Today’s classroom is filled with computers, and technology-assisted instruction is an excellent way to help students quickly learn important concepts. That’s the general topic of discussion at the Virginia Piedmont Technology Council’s January Speakers Luncheon Series.” Three panelists discuss how education is moving Beyond the Book: Using Technology to Enhance K-12 Learning. Paul Cholmsky demonstrates how gizmos created by Charlottesville-based ExploreLearning help students grasp math and science skills. Bill Ferster with the Curry School of Education is working on a project called PrimaryAccess to help students develop documentaries using historical films and images. Terry Levinson of Broaddus Wood Elementary School helped test the program in her classroom. Michael Latsko of Proquest moderates the panel.
Thanks for posting the podcast of this very informative and interesting panel. It was my pleasure to moderate such an enthusiastic panel. Just a nit: the correct spelling of my last name is “Latsko”
Thanks for the correction! That’s what happens when radio people are allowed to do anything for print!
Thanks for posting the podcast!
P.S. Following the lead of Mr. Latsko, I would also mention that the correct spelling of my last name is “Cholmsky” :)
I swear, I usually spell-check this stuff! How about a gizmo for spelling and fact-checking? :)
