MCPS is excited to
pilot a new class that integrates technology into history instruction with
students using multiple dynamic approaches to learn about World History. The
freshmen class will use Macbook Air laptop computers and SmartBoard Technology
to work collaboratively and in innovative ways to learn about global cultures
and history. This technology will create a much more individualize approach
toward history instruction that the tech-savvy Knights will appreciate. Much of
the instruction will be project-based which will challenge students to create
presentations and learn in ways outside of a textbook. The computers, housed in
a mobile lab, will be used outside of history classes to supplement other
teachers' instruction and provide more opportunities for MCPS students 7-12 to
learn about technology in a controlled educational environment.
