      I feel like so many schools are so anxious to have new tablets and advanced technology for their students, but do they have an educational goal that they are trying to reach by utilizing this technology or is it simply to keep up with a newer generation?

      I know so many teachers and even professors at the university that have very little experience or understanding of technology. It is frustrating that technology is available and very helpful but still some educators have no idea how to utilize it and therefore the students do not benefit from the positive learning they could be experiencing.
  • As technology evolves, so must the teachers
  • eacher is able to engage with each student and immediately determine what their needs are
  • The first annual Digital Learning Day falls on February 1 and will celebrate innovative K-12 instructors who successfully bring technology into the classroom by assigning online course content, using adaptive software for students with special needs, and utilizing online student assessments and other digital tools

    This article again stressed a lot of benefits that technology has to offer for education. However, my favorite part about this article is that it talks about how integration of technology begins with the teacher.

    President Obama used the National Governors Association annual meeting to call for a boost in education funding. President Obama has urged Governors to invest more in education at this year's National Governors Association annual meeting, driving home the idea that the country needs to boost its skilled workforce if it wants to keep competitive in the international market.

  • The idea that technology can revolutionise education is not new. In the 20th century almost every new invention was supposed to have big implications for schools.

      I agree that education is continually changing and technology is where we are seeing a lot of the rapid changes and developments.
  • Games get pupils more engaged, says Nt Etuk, the founder of DimensionU, which develops interactive games to teach mathematics and science. A lot of programming, design and artistry go into creating apps where students can compete with or assist each other, and which reward successful activity.

      Playing games that are geared toward math and science helps to aid in the teaching concepts of these subjects
  • Persuading schools to buy is only the first step, though. America’s teaching unions fear a hidden agenda of replacing properly trained humans with some combination of technology and less qualified manpower, or possibly just technology. Unions have filed lawsuits to close down online charter schools, including what looks like a deliberately obtuse proposal to limit enrolment at such virtual schools to those who live in their districts.

  • In many classrooms, too, computers have been used to improve efficiency and keep pupils engaged. But they did not transform learning in the way their boosters predicted.

      There is always going to be room for improvement in the classroom. From the teacher to the technology.
  • wikis to podcasts to training videos, are allowing both children and adults to pursue education on their own, either instead of learning in schools or colleges or as a supplement.
  • Teaching programs that monitor children’s progress can change that, performing a role more like that of the private tutors and governesses employed long ago in wealthier households.

    This article is a good article to get some contrast on technology in schools. I think it is important to understand both sides.

    This article is about how technology is used in the classroom to increase student growth. It also shows how technology can be used to make lessons fun.

    I think it is a great idea to use technology to make the classroom less dull. Anything that helps the student become more interested in what is going on and is educational is a great tool for teachers.

    For all the amazing technology developed by and for American defense and intelligence agencies, the government's spooks are apparently lagging way behind in one key area: Smartphones. That means no mobile email or Angry Birds for our nation's spy corps. One NSA agent is trying to change that.

Evaluating the iPad for Education -- Campus Technology - 0 views

    A private liberal arts college in Oregon took Apple's iPad through its paces to test its value as a a tool for learning inside the classroom and out. The evaluation followed a pilot of Amazon's first-generation Kindle, which the college eventually decided against. Reed College is trying to find a way to go completely paperless in it's classrooms. It is interesting to note that this professor feels that students would be less likely to check email or log onto social networking sites on an ipad because they are smaller and more difficult to hide behind than a laptop.
