Comments “This made it extremely easier to learn. It provided us with way more space on your desk and the chairs were a lot more comfortable which made listening easier. Also the interactive board helped explaining ideas and helped us memorize stuff more. I hope everyone gets a chance to use these amazing supplies for learning.” – Upton “With the new equipment I looked forward to class, it was a fun experiment being able to test these things out, but if I had to pick one thing to keep it would be the projector and being able to watch videos and podcasts on the screen.” – Upton Which piece of equipment do you think is the coolest? None of them. They’re all the coolest. - Clarke
Did learning in the COT make a difference for you? Yes!, the technology helped our teachers to use more visual techniques in teaching us. Yes!, it allowed more of a student interactive environment, the seating was new and allowed more student to student interaction. Yes!, we could cover more materials everyday because going from topic to topic took only a few seconds Yes!, it was more interactive, so I could be more involved. - High School
Which of the above items made the biggest impact on your learning. • The board, sound system, chairs & desk, and the aides (response system). I can hear and see easier with the board and sound system. • The interactive board, because it was easier to want to learn because it was more interesting. • I believe it was the software for the board, it was what allowed Mrs. Morris to show us the information for the class. • The microphone. I could actually hear her. • The carpeting, no but really the board is helpful. The student response system gets the students to interact and give answers and not fear the identity problem in case they are wrong. The microphone helps, because I know some teachers who are quiet. - High School
What difference(s) have you noticed most often when you compare our classroom with other buildings. • Other classrooms take more time, because there are not pre-taken notes, the other teachers must write down their notes. • This one is more fun to be in. You feel more alert, because you never know when fun stuff you'll see/use next. • I stay awake in the COT, more of a media based aspect on our curriculum. • The lights - saves energy, the board saves on markers and not so boring. The chairs & desks give you room to move comfy. • More comfortable and more interesting • Its not as boring as a real class where they talk, talk, talk, all day! - High School
What would you change in the COT room if you could? • More chairs with armrests. • I would make the whole room interactive board. • Yes, I would make more technology available to the students. • A digital clock, and put laptops on each desk, and food. • Nothing , it is amazing! - High School
Comments “The class room of today has impacted my work because the smart board is fun, so I want to go up and answer a problem on the board. The speaker system makes it a lot easier to hear so I don’t miss anything. It is nice to have a colored room. It makes it more peaceful, not just bland white. The lights are much easier on my eyes. When you do a podcast it is much easier to see and understand. The remote control is nice because you can control the lights, the smart board, and maybe even the volume of the speakers. This is why I think every classroom in this district needs one.” – Brown School Student
Comments “I think that having all the new stuff (chairs, tables, speakers, microphone, interactive board, document camera and the lights) makes school more comfortable and easier to learn and hear. It helps you learn (document camera) because you can see things close up. It helps you pay attention more.” – Lincoln School Student
SJPS Goal for the Classroom of Today • GOAL: To assure that all students in all classrooms have the opportunity to learn in true 21st Century Learning Environments as has been successfully modeled during the 2008-2009 school year. • ACTIONS: It is essential that adequate funding be provided to create and support these classrooms, on a long-term basis, be provided to support the significant cost of implementing and maintaining the Classrooms of Today. Our Educational Technology Specialists and current COT teachers are committed to work with the Administration, Board of Education, and St. Joseph Education Foundation to bring about a successful vote on a technology bond issue.
