Technologies Changing Education

I recently read an article on Edtechdigest.com entitled "18 Technologies Changing Education Forever" by Greg Limperis.  I decided to take a closer look at these 18 technologies to see how many of them were being used in my classroom and at my school.

1.  Servers - These I use everyday to input grades and attendance into INOW.  The county server also is where I store my lessons and tests.
2.  Fiber Optics - This is helping to increase the speed of the web and access to the servers.  With ever increasing video and graphic content on the web, more and more speed is needed to keep up.
3.  Wireless Technology - We have Wi-Fi at the school so that you can access the internet anywhere on campus with a Wi-Fi capable device.
4.  Tablets - These devices I have not really been able to incorporate much in my class other than using calculator apps but it is something I hope to integrate more in the future.
5.  Digital Signage - We have TVs in the commons and lunch room at our school that scrolls through upcoming events and news.
6.  Interactive White Board - I have a Promethean Board in my classroom that I use every day. 
7.  Document Cameras - I do not have one in my class at the moment but I have used one in the past and all of the science teacher at my school have them in their classrooms.
8.  HD Flat Screen Monitors - I just got a new computer in my room which has a flat screen monitor which helps to cut down on power consumption.
9.  Cell Phones - Students are not allowed to have cell phones during the day at our school.
10.  Web Cam - I have never used it in the classroom but there are classes that do distance learning at my school with it.
11.  Skype - I have never used it in the classroom but I can think of uses especially in distance learning and talking with professionals.
12.  Digital Cameras - We use digital cameras every year to do the "How Tall is it" project and I hope to integrate them more in the future.
13.  Cloud Computing - I have used cloud computing to sync data from my school computer to my home computer.
14.  Web 2.0 - Edmodo is a web 2.0 tool that I use on a daily basis to communicate assignments to students and parents
15.  iPods - I have not used these in the classroom other than calculator apps.
16.  YouTube - This is blocked at our school but I have used videos from TeacherTube to help engage students in the lesson.
17.  Databases - These are allowing us to analyze and compile all kinds of information from many different sources and put them together as usable data.
18.  XBOX Kinect - I have not used it in my class but I can see many possible applications especially in the area of special education and physical therapy.


So all in all I use most of these technologies, how about you?
