TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOMBy Michelle Rastberger
TECHNOLOGY IS ADVANCING FAST AND CHILDREN ARE SO ACCUSTOM TO USING IS SO WHY NOT INCORPORATE IT IN TO THE CLASSROOM.
In order for teachers to keep students attention, teachers in the classroom need to be on the cutting edge of technology like 3D projectors and use old technology such as cell phone in a useful way.
3D TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM
3D PROJECTORS
Images seem to extend into the audience and into the background of the screen
Projects two images on to the screen One for the right eye and one for the left eye

BENEFITS OF 3D TECHNOLOGY
Cost effective Can do both 3D and 2D Many different lesson plans and many more
to come Dissecting a frog Deconstructing DNA Fly through solar system Math concepts Disassemble the brain Swim the Great Barrier Reef

RESEARCH IN THE CLASSROOM
Post test score improved by 35% Compared to the 9.7% who did not see the
3D lesson Females improved by 35% Males improved by 29% Students were:
Engaged Reaching in to the air to grab objects All of the children behaved All children paying attention
CELL PHONESIN THE CLASSROOM

POSITIVE
Encourages students to help each other Gets children ready for the “world of work” “Like a teacher in a pocket” Things students can do with cell phones
