To Integrate technology Into Florida schools; they have to implement a technology program; that has to Incorporates technology Into the curriculum. By doing this will creates problems for schools because owning technology is expensive.
The cost of technology is not simply the purchasing price; it consists of a variety of costs that accumulate over the technology's life. These include: capital costs (hardware, software, and facilities), administrative and operating costs (planning, upgrade, replacement, and technical support), and end user operation costs (staff development and user downtime).The mission is to educate and empower families, develop students active and creative minds recognize each child as an Individual; and feel that all children need to succeed. Therefore, we have to respects children's individual needs; foster a caring and creative environment; and emphasizes the emotional, physical, and social development of each child.
There are technology-based strategies to facilitate the change to assist teachers, administrators, students, and school districts. We as the stakeholders have to realize the benefit of technology in the classroom and how It Is to be Implemented.The use of technology has given the teacher a new title. Instead of being known as the center of attention in the classroom, teachers are known as the middleman between information and the student.
Students are no longer receptors of information. With the use of technology in the classroom students are understanding TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP 3 concepts better and their skills are improving. The use of technology reaches the students better than the use of the blackboard (Subsidy, 2012). According to Subsidy (2012), students are more interested in learning using computers and teachers can analyze the student's exults in different areas.
Technology is a great way to help students with different learning styles learn by using different programs on the computer. The impact of technology helps supports students thinking process; it provides opportunities for the students to problem solve through instructional designed software or opportunities to problem solve when trying to use the computer; stimulates motivation and self -esteem. Through the students interest in the activities they do gives them a sense of their own capabilities. Technology can improve the curriculum and enhance student's learning (Subsidy. 012).
There are three challenges that need to be addressed that will help schools and school districts integrate technology. The first challenge would require that schools have separate budget accounts for technology in the school budget. The second challenge would be to divides state funding into four phases; each phase would be contingent on the school's readiness to move to the next phase. The third challenge would be to create incentives for a Professor of the Sociology of Science, to provide technology support.I feel that these challenges, if crafted into state policies, would help schools plan for the total cost of genealogy and develop successful technology programs.
In my opinion the use of technology in the classroom is an asset to schools; it allows teachers to get programs to enhance their students' abilities in all areas. Programs today have the capability not only for the teacher to view how the student is doing; they have it where the parent TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP 4 can also check on their child's progress. I think technology is a great tool for teachers to use in their class and children are fascinated, interested, and want to learn.Research has shown that technology has the potential to change the way schools are structured. Some examples of the various categories of assisted technology that can be used include: Talking Word Processors, Word Prediction, Portable Note-Taking Devices, Communication Aids, Amplification Devices, Switches, Optical Pointers, Touch Screens, and Touch Pads. The first technology example is for writing is called Word rewriting Aid Software.
On the website for Boundless Assisted Technologies, they describe the system as a writing tool that helps students become more confident writers and write their own ideas independently.It checks their spelling, grammar, and punctuation. This program suggests words for the user, provides spoken feedback so that students hear the sentences repeated and can detect mistakes as they go along. Word includes flexible spelling options and fully integrated text-to-speech feedback and it adapts to specific writing styles to improve the students' performance as they use it," (http://www. Boundlessly. Com/Word).
The average cost for this program was about $198. 00, and it can be installed through Microsoft or Apple.This system can be used in the classrooms by the entire class, student to have their own laptop with the program on it this way the system can adapt to an individual's styles and techniques. This type of program can become a virtual tutor, and assist students in areas of diction, spelling, punctuation and grammar. Teachers and students can facilitate the elements of the Word system, and if schools are able to get funding for all students to access this program at home and school would be an excellent. It could assist all types of students with different disabilities and educators as TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP 5 well.

