I reviewed the 21st Century Schools. The benefits of 21st Century Schools are endless. Using of the technology in the classroom gives comfortability and independency. According to the this video, 3 years go only 9% of students were performing at grade level math. Today,62% of students are performing at grade level in math.Thanks to principal Jason Lewy, he decided to use technology in the classroom, he came up with a plan to use google applications and laptops to turn the school around. After that, all students have their laptops and they do their homeworks online. Technology is beneficial for children. They feel independent and teachers can control them easily. They can read the passages, the teacher gives to them special tests. This is amazing we can see the beneficials of the technology; computers, smartboards,...etc. However, there is one disadvantage of using computers, while they are listening their teacher, they are playing games, chatting...etc. To solve this problem, Assistant Principal Dan Ackerman starts to remotely monitor the students's laptops for inappropriate use.
Education in the 21st century! It is unbelievable and I cannot imagine after 3 years, what kind of technological tools will occur in education and I am sure these tools will be beneficial not only teachers but also students. Although it has a disadvantage, you are right it can be controlled.
