The clock is ticking. My heart is beating so hard that I can feel it clear down in my toes. Kahoots light, bubbly, and overly obnoxious music surrounds the room. Never before have I participated in a closer round of Kahoot. When the clock runs out the leader on the board wins a whole mini kitkat. Wow. I know, what a great prize. As the clock ticks down I can feel my body temperature rise. 5...4...3...I am now standing in front of my table along with many others in the room. 2...1...No! Once again Sky Views internet has timed out due to the lack of updated technology. Sky View High School is a high functioning school filled with technology. It has had access to PC labs, chromebooks, iPads, and other technologies for ten plus years. For …show more content…
Each chromebook lab can hold up to forty different machines at one time, while other labs - such as the iPads - vary dependant upon the individual classes needs. The Dell Optiplex 790 PC computer was released on the market in 2011 and brought to Sky View in 2015. The Sky View PC lab run by Marsha Larson contains 70 of them while the career center, managed by Heather Berentzen, holds approximately 50. So if you were to add up all of the technology available for student use - excluding the iPads because they are for special use only - that leaves students and faculty with 400 PCs and Chromebooks to support the 1,709 students that attend Sky View High School. If you were to break it down even further, to schedule the career lab it is preferred that you have a career based activity prepared upon use. So that can take another 50 PC units away from the shortage of technology already at hand. According to Marsha Larson, a common occurring problem is when a teacher gets denied from her lab due to overbooking. The teachers next step would be to then book a chromebook lab. But if there are no current chromebook labs accessible at that point, they can then attempt to schedule time in the career center which is the least likely available
At first, Chromebooks may seem fundamental. Once you see what kind of sites students are going on, you'll see why they have to go.
. The student use of innovative classroom tools will be aligned with the Cityscape School’s curriculum and under the direct supervision of campus faculty. The use of Cityscape School’s technology is a privilege, not a guaranteed right, and inappropriate use will result in the cancellation of that privilege.
What were educators thinking when they decided to enforce Chromebooks into the school’s education system? They were thinking about the connection between student and teacher, but they forgot to mention other important details. If Chromebooks are introduced into the school’s system, it would end up being a lot more complicated and a hassle than most would think. Chromebooks should not be introduced to the school’s system due to poor policy in privacy, due to WiFi connectivity problems, and due to conflicts in affordability.
Construction of a modernized facility at Crestview High School to encompass Career and Technical Education programs at the school, including but not limited to, Allied Health, Culinary, Cybersecurity, IT, Robotics, Manufacturing and Cosmetology
By providing Crestview Elementary with additional resources, students will become exposed to the abundant ways in which they can use technology to further engage their learning and help prepare them for their future. Through the use of Promethean boards, laptops, students will learn how to use technology to think critically and problem solve. Students will also be more motivated to learn, and will affect the quality of work they turn in as well as their attitudes toward learning in
Phase 2 of Chromebook rollout. Another 150 chromebooks will be distributed throughout the district. Access points will continue to be upgraded.
The Board of Education for the Rowan Salisbury Schools are fully aware of how twenty-first century technologies can affect the manner in which our teachers teach and our students learn. It is the goal of the district to provide a safe and nurturing atmosphere that is technologically rich. Providing every student and employee with access to these tools is meant to enhance and improve the learning experience that will ultimately improve the academic achievements of all of our students. The use of the District’s resources are not a right, but come with responsibilities for proper care and use of all district owned technology. The Board also reserves the right to place restrictions on the proper care and use of its devices.

Written by Cindy Wockner, the Bali 9 Clock Ticks newspaper article appearing in the Herald Sun serves as a neat, professional update on the predicament of Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan. Written in typical newspaper fashion, the article underlies themes of desperation, hopelessness and fear in a detached string of paragraphs.
Upgrading data communication in the classroom would be an appropriate technological advantage because research indicates that broadband and cloud computing are transforming education. The outdated teaching tools that we grew up with (i.e. chalkboards and hardback books) are now being replaced with interactive digital content delivered through high-speed broadband using blackboard and e-books. This means elementary school students can explore the surface of the sun through high-definition video as they learn about the solar system. Furthermore, middle school children can experience history lessons through interactive videos and high school students can discover geometry through gaming (Robyler, M. D. & Edwards, J., 2000, p. 79). Consequently, accessing broadband for digital learning is a necessity for students to have a chance to compete in todays’ technological society. From a pedagogical standpoint, updating communications in the classroom creates an environment of enrichment and engages students actively in the learning process. Upgrading the data communications in the classroom from a programmatic perspective enables students and teachers to quickly access the database, monitor seismographic data, and establish electronic pen pals in Latin America (Picciano, 2011, p. 110).
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. The old clock that sits in our unclean living room, only makes one noise. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. You can hear the eerie noises all throughout the house. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. My grandmother said the clock once upon a time belonged to my father. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. The clock’s endless sounds infiltrate my thoughts and mess with my head. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. My head starts pounding and my heart starts racing like a horse that was just let out of the gate. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. I am all the sudden only thinking one thing. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. The racket got louder and faster by the second, pounding in my ears. You have to get out of here, the elusive voice in my subconscious says.
In my opinion school, starting early will continue to be a serious problem unless we switch school hours with the elementary schools. Middle school students are falling asleep in class and not doing well on tests. Elementary students already have too much energy and are becoming reckless. If we put this plan into action, elementary students will be calmer in less wild in class, which will satisfy the teachers. The middle schoolers will be more alert in class and will represent Sioux City in a new light. Starting school too early or too late is affecting the children in the school district; we should swap school hours with the elementary
Today most individuals would consider a computer an essential tool of their everyday lives. In particular, students must become very familiar with computers in order accomplish various tasks necessary for their classes. The two basic forms of computers that most students will use are the laptop and the desktop. For college students, choosing between them can be a difficult and confusing task. Students must ensure that their device will provide the functionality they need for their intended uses. Laptops and desktops both have their strengths and weaknesses; college students will need to select a device that best serves their needs in areas of processing power, mobility, cost, and functionality.
The hardware Whanganui High School has includes many computers around the school which are all connected to a mainframe in the library wirelessly. There is at least one desktop computer in every classroom for the teachers to use for many thing including doing the roll etc. There is about 500 computers in the school. In some rooms there is a desktop computer for each student and the teacher, so that digitally based classes can be taught or students from other classes can do online work/ typing up work. Newer year groups are now required to all have a device to do work online and students without devices can be supplied with one by the library. There is also many wifi modems in order to supply the students and teachers with ultra fast wifi almost anywhere around the school. Many of the teachers desktops are also connected to large TVs or projectors in order to show the students information on their computers.
My previous high school, Menomonie High School, does not have nearly as much technology available for the students to use as Crestwood High School does. In March of this year, I moved from Menomonie, WI to Elma, IA, I currently attend Crestwood High School in Cresco, IA. Menomonie High School has computer labs and computer carts the teachers are able to check out, but they have to reserve them months ahead of time because otherwise their students would not be able to have access to the computers. As a student, I noticed the transition from Menomonie High School to Crestwood High School has been very successful, I enjoy learning now and my grade point average has increased. Students like myself enjoy their education more due to having more access
