Multiple kids cannot write at the same time. When the teacher needs something to be done fast on the Smart Board, they mean the first thirty minutes of class. Another flaw the a Smart board is the terrible calibration and the recalibration process. With the grant we can buy

    Take a second to contemplate just how much $200 billion actually is. What could we do with this if it we could channel it to be used for a greater cause? Think about eradicating poverty in our country or providing all low-income high-school graduates the opportunity to go to college. For $200 billion, we could literally stuff our low-income schools with the technology they need to keep up with the speedy technical evolution we are wrapped up in. Instead, there is $200 billion going down the drain on nothing more than administrative waste.

    Public schools are not in the business of making money. Their primary goal is to utilize the resources they are given efficiently, accounting for dollar spent. GRPS middle school athletics projects all of their expense in a worst case scenario. This allows the middle school athletics to properly forecast the budget just in case something goes wrong. The biggest expense for any organization is the cost of its employees. Employees include: Athletic Directors (management), coaches, officials, and game help. The second biggest cost is transporting teams to competition site locations. Properly utilizing donor funds has allowed the MS Athletics department to stretch grant dollars beyond the original date range. It has also instilled a sense of security within the donors, knowing that their money is not being

  • Persuasive Essay On Classroom Technology

    A major concern that some districts have would be the cost. They believe that providing technology to younger students would be a waste of money and would not pay out in terms of advancement in education. Even though it costs money, increasing the technological availability of kids in school does not have to be an extreme overhaul. Just slight modifications can be made to improve this issue and help prepare students for a technological society. Sarah Garland of NBC makes the note that, “Not every child has to have a computer to make it happen. Kindergartners can rotate through activities that include reading out loud from a real book, playing educational games on the four desktop computers in the back of the classroom and working one-on-one with the teacher” (Garland). Providing a technological source to kids would greatly improve productivity, not only because kids would be getting experience, but it would also cut down on the number of kids needing help at that moment. The teacher could focus on the other students at that point in time to make better use of their time. Another criticism of the idea of technology in the classroom is that the computers are decreasing students social abilities, because so much of their time is spent staring at a screen. Though it is true that much time of a child’s day is now spent on

    So the government just gave the school a huge 1 million dollar grant for the school to do whatever with and the money will more than likely be wasted. But the money should be used to do more things like help with more activities and way better food choices so I guess we have no say in what goes on with that money it really sucks but maybe this letter will help. So first what you could do with the money is just buy a playground or basketball court outside kids like me and others would love that it would let gym do more things and kids can get out there energy be less talkative in class that what should happen for the first part.

  • Belonging In The Classroom Analysis

    If a student isn’t learning by looking at the board, maybe it can help them to watch a video, or another student’s explanation. Similarly, technology has wide learning experiences. There are ways of learning out there for every person to absorb knowledge in their own way. According to Kim Bokyeong and Jung Jaeveob Baek “students prefer visual based lecturing over verbal-based lecturing”. This makes sense for the reason that if you step into the student’s shoes being active is more intriguing than just listening to your teacher the entire time. Watching a video, for example, on photosynthesis it could be more helpful than just writing down notes about the topic. It is different to perceive an event happen, like watching a video, reading a book, or drawing pictures of all the steps, then just to just talk about it. Doing it in multiple ways will help students learn the topic in an improved way. It’s beneficial for technology to be included in a classroom considering it can help every student learn equally, no matter in what way they learn. This can help students become less

I did not know before using the Technopedia site that there were so many different types of student response systems. I always just imagined the basic student response system with four A, B, C, and D buttons. However, the fact that you can have student response systems that allow for elaboration to open-response questions make this technological tool even more useful and effective. With so much pressure on standardized testing, this tool allows teachers to question and rank the knowledge of each individual student. Furthermore, because of the abilities of current Smartphones, the expensiveness of student response systems goes out the window in a classroom that allows cell phone use. I truly believe that both of these technologies can truly change and positively effect education.
