 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).

5. 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.

6. 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

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Testing
 Accelerated Reader
Tests Books
 Preps students for
comprehension tests and
enhances reading skills
Helps teachers give their students the reading
practice they need to succeed.

10. Testing
