What technology does Asia use in their Schools?

We Answered:

In certain parts of Asia, more of the wealthy or developed area, the schools do use computers. Teachers don't really post homework online though.

In the poor areas, students don't even have real pencils.

I believe a robot teacher was tested out...in Japan I think?

Education K-12 : Insuring mid-value student use technology items?

We Answered:

Is this your personally owned equipment or is this school property? Depending on the value of the item, cost of insurance and out of pocket deductible for low cost items the insurance may not be worth it. If it is personally owned I was going to suggest insurance like renters or homeowners to cover it. I do not know what classes you teach but maybe if this is something out of budget you can charge a class fee of $20 per student and have that be on hold and let it accumulate for replacements. The PTO may be able to assist sometimes if they have the funds you can request classroom equipment.

What other fields of work can a person go into using some knowledge from a degree in medical ?

We Answered:

Medical Technology Engineer - the ones that build the MRI's, CT scanners and digital thermometers and such.

Medical Technician - the ones who service the machines made by the people above.

Depending on the level of education and talent, bioengineering may be a good fit - there's the gene therapy stuff, but I'm talking more of the artificial heart stuff.

Then there are the longer reaches - like medical software engineering (writing applications for the medical field); or medical equipment planning/consulting ( http://www.smwinc.com/about/services.htm… ); or engineering firms that specialize in building hospitals.

But of course, you can go my route, and just chalk up your college years as an expensive hobby and go do something entirely different - I'm a (sorta successful) IT construction consultant but went to school as to learn rocket science. Parents will be parents and will have to learn how to deal.

Good luck!

Randall Said:

what question can be raised about the importance of using technology in education?

We Answered:

Does it actually have an impact on educational standards?

Far too often, huge amounts of money are spent on technology, particularly information technology, based on a presumption that it will have a positive impact on teaching and learning rather than on evidence that it actually does.
