In “The Basics: Computer Resources and Syllabus Creation at Baker College” we discussed some of the demographics of our students, the fact that we are a “Right-to-Try” institution, and some of the day-to-day challenges many of our students face. Because they have been away from a formal classroom for an

author describes what he calls visions of cutting edge classrooms. He says, “This is a place where students instantly can access information and be transported to experiences never imagined before while their teacher navigates them through an unbelievable world of learning and growth.” He then says that this image never mirrored reality. My question to him is, when is the last time he has been in a classroom? Maybe he visited the wrong classroom. Just last year I witnessed a room full of 7th grade

The changing landscape of technology in today’s classrooms can be seen by observing students who were once thought of as a passive learner are now becoming active learners while engaging in technology infused lesson plans.

This is an advanced placement Calculus class of 21 students with 17 of them categorized as gifted and 7 of them ELL. Because of overcrowded conditions within the school the classroom is being held in a small language arts room which is not ideal. This lesson is focused on the approximation of functions through power series concepts. The students have various strengths and weaknesses and the teacher has determined that she needs to address basic algebraic recognition of manipulations. What were

Technology in the Classroom Classrooms of the future will be different than they are today; as they will include more and newer forms of technology. These technological advances will be readily available for use by both students and teachers. I see my classroom making use of the many forms of technology that are available, including: PowerPoint presentations, electron microscopes, video conferencing, web-sites, and smart boards. These many forms of technology available will serve