Technology stimulates motivation and self -esteem through their interest in the activities and their sense of their own capabilities. Technology can improve the curriculum and enhance student's learning (National Center for Technology Innovation). The first technology example is used by Devalue and Clay County for writing is called: Word rewriting Aid Software.On the website for Boundless Assisted Technologies, they describe the system as a writing tool that helps students become more confident writers and write their own ideas independently. It checks their spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

00, and it can be installed through Microsoft or Apple. It is more effective for each student to have their own laptop with the aerogram on it this way the system can adapt to an individual's styles and techniques. This type of program can become a virtual tutor, and assist students in areas of diction, spelling, punctuation and grammar. Teachers and students can facilitate the elements of the Word system, and if schools are able to get funding for all students to access this program at home and school would be an excellent.The second technology example that they use is Draft:Builder. The Draft:Builder was developed around the idea that organization of essays and projects should be simple to save time which will allow more attention to be given to the writing.
The Don Johnson website, describes the main components of the Draft: Builder, "It breaks down the writing process into three manageable steps: 1) brainstorming, 2) note-taking and 3) writing the first draft.Following this structure allows students to learn to generate and organize ideas to form a cohesive paper. Draft: Builder is particularly useful to students who have trouble with organization, who has Autism Spectrum Disorders and Espalier's" (website: http://www. Don]nonstop.
Com/products/draft_ builder). The Draft Builder system is designed to assist in structures and compounds of writing, drafting, and organization by helping student's skills development in structure and advance for the average student.This program can be used to help all students understand the expectations of their teachers by portraying different elements of learning structures and learning designs. It could be a simple project in an art class or writing and formatting for an English course all students should be able to access efferent diagrams and written lessons through the Draft Builder.
They can build on their own skills and work to master the art of structure and design so that more time can be devoted to their writing.This program allows all students with disabilities or not to increase their confidences and access visual and auditory assistance with organization and diagramming 7 so they can write more coherently and creatively (website: http:// www. Don]nonstop. Com/products/draft_ builder/index. HTML). The average pricing for the Draft Builder according to the Don Johnson Website, is $139.
0 for each computer. There were also specials that were mentioned to get the entire building installed which is for the unlimited site license for $979. 00 per building.This program is an excellent idea for schools because it can assist educators and students with various lessons, teaching and learning skills.
Draft Builder can help educator's present lessons by displaying diagrams and projections and it can help student's develop an understanding of complex elements of writing. Don Johnny's Website: http://www. Don]nonstop. Com/products/draft_builder/index.
HTML My personal commendation is to use technology in the classroom not only is it asset to the schools; it allows them to get programs to enhance students' abilities in all areas.Programs today have the capability not only for the teacher to view how the student is doing they have it where the parent can also check on their children progress. I think technology is a great tool for teachers to use in their class and children are fascinated, interested, and want to learn. Research has shown that technology has the potential to change the way schools are structured.
The impact of technology in schools is viewed as being to new of an idea or the only way to make a change. Technology is a positive thing for the schools if it is presented correctly.To be able to incorporate technology teachers have to change the way they teach and provide the things that are needed for technology to succeed. Teachers have to realize they are the facilitators and they have to have student-centered learning methods.
The use of technology has to be smooth transition from the norm. Teachers have to be provided with training at all levels in order to 8 make this a successful tool for the schools. Leaders have to realize that the use of technology is a beneficial tool that will enable students to collect, create and analyze.The impacts of technology devices that can be used to help children are looked at through the software, and mediating hardware, and computers in a learning environment.
Technology devices are positive reinforcements used to assist students to learn and it can also can help with behavior management and enhance life skills. One might hypothesize that applied behavior analysis (ABA) is an active ingredient that assists students to develop creativity and learn basic skills, such as peaking, listening, controlling emotions (Assisted Technology Act, 2004).A variety of estimates of the total cost for schools have surfaced in the last few years. Many computer for a very basic computing environment (that is, desktops connected to the Internet). A 1996 report from the California Department of Education estimated costs for a four-year technology program at a school of 700 students with 33 staff to be $496 per student per year (California Department of Education, 1996). In conclusion, teachers are not comfortable using technology, leaving students in charge of their learning.
With the use of technology in the classroom students are understanding concepts better and their skills are improving. The use of technology reaches the students better than the use of the blackboard. Students are more interested in learning using computers; it is not boring and teachers can analyze the student's results in different areas. Technology is a great way to help students with different learning styles learn by use of different programs for the computer.
