In this article on eschool learning it talks about how a school is working extremely hard to get wireless internet for the whole town. This school has already worked hard in getting each of their students a mac laptop but it is time to take it a step further and make it so each of the children are able to access internet in their own homes.
This would be a huge step for these students because no more would they be limited to only using internet within the classroom. The teachers would finally be able to assign internet related project outside of the classroom to enhance the students technology skills even more. Also the internet at home is important because the students will be able to explore on safe websites and teach themselves about the internet as well.
In doing this the students would really be able to make their internet skills even stronger by working on them outside of the classroom and then bringing what they learn into the classroom. Also in getting internet for the whole city it is going to set the younger generations to become very familiar with the internet even before they enter a classroom.
This is going to be a huge step for the town and as a further teacher it is a great to see schools working at providing home internet for their students.
This is going to be a great benefit for the school and the students to be able to use these computers! Technology is constantly advancing and we need to learn these skills for the future!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's great! If they are able to really get the whole town on wifi, there would be so many new projects a teacher could do.
