Our Future

Imagine a room filled with technology that we have never seen in our lives. Technology that we would never think could be in our own classroom. A strong advance in our classroom would make a huge difference in the way we learn lessons and our enjoyment. If I could create a new form of technology to make the classroom a better place, it would be touch tables.

What if you didn’t have to carry any books at all? And all of your information was kept in one small ball? This would be possible if we had touch tables. When we would walk into our classroom we will receive our ball from the teacher and would start our day. Already on there would be our lesson plan and our journal so we could copy and paste it in and review our lesson for the day. We could take all tests and quizzes within it. Also the teacher has control of all of the touch tables, however other students cannot touch your touch table. First of all you will have a hand scan and second a password. So your touch table will be yours and yours only. The touch table can be used for almost anything in the classroom.

Three ways that touch tables could be used in the classroom are lessons plans through the teachers touch tables, tests and quizzes would be preset, and you could do all of your assignments inside of it. You would go over the lesson plan with your teacher and you would read it together. At the beginning of the day your teacher will send the lesson plan to you and you would move it to your notebook. It will be the same with your test and quizzes. There will be a lock on the test and quizzes that the teacher can only unlock. Lastly, you will have to type in the assignments that are on the board and get started for the day. You will have assignments due in class and at home. You will be able to do bookwork at home not using the touch table. Touch tables are very helpful when it comes to not having backpacks, however they are also helpful for teachers and students.

Three ways touch tables help students and teachers is that the teacher knows the students are learning lessons well, students will not have to carry around a backpack, and there will be more organization for both students and teachers. The lessons will be the most important and now teachers know that students are getting the full lessons and not cutting them short. Also I think not having to carry a backpack around would be great. You won’t have to lug it around from class to class or worry about things getting stolen. Lastly, students won’t have to worry about losing papers or not having things with them. That will relieve a lot of stress off of students worried about their organization. Touch tables would benefit teachers and students in so many ways and these were only a few.
If I could create a new form of technology to make the classroom a better place, it would be touch tables. Touch tables will benefit our learning experience in so many ways. Touch tables will relieve stress off of students and teachers by how easy the system would be. It would keep teachers and students a lot more organized and things would run a lot smoother. I think education needs technology because with our technology age students would be more interested in learning. That’s why I think touch tables would be a great advance in technology in our classroom.
