Overview of Instructional Technology

Presenter, Dr. Jeff Stowell  does an overview with his staff about instructional technology in the classroom.      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO0gENvpbj4

My first technology media presented are the Smartboards.

Dr. Jeff Stowell talks the advantages teachers will have using technology. This video showed examples how SRS (Smartboard) has noticeable benefits, it has accurate feedback, and it engages students, along with easily integrated in Power Point and comprehensive reports. These five points are a blessing in the classroom; I have co-taught using a product like this Smartboard but still need training to receive the true benefits from it. This Smartboard is the best idea for taking test. No more paper work.

We all know that schools are allotted funds to bring test scores up. Most schools spend money on supplies needed for their students, teachers, and principals.  At my school we spend money on the students.  If the student get proficient or advanced on their test the student get paid. The students receive 100.00 or more depending on their score. I think these Smartboards are needed in every classroom, with the incentive of earning money and fun interactive learning for testing. In this blog you see fun interactive ways of testing or getting information.
