Assignment #5

One new emerging technology found today is the touch screen. This is used everywhere, cellphones, grocery stores,museums, and restaruants. Touch screens are replacing keyboards and the use of the mouse. This could be helpful in education but it really deals with hand eye coordination still while dealing with technology. Kids need to learn how to use this because when they get out into the real world they will need to be able to use them. It could also be used in special education. Some kids cannot understand how to use the keyboard and mouse but with a touch screen it will be easier for them to operate their computer. Touch screens can also be used as motivation for students to study. As a teacher you could put reviews on computers and they can use the touch screen to study.
Another form of new emerging technology is robotics. This is a computer program involving physics and math. This could really only be used for upper high school students, but it would be a fun way for them to become excited about math and physics. with this program they could create a moving robot.
