Technology in Schools

The video on Harrison Central was inspiring. It makes you stop and realize that technology and analytical skills are what students today need to have to be successful.
Kudos for the integration of all the different active learning and learning for understanding strategies. I would like to hear from other teachers that are using advanced technology in their content area, to know what else is available to help students visualize difficult concepts.
Amazing

I really want to know as much as these teachers know about these gadgets and the way students are involved in their learning process. This is the way teaching-learning processes should be done because the students are developing their thinking skills which is the main target education has.
A high school filled with technology

WOW! This is what school should be like. I wonder how they are funding these classes as we are stuggling to buy paper and pencil in my district.

Harrison Central High's use of technology lends itself to multiple practical and exploratory applications. The technology allows the students to improve their performance in both their physical and academic activities by recording and displaying clear and tangible evidence that students could easily interpret and understand. As one of the science teachers suggested, the key is that the integration of technology in the traditional curriculum leads to discovery, and what enhances the experience of discovery is the cooperation and collaboration with peers.
Since my interests lie in language arts, I would like to see how technology integration works in that field of instruction. The interactive quality of technology would remove some of the anxiety associated with literary study or with understanding grammar and composition.
