Like many simple concepts, "open editing" has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users.

Why Use Technology in the Classroom? Technology, when used appropriately, can help make science classroom a site of active learning and critical thinking, furthering student inquiry and connections with the materials. Teachers can use technology to enable students to explore fundamental curriculum issues and answer core questions.
The following posting is written by David Moss. David is an elementary teacher who is working on his master's degree in mathematics education. He is interested in finding ways to effectively support students to learn math by integrating technology. (Note- Scroll down to bottom of page for additional links and resources).
Exactly How is Math Used in Technology is a table that you can use to find out how various areas of mathematics are used in different technology-based fields. You can choose to access the information by choosing a specific area of mathematics, such as algebra or geometry, or by choosing a technology based field, such as biomedical engineering or robotics.
Symbolic logic provides an excellent framework for computer circuitry. When I taught an electronics class at a NY City high school in 1990, I presented lessons on Boolean logic and circuitry. Specifically, I gave a lesson on gates such as AND, OR, NAND, and XOR.
Learn how technology tools can support struggling students and those with learning disabilities to acquire background knowledge and vocabulary, improve their reading comprehension, and increase their motivation for learning.
Grades 1 - 5 Type Journal Published November 2011 Publisher Description Vocabulary knowledge is key to comprehension and expression. For students in the intermediate grades, the need for breadth and depth of vocabulary accelerates as they encounter more challenging academic texts in print and on the Internet.
Professional Development | Feature Five Digital Literacy Professional Development Strategies Discussing digital literacy as a way to locate, understand, organize, evaluate, and create information using digital technology is one thing, but putting the concept into motion in the college classroom isn't always easy.

FRIDAY, Aug. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Already embraced by millions for their portability and ease-of-use, new Canadian research suggests that smart technologies such as the iPad and iPod may also serve as therapeutic tools for a very specific group: children with autism.
() Every day new technology is changing our lives in ways we never imagined. For individuals with autism, some new technologies can improve communication, assist in the development of social skills, and enhance the ability to learn.
Many children, adolescents and adults with disabilities can benefit from using tools (or technology aids) to assist with everyday activities. Complex, high-tech tools as well as common, more low-tech devices are all examples of assistive technology. The purpose of these teaching and learning tools and assistive technology devices is to help people work around specific deficits rather than fixing them.
