Educational Technology
 Inthe article by Trang Pham-Bui , from
 Channel 13 news in PASCAGOULA,
 Mississippi a new and upcoming
 technology in the educational world is
 discussed which could revolutionize the
 education degree at colleges all across the
 world!
In the article an education class at the

    University of Southern Mississippi, uses
    webcams on laptops, a SKYPE
    conferencing account, and Bluetooth
    headsets to communicate with soon to
    be teachers, whom are doing their
    student teaching/teacher’s aide time.
    The article follows one student in
    particular.
Marie Ann Fell, a senior at USM had this to

    say about the new technology: quot;I'm able to
    work full time and go to college, and to
    able to get hands-on experience to see if
    this is truly what I want to do with my life,“.
    This technology allows students to keep
    their jobs without having to go to lectures at
    school because the professors can see
    everything the student is doing with the
    webcam, and can communicate instantly
    via the Bluetooth headset.
This article discusses a new

    educational technology called
    “Virtual Desktops” according to the
    article multiple users can share one
    PC, and do all of their own stuff on the
    virtual desktop without interfering with
    the other students whom as also
    sharing the same PC.
The article goes on to list quite a few

    advantages of the virtual desktop that
    could help several schools, especially
    during the hard economic times. Some
    of the advantages are: Cuts PC costs by
    70%, Compatible with standard PC
    technology, Drastically reduces IT
    complexity, Slashes electrical
    consumption by 90%. The only downfall is
    it costs approximately $70 per seat.
The articles says that seven of the top ten school

    districts in the United States have agreed to use this
    new technology to cut costs, which they can then use
    on the advancement of other services that need
    assistance within the school as well. With these seven
    school districts added that makes more than 1,500
    school districts using the virtual desktop software, with
    many more in negotiations to use it as well. To see a
    demonstration on how this virtual desktop works click
    the link below:

In this article by Elisa Casey, the University

    of Washington’s RIDE (Regional Initiative
    for Dental Education) is discussed. The
    dental professors at the school had been
    working for 5 years to be able to reach
    students in the rural, and under-served
    areas of Washington, and help them with
    the work in the dental school.
UWTV video engineer, Noah Pitzer said: “It’s

    our job to raise the level of
    videoconferencing within the classroom to
    near-television standards by incorporating
    multiple cameras, high-quality audio and
    seamless transitions for the users. We hope
    to lessen the barrier of technology so that
    people feel more connected and forget
    the distance.” This is good, so that the
    student can focus more on the work, and
    the lesson.
According to a lot of students and

    administrators at the school this new
    videoconferencing and distance
    learning is working, and it is helping the
    people in these rural and underserviced
    areas get the dental work they’ve both
    needed and had been lacking for so
    long.
In conclusion there are a lot of new

    technologies out there that are making
    education easier, better, more efficient
    and overall more enjoyable for both the
    student and the teacher. The three I
    mentioned here are not nearly all of
    them, and I am sure there a thousands
    more in the works that will change the
    face of education forever, and I for one
    am looking forward to it…a lot!
