How do you think the computer generation is learning? They are very skilled at picking up new technologies, such as the iPods, cell phones, and computers. Energizing your classroom with easy to use, fun tools that add to the education experience is only one part of the “Intelligent Classroom” (IC). Creation of reusable, multi-media enhanced curriculum will help teachers have more time to spend with their students. Students remember 10% of what they read, 25% of what they hear, 45% of
what they see and 65% what they hear and see. That is why we have included the “Interactive Factor” in our classroom IC designs. When looking at solutions for schools we look at all aspects of the solution. The “Interactive Factor” is defined by United Systems as the number of students that can interact with the teacher at the same time, and the cost per student to implement the solutions. There are many influences on the classroom and not all of them promote learning. We have been able to integrate many technology companies and products into real education solutions.
IC solutions need to have several requirements. They must be easy to use; durable; impactful; expandable; and tie into national and state standards. There also needs to be a plan for implementation. The most important part of technology in the classroom is the teacher. We have seen many cases where technology has been purchased and then set in the corner and never used. It was a combination of being too complex or not having the ability to measure the impact on the students. Let the experts at United Systems help with the total design of the "Intelligent Classroom".
