Educational Technology – What is in the classroom today?

The following list includes popular educational technologies currently in today’s classrooms:

Document Cameras
Projectors
Interactive Whiteboards
Mobile Laptop Carts
Student Response Systems or Voting Devices (clickers)

In addition to the technology that fills our classrooms, the software allows students and teachers to take advantage of these new devices. The interactive learning objects and lesson plans integrated with the use of the interactive whiteboard, the curriculum presented to students while on the computers, and the “drag and drop” features on the student response systems are all crucial to the success of its use.

Interactive whiteboards…these boards are now being considered “conventional boards”. Schools have whiteboards in all their classrooms. Why add more boards? Teachers only need the interactive technology. Is there a way to add the interactive whiteboard technology while keeping the same whiteboard in the classroom? Absolutely!

“We chose mimio over other interactive whiteboards in the market today because we felt mimio had the best value. mimio’s ability to be wireless along with its excellent software features were what Collier County wanted. The ability to use it with an existing whiteboard was an added plus in an already crowded classroom.” – Randi Zwicker, Director, Instructional Technology/Media Services

The core advantage of interactivity in the classroom is engagement. Students respond differently and are engaged when state-of-the-art technology is used in their learning.

We help educate schools to utilize this technology in order to engage students. Creating lessons by understanding a simple ideaof using backgrounds and adding movable objects. We provide best ways to create, save and share lessons. Glorified “print screen” functionality and “locking” objects are just the beginning in using interactive whiteboards and engaging your students.

Contact us for an onsite demonstration and learn how “non-tech savvy” teachers get excited over this state-of-the-art technology and can’t wait to implement this tool in their daily classroom instruction.
