Mobile Learning
More flexible Approach to learning
Take advantage of a new wave of electronic devices that offer
portability and ease of use on a budget. Netbooks, iPads, cell
phones, iPods, e-readers and even PDAs are increasingly becoming
the tools of choice for today's educators (Jonathan Wylie;
Scholastics).
Cost of Technology
Many public schools may have grants to cover technology.
Private schools; such as Saint James in Montgomery, students
purchase iPads in the 6th grade and Mac Books in 9th grade. This
has their books for class downloaded.Parents and grandparents are
also invited to participate in a forum for the technology the
students bring home. This is to teach them how to navigate through
if they need assistance with homework.
Strengths and Advantages
Cheaper than purchasing books each year
Saves time in class
Teachers find the strengths and weaknesses of each student
Prepares them more for the future
SMART Technologies
SMART Boarders where introduced to me in the 6th grade, while
these were only included in a small portion of the lecture, because
we were able to interact it made learning fun.
The core of a 21st-century classroom is the interactive
whiteboard. It's the largest piece of technology and the focal
point for whole-class teaching and learning.
SMART Technologies include: Interactive Whiteboard, Projector,
Teacher Computer, Audio System, and an Interactive Response
System.
Improving Engagements through Classroom Technology
JumpStart, and LeapFrog for Elementary school computer labs or
downloading it to classroom computers.
These games hold interest while learning.
