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.
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
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
Phase 2 of Chromebook rollout. Another 150 chromebooks will be distributed throughout the district. Access points will continue to be upgraded.
From my very first observation I could tell that technology played a huge role in Ms. Felder-Way’s classroom. She found ways to integrate technology into almost every lesson. All of the students were assigned Chromebooks which were purchased by the district. In the classroom there was a SMART Board, two desktop
The McAllen district has recently become technologically innovated. Students received iPads for educational purposes and will soon exchange their iPads for Chrome Books to make sure all students have access to resources.
Computers are the foundation of instructional technology but despite their many uses and importance in nearly every workplace many schools have poor funding for technology. Kids who are in schools that don’t have adequate tech funding end up behind their peers, and their lack of computer skills can affect everything from their ability to research for academic projects to their ability to enter STEM related jobs and programs.
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.
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
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.
War affects people deeply. It affects them as individuals and it affects them as a people. The experience of war and the changes that happen are different but lives are never the same. Each film tries to describe this to those who haven’t personally experienced it. Where 12 O’clock High has a focus on the individual soldiers, City of Life and Death takes a wider view from combatant to civilian to foreigner.
Tick, Tock, chimes my life clock. The peal of every second’s sound passing through my ears like the background music from a movie on the big screen. Constant… white noise. As I sit back and recall the situations I've encountered in this peculiar life of mine, I come to the realisation that my clock has almost struck twelve. My time is almost up.
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).
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.
