This case study will assist stakeholders with making informed decisions on utilizing technology based resource within their curriculum. The XYZ district is a very small school system. Only 20% of teachers are currently trained and instructing with various technology tools, which are problems created by mistrust of technology or hesitation born from frustration or lack of confidence and adequate training and funding (Ruggiero & Mong, 2015).This study is essential because it can supply an example of teaching and learning with one-to-one computing and establish a comprehensive understanding of ways to maximize diverse technology tools within the curriculum. Although teachers within this school district have access to the Internet and online subscriptions, many teachers are not utilizing the potential of educational benefits that technology resources offer (Blau & Peled, 2012).

In 21st Century classrooms, electronic hardware and software can support numerous resources for differentiated lessons to students with access to these resources

In the article “Laptops in the classroom: Mend it, don’t end it”, Justin Reich argues that “Computers can transform the way students learn only if instructors change the way they teach”. Reich is directing his argument towards faculty and administrative staff of academic institutions, who are subjected to Western culture’s way of learning and structure of the education system. Both the audience and the author are defined by their common occupation and similar teaching experiences and struggles. In this rhetorical analysis, I will argue that Reich successfully persuades his teaching peers to “Mend it, Don’t End It” with classroom technology through his reference to his personal credibility as an educational instructor and his appeal to the

Schools have been a part of the history of the United Sates since the 1600’s in the colonies. Throughout our history they have taken on many different forms and have gone through many different changes. One of the very first forms they took was called the Common School Movement. The movement was founded by Horace Mann, Mann had many beliefs for the school. One of his major beliefs were to teach basic knowledge to children so that people could function in a democracy. Today that focus has shifted it is now geared towards how long students are exposed to instruction, not how much they have learned as well as teaching towards the test. While some of our core beliefs have shifted we still have some old roots. Such as we are rooted in the belief

Students learn in different ways and styles and I believe this is key to developing a program that engages all students. Every student has a unique learning style and this means that I must be well versed and prepared to cater and deliver a wide range of individual needs. This

At first glance, Natick High School may seem to showcase all of the ideals of 21st century, technology-based learning: A sparkling new building houses sleek Apple products that highly-trained teachers use to implement the latest in project-based digital learning and innovation. However, a closer examination also reveals that Natick High is home to many of the concept’s pitfalls as well. Expensive laptops break the town’s budget while academic mediocrity permeates the student body, who opt for Facebook over Faulkner and Instagram instead of integrals. Staff wonder aloud to their students if it would be better for the district to return to an already functional model of education with less technology. Therefore, the Natick High School administration should
