Technology is a powerful tool that is increasing our standard of life and the of which we live it all of the time. However at it's worst technology can also be pretty useless and dumb, which no help what so ever.
This is why I have spent time looking into this field to bring the best of efficient technology to the classroom to aid us in our work. Below are just some of these ideas, which with your cooperation really will be beneficial.
Email Homework -The Smart Solution
Lets consider the process of homework marking. You set the work, the student goes of and writes it and returns it within a week to be marked and returned within another week. Yeah right.
Teachers facing overload can easily understand the pressure of marking work. The first task is to motivate your pupils to actually do it and remember to bring it in, then with a mountain of papers off you go to spend your free time at home marking a mixture of handwriting styles, often hard to adapt to and read, and give enough consideration of the work to return it with an accurate mark.
But there is an easy solution to these tedious problems, why not have your students email it to you? Whilst this may seem lazy and pointless at first, I ask that you consider the five key merits of such a system.
Whilst it will not always be always be appropriate, I believe that this system will be beneficial to education and I will fully co-operate with any teacher wishing to take part.
(To see how the email and the internet are already help our education why not pay a visit to the online English and Sociology Forums?)
Project Telia - The Revolution is here!
Telia understands the pressure placed upon teachers to mark speedily, which is why we believe that a preview of work before it is marked will give a special introduction to identify the works major themes and its flaws. With an audible foundation, teachers will be able to then mark the text with a greater understanding, allowing them to be even more accurate in their grading. Even more, what’s great about Telia is the speed and accuracy of which text is converted into voice. Recorded onto a small MP3 file, you will hear a soft English accented voice narrate work with an astounding natural tone. Teachers may also choose a different voice including Mary, Peter and Sam, all with their own personalities. More so, teachers can obtain the file easily. All they need is an audible computer and MP3 software, and to get the file they can have it either on a floppy disk, sent by an Infra Red on an Ir DA compatible device or have it sent directly to them by e mail. Above all Telia is here to make things more efficient and easier. I hope that you have found this article interesting and will consider this free service which is available now. |
