Technology Essay

 

         Do you ever sit at school, at your desk and stare of into space? I have to say, school does get pretty boring at some parts and if we had great technology we would be able to stay on task more of the time because we wouldn’t get as bored. If I could create a new form of technology to make the class room a better place, it would be an iFloor book.

         An iFloor is on your floor in a classroom. It’s like a touch screen all over your floor. There are little spaces with just regular ground but most of it is touch screen. You can walk on it, draw on it, and pretty much use your body on it. There would be different features to it. You could ask it questions, it could show you examples of topics your focusing on, and it can teach you a lesson. Then iFloor seems pretty high tech to me and there are many ways it can be used for great study habits.         

         The iFloor can be used by solving math problems, learning lessons, and teaching you the skills you need for the rest of your educational life. Say your teacher gives you a math problem. You could step on the number you would need to use to solve the equation. If your learning a lesson, you could plug in words with the sentences and that way you’re having fun using a touch screen with your feet, but your also learning. It would teach you great ways how to study. For most kids, studying is boring and no body likes doing it. It would keep the kids entertained and
