ED 310 MWF 11am

SCHOOL SYSTEMS WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY

School Systems that lack technology are losing students innovation to learn in the classroom

Students are turning away from teachers and textbooks to the internet that has a wide range and limitless amount of information

SCHOOL SYSTEMS WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY

Students are learning from outside sources, tools, and applications to make their own learning experience

The connection between the teacher and student is being lost

ADVANTAGES OF HAVING TECHNOLOGY

Reaching students in many different ways

Allowing students to get ahead Enhancing student learning Enhancing teacher effectiveness

SCHOOL SYSTEMS WITH TECHNOLOGY

School systems that are up to date with technology are having positive feedback.

Teachers are being able to reach the students in many different content areas.

THE EDUCATION’S EVALUATION OF THE ENHANCING EDUCATION THROUGH TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM REPORT

49% enhance student learning in reading

GETTING THE PARENTS AND COMMUNITY INVOLVED

Parents and the community complains how the school does not provide enough information to them

Getting the parents involved is key to help students to be involved as well.

GETTING THE PARENTS AND COMMUNITY INVOLVED

School systems are beginning to podcast information through technology much more to the community no than in the past

Allows the parents and committee to be more aware of activity, functions, and achievements that are going on throughout the school

REFLECTION

I support the enhancement of technology in school systems

Liked how they used technology to reach outside of the school

Bright future ahead
