Inner City schools lacking technology

Being a Student teacher at a city school I have found it that there is very few forms of technology for the students to use. It angers me to see that we are not allowing the future of our country…Continue

Dear Christopher,
I have provided (donated) some document cameras to teachers for students that were visually impaired. They were able to magnify worksheets and tests on a whiteboard with projector or on a TV. The student was able to complete…

Mr. Layman replied to Christopher Wickham's discussion 'Philosophy of Using technology in the classroom'
In a nutshell, most philosophies will boil down to the fact that if we really want to prepare our students for jobs of tomorrow (not today) then we need to give them the skills to do that. In today's world, those skills are technologically…

Have you tried these resources for grant money? http://www.teachsmart.org/Teacher%20Resources/Grants.aspx
Technology is only becoming more and more important. We are training students for jobs we don't even know of, because they do not yet…
Grace Gorman replied to Christopher Wickham's discussion 'Inner City schools lacking technology'
The lack of technology in the inner city schools is a problem because it does not allow students an even chance to succeed in later education. Children from such a school going from elementary to high school do not start off with the same skills for…
Kev replied to Christopher Wickham's discussion 'Inner City schools lacking technology'
I think it isn't just inner-city schools and I think it isn't about money. Many schools do not have a tech vision for their site. It is up to the teachers to make it a priority for administration. The money is there for technology but the…
Christopher Wickham replied to Geoff Blaik's discussion 'Raising standards through after school supplementary ICT project based learning'
Hi Geoff,
I really respect what you are doing for stuents giving them an after school program where they can strive. I especially like how you are doing projects that the children are interested in. I can imagine that that alone would get great…

- First of all, Christopher, our school is not yet open. We will, however, be using Flip cameras and wikis within the classrooms. We will use the wikis for assignments and information to the parents. The kids will use the flip cameras for some of their projects we are planning.
Korea is a highly wired country so we feel most of our third graders will have a very good working knowledge of computers. Each classroom is fully wired with projectors suspended from the ceiling, a powered screen, 52 inch TV and all the ports for whatever we will ultimately have in the rooms. The school also has a cctv studio with 8 channels. We are hoping for smart boards too.
Cisco Systems has establish a telepresence in the school also.
I hope this helps.

- Hi, unfortunately I haven't got my own classroom at the moment, I am a full time reliever at my school - I have a new job starting next year as the ICT teacher.
I have used computers within my classrooms for math games and reading activities as well as research - next year I will be utilizing lots of different technology - video cameras, voice recorders, cameras, iPods. As well as the hundreds of web2.0 tools available.
I hope that was of assistance!
