children are now required to be exposed to so much more. Today, new literacy calls for teachers to teach literacy instruction through the use of technologies in order to enhance learning and productivity. Technologies such as computers, interactive whiteboards, word processing and desktop publishing, multimedia publishing, E-books, audio/video recordings, television programs, just to name a few. Teachers can use the computer to do so much in the classroom. For instance, students can use the computer
Given that “a major goal of the [HISD] Information Technology Department’s plan is to ensure that technology strategies and operations support the overall learning process” (HISD, 2012), the hardware and software to be installed and implemented in the district’s standardized computer lab will serve as a reflection of this goal. The standardized computer lab will support multiple computing clients, including thin client Chromebooks, a tablet computer cart, and a student workstation with desktop computers

The article discusses technological innovations for the classroom. Smart Technologies has developed what they call "smart boards," large interactive screens which can be connected to the Internet and manipulated by students by their fingers or a stylus. The screens cost between $700 and $4,500 and as of 2009 have sold some 700,000 units worldwide. 6. Ferriter
Report on Improving Writing Skills Abstract Our research question was “How can we use blended technology with an interactive whiteboard, document camera, and distance learning equipment to improve the writing skills and social studies OGT scores of all students?” In our study, we found that providing a writing workshop at the beginning of the school year and using the interactive whiteboard and document camera to project rubrics and then having students grade writing samples of OGT answers
before and after the reading. Hands on learning is used to allow the student to become actively involved in the learning process. For example, SMART Board in a classroom is an excellent way to get student actively involved. SMART Boards are interactive whiteboard that aide in improving the learning outcome in the classroom. This combine the computer and whiteboard together. The
Our kids experience a very particular way to explore our world today, and this comes down to advancements in technology and internet. Many parents would have had an entirely different childhood where discipline was much more strictly used by their own mother and father, something that is very hard to find for today’s parents, Thanks to the unlimited amount of information and a path to a wide field of material that is available at just the click of a mouse or press of a button. Now that we are living
meaning. We have moved from the days of chalkboards, to whiteboards, to interactive whiteboards. Our students seem to be more computer savvy than their teachers. Home telephones are starting to become a thing of the past, and cell phones have turned into mini-computers. Technological geniuses have even tried to eliminate books by creating electronic books, for example the Kindle and Nook. It has become pretty evident that being technologically smart is a necessity in today's world. In the past, technology
example of innovation and change in our university is when they had change in the system of study. They must think about how to become better than any other university. Our University’s computer lab and some of the class room had installed new ‘Smart Board’. This is one the example of innovation can be found in the college. During the old days, the lecturers normally used OHP projector to teach. Compare to LCD projector, OHP was without computer and it can be used itself with the transparency slides
errors. Ms. F would begin the afternoon lesson by reviewing the assigned homework from the previous day. She would present the solution on the smart board to allow students compare to their findings. In between, she would ask students to explain the steps they used to solve the specific math problem. Ms. F would solve few challenging problems on the smart board to help with students’ understanding of the concept. During the observation period, the class covered units
Does anyone think that they could live in a time when there was no technology? The world has changed majorly since the technology was invented and improved dramatically. It used to only be a television in someone’s house; now it is high definition TVs, iPhones, Ipads, Laptops, and many other things. An economy with poor technology could not survive in today’s settings. It helps us for educational purposes and many different things, but the bad thing is that it causes us to have lack of interest in
