. But being able to have the whole class period to go over homework is kind of nice because all of the classroom time is dedicated to what the kids need help with.

I like the idea of Personalized Learning because it seems like this will help the child get more help in areas that they need to spend more time on. The teachers can really see what the child's strengths and weaknesses are and can really interact with each individual student. If a student is using a device instead of a textbook they are probably going to be more willing to do their homework since it won’t seem as boring as just using a regular textbook and paper and pencil. On top of that, kids always have their devices on them and they never leave home without of them, giving them more of an opportunity to get school work done.

[tech-in-the-class]

Some of the cons I dob’t really agree with because there is an easy solution to keeping children away from seeing inappropriate material, and that’s by having certain websites locked down while using a school computer or a school tablet. While I also understand that cyber bullying is a problem, that can’t stop the children from using technology to help their studies. Children aren’t going to be cyber bullied while on an online database or doing a homework assignment that is online.

Technology in classroom: Pros of technology for students

Technology in classroom had become the major concept in today's education system. Technology has become more and more prominent in everybody's life.

I like this because every student is different and every student learns differently. With this technology in the classroom it gives the students various ways in how to learn something. Instead of using the old black and white textbooks, students can interact with their assignments hands on. They can touch and move things around on their tablet, interactive boards, and other various technology.

Technology in the Classroom Websites for Digital Books

Technology in the Classroom Websites for Digital Books

This is probably one of my favorite bits of research that I have found because of how simple it is. Computers are probably one of the easiest to access form of technology since most classrooms have a t least one, and if they don't have one personally in their classroom then there are probably some in the computer lab or the library. When I was in elementary school online databases were just starting out. We didn't really use them all that much since the teachers wanted us to learn how to find the books we wanted to check out on the computer, but we still had them. In high school I started to use online databases a little bit more to do some research papers instead of going to library but it wasn't something that I relied on. Now that I'm in college I use online databases all the time for research and writing papers. I even have a membership to some of them since they make life so much easier and it makes having almost everything you could need right at your finger tips.
