Teaching and learning aspect (regarding technology) is something that is going to take a lot of change in teacher delivery and also in budgeting. It is great in theory to have every student have access to technology and the Internet every single day for 365 days a year, yet the reality of this is impossible. With students being from all different economic groups, only the students from higher income families can afford to keep up with technology at home. Giving every student a computer at home just isn’t feasible nor does not solve the issue of access.
I would suggest that we need to set up computer centers for students and their family’s, in order to promote family bonding and learning with the aid of technology. Students, and their families, would have to show their student identification numbers in order to gain access to computers. The centers would need to be open before and after school. Students would also be able to use the center during their lunch period. Computer centers would require additional technology support staff to monitor and assist computer use outside the classroom.
Researching material that the students are interested in is the first step to analytical thinking skills that the national educational board is trying to promote. When students are allowed to explore on their own, they are more willing to utilize independent thinking skills. When students are what to do on the computers, the teachers are not promoting a student centered class. The ultimate goal is to provide the students with tools to promote higher levels of thinking and this is what I feel Clear Lake is doing and what the rest of the nation needs to hurry up and start doing.
