How Has Technology Changed Education?

When was the last time you put your hands on a tape recorder? How about a slide projector or an overhead projector? Unless you’re stuck in some type of time warp, it’s probably been a while. In this age of technology, which allows us to do just about everything on our smartphones or online — from online shopping to online learning — these tools may seem like they’re from eons ago. Yet, it’s our youngest generation who is, more than likely, all too familiar with them. Teachers, because of lack of funds, are reporting that they’re still using these outdated instruments in the classroom. Yet, they’re still tapping into modern tools like Facebook, YouTube and podcasts to connect with their students. Take a look at how educational tools have evolved over the years.

Copyright Video – VERY Interesting

Spend the 87 minutes to watch this documentary on copyright. It will make you think and question your views on ‘copyright’ and ‘intellectual property.’ And it’s immensely entertaining.

At the Harrisonburg Children’s Museum (click logo for website),

families can enjoy a hands-on, interactive environment for children.

The newest addition to this amazing place is the “One World” news stand exhibit.

Kids can learn all about the cultures of our world while playing with

the SMART Table.  Do a word find, solve a maze, learn about endangered species,

see beautiful world wonders, play a guessing game, or practice your geography.
