Smart Technologies has developed what they call "smart boards," large interactive screens which can be connected to the Internet and manipulated by students by their fingers or a stylus. The screens cost between $700 and $4,500 and as of 2009 have sold some 700,000 units worldwide. 6. Ferriter, W. M. (2011). Good Teaching Trumps

technological developments of the 21st century have led to 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

Technology In Classrooms When people walk into a classroom and a teacher is up front lecturing, all they see are heads down on desks. As they walk around people are sleeping and doodling things like “I love you”, and writing their names 1000 different ways. The room makes someone feel like they are standing in a funeral home. It is boring and no one pays any attention, and anyone could notice that when there is dried drool on the desks for the next class. Not all classrooms are bland though

Calculus I is the first university mathematics class many of our students have to take, our goal is to teach them not only math content but also train them to become independent and skilled problem solvers in those problems that require the techniques and concepts of calculus. The idea of inverted classroom is that the students learn best when they are actively working on a task rather than passively listening to the lecture. This approach to doing class is sometimes called the "flipped classroom"

Introduction It is no doubt that most people are afraid to change. However, they said “the only thing unchanged is change itself,” which I find quite true. People need to adjust themselves and try to adopt new things, no matter they want or not. It is the same when talking about teaching English to speakers of other languages. Students are different nowadays. They are greatly exposed to new inventions and technologies. Therefore, if teachers stick to the traditional ways of teaching and do not
