ToonDoo - World's fastest way to create cartoons! HOME Teachers reflect on technology in the classroom — THINK Global School TGS has implemented a 3:1 program: three technological devices for each individual student. In this case, the three pieces of technology are an iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro. Students at TGS are encouraged to keep these devices powered on and available during class. Each TGS teacher has his or her own preference for integrating these devices into their coursework. As with most new tools, there is a learning curve. A critic might say that these tools are nothing more than a distraction. Below you’ll find a short list of some of the apps used for classes at TGS: CalculatoriAnnotate (paperless quizzes, read and take notes, share and send PDF files)Jibbigo (voice translation)My Chinese Library (Chinese phrasebook)Noteshelf (note taking)Penultimate (handwriting writing app – useful for Chinese characters and mathematical formulas)The Elements (in-depth periodic table)

home Research review series: computing Introduction Digital technology is driving extraordinary global changes that some are calling the Fourth Industrial Revolution.[footnote 1] Navigating these changes effectively and safely requires a significant understanding of digital literacy, information technology and computer science. This knowledge is also crucial if business, industry and individuals are to exploit the opportunities offered by this revolution. The national curriculum makes it clear that computing is mandatory at key stages 1 to 4 and that ‘a high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world’.[footnote 2] This review explores the literature relating to the field of computing education. The purpose of this research review is set out more fully in the ‘Principles behind Ofsted’s research reviews and subject reports’. In this review, we have: Terminology National context Reception and primary Secondary Gender Recruitment/workforce Curriculum Pedagogy

home Where the Internet Lives: The First-Ever Glimpse Inside Google’s Data Centers So it really is a series of tubes. For the first time ever Google has posted dozens of rare photographs inside and around its data centers revealing the absurd level of organization, energy and design that goes into powering some of the largest, most powerful systems plugged into the internet. My absolute favorite aspect is the color-coordinated design of their infrastructure as it correlates to the Google logo. What wonderful attention to detail. See many more photos of their eight data centers and Street View imagery of their Lenoir, NC data center at Where the Internet Lives. All photos by Connie Zhou.
Teacher Attitudes towards Computer Use in EFL Classrooms | IOLC Conference Frontiers of Language and Teaching Volume 3 (2012) towards computers may in one way or other determine students’ future computer use. That is why Teo (2008) lays extensive emphasis on studying teacher attitudes towardsICTs. Furthermore, Gilakjani & Leong (2012) concur that if any success is to beexpected from integrating computers into the classroom, it is a must that negativeteacher attitudes be identified and refined as well as fostering the positive ones.However, it is unfortunate to note that very few studies (Albirini, 2006; Egbert, Paulus& Nakamichi, 2002) have addressed teacher attitudes towards computer use. This,Sahin-Kizil (2011) argues, may account for the low level of achievement in computerintegration despite the remarkable investments made into it in terms of money, time andeffort. positive correlation holds between teachers’ attitudes towards computers and thei rtendency to utilize them in the classroom. classroom. positive user attitudes towards it. towards computers.
Main Index Resources from TopicBox.net - free teacher resources for every UK primary school teaching topic Databases | Computer Science Unplugged This activity uses Unplugged-style activities to introduce the idea of database queries, and leads to "plugged-in" experiences as follow-up. It has been contributed by Mark Dorling, Digital Schoolhouse, in the UK. From the abstract: This report gives details of a series of computing lessons designed to relate fundamental concepts of database use and design to children in Primary and Secondary Education (ages of 6 to 16). The skills and concepts developed in these les- sons begin at a very simple level but progress to cover abstract concepts such as Relational Databases. The series has been aligned to match the scope, range and targets recommended in the Computing At Schools document A Curriculum for Computing.
