Turning on Technology: Using Today's Tools to Study Yesterday's
A field trip from Ferryway School, near Boston, to the nation's oldest ironworks is captured with the latest tech. Technology is integrated at Ferryway Elementary school in science classes. Students perform science experiements using technology. This video shows how technology can be integrated to help students solve real-world problems in the classroom using cameras, powerpoint presentations, and research from the computer.
These 5th graders learn information that wil help them become independent intrinsic learners. I think these students are having opportunities of a lifetime at school as they use technology!
However, you need principals and teachers who are willing to teach outside the box, and use cross curriculum when they are teaching. City schools do not give teachers or students the opportunity to teach in this manner. What are your thoughts?
