NCSU Tech-enhanced Lectern - Wall-mounted Articulating Arm Style (800x600 JPEG)

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 16:35:56 -0000

Comments:

This is getting closer to what I envision as teacher stations which complement our tech enhanced classrooms. Reduces some of the physical barrier between instructor and students. A variable height arm would also serve to accomodate persons with disabilities. I still want to embed a touch-screen LCD with stylus to turn the monitor into an Ink-capable station for mark-up purposes.

I like the mounting for the LCD screen in this one. The design is a bit cleaner but still seems to be cluttered with "stuff." posted by edventures

This course explores the potential impact of modern technologies on the school reforms debate. The first part of the course provides an overview of the current state of the school reform debate and reviews the ideas in the progressive school reform movement, as well as examining the new public charter school in Cambridge as a case study. The second part of the course requires critical study of research projects that hold promise as inspirations and guidelines for concrete multidisciplinary activities and curriculum for progressive charter schools. The course concludes with a discussion of the challenges in scaling the successful innovations in school reform to new contexts. posted by edventures
