    Thinking Outside The Idiot Box Analysis

    It was coveted, the time just after lunch but before classes resumed, a sort of pseudo recess that we craved. This was computer time, an odd hybrid between the frivolity of recess and the drudgery of classes. Oh yes, we were learning. There was typing from Roller Skate Typing, history from the Oregon Trail, math from Gold Medal Math. This was the technology in the classroom in the late nineteen nineties and early two thousands; a time that makes many older and younger generations chuckle. For us, however, this was a time for explosive growth of technology use in the classroom. In the eighties, it was too expensive. Before that, it was non-existent. In my fourth grade classroom where computer time was waited for with baited breath, there were…

    Impact of Technology-Based Activities on Self-Directed Learners

    Vital to life in the 21st century, the personal computer was invented, in 1977, and began the information age, which continues currently. “The information age is about learning on the move (M-Learning – St George, A: 2007), ubiquitous technology, collaboration and access to powerful tools” (Paul 2012). From Kindergarten to Graduate School, teachers are using technology to help students learn. Technology-based activities have changed the classroom. Technology-based learning activities are in almost every classroom. Students are learners that are more active and the teacher becomes a facilitator rather than a formal authority. Teachers are no longer the only source of information in the classroom. It is no doubt that the change of technology leads to a change in learning. More students are becoming autodidactic or Self-directed Learners (SDL). Technology-based activities have not only impacted SDLs, but also impacted learner preference and readiness.…

    Technology Cannot Replace Human Interaction in Public School System

    Global technological learning is restructuring and reorganizing the interacting communication skills between teachers and students. The extreme advancement of technology is causing teaching techniques to move away from the face-to-face relationship to a broader student-directed computerized system. Machines such as computers and digital software knowledge sever the human intimacy connection. This duel union between teacher and student fosters communication skills, mutual understanding, and a sense of compassion. Both student and teacher form a bond through the relationship when entering into a school environment. For the same reason, technology is at the forefront of our nation. Our children need to learn appropriate technological knowledge from skillfully trained teachers who facilitate guidance, spark creative potential and foster self-directed learning.…

    School Finance Research Paper

    There is a popular myth that government sponsored public education is cost free to students, families and teachers (Darden, 2007). The economic crisis has resulted in a wave of reduced funding sources for school districts around the country. As state and city budgets have been slashed, the consequences for districts are dire (Trainor, 2010). Debates about how to improve public education in America often focus on whether government should spend more on education. Federal and state policy makers proposing new education programs often base their arguments on the need to provide more resources to improve opportunities…

    The Myth of Computers in the Classroom

    Computers and the internet have changed the world of education in numerable ways. Gelernter explains how computers in the schools can be a negative source, when it comes to learning. Technology in schools provides as inconvenient decline on learning, this is because technology can provide answers for students instead of allowing the students to work at getting the answers themselves. Most students now have access to countless sources of information from all over the world. They can also talk to experts in multitudes of professions. Multimedia and hypermedia’s use of sound pictures and videos may have enhanced the learning process by making it more entertaining. What’s the point of learning to read if a computer can do…

    Effects of Computer Technology as a Teaching Method in Primary Level

    By 1991, this author’s research team at Michigan had carried out meta-analyses of findings from 121 controlled studies of teaching in colleges and universities (J. Kulik et al., 1980; C. Kulik & Kulik, 1986; C. Kulik & Kulik, 1991). The studies contained results from a variety of computer applications in a number of different disciplines. Among the 121 studies were a substantial number on computer tutorials and computer simulations in science. The results from these early studies provide a good standard for gauging recent contributions of tutorials and simulations to science teaching, and are therefore reviewed here. Listed in the 1986 and 1991 reviews were achievement effect sizes from 37 studies of computer tutoring in college courses. Results of these studies favored the computer-tutored students by a small amount. In 26 of the 37 studies, the tutorial group outperformed the control group; in the remaining 11 studies, the control group scores were higher. The effect sizes in the 37 studies were between –1.20 and 1.25. The median effect size was 0.15. This effect is not large enough to be considered educationally meaningful. It suggests that computer-tutored students would perform at the 56th percentile on relevant achievement tests, whereas conventionally taught students would performat the 50th percentile. Results of computer tutoring in science courses were similar to results in nonscience areas. These reviews also contained findings from 13 studies of computer simulations in science. Results of these studies were favorable to the groups that worked with the computer…
