The Teachers of today using the Technologies of tomorrow • SLides By: Jemille Kazandra De La Cruz, Keith Kowalski, & Lucas Volk
Old Technologies in the Classroom (what we saw) • Middle School • Old Windows PCs (windows 98’) • Typing speed/ability improvement programs • Old word processing programs • Overhead projectors • VHS movies + old CRT TVs • Elementary • Apple lab computers • Number Munchers (math games) • Various educational programs (games) • Overhead projectors • Cassette players (music class) • High School • PC labs (Windows 2000 – XP) • MS Office (word, power point, excel..) 2000 • Out-dated search system for school’s library • Overhead projectors • Still used old CRT TVs with VHS capabilities • Seldom DVD usage
New Technologies in the Classroom(What is seen today) • Elementary / Middle School / Highschool • Advanced computers / laptops (Mac and PC) • Tablet PCs (touch screens) • Uniquely developed software designed to interact more efficiently and effectively with students. • Ease of recording grades for teachers (i.e., powerful database tools, strong organization, less time spent ‘grading’ – more time spent teaching) • While Overhead projectors may still see some use occasionally, Smart Boards / Power point presentations are the up and coming presentation tools for the classroom. • Smart boards are quickly becoming extremely effective since they allow the instructor the ability to post notes on class websites and serve as an interactive hands-on tool for the teacher and the class. • High definition projectors (another replacement for overheads) • DVD/Blueray technology along with flat-screen TVs. Schools often run their ‘news’ through these TVs each morning to students. • PDFs and eBooks are slowly replacing physical textbooks in some schools. This is gaining popularity and may become standard in all K-12 grades soon. (Saves on school’s funds). • High Speed internet capabilities. • Usage has become exceedingly fast within the last 5-8 years. Students and instructors have massive amounts of knowledge available to them near instantly.
Overall effect of old and new Technologies • Classroom Impact of New Technologies • vast amount of information now available due to technological influx • benefit and engage BOTH teacher and student • allows for students to develop new literacy's involving technology • Classroom Impact of Old Technologies • not interactive or engaging for the students or the teachers • very basic and self explanatory • cheep and easy to maintain and handle, no programs or special training needed
Dry Erase Board • So called “Future Markerboards” features glass-like construction • Makes it blend in for any conference room/classroom. • Cost ranges from $655.99 - $2,080.99; cost depends on the size of the board.
Interactive whiteboard • An Interactive whiteboard displays and engages students • It also inspires imagination • And drive collaboration with the students • Optical touch technologies • Sleek, Slim and 178° viewing angles • Superior picture technologies • Cost ranges: $999.00 - $1,599.00
The Business Of New Technologies • class room technological development has become an extremely profitable business • starting with the smart board boom became extremely profitable • dominated by company SMARTTECH • Questions to be Asked • does profitability of educational tools hinder the educational proses? • are those in need of these tool able to obtain them? • are these tools now essential to a good education or simply an item to supplement education?
Cool things to do with new Technology • Smart Board Tricks • Teaching With New Tech • It would seem that teaching with new technologies with expand exponentially!
