Once the student submits his assessment, Molecular Workbench (2010) reports, "SAM activities end by generating a report that includes answers to multiple choice questions, annotated snapshots, and the text of open responses. These reports are emailed to the teacher. Students have a chance to edit reports before they are submitted." Use of this website could produce the next generation of scientists.
Technology used directly in the classroom to allow students and teachers to interact with each other includes the Audience Response System. According to Turningtechnologies.com (2010) the function of the system is declared, "TurningPoint audience response system integrates 100% into Microsoft® PowerPoint® and allows audiences and students to participate in presentations or lectures by submitting responses to interactive questions using a ResponseCard ™ keypad or other hand-held/computer devices." Made up of three basic parts the response system includes: polling software, response keypad, and response receiver. Turning Point further states, "Using a TurningPoint audience response system, your PowerPoint presentations become powerful data collection and assessment tools that collect real-time audience responses and dramatically improves productivity and results for your business or educational organization. Author, deliver, assess and report without ever leaving PowerPoint." These systems can be used mobile devices and computers.
Research remains one of the main reasons for the use of the internet. The vast amounts of knowledge contained in the internet opens up a world of information. Libraries are limited in the number of materials needed to research all the topics available. The only down side to this would be teachers would have to set guidelines on what is credible research sites and this will prepare the student for conducting research in college.
Another new technology available to academics is the advent of wireless technology. Schools can utilize computers in the classroom without the wires and students can print without leaving their seats.
Websites created and maintained by the class represent an avenue of learning that will get students involved. Information from research done by the students can be posted. 712 educators (2010) promote the following idea: "Examples of what this...
Students can learn more and will want to learn more when challenged with the possibilities these process bring. Teachers can be more efficient and save time from the opportunities available to them such as online testing. No more paper tests to grade and less paper to keep up with or have to carry home. Computer generated assignments and papers can count down on the time spent trying to interpret poor spelling or penmanship.
Instead of students spending all their time on social sites and games with no educational value, they can use it learning in a way that is fun and promotes the desire to learn. Challenges can be made in ways the student learns from them and wants to learn. Interactive education makes the student part of the process and will encourage them to learn new things and ways. This is the main objective. Educating the next generation.

Classroom Media Citizens in Twenty-first century find the technological advancements as an inexorable support. Justified access; connectivity to technological advancement along with adequate training need to be provided to teachers in order to make them capable of utilizing the available technology to the fullest possible utilization of skills. Naisbitt states that Computers provide a cost effective method of personalizing education even though its capital intensive nature cannot be denied. Simplifications of
Technology in the Classroom In today's society, technology has become an accepted medium for communication. From email correspondence that has taken the place of mail, to texting instead of talking, advances in technology have become integrated into our daily lives. However, the line should be drawn when it comes to technology impeding academics and being incorporated into the classroom. Although many support the notion of technology in the class, others see
These benefits arise because of implementing both assistive technologies and Information Communication technology (ICT). The implementation of technology in classrooms usually has benefits to both the disabled students as well as the teachers (Kirk, Gallagher, Coleman, & Anastasiow, 2012, p.240). The general benefits of use of assistive technologies and ICT in teaching students with learning disabilities include greater learner autonomy and unlocking hidden potential with those with communication difficulties.
Technology in the Classroom Integrating technologies into classrooms can be of great value to educators and students; especially in regard to learning about languages. However, the use of these techniques must overcome a wide range of obstacles to be overcome some limitations. Most of the modern technologies used in education can be relatively expensive and require that both the teachers as well as the students acquired additional skills to be proficient
Technology Grant / Literacy iPads for Literacy Instruction in Grade 2 Young children live and participate in a world that is filled with a wide range of technologies. Development of technology moves at a rapid pace and now, more than ever, technology has become easier to use, more powerful, and available at lower costs. Technology is an "unremarkable feature" in children's lives (Parette, Quesenberry, and Blum, 2010.) It is the intent of
A recognized universal educational tool such as Blackboard should have a sophisticated search characteristic in order to increase navigation and productivity about the location. The third barrier concerning the Blackboard is that it does not give an e-mail that is within courses. Contact among teachers and students are done across message boards (Kubala, 1998). In order for a student to obtain significant material they need to start by getting on
