Activities: many students from all over the world as well as educational bodies descend upon the International Consumer Electronics Show(CES) every year to find out what the brand new technology is about to hit the streets.

    Some people think that it is a bad idea to replace tablets with textbooks and some other people think it is a good idea. There can be many opinions over this topic, so let’s explain why we shouldn’t have them replace our textbooks.The first reason that we shouldn’t have them is because if you lose them it’s it will have a critical impact on school. One of the reasons it could have an impact is because we could lose everything you had on it. Not only that but they also cost a lot of money.

The next thing I will talk about is the Electronic Braille note-taker which is a device with numerous functionalities used to input, store, and output text either in Braille or print. The newest devices store various types of files using internal drives or memory cards. They also have internet capabilities. I think that problem with this could be that using it for student may be hard at first it they are not use to using electronic devices. I think that this will help in the classroom by just making easier for the student to talk notes and they can also access the internet easier and by themselves it may help them stay more on point with what is going on and get it notes done more easier and quicker so that they can follow along with the class more easier and stay on takes more.

Reading is an important part of everyday life and is imperative to students’ success in school. Many high school students that struggle in reading do not enjoy it and even have negative associations with reading. Cultivating an interest in reading among grade school students is valuable. Providing students with a variety of options is one way to encourage independent reading. The ability to use technology as a means of reading is one way to provide a different option to students. Technology is an integral part of our lives and can contribute greatly to education. Many schools are beginning to use iPads/Tablets as a way to integrate technology into the curriculum.

    Note taking in class requires large amount of data to be summarized into smaller pieces, which means many of the details are lost if a professor talks fast. The classroom setting has changed in terms of ease of access to lecture notes through online accounts linked to a school’s network. Students are still required to participate in class and larger classrooms prove a challenge for writing down all the information. The Livescribe 3 smartpen alleviates the issue of information slipping away as the user is focused on writing. This is due to a technological trend to fit less components in the same amount of space, but with more performance output than previous versions. For the Livescribe 3 this means having an infrared camera attached to the tip of the device, and relying on Bluetooth to transmit the recorded information live.…
