What kind of technology do you get to use in your school? Chromebooks, VR (Virtua
l reality) headsets, phones, textbooks, desktops, netbooks, etc. McDowell Middle School still uses textbooks and others might use a computer as their resource, and some schools might not even have computers.
McDowell Middle School has a technology class where a student can use VR headsets, school phones, a green screen, 3D printer, and even a desktop. The desktops can be used just like any other computer and the green screen gets used for school news/videos of the technology class. The school phones are used for the VR headsets in which a student can see almost any place. One of the latest pieces of technology that McDowell has is the 3D printer, the technology teacher lets the students create a design or idea for the printer to make. The printer can print in any color (that he has) and any size as long as in fits in the printer. In the other classrooms there are chromebooks or netbooks, a smartboard, textbook, and even someone’s phone. Some classrooms may not have advanced technology and have to rely on new or out-of-date books. In 2015, about 3.2 million people in the world were connected to the internet but today some people may have had internet in schools and now the natural disasters have taken that away from them. Another school near the area has more advanced computers, apple computers, which are newer and nicer but can not be transferred from room to room as easily as chromebooks/netbooks.
McDowell has some of the latest technology of the past few years. Including a green screen, phones, chromebooks/netbooks, a 3D printer, and smartboards. Some schools may not have any newer technology but they may have textbooks or older computers. What kind of technology do you have in your school?
