Using technology in the classroom can make the entire educational process more immersive and successful for both teachers and students. However, sometimes not all the conditions are met for it to bring true results, which is why educators propose that:
- All stakeholders (students included) are invited to voice their opinions and concerns,
- A clear plan is created for the establishment of an engaging learning environment,
- Appropriate professional development is introduced for teachers
- A network infrastructure is built which would be strong enough to support a 1:1 implementation
- New mobile devices are integrated with other systems on the network, including projectors, printers, and scanners
- A steady multi-year funding stream is secured for these purposes
In terms of delivering educational content, a projector is still the most practical and affordable method for large screens. Not only does it increase student engagement and create more immersive experiences, but it also results in more effective learning of new material.
Newer interactive projectors by Casio, a Japan-based multinational consumer electronics manufacturing company, aim to support both students and teachers in the collaborative classroom.
In addition to providing flexible content delivery, these projectors can increase interaction and promote student engagement. The more engaged and immersed students are, the more they will learn. That said, to truly make the most out of implementing these newer technologies in the classroom, there needs to be a system of meaningful, ongoing professional development in place for teachers so they can learn how to improve instruction.
