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.
