The benefits of classroom technology can only be measured in how well the students and teachers actually use it. Far too often, teachers and faculty in schools across the world find themselves fed up with faulty A/V systems. Meanwhile, though, the students suffer most, because interactive classroom tech can’t live up to its name if it isn’t installed properly in the first place.
It’s crucial to provide clear, engaging visuals in classrooms whenever possible — whether they’re still images, animated clips, or videos.
It’s even better to get students up and moving, working to get their hands on those visuals to manipulate and share information with each other to provide multiple avenues for information to be burned into their brains.
But these bad classroom technology examples fail to accomplish any of that.
With a fresh school year ramping up, we hope none of the projects you’ve worked on this summer end up looking like some of these horrific examples.
