  • A Treasured Time Machine Set in 1985, the movie begins with Marty and his girlfriend, Jennifer, in front of Marty’s home. All of a sudden, Doc Brown appears and franticly warns Marty that something has gone wrong and they urgently need to travel to the future to fix it.  The three hop into a trash-powered car, called the DeLorean, and blast off.  “Where we’re going we don’t need roads,” Doc tells Marty as they burst into the sky. When they arrive in 2015, they find themselves in a futuristic town with hoverboards, 3D movie advertisements, hand-held computers, and people wearing strange clothing with self-lacing shoes. People across the country are celebrating Back to the Future Day with movie screenings and more. In New York City, a special fleet of DeLoreans will give taxi rides. Technology company Arx Pax will release a new hover board, a technology made famous by the movie. And the town of Reston, Virginia, will ceremonially change its name to Hill Valley, Marty’s fictional hometown, from October 21-25.

Technology in the Elementary Classroom: The iPad - 0 views

shared by Faith Salentine on 08 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • As the iPad evolves and new apps are developed, educators are exploring the possibilities in which this new technology can transform the ways in which teachers teach and students learn. In recent years, there has been a significant shift from traditional teacher-directed educational instruction to student-centered learning activities that promote interactive engagement, individual responsibility, and self-assessment. This is not to say that the role of the teacher in the classroom has diminished. In fact, teachers today now have the additional challenge of designing curriculum and learning activities that not only meet and exceed existing learning standards and prepare for the coming Common Core initiative, but also actively involve students in the development, implementation, and evaluation of their own educational experiences. Utilizing iPad technology, educators have the ability to integrate these student-centered learning activities into proven curriculum strategies and educational methods. For example, a teacher may assign a standards-based research project that requires student groups to utilize the iPad to develop an interactive audio / visual presentation. As part of the assessment process, students can exchange iPads and evaluate their peers' projects through "hands-on" engagement. On an individual level, the interactive touch screen of the iPad fosters interest and encourages students to master skills and strategies that have been previously introduced in class. The portable nature of the iPad also makes it possible for students to easily share information with classmates.

  • American university professors do not teach education students a universal, tried-and-true method for how to incorporate technology in their classroom instruction. That the digital revolution evolves at a rapid pace and that technology has become so subject-specific means universities cannot address these shifts and create a standard curriculum. As a result, educators have become more resourceful and ingenious in their teaching, professors say.
