In an attempt to improve the integration of wireless computing, educators and policymakers are reevaluating ways to incorporate technology tools into the grade level performance standards without separating the two educational standards (Collins & Halverson, 2009; Weston & Bain, 2010). Presently, students and teachers at the rural school district under review have the ability to transmit information through wireless technological resources. Francis and Mishra (2008) explained that teaching-learning with wireless computing effectively will demand that classroom teachers are knowledgeable of the security of information. The researchers insisted that teachers need to know about the stored or transmitted information through wireless technology. In addition, teachers will also need to learn the practicality and effectiveness of using such technology for educational purposes.
Although both the schools and students possess different wireless technology tools within this southeast rural K–12 district in questioned, the devices are not used to augment new pedagogical strategies due to teachers' technology attitudes, lack adequate training or beliefs (Hayes, 2009). Teachers will continue to be uncomfortable with wireless technology unless their attitudes about technology changes (Hennessy, Harrison & Wamakote, 2010).
Teachers' who lack confidence in instructing with wireless technology tools may hesitate to use them (Francis & Mishra, 2008; Teo, 2009). Teachers’ attitudes, awareness, lack of autonomy, lack of skills to assess what wireless technology offers, and technophobia appear to be the primary barriers that hinders teachers from integrating technology into their instructional practices (Hennessy et al., 2010; Ursava...

This study attempts to distinguish a concrete analysis between the measurements found and the natural abilities of teachers using available technology during instruction. From those measurements and descriptions, the researcher will design an online support network (OSN) as an instructional resource (Snider, 2009; Hennessy, Harrison & Wamakote, 2010). A professional learning network will assist K–12 teachers with integrating available technology effectively in the classroom. Access to professional learning resources will encourage teachers’ confidence through the use of available technology and help with any possible technophobia.
industries have made technology wireless. Wireless technology gives people the chance to get up from their stationary computer, or cord phone and able to freely move without restrictions. The IT, or Information Technology has become a standard and very critical part of today’s society. Wireless technology came from the basic just cellular usage to sensors in the medical field. Wires are now a thing of the past in today’s world with forever revitalizing technology. Wi-Fi (Wireless Network) or 802.11 networking
Introduction Wireless communication has improved dramatically in the last few years. Their networks are indispensable providing the means for mobility, city-wide Internet connectivity, distributed sensing and outdoor computing [10]. It allows the transfer of messages between people that are on the other side of the world. Without wireless communications people would not have a lot of the devices many 21st century citizens could not live without, namely the smartphone. It is also required for devices
The Benefits Of Laptops And Wireless Cards The CEO of Viacom/Blockbuster was once quoted for saying, “The information superhighway is a dirt road that won’t be paved over until 2025” (The Freeman Institute). Obviously, this was an erroneous quote. The information age is currently at its peak. The use of technology and the Internet are an essential part of higher education. In the past few years, colleges have begun providing laptops to all students. A few colleges have even developed programs
to mobile phone services hugely improved the connectivity. Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, a transition that might turn out even more revolutionary is taking place as the Internet and other data communication applications move into the wireless domain. Ubiquitous connectivity (i.e., connectivity anytime and everywhere) to the Internet, to company's Intranets, or to other data services is creating room for applications that might not even be thought of today. Regarding the latter transition
The hacker subculture is a commonly misunderstood part of society, which has evolved in the last forty years to become vital to the modern way of life. Hackers have influenced common daily activities and governments around the world while providing protections against foreign threats. Hackers have also served a prominent role in promoting truth and openness in modern politics, exposing politicians true motives and aspirations. Many prominent members of the most successful businesses began as hackers

Computer Hobby A Hobby That I Enjoy My favorite past time is to spend time at the computer, even at a tender age I like computer systems. To having a computer was a dream, an almost impossible dream. I had a friend named George at that time, we were in the same school, same grade and we had a very good relationship. At that time he had a computer system and we spend our free time playing games, printing greeting cards, banners, we also did our school home work. It was very nice and playful
SUMMARY The papers address contemporary challenges encountered in enabling computing to invisibly blend into human lives with the aim to improve it. The paper introduces the concept of ‘embodied virtuality’ [1]. How computing can be hidden without altering its real world impact. An intelligent computer will contribute towards solving a problem without the user being able to feel its presence. An example can be ‘Siri’ on an ‘iPhone’ mobile device. Siri is a computer software that uses sensors and
processing and superconductor is helping to make the artificial intelligence computer a reality. It is the aspect such as from quantum computation and molecular and nanotechnology to change face of the computer to come. The goal of fifth generation computing is to develop smart devices that will respond to natural language inputs are capable of learning and self organization. One of the event that led to computer technology is the product of IBM, where they introduced their personal computer

Alternatively, the way teachers perceive technology will hypothesize a key determinant of the nature of this quantitative, pre-experimental study. In this study, the reason why teachers do not routinely and effectively use available technology such as wireless laptops in K–12 classrooms will be examined. To take full advantage of technology, while reducing

1.0 INTRODUCTION Computer-based information system (CBIS) is a computer which plays the major role and with it there are six components that support the process such as people, hardware, software, telecommunications, database and procedure. Each of these components plays their part in ensuring the system run as instructed. Along with those components, the basic requirement is power and/or electricity. This is because without electricity, there will be no process can be done. People People or information
The Future of Wireless Internet Fifteen Years ago computers were just an expensive typewriter, calculator, and entertainment center thrown together in one box. People transferred their tiny files with floppy disk. The computer itself seldom had a hard drive. It was an amazing feat to dial into a computer bulletin board, and talk to other users of systems. Networking computers was more or less unheard of. The only exception were mainframes that might span several buildings, with terminals
Wireless Communication Security Abstract In today’s society advances in technology are growing rapidly. Businesses and people are taking full advantage of the improving ways of transmitting data internally and externally. One of the mediums today in transmitting data is via wireless communication systems. It is obvious that this data will need to be secure for many reasons. These will be the questions I will pose in this paper. Will this be a secure means of transmitting data? How
There was a time in our life when going wireless was a dream and was considered highly expensive but then started the era of WIFI. The first outcome of this wireless transmission was IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless data transmission and it progressed as a/b/n with the time. The last stand 802.11n was the real heavyweight and gained a lot of popularity based on its amazing performance. It gave almost 5 times increase in bandwidth using MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna technique. The
