Integrating New Technology Into The Classroom - The Interactive Whiteboard

Comprehensive Classroom Technology Plan Introduction Incorporating technology in the classroom is a leading trend among educators in the 21st century. Teacher use classroom websites, technology tools, and online web assessments to keep parents and students informed, improve instruction, and individualize learning. Using technology to support communication helps keep both students and parents informed on what is happening in the classroom and the students’ academic progress. Integrating technology in the

creation of a modern society within which technology is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Technologically speaking, interactive whiteboards connect a computer to a data projector and displays the image projected from the computer onto a large screen. Interactive Whiteboards(IWBs) have eight main features: drag and drop; hide and reveal; colour, shading and highlighting; multimedia visualisation; multimedia presentation; manipulation of objects from other technologies and software; movement of animation;

The use of technology in today’s time continues to develop inside and beyond the classroom. Promoting technology in classrooms gives teachers the tools they need to connect with this digital media world; however, the challenge is how and when integration is useful. Many teachers currently do not have the technological fluency to accomplish the goals of the new national standards. The Common Core standards expect teachers to include technology in their learning to increase student achievement. It

Technology is an ever changing feature in education. In order for technology to be effective there are many things that need to coordinate together. I will discuss some the major topics of integrating technology into classrooms. I will also have some insight into how schools have changed over the years and what I see now in the classroom. In my three years of teaching I have already seen many changes to the technology that we use. I think that traditional media could be defined a couple different

resources available to teachers, even more so now as we fully embrace the age of technology, however, the relevancy and effectiveness of any teaching resource can and will differ from subject to subject. Even within the same subject, a resource that is effective for one learner may not be appropriate for another. With the onset of emergent technologies and the range of courses now available in the LLS, the traditional classroom board has taken a back foot in many learning areas. Indeed Armitage et al (2003:

The amount and usage of technology around the world is constantly growing. Because of technological advances, more and more schools are opting into technology-based learning, even with students as young as preschoolers. Many teachers (and parents as well) trust that the increasing exposure to and implementation of this technology is helping children’s learning abilities when used responsibly (Sharkins et al., 2016, p. 437). In my observation of a preschool classroom consisting of twenty boys and

educational technology has developed dramatically. Electronic media has benefitted the system of education in an enormous way. Electronic media is the media which uses electronics or electromechanical energy for the audience to access the content. Video recording, audio recording, multimedia presentations, CD-ROM and online content are all forms of electronic media and any equipment used in electronic communication process such as radio, television, desktop computers, laptops, electronic whiteboards, and

confidence in their ability to understand and use mathematics. However, math proves to be a difficult subject for many students. In a world filled with technology, it has become increasingly important to incorporate technology based-teaching in the classroom. As new technologies enter the classroom the question is raised as to how these technologies can be used to build math skills.

2013-2016 long-range technology plan that extends beyond the number of computers, wireless access areas, and network servers. The plan serves as a way to infuse technology into the everyday classroom, improve student engagements and enhance strategies for instruction. The Technology plan includes a background, curriculum ad technology, the latitude to learn and learning technology goals, objectives, strategies and timelines. The school captured the goals of teachers, technology specialists, parents

Technology is a very helpful tool that should be implanted into all urban and high poverty schools. “Technology is treated as a tool to help accomplish complex tasks (rather than as a subject of study for its own sake) that engage students in extended and cooperative learning experiences that involve multiple disciplines” (Griffin and Holland, 2008). Technology is a good tool to use when accommodating different learning styles. Therefore technology can become a motivator for students to keep them
