New tech builds upon old tech, and we find ourselves where we are today, which probably started nearly 100 years ago.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It may not seem very high tech now, but when radio burst upon the scene in the 1920s, it was considered miraculous. You could sit in your home in Iowa and hear an orchestra from a hotel in New York\u2014something most non-New Yorkers would never otherwise hear during their lifetimes. Not only entertaining, radio also created <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.instructure.com\/courses\/7\/pages\/instructional-radio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a new wave of learning<\/a> as on-air classes began popping up for any student within broadcast range.<\/p>\n<p>Other technologies that were utilized by educators\u2014and many of which today\u2019s students may find hilarious\u2014are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The overhead projector<\/strong> \u2013 First developed in 1853, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whoinventedit.net\/who-invented-the-overhead-projector.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">overhead projector<\/a> would become a staple of American classrooms 100 years later, in the 1950s. Rather than be limited to writing on a chalkboard, teachers could create and write on transparent film for an entire classroom to see.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The ballpoint pen<\/strong> \u2013 This miraculous writing instrument was the first pen that didn\u2019t require it constantly be refilled with, or dipped in, ink. Starting in 1945, the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec540sept12\/2012\/10\/28\/the-invention-of-the-ballpoint-pen-and-its-effects-on-literacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ballpoint pen<\/a> had Americans quickly saying goodbye to their messy fountain pens and, for the first time, students could write in ink quickly and cleanly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The mimeograph<\/strong> \u2013 Invented by Thomas Edison in 1887, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.nationalgeographic.com\/2016\/06\/mimeo-mimeograph-revolution-literature-beat-poetry-activism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mimeographs<\/a> were like small, inexpensive printing presses and they were a ubiquitous presence in classrooms in the 1950s and 1960s. Teachers could type a page of copy\u2014usually a quiz or test\u2014create a stencil from the page, wrap it on a circular drum and crank out copies for each and every anxious student.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Television and NET<\/strong> \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/americanarchive.org\/about-the-american-archive\/projects\/net-catalog\/series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Educational Television<\/a> (NET) debuted in 1954, not long after the first televisions started appearing in peoples\u2019 homes. NET broadcast adult educational programs like About Ceramics, Adventures in the Arts, and Biology, but also had broadcast classes that K-8 students could enjoy such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Children\u2019s Corner. Televisions were wheeled into classrooms so students could watch NET\u2019s classes for free. In 1970, NET evolved into the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) which, sadly, no longer airs About Ceramics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The photocopier<\/strong> \u2013 At the dawn of the 1960s, Xerox introduced the first commercially available <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Photocopier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">photocopier<\/a>. While expensive, the price would come down throughout the \u201960s so that by the end of the decade, mimeographs were being replace in schools by high-speed copiers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The handheld calculator<\/strong> \u2013 Early in the 1970s, <a href=\"http:\/\/hackeducation.com\/2015\/03\/12\/calculators\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">calculators<\/a> became small and affordable and, at first, hated by schools. In 1975 the National Advisory Committee on Mathematical Education suggested that only those in 8th grade and above should have access to calculators. By 1980, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics recommended that they should be used at all grade levels. Calculators made it possible to learn mathematical concepts without stressing over computational errors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Starting in 1984 with Apple\u2019s first <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Macintosh_128K\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Macintosh<\/a>\u2014and augmented by the first public, commercial use of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pewinternet.org\/2014\/03\/11\/world-wide-web-timeline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">internet<\/a> nine years later\u2014the current technology has evolved from laptops to smartphones to tablets to Chromebooks, working its way into nearly every classroom. Like all the above examples, today\u2019s use of technology in the classroom should be embraced by parents everywhere. Why? Because today\u2019s technology provides many benefits, including:<\/p>\n<h2>Instant access to knowledge<\/h2>\n<p>Kids can look up words or Google concepts or ideas on the fly. Instead of stopping to find a dictionary to get the definition of a word, online dictionaries can give a definition in seconds. Where it once required a trip to the library to research a subject or search for information, Google can tell a child anything in seconds. Having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.educause.edu\/research-and-publications\/books\/educating-net-generation\/using-technology-learning-tool-not-just-cool-new-thing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">all the world\u2019s knowledge<\/a> available from anywhere is pretty empowering.<\/p>\n<h2>Preparation for the future<\/h2>\n<p>Every parent has probably been behind someone at the grocery store who is trying to pay with a credit or ATM card and is totally confused by the card reader. And every parent probably knows someone who can\u2019t figure out how to answer their smart phone or return a text. Technology moves quickly and it\u2019s easy to be left behind. Classroom tech assures that your student will remain on technology\u2019s cutting edge, which is <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ineteng.com\/5-ways-technology-prepares-students-for-the-future\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">where the future lies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>A blended learning environment<\/h2>\n<p>Parents needn\u2019t worry that technology is going to replace the standard educational model. It\u2019s been shown that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blendedlearning.org\/basics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blended learning<\/a> gives students the greatest educational advantage. Blended learning provides monitored, online education that can be accessed from home with standard, brick-and-mortar educational techniques at school. Learning can be customized to each student, and is based on mastery of subjects, not based on getting to the next chapter by the end of the week.<\/p>\n<h2>Collaboration with others<\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/rschstat\/eval\/tech\/evidence-based-practices\/finalreport.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Department of Education study<\/a> reported that, by working on group projects, classroom technology encouraged collaboration through mentoring and creative cooperation. Students even learned to work with those in other schools, other states, and other countries. Collaboration is an important component in many careers where team participation is required.<\/p>\n<h2>Active vs. Passive Learning<\/h2>\n<p>Want to doze off quickly? Listen to a lecture on \u2026 well, just about anything. At one time, students sat silently, perhaps taking notes, while the teacher taught. That\u2019s passive learning because it requires no participation from the student. Today, concepts are taught using simulations, animation or video, and students become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techlearning.com\/tl-advisor-blog\/active-learning-in-the-math-classroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">active participants<\/a> in the learning process, making discoveries on their own or in a group of peers.<\/p>\n<p>There were those who worried about the negative effects that radio, television, calculators, or ballpoint pens would have on education. As it turned out, all of those technologies played a positive role in advancing educational techniques and providing a better method for learning. Today\u2019s technology is no different. Classroom tech is essential in preparing students for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether large or small, technical innovations have always resulted in positive changes in education.
