Project Tetard- Overhead Projector

 

Enhances- The overhead projector was an enhancement to the slide projector. The slide projector allows images to be displayed one at a time. The slide projectors were also difficult to use. The user had to put the slides in order and make sure they are inserted correctly. Due to slide projectors being difficult other forms of displaying images were developed.

Obsolete- The development of the overhead made slide projectors obsolete because there was user friendly. Teachers started using the overhead projector to display images from transparencies. The overhead projector provided a low cost interactive experience for teachers. Teacher began to use the overhead to display information rather than writing it on the chalkboard. It saved teachers time because the transparence and information could be reuse several of times. The overhead also allowed for teachers to face their students when presenting information.

Retrieves- The overhead projector is similar to the 1600’s Magic Lantern/Laterna Magica, which projected an image on by inserting a slide into the lantern.

Reverses- The overhead projector became obsolete through the use of computers and LCD video displays used in the classrooms. Teachers no longer have to use transparence to display images to students. Information began to be displayed through computer programs such as Powerpoint, and information found online or on the computers hard drive.  Teachers are began to use interactive whiteboards, which allows the students and teachers to interact with the information that is being displayed.

Emerged Technology in Education

Emerged Technology in Education

 The iPad is an emerging technology in the area of education in the last couple of years. Teacher and students are utilizing the various educational app to enhance their classrooms. It hasn’t become a mature technology because the iPad devices are very expensive. Schools are in the process of adopting the iPad. One challenge is the cost of iPads for the schools and another is they are very fragile. The iPad meets societal needs by allows people to have a mini portable computer, in which they can access the internet via wifi and or a data plan. It benefits society by allowing people access to the internet without being confined to a particular location. The Apple Company can improve the iPad by creating an usb port and an expandable storage ports such as micro card. If the iPad storage features were similar to laptops and desktop computers school may be able to afford the devices. Schools would just replace the laptops with iPads.
