support students’ learning and

improving ones performance in all

aspects of the technological world

Kindergarten Technology

• When I was in kindergarten, we used old school Macintosh’s

• Everything was saved on a floppy disk

• Memories and or videos were captured on Betamax/VHS cassettes

High School Technology

• There were five to six computers throughout upper school that had Apple and PC computers

• In the classroom, teachers were allowed to rent laptops for each student

• Each classroom, had their own television and video player

College Technology• Most lecture rooms have a

Visualizer or overhead projector• In the library there are Apple and PC

Computers• A lot of assignments are submitted

online via Laulima• Flash drives are used to save information

A Vivid Technology Learning Experience

• Children and parents are able to access Kidbiz to enforce their learning from the classroom

• Students can use Kidbiz for anything like reading, writing, typing, science, etc.

• The computer differentiates the students by allowing them to work at their individual performance level

A technology I want to use in my classroom…

• I would like to use an electronic whiteboard• I would like all students to have a iPad so

each student can have access to the internet in their palms

My Vision of the Classroom

of the Future• I would like all

assignments submitted electronically through a online site similar to Laulima

• Most handouts and in-class work will be on this online site

A Challenge for Teaching• Although technology is

a great learning aid, I would like to encourage students to do things the “old school” way meaning understanding concepts/principles and being able to solve problems without easily getting answers off of the internet
