Rhymes of History Technology
One technology that represents rhymes of history is the
Smart Board. Thornburg defines rhyme of
history as “a result of a new improvement that reawakens something from the
past.” My example is also what I used in
my project. I used this example due to
the many experiences I have has with the overhead projector as I watched the
Smart Board emerge. The Smart Board is
an interactive whiteboard with many upgraded capabilities. This technology allows teacher to use a touch
screen instead of messy chalk. The Smart
Board during my initial teaching tenure would have been much too costly for the
school budget. Now it is seen as
enhancing student learning, engaging students, and bringing rigor and
enthusiasm to the classroom. Using this
piece of technology in the classroom can eliminate boredom and better prepare
students for the future. I truly agree
with Kelvin Kelly, “we must get good at believing the impossible.” The Smart Board is a good example.

Hi Shirley,
ReplyDeleteThe Smartboard is one of the latest technology tools that have emerged in recent years. I personally am glad because the unwanted chalk dust on your clothes was nerve wrecking. This piece of technology is a great improvement and I can't wait to see what will emerge next. Good post.
