  1. Teaching with New Technology vs. Old Methods http://www.mclibrary.duke.edu/about/news/books1.gif Clip Art Group 10: Laura Prelsnik, Lydia Armagnac, Danielle Rosenthal, and Gina Meyer

  2. Old Technology:Books, Blackboards, & Notebooks • Teachers give the class. • Students listen to the class. • Teachers write on the blackboards, and students write in their notebooks. • There is no immediate feedback. • Evaluation: The teacher does a written exam, and the students take the exam.

  3. New Technology • SMART Boards • Library Resources • Computers • Email

  4. SMART Board • SMART has the world’s leading interactive whiteboard for classrooms. • The board helps engage students in lessons, no matter their learning style. • Its touch screen allows for teachers to write, erase, and use it as a whiteboard, but also allows for their fingers to be used as the mouse to easily move through presentations. • Interactive programs can be found online to help involve students with fun art projects, learning how to tell time, making music, science projects, and much more. • SMART technology is already being used in over 700,000 classrooms around the world. http://www2.smarttech.com/st/en-US/Products/SMART+Boards/ http://gaetc-ejournal.org/instruction/smartboard/smartboard4.jpg http://smarttech.com/ http://eduscapes.com/sessions/smartboard/ http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=79403&rendTypeId=4

  5. Library Resources • There are so many new sources available simply within the libraries at schools. • Databases on computers • Articles • Books • Journals • These sources are all easy to use and efficient. It speeds up the process of doing research and allows students to expand where they get their research from. • Although this is a great source of new literacy, there is a cost behind it. Expenditures include the above mentioned, but also software to run the databases, the equipment, and other required needs for the library. • In some cases the school doesn’t fund for the library itself, but students also start to pay a percentage of the cost. http://www.ifla.org/VII/s11/pubs/sguide02.pdf

  6. Emailing Information Vs. Letters & Flyers • In a classroom there is a lot of news, updates and important events that need to be shared, as well as communication with the students’ parents • Letters and flyers are left up to the students to bring home and be given to a parent, not to mention they waste a lot of paper and a lot of printer ink! • Email offers an easy solution to these problems, and best of all it is free, simple to use and goes directly where you want it to (parents!) • Emailing also has many bonuses that letters and flyers do not, such as it being completely confidential and also being able to do things like attching links to websites, student projects, other school news, ect.

  7. School Budget • The Department's elementary and secondary programs annually serves: • More than 14,000 school districts, • 97,000 public schools, • 28,000 private schools. • Federal Budget for Educational Technology for 2008: $ 272 million. • The Educational Technology State Grants program (ETSG) was founded in 2006, with a fund of $22 million. It gives advice to teachers on the use of the newest technology. http://www.ed.gov/Technology/funding.html

  8. Conclusion • Teaching technology has come a long way throughout the years. • School systems are now using new technology to help educate their students, while still incorporating the old systems of books, blackboard, and notebooks. • Teachers need to know how to use these new electronic tools, such as interactive white boards and email, in order to teach their classes. • In order to take advantage of all of the new technology, schools need to have a larger budget. Ideally, the budgets should increase each year, but with the economy, money is being taken out of school budgets.
