Educational Technology: Not Just Computers
posted by: admin in Learn About Computers on 08 25th, 2011 | | 5 Comments »
This is the VOA Special English Education Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com
We received a question from a listener about how American schools use educational technology. There is not a simple answer.
It depends on the subject and level of students, of course. But it also depends on the interest and training of the teachers, and the goals and budgets of the schools.
Schools are almost all connected to the Internet. But some have more technology, and use it more, than others. For example, some schools use computers for activities like video conferencing, to bring the world into the classroom.
And some classrooms are equipped with things like a Smart Board, a kind of interactive whiteboard. Interactive whiteboards are large displays for presentations.
They connect to a computer and can operate by touch. They can be used for documents or writing or to project video.
Some teachers are trying creative new ways to teach with devices like iPods and mobile phones.
But educators say the most important thing, as always, is the content.
Yet technology can have special importance in some cases.
Cosmobot is a therapy robot. It stands about half a meter tall and has a blue body and a friendly face with big eyes.
One child who works with it is six-year-old Kevin Fitzgerald. Kevin has developmental dyspraxia; he has difficulty moving his mouth and tongue.
He works with Carole Semango-Sprouse as he uses a set of buttons attached to a computer. He can make the silent robot move forward, backward or around in circles.
Kevin’s mother thinks the robot has had a calming influence, helping her son get along better with his friends.
Cosmobot was developed by AnthroTronix. Corinna Lathan started the company ten years ago to work with children with cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, autism and other developmental disabilities.
Children become friends with the robot, she says. That can have a big effect on their behavior, helping them work harder and longer in therapy sessions.
Corinna Lathan is currently working with a British company to develop other socially assistive robots.
She says they are still considered research tools in the United States. They are not used as much as in places like Britain and Japan. But she hopes to change that.

Computers, Children and the Digital Divide
posted by: admin in Learn About Computers on 06 24th, 2011 | | No Comments »
This is the VOA Special
English Development Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish
Market researchers estimate that more than one billion personal computers are in use worldwide. Availability has improved in developing countries, but still remains limited compared to industrialized nations. Experts continue to debate how best to
close this digital divide.
Nicholas Negroponte established
the One Laptop Per Child project
in two thousand five. He would
like to put a low-cost laptop in
the hands of every child, especially those living in extreme poverty.
His nonprofit organization has shipped its specially designed laptop to developing countries around the world.
He says it is already in the
hands of more than one million children in thirty-one countries
and nineteen languages.
“And one country, Uruguay, has just completed doing every single child in the country,” he says.
But the program has critics.
They say trying to supply every child with a laptop, even at the current price of one hundred sixty dollars, is costly and inefficient.
Stephen Dukker also makes low-cost computers. But his can run programs and applications for several students at once. He says these “virtual desktops” lower costs, reduce energy use and lessen the need for technical support.
His company NComputing says it has set up over forty thousand networks in more than one hundred countries.
Stephen Dukker says all you need to connect to a network is a keyboard and monitor. “You think you’ve got your own computer all to yourself,” he says. Instead, users are sharing the resource and doing it at a much lower cost than having their own PC.
As computers reach more children in developing countries, so too in many cases is the Internet. It can be a great educational tool. But children also need to learn about the possible threats that can be found on social networks and other sites.
Mark Matunga is with Microsoft East Africa in Kenya. He says poverty
may put African children especially at risk. They are being told
“Hey, you know what? I can send
you a few dollars. I can come and visit you. I can buy you a ticket. You come to my country.”
His company is working with the Kenyan government and a children’s rights group. Mark Matunga says
the coalition is trying to educate the public about how to protect children from online abuse.

English Development Report, available on Twitter and
